Borza's fantastic.. but in saying that, their chicken is the worst thing on their menu. Way way too greasy!

It's gotta be the cod. It's so good in a really really bad way.

One thing I like about the 4 lights in the really low turnover of staff,Seems like the same people have been working there for years shows it's a well run business

Hubby raves about the 4lights full Irish breakfast.

Not a fan of junk food at all but if i fancy a bag of chips,Gusto in Collooney is a good chip shop!

BTW What or where is the four lights that you are all referring to?

Four Lanterns, John Street..

12-03-2010 4:00pm

Thanks,i know the place but never been!

bennyc · 12-03-2010 4:02pm

Dominicos in Ballymote anyone ?

Other than that either place in Cooloney but four lights is up there but only as a sit in, get cold way too fast.

Me neither but I've at least been in the 4 lights

Kinda legendary around Sligo, even if like me, you hate the food.

UrbanSea · 13-03-2010 12:30pm

Four lights doesnt do it for me,mind you their breakfasts are good.
Borza's or robertos for a pizza. Gusto's in collooney is hard bet too,their owned by the borza's aswell,aswell as a new one in grange that I havent seen?

tedshredsonfire · 13-03-2010 10:13pm

Jaysus basquille that picure is a few days old with the smokers own still in it. Smokers own used to be on gratten street before it moved there i think. 4 lights also went to where hayleys on o connell street before it moved up to where mcdonalds was but now i am really showng the age.

Yeah.. realised that alright. It was the only one I could see from a quick Google image search.

Smokers Own never moved, it just closed, that's Whyte's newsagents beside the four lights.

Whyte's isn't there,it's a new building there

Can I ask what's with the obsession with coleslaw on a burger in Sligo?!

Fair enough if you like it & you ask for it, but as your bog-standard topping?! Don't get me wrong, it's nice an' all but...a quarter pounder should have mayo/ketchup, lettuce, tomato & onion IMHO...
On the subject of favourites, Picnic Basket in Ballymote does a serious bag of chips for about 2.50. If you're hungry after this, there's something wrong with you! Lovely burgers too...

Four lights is obviously a Sligo thing as well. Don't see the appeal myself of tepid chips & re-heated chicken on a night out. It's nothing wildly amazing.
I like Robertos (housemates swear by the garlic cheese chips). Best is okay only. Haven't tried the new kebab place on Castle street yet, nor the food experience place. There's also a new one down from where Peter Mark's used to be.
The Pepper Mill (newly open) in Tubbercurry is really nice if you're out that direction.

I miss Scotty's & McDonaghs from Galway...:')

Truley · 25-03-2010 11:45am

I'm not into them myself but i've heard very good things about the new kebab house in Castle street. To quote a colleague of mine

"I'd even eat one sober!" :pac:

just had the chicken shawarma, sober, not the best one i've sampled, but would have it a again, not after a few beers though, could be quite messy, was quite a lot of chicken, salad, and sauce in that naan bread.

will try the doner next time.

UrbanSea · 02-04-2010 12:14am

What's a dutch chipper?

pappyodaniel · 12-07-2010 3:10pm

Was up in Sligo at the weekend and had my first Robertos experience. Hands down, the best doner kebab i have ever tried, it was bloody massive too and it broke my heart that i couldn't finish it. Nice friendly staff too.

Conor Bourke · 12-07-2010 10:09pm

Not a huge fan of chipper fare either but I would almost drive back up from Limerick for a feed from Roberto's or Gusto in Collooney..... om nom nom nom.. to die for! :pac: :pac: :pac:

Mint Sauce · 12-07-2010 10:14pm

i'm actually tempted to drive from sligo to collooney just to sample robertos now

Conor Bourke · 12-07-2010 10:24pm

No, no, noooooo Roberto's is on High Street! If you do end up in Collooney though, go to Gusto. You will not be sorry.

ah yes, i know robertos now, have passed it many times going to zam zams

shanec1928 · 13-07-2010 3:13pm

their pizzas the best in town hands down

UrbanSea · 13-07-2010 9:51pm

Gusto's in Collooney's pizzas are even better than Roberto's,if possible. The chicken fillet kebab in Roberto's was an honour to eat.

lippy88 · 15-07-2010 12:49pm

Ok after reading all the comments here about doner kebabs i must say that the best doner kebab in Sligo is definitly the Robertos in Ballysadare!! believe me iv tried all the chippers and this 1 definitly beats all the oders includin its sister chipper on high street!!Deliiiicious

Mint Sauce · 16-07-2010 12:05am

so i tried robertos for the doner, its good, but its no zam zams. will go back though to try the pizza or the chicken kebab at some point.

A man after my heart. Make sure to get some cheese on the kebab

Gillie · 16-07-2010 1:25pm

Dominco's in Ballymote.

That is all..

You won't regret it,cheese makes everything better.

Janine87 · 18-07-2010 10:38am

For Curry Chips it is definitely Happ Eater by a mile!!!
I dont like the burgers in there though because they are throwing coleslaw on it. YUCK
The second best one would be Borza for me but also the Four Lanterns.

N4 · 20-07-2010 12:40pm

What about Riva in Grange ive been there a few times i think some of the fellas that worked in Brozas has it every bit as good as borzas

Yellow Dog · 29-10-2010 6:25pm

Gotta be Robertos for me.

Smoked Cod & Chips for me & Chicken Fillet Kebab for herself.

Next would be Borza.

Not so fond of Happy Eater. OK if you eat in or collect, but deliveries very poor.

4 Lights OK for a Snack Box.

KFC lovely, but no delivery :mad:

TequilaMockingBird · 29-10-2010 7:33pm

Anyone else had any problems with Borza lately? Not as good as it used to be imo.

Yeah same, me and my Dad have moved our loyalties to Roberto's

Mint Sauce · 29-10-2010 9:20pm

Am yet to try Borzas, apart form the Battered Mars Bar.

Has anyone tried the place on the enterance to Wine street car park. Think its called Charcoal something, used to be under another name (its beside the video shop).
