Best chipper in Athlone

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

I was out a few nights over christmas and a couple of nights I ended up getting grub out of that chip van across from St Peter's Church. It was savage! I've been gone out of Athlone for 3 years now but I'm just wondering about peoples opinions on this. Where else is good/bad?

Any thoughts people??

That Chipper van is pure ****e.
Bethleem near mcdonalds/extravision is the best.

Roma out in monksland is good too.

Alfredoes was once the cream of all chippers but has sadly gone downhill bigtime.
Avoid the genoa , they dont like to wash their hands.

I'm liking the one out in Arcadia opposite B&Q, have been left waiting a long time on the odd occassion though, must be a good sign. The name escapes me at the moment though!!!!

Yeah, Genoa is nice, but the complete lack of hygiene is so apparent - picking up raw food and putting it in the fryer and then using his same unwashed hands to pick up a pizza slice - I confronted the supervisor guy and he told me that was the only way he could do it. Idiot.

Agree that Alfreddo's( i think they are still the only chipper that fry their onions) has gone downhill, and also Bethleem. Bethleem is not as good as it use to be but still good.

Mario's out by B&Q is quality but they do take forever. I phone in now. But I would probably put that as the best at the moment.

Wishing well out on the Dublin road is good. When you sit down they give you proper plates and generous helpings.

A few mates swear that Roma out in monksland is the best.

Lets not forgot about the Cookhouse, Gorgeous lamb base chips and burgers with everything( which really means everything)

Marios out by the college is decent enough and I happened apon the place beside the newish pizza place there too and it was mighty tasty.

But overall Bethleem gets the top marks

I have to say I am partial to the ultimate take away food....The Lamb Base chips with Everything, and I can only get it at The Cook House in Assumption Road!!! Yes the hygene and class is lacking, but it takes me back to the old days when we didn't give a f**k about it in the first place and all you wanted was greasy food, al la Freda's or Vals or Ryno's circa 1991!!!

Otherwise Roma, Mario's or Alkababish!

Jaysis tough one this. I think Alfredos do the best curry chips in the country. The big problem is all over the country the Italians can't make a burger. You need that from an Irish place. Thought Bethleem's pizzas were great at the beginning but kind of went off them. Was recently introduced to the wishing well. Great kebabs! I think the original diner out the Dublin road was the benchmark for chippers, even allowing for frozen chips. Have to confess the mad hoor does amazing burgers and chips. But if i had to pick one i'd go with Alfredos on the curry chips alone.

Don't you mean a "furry burger"

Yeah the curry cheese chip is quality, I can't stand curry or garlic on real chips, they have to be frozen imho!!! Real chips should just have salt n vinegar, thats it.

jacket/potato

has to be proper pizza out by the college, does savage offers and everythin! buy one pizza get another free on tuesdays and one delivery on tuesday is free too, theyre really sound in there too:D
Genoa is fantastic , betheleem isnt half as good as it was tho. wishing well are good too:D

boredatwork82

Have to disagree, was in proper pizza twice, first time was ****e.
2nd time walked out before I ordered as the service was pathetic.


After looking at this thread again, i think some lamb base chips are in order tonight...oh yes!

That's why I love Alfredos! They do the best curry chips in Ireland because they make it work with real chips. Only place i'll ever have curry on real chips.

I'll stand up for Proper Pizza, I've order three times out of there, always phoned in and it was ready when I arrived to collect. Everytime I ordered from there it was 2 for 1. It is by far the best of the Pizza outlets. It is a branch of Mizzoni pizza, far better quality than 4 star or Dominos.

If you ever feel like having something quick to eat make sure you never go to pizza Roma in Monksland, Athlone. Took me ages to recover from the food poisoning...NEVER AGAIN:mad: didn't like the service either

I like that place, food is nice and cheap and the lads are sound.

What did you order from them?

Savios is a class chipper , he does a deadly doner kebab , its not one of them monster yokes ya get in the kebab houses but its a nice size and its ****ing tastey.

I also reckon he does the best chips in town.

+1, I often go there whenever I'm around Athlone, its quick and anything I've ever had out of it was nice.

Must have been pretty bad if he decided to register just to give out about it

For chips and such I'd recommend Bethleem. Gone downhill a bit, but still the best I think.

Pizza, by far Apache. A 10er for a large pizza with 3 toppings, free delivery too. Only take 20 minutes and the lads in there are sound aswell.

The best chipper in Athlone is closed since earlier this year, it was the original Cookhouse in Tormey Villas
