    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...

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

    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:

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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

    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....
