    Just had garlic chips and a veggie burger from there. Serious amount of chips alright :-o The 'small' portion was a full snack box of chips. Pat McDonagh would have a seizure if he saw it. The garlic was lovely and thick but they could have put a bit more on. Nuttin special about the veg burger once we established I didnt want bacon on it (she misheard my order) but it was grand and filling. Ive enough chips left over for a buttie tomorrow so value for money. Everything cooked from scratch as well.
    Strangest thing about the whole thing was while I was waiting outside having a smoke the 'character' who goes around waving his arms and speaking in tongues came over and asked me for a cigarette in perfect english. I was so taken aback I gave it to him lol.

    Second day old chip buttie...not for the faint hearted! :p

    Must give it a go.
    Finally got off my arse and went to Norio's tonight rather than getting it delivered. Still think their 5 euro meals are hard beat.

    I always eat the chips first, and microwave half burger/kebab the next day (though possibly not for breakfast).
    You can microwave everything except chips it would seem!

    This is true. The grill is the saviour of second hand chips.

    Have been in here three times for their 'Shack Burger' now its pricy @ €5.20 but damn is it yummy. Basically a really nice 1/2 pounder with jalapenos :D

    My first two experiences werent great from a servive point of view though. First time the owner thought it was more important to fill up his minerals in the fridge than serving me and took about 10mins to serve me.
    Second time I had to wait for the server to finish a full john player blue before he came in to serve me, I prob sound like a pain but when it takes 5mins to get served and then another 8-10mins to cook :/

    Tried it as well last evening, not too shabby! I had a burger and an order of chips - order of chips was as big or bigger than it is everywhere else in town, and I saw a couple eating what looked like maybe taco chips? HUGE order.

    I wasn't knocked out of my shoes, but for a girl who hasn't had beef in almost four months, it was pretty okay! I'd probably eat there again. Girl behind the counter was super nice, too (just a little too heavy on the salt on my chips ;))!

    Had a milkshake today, a little expensive but worth the taste. Was expecting something like the dodgy ones in supermacs, but there proper milkshakes, Delish

    GiddyBlonde you should know that reviews of new businesses from users with only two posts, both pushing for the business, don't carry a lot of weight around here. ;)

    Just ordered a pizza from here. As a native Chicagoan, I know pizza. I'm really really tough on pizza. I have ridiculously high standards.

    All I can say is Wow. Wow wow wow. I think I got too many toppings, because they piled them on so heavily that the pizza was hard to eat! :D Delicious. Just delicious. Considering the portion size, I'd say this place is very easy on the wallet, as well.

    Very very pleased. Best pizza I've had in Ireland.


    (And once again, the employees were very nice!)

    We popped in for a slice the other night, and thought the pizza was pretty good, I'd get it again. The staff stood out as being very friendly.

    I love this place.

    Was having a few people over for a birthday a few weeks ago. Rang them up and asked them for a deal and they gave me a pretty sweet one.
