    The Fry in Ballincollig is probably the best chipper on the west side of the city. Proper chipper too.

    I noticed that KC's don't seem to be doing burgers anymore...not listed on their website.

    Is this true?!

    Yes was in Toppers twice I found it very good must go back there shortly

    I only went there once, thought the chips seemed stale or like they were reheated, and the burger was no better than a Rustlers.

    Lennox's is so overrated. It's not been great since the 90s. Barties is a much better traditional chipper in that area. Dino's Bishopstown is pretty good too.

    Dennys by the silver key is very nice. Dinos brother owns it. And to the person on about John Grace's your correct its a brother of hillbillies owner runs it. Must try toppers haven't had it yet.

    Got Barties last week as Donatello’s was closed. I swear to god it was easily the most disgusting muck I have ever got in my life. I got a chicken baguette, wife got a wrap of some sort.

    We knew we made a mistake the moment we saw them. Basically the baguette is a soggy mess doused in mayo and not much else. Congealed badly. When I tossed it even my dog had a sniff and walked away from it. Her wrap was little better.

    Got a pizza for our daughter and a super valu own brand for €1 would have been nicer in taste and quality.

    Chips were just one big soggy ball.

    Should have known better as Barties has always been muck. Really no idea why we thought this time would be different.

    Always found Barties decent but I'd imagine the likes of a chicken baguette would be best eaten asap. When I get takeaway that I'm not eating in the car immediately I'd never get vinegar on the chips as they tend not to travel when when after a good sprinkle of vinegar.

    Doesn't sound like the Barties I know. Sounds more like a description of what I usually get from Donatello's to be honest.

    Depends on the staff at the time in any chipper, Dino's Bishopstown when the main ppl are Irish the portions and standard is better, nothing wrong at all with the non Irish staff but some of them just don't get it, pre covid is queues out the door will tell you who's in and who's not, Irish staff can take 6/7 orders others simply can't, obviously this will improve eventually,
    PS this isn't a racist comment ref non Irish, simply an honest statement of fact, Irish staff in chippers are tops when it comes to multi-tasking orders etc

    Must say that the last several times I've been to Dinos in Bishopstown it's been exclusively eastern European staff and the food has always been top notch.

    It's never exclusively eastern European, there's always one Irish present, and the little Portuguese lady,every Friday (pre covid)

    Except it doesn't cover your hole. It merely brings further attention to your racist drivel.

    If you feel the need to defend something as "not racist", it most likely is racist to everyone except people with racist views.
