I was just wondering is this place still open and does anyone go there cause when I was a kid I always wanted to go there but parents thought it was a dive.

Pacifico · 15-10-2005 5:17pm

Yes its still open, never been there and i dont think i ever will!

Chong · 15-10-2005 5:19pm

I always thought the food looked good as in when my friends would get some.

billy the squid · 15-10-2005 5:21pm

Last time i was in there i found that the food had gone to the dogs. They used to do a nice chili chip but alas the quality of their chips has gone downhill since.

limerick_man · 15-10-2005 7:34pm

what/ where is it?

Pacifico · 15-10-2005 7:36pm

Its a fast food place. Dont know what the street is called. Next to william street....

opposite the small xtravision in town

scuba steve · 15-10-2005 7:39pm

On Thomas Street, next to Brown Thomas. Ya its still open

Pacifico · 15-10-2005 7:40pm

On a side note the quality of fast food/food in the city is terrible!

The Lopper · 15-10-2005 8:57pm

Used go there a lot, but the quality of food has bombed in recent years

Chong · 15-10-2005 10:09pm

Great to get an interesting view on the place I for on hated it when they closed down burgerland.

Haha, Limerick is famous for food! The Limerick Good Food Circle, and other stuff like that has put us on the map for food.
Even that Shaws Ham ad says, "William Shaw opened his shop in the cntre of Limerick to sell..." Or something along those lines!
Its funny, but some places i'd agree with ya, but Chicken Hut ... thats like the god!

billy the squid · 15-10-2005 10:16pm

yeah but i would find it hard to believe that fast food take aways do the whole Limerick Food Circle thing.

scuba steve · 15-10-2005 10:19pm

Pacifico said the fast food isnt great, the other food/restaurants etc. are top notch around the city

Chong · 15-10-2005 10:27pm

Very true but nothing beats donkeys that place rules. I was telling my mate last week they did battered mars bars , so naturally he went in asked do they sell mars bars and the woman serving said no. He said then that I told him they do battered mars bars, she in turn said they do but u have to have ure own mars bar, and then he whipped six mars bars out lol . So she battered and he asked how much so she laughed, its free dont worry about it. How sound is that ,good old donkeys eh.

scuba steve · 15-10-2005 10:29pm

Ya Donkeys are great allrite

Amazotheamazing · 16-10-2005 12:09am

Where is fast food ever good? Fast food can only be eaten drunk, and even then you need to be pretty drunk.

BobTheBeat · 16-10-2005 2:44am

Have to agree, the place has become a bit of a dive in the past few years. Any time I pass by it at night,there's some agro outside :eek:

limerick_man · 16-10-2005 1:03pm

Chicken Hut
BurgerKing
Luigis
Donkeys

I'd say we arnt doing too bad!

radioman · 16-10-2005 6:44pm

Oh man I wouldn't go anywhere near the chicken hut, I know some people that work there and they are not the cleanest people in the world to say the least

Theres a place on high street, casa novas I think, does the best kebabs I have ever had

We have some great chippers though, Luigis and Lobster Pot do cracking chips, but the Lobster Pot is quite expensive i think

spinalsly · 16-10-2005 7:32pm

oooooooh luigis is just soooo good, pity its not in the city centre instead of arsing my way all the way up there

scuba steve · 16-10-2005 7:38pm

casa novas are lovely, as are lobster pots chips

Pacifico · 16-10-2005 7:40pm

Ok if you were working in the city centre where would you go for lunch lets say?

Granted there are lots of good Chipers in the city apart from that options are limited imo

limerick_man · 16-10-2005 9:47pm

There are hundreds of cafe/bistro/crepery/bagel style places, plus countless places that do carvery, plus every pub will serve ya a sandwich and every shop will feed u these days too.
You just need to look around!

sioda · 18-10-2005 2:35pm

I am astounded to think that yeea re talking about Fast food in the city and yee forgot about Papa Ginos Pizza on Denmark Street nothing better before a feed of arthurs.

Also for lunch in this town The Wild Onion on High street

scuba steve · 18-10-2005 5:15pm

sioda · 18-10-2005 11:31pm

Chong · 19-10-2005 8:19am

Its called "The Wild Onion" I think its run by Ruth and sometimes its called Ruths.

sioda · 19-10-2005 10:44am

Its run by Ruth and Bob a couple from Chicago

scuba steve · 19-10-2005 6:12pm

Dont get on Ruths bad side, she can be very cranky. Sound out tho usually

grumpypaddy · 20-10-2005 5:15am

kranks used to be THE place to go for fast food in the late 80s / early 90/s when it really was a very small shop on the corner!! around the time that supermacs opened in town, they expanded and in my opinion it lost the homely taste that it used to have, ie you could see the food being cooked and it was put together properly , not just pre made stuff like the bigger fast food outlets. a few years ago, the local people who owned it sold up and it is now owned by wimpeys... and it doesnt taste as good as it used to!

MikeTyson · 20-10-2005 7:29pm

ya it doesnt taste as good as it used to, but its still alright better than macky d's and them places. chicken hut is nice but it after eating a ****load of food there ud still b hungry 4 sum reason. i usually eat in the golden grill or get a takeaway from the yellow road
