Best bag of chips/chipper in the city?

muppetkiller · 31-08-2015 04:58PM

Vinnys in Dominick Street are the best for me.

As for Hooked I can't see why people rate that place so highly. I live next door and have been about 5-6 times and think it's average at best. Chips are regularly undercooked too from my experience.

Vinnies can be hit and miss...
I must try the Oslo getting good reports on it, although not a chipper..

I was out saturday night and was back the west, I went for food after pub, tryed vinnies but it was full so I went over to the kebab house (brave move after the las time i was there) and got a chicken kebab meal, must say kebab wasn't bad at all although i wounldnt like to try there doner kebab not good from what i hear, chips i got with meal were rank preheated and full of grease, like the burger I got before, as I said before I think this place has out played its slef, a good fish & chip shop here would do well.. A gold mine I would think if the right on was there...

Where's the best place for ribs?

Falf · 31-08-2015 11:08PM

Ribs in chippers/takeaways, na don't think so...

Why are you quoting and question mark-ing your own post, maybe ease off the chips and/or grease.

Why are you ???ing your own post? Having second thoughts?

edit: what Ben said. Strangely enough page 4 wasn't there when I posted above even though he posted it hours earlier!

Had bacon cheese chips in Vinnie's on Saturday night. My only complaint was that after I had finished eating them, I had to fight the urge to get MOAR!!! :pac:

Falf · 01-09-2015 12:24PM

Take it easy mr Ben and mr sandman,

??? Was meaning, what do you think of my post as regards to kebab house....

As for the chips and grease, isn't this what this form is about, finding out what chipper is best in Galway....

Nice chips = less grease....

wp_rathead · 01-09-2015 12:36PM

The chips are okay there, but ye have got to get Chicken Goujons in Kettle of Fish

Must be made from fecking STALLION chickens

BunkMoreland · 01-09-2015 12:41PM

Falf · 01-09-2015 01:54PM

Basically they are massive in compared to standard Goujons
The batter on them is amazing

Ah yeah 80-90% of the time they're great,just the cupla times it happened in the three or so years I've been going there for them

Mervyn Skidmore · 01-09-2015 09:22PM

Got a bag of chips in Jack Jordan's a while back when I was passing. They were grand but it was the smallest bag of chips I've ever gotten from a chipper.

FortySeven · 01-09-2015 09:29PM

Aroma in Headford do the best chips in County Galway hands down.

dastardly00 · 01-09-2015 10:28PM

I'm going to be racking up the mileage on the car when visiting Oranmore, Claregalway and Headford for bags of chips

Make sure you haven't been drinkin' before you drive out there - Otherwise you might end up having to blow in the bag.......

I don't reccommend eating your chips at the tables outside of McDonaghs. I tried to do so lately and I was pestered constantly by about 4 separate diseased looking pigeons, who landed on the table and came right up to my plate... shooing them away several times they kept coming back, right up to my food...take your eye off your plate for a second and they'll spoil your grub.

they used to have a chain link curtain to deal with this, but not any more. they need to bring it back ASAP because the pigeons are brazen and know the tables very well apparently.

put me off my food once the filthy pigeon landed right up beside the plate and started flapping its mite ridden wings over my chips...

the irony is you wouldn't get the pigeons getting this close to your food - close enough to contaminate it - if you were just sitting down at the spanish arch. the pigeons seem to know these tables...

Falf · 04-09-2015 06:29PM

If that's the case the should have something to deter them, lots of tourist would be
Well pissed off if this was every day.

Wat I haven't seen in chippers here in ireland is to have the choice of
The home cooked chips and the frozen ones in the one chipper, iv seen this in a shop in uk and they were Always busy, although ther food was good aswell...

heathledgerlove · 05-09-2015 07:19PM

Rockin Joes / Eddies, lovely crispy chips with the blue cheese dip, lovely

They have a great array of side dishes, hard to decide! You can half / half them too, love that place when you're starved

Falf · 05-09-2015 08:07PM

Ya there burgers are class, tha blue chees mmm...

And as I said sometimes frozen chips are way nicer...

I think a chipper that would give you the choice of frozen or fresh hand cut chips
Would do well here....

I know that this is an old post but I think it's appropriate to continue it now that an old icon is about to close it's doors for good, yes costello's KEBAB HOUSE Dominic street is to close in the next 2 weeks for good... let's have your toughts on this old icon of galway city... chips weren't that bad here... we're they??

It's own dedicated thread wasn't enough?
