    Mac donnaghs hell no I never understood the appeal of that chipper

    Oranmore used to have the best burger and chips been a couple of years so that could have changed

    I hav yet to try the fisherman in salthill, I think salthill fish and chips hav gone down hill a bit, it used to be nice but chips bit on greasy side lately, also vinnys on Dominic street gone down hill... Although at 3am don't think anyone would notice...

    Whats the thread about? :cool:



    Anyway id say McDonaghs has improved, Kettle of Fish can be very good but can be hit and miss and Vinnies is great after the Roisin.

    Hooked do some great auld chips.
    The Kebab shop on Dominic St do some strangely delicious ones (strange because they are not proper chips).
    Mc Donagh's hit and miss but when they are good they are very good.

    All else has disappointed me more than 2 times

    Hooked.

    Had mcdonaghs a few weeks ago, first time in years. Pretty good.

    Vinnies is very good anytime I've had chips there.

    The last few times I've had chips from kebab house they've not properly cooked.

    I can't commit to one.

    Capone's in Knocknacarra do great chips.

    The Fisherman and Salthill Fish and Chips are lovely too.


    This could be controversial... but I really really love Supermac's chips if they're straight from the fryer. If they're not burning hot, forget about it. But there's a magic 10-15 minutes where they're godly.

    Only thing I like in supermac's is there 5oz burger it's the only thing that tastes a bit homely.... As for the kebab house, now that's asking for trouble, got a burger in there one night and the bun was half frozen.... I'd say a good fish and chip shop were the kebab house is now would do very well... I think that kebab house has passed its time...

    Oslo in Salthill do unreal chips, nothing like a pint and a portion of those chips on a Sunday afternoon. Vinnies do good chips as well and out Oranmore side, Giovanni's is really good.

    Oslo's chips are good alright. They do a fantastic steak sandwich. Skip their 1kg bucket of wings tho. They're just fried, plain, unflavoured wings. Best wings, now that's a whole other thread.

    There's some serious eating in those chips though. Had a portion yesterday for lunch and was still nicely full 3 hours later.
