    McDonaghs have great chips. And fish too - not sure about their chicken though.

    I love their chips but I'm not a fish fan unfortunately

    Come back! I've found zanadoo when it comes to fish and chips in Galway - Kettle of Fish, across from Buskers.

    Was a McDonaghs fan for manys a year however I think their food has gotten extremely greasy recently (even for fish and chips). The food in KOF is top quality and in my humble opinion the best chipper in town.

    If you're looking for a burger or a kebab look no further then Charcoal Grill. 1/4 pounder with cheese is quality. Mmmm Charcoal Grill.

    was in there last week.. its ok but the food doesn't travel (i.e. takeaway, goes very mushy)

    also the price seems to be very steep compared to the rest

    nice veggie burgers though.


    still though.. cant beat mcdonaghs for chicken and chips... i don't bother buying fish from them any more ( i have a freezer full from fishing trips :D)

    Curry cheese chips from the kebab house. that's what i'm talking about!

    Del Rio's RIP.
    THe original Italian take away in Galway which closed a long time ago. The staff were actually Italian (as opposed to the Polish & Chinese guys in Mario's in Barna) and they would talk about football while they deep fried your battered sausage ***mouth waters as he types***

    Anyone else remember Del Rio's?

    Bake N' Take?
    Beefeaters?
    Wimpy?

    I don't think I ever eat from these joints whilst I was sober.

    I see and approve your choice of food, Kebab house all the way, try the above with garlic sauce on top and throw in a monster burger with everything on it but NO TOMATOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    kebab house and salt n pepper in salthill.

    kebab house and salt n pepper in salthill.

    salt and pepper have seriously gone downhill over the past few years, they seem also to change the staff more than enough too..

    mid to late 90's salt and pepper was the place to eat in salthill, at least its still better than supermac's though..

    When you eat in there, it is really good but the take away is muck. Fish and chips in a cardboard box, like a supermacs snackbox?! Not good

    Del Rio's was quality, i went to school with one of the lads, sound as a bell.

    Beefeaters was good, quality curry.

    My favourite though was the old Salt n Pepper.They used to do quality chips, don't know if their supplier changed or its the new cooking units but they just ain't the same.Still do a proper 1/4 punder though.

    Wimpy was rough, it was like a cattle mart the queing system, you were always guaranteed a fight outside on the weekend.

    Salt n Pepper was brilliant years ago but not great these days, the Garlic sauce is mank, more a vinegar taste from it:mad:

    Funnily enough I ended up going in to KOF instead. It was delicious! Totally satisfied the craving

    Ah, does poor auld Pat McDonagh and Supermas not get a look in?

    Love their curry chips. That said Kebab house are particularly spectacular after a feed of pints in the Róisín, especially the chip butty thing they have with all the sauces.

    Mmmm!!!!!!!!!

    How does that taste? I've only ever licked honey off her when I'm stone cold sober.

    Del Rio's was miles ahead of the competition, I was passing by there with some friends the other night and we all started grumbling that we had to go to "Super"macs...missed Del Rio's. A curry chip (drenched in vinegar) with the monster onion rings they used to make..that, my friends, was good living.

    There have been lot's of pretenders since Del Rio closed but none really come close (that chipper on Domnic street near Monroe's ain't bad though).

    Sorry should have put a comma after Knightly. Tut tut, no excuse for bad grammar.

    I remember Del Rio's! I used to live beside them in knocknacarra. The food in there was unbeatable..

    Anyone remember Hannibal's on Lower Dominick St? Man alive, I'd kill for one of their BLTs, to this day.
