    I've gotten the burger and chicken curry from Chipsy Kings on South Main street and thought it was pretty decent.

    Yeah, Chipsy Kings was my favourite chipper while I lived there. Nom.

    The burger is deliciously meaty, but the amount of salt in the curry is unbelievable. Great when drunk but so overpowering.
    Nice crispy chips as well, kinda reminds me of the chips in Amsterdam (except the Amsterdam ones have mayonnaise and peanut satay on them - how this hasn't caught on everywhere else...I'm at a loss).

    Dino's in Bishopstown isn't bad at all, in a greasy sort of way. I have been known to ram-raid the place after a few beakers. :cool:

    Lennox's is just gone so downhill. I live near it for the last 5 years and it has just got worse and worse. Chips are either overdone, underdone or just balls of grease.

    Im loving el banditos on washington st. Beautiful borritos and you feel pretty good after eating one too.

    Its been pretty much the same with the last 20 years. Obviously there are times when you can get bad chips etc but I see no great change overall over this time frame.

    I've been there twice and both times the fish and chips were terrible.

    The Fish Wife should be on the poll, it's superb! KC's is king though... specifically King Creole!

    Tried fish wife a few times now and it is definitely the best all round chipper in the city. Lovely chips, great fresh fish and burgers not the soggy crap in lennoxs.

    yeah lennox's is far too soggy and fish was poor as well when I was there. I've lived on bandon road and wouldn't have gone there much at all tbh

    Yep, went there a few weeks ago and it was awful. Half of it went to the bin I'd say.

    For Fish - thr Fish Wife on MacCurtain Street is by far and away the best in Cork City. Just different league of choice of fish and quality of fish.

    Also the Fish hatch at the side of the Imperial Hotel just near the GPO.
