The best chips in Tipp

G Luxel · 12-09-2011 2:08am

maybe the sign was behind the counter on top of the till for him maybe....but no, not for me.....all i wanted was a snackbox and a bottle of coke...and he said 5.50...so handed him the 5.50 and then sat around and waited for 5-10 minutes observed the overladened community noticeboard with flyers, businesscards, everything from local novena to nightclasses in whatever! then when i received the snackbox from the girl, i said ''theres a coke as well'' and she went over to the sliding fridge and gave me the coke. I walked out the door down the carpark and then the manager who had taken the order starts calling me to say that he undercharged me by 1.50 euro :eek: and that he was ''sorry'' so i just handed him a few coins RELUCTANTLY and then decided that I would never set foot in there again....even if a big glowly flashing sign into that village said FREE FOOD.........:mad: appalling service

So you're pissed off for having to pay for your bottle of Coke. I see...

julyjane · 12-09-2011 10:53am

It is a bit miserly I have to say running after you for €1.50 - how much have they bought the cokes fo About 75c maybe, and how many of them have they sold already? I'm sure their costs are well covered.

Still if I liked their food it wouldn't put me off going back there

NO...im pissed off at the fact that if I were a Mystery Shopper...he would get ZERO....for his bad customer service......

Exact opposite happened me in that Kebab place near the Guards Barracks in Clonmel. Can't remember the name of the place but I place a fairly big order with him, and paid him whatever he asked (donno exactly, something like €24). I waited in the place and a couple of mins later he called me to the counter to tell me he had OVERCHARGED me by €2.50. I honestly didn't know he did, but fair play to him. He knew I didn't know he made a mistake, and could have said nothing.

It was a bit petty of him to run after you for the sake of €1.50. If you were a regular customer, he'd know that he'd make it back from you in a short space of time. Now he has you lost for the sake of the €1.50.

Mona Lisa in Thurles used to be nice but have gone downhill, don't know if it's perhapd the oils not being changed enough or what but shame coz they used to be nicer.

No where in Thurles now that does proper fresh, decent chips.

polc07 · 13-09-2011 10:39pm

I have to say, my top three are

1. Miss Ellies - Clonmel
2. Parnell Grill - Clonmel
3. Village Grill - Clerihan

Mr. Guappa · 18-09-2011 1:17am

I used to rate the Roma in Cahir very highly but it is going downhill rapidly. I honestly can't remember the last time I got a decent bag of chips in there. (I'd go there once or maybe twice a month). Also, the snack boxes used to be lovely from there.. recently they have been poor for me.

Passed through Tipp Town there the other night and got a bag of chips in McBurger.. they were just lovely!!

I'd agree that Lyons in Clonmel are overrated. I haven't had food out of the Mayfair when sober in about 12 years but they are only fantastic at three in the morning!

#1 has to be the Central Grill, Main Street, Carrick-on-Suir and most definitely the cleanest.

I was in there a few weeks ago and they don't do taco chips:( why??

Because you can't teach an old dog new tricks! I don't like the fish in the grill much, it's OK when you're dying with a hangover and just want the grease but Aarons have the best fish in town, Fats have nice fish too but the hour you'd spend waiting hardly seems worth it

alan27 · 02-12-2011 5:30pm

the old dog has been in business for 30+ years, you wont find many to match that.

MidnightQueen · 03-12-2011 7:38am

O' Donnells Chipper in Ballyclerihan.

Excellent food!

radagast · 03-12-2011 2:57pm

Romano's on Clare Street in Nenagh isn't bad either, tbh!

flanders1979 · 09-12-2011 8:17pm

marios in thurles, tasty even when sober. Had a nice cod there a while back(may not have been cod though)

triseke · 10-12-2011 3:39am

I know its a little over the border in Mooncoin, but Grace's chipper in Kilkenny is to die for. If your ever heading towards waterford from Clonmel, its def a place to visit.

Massive portions, decent price, and so very good. Worth it if heading to waterford.

The place in Clerihan is getting great reviews in this thread. I'll have to swing by in the next few weeks.

The Mona Lisa in Thurles has always been my favourite place to eat. I have eaten from The Pike and Marios but i always return to the Mona Lisa. I love the chips there

That place is very very clean as well.

The "behind the scenes" bits are spotless there.

Good choice.

(And NO, I don't own it nor have I any involvement in the place).

Aye and generous (ie ridiculously large) amounts of chips

It's actually called Fats Quans not Fats Swans. I love it myself but it seems to take a day and a night to get anything to eat in there, wrecks my head waiting so long

Patsy fyre · 18-12-2011 9:01pm

Not sure of the name but the chipper across the road from the church in Cashel does savage food, I mean the cod and chips there is immense, morellies is decent also.

23-12-2011 3:04pm

I have put on a stone since coming across this thread,cant read it without going out for c:Dhips

MidnightQueen · 28-12-2011 4:02pm

DaveJac · 30-12-2011 12:00pm

Used to love there Kebabs back when it was Adams! But thats a long time ago now and Im a long time gone out of Elm Park

No consistantly good chipper in Thurles anymore. Pike is good if the guy that owns it isnt there, unfortunatly he is always there lately. Marios varys from good to terrible. Mona lisa used be good but now not worth paying for parking. Worst Supermacs in Ireland, wouldnt even get an icecream there again. Is pepes in Kilenaule still open, worth a visit. If I have to eat in this area I usualy pick Littleton or all day breakfast in Mother Hubbarbs.

Sar_Bear · 11-03-2012 9:23pm

Nino's in Templemore used to have the best chips, not been there in awhile now, and I think management changed so not sure what they're like now!
Mammas in Nenagh is also a contender!

twincamman · 27-02-2015 6:57pm

3 years on ,now whats the best chipper around

Clonmel1000 · 27-02-2015 11:35pm

Ms Ellies and Lyons in Clonmel the 2 best in town....
