E. M.

The thick chips are my favourite ones and the chicken wrap is delicious.

E. H.

Fantastic food brilliant staff worth a visit

S. C. (.

Great gluten free options for my partner and not greasy like most gluten free chip shops .. batter is light and crispy and portions are perfect. Would highly recommend

B. H.

Ordered from here two days in a row. The large chip, I thought, was equivalent to a regular bag in other places. But the chips the chips are good. Both occasions I had to ask for the salt and vinegar as it was neither assumed nor offered. The fish offering could be better, the online menu on just eat does not offer smoked fish,( I did not check the on site menu) the fish itself while plentyful was very oily on one side and mostly bland. A wedge of lemon included would go a long way toward correcting this. I was impressed by the burger menu,any establishment, in my book that includes an egg on burgers is doing it right. I didn't have one myself but a colleague did and said it was quite good. The curry sauce looked a bit anemic and tastes like a chicken stock is used, I'm not fond if that style myself. The staff are friendly and smiley so that goes a long way to bringing customers back.

T. M.

Foods lovely good portions will definitely be back.

A. B.

First time visiting the takeaway. Food is really tasty (I know it's not healthy). Not sure if they are using lard to fry their chips, because they're really good. Nice menu selection. Staff are very friendly. Will be back next time I'm due a treat.

K. M.

Help me out with an order for my sister's Birthday as Im based in northern Ireland and unable to be with her due to COVID. The team when over and above. Thank you so so much. Top quality food and service. 🥰

C.

Had fish and chip a few months back. Portions were great only minor complaint was the fish got more greasy as it cooled down but that can't be helped. Overall great experience and our waitress was so lovely.

E. O.

Amazing gluten free options, top quality food especially their beef and fish. Chips are delicious and they manage to make them not greasy (hard to do)! Always consistent with their meals and very speedy delivery for takeaways!

E.

Nice restaurant to sit in and a have a good meal. The food was very tasty and there was quite a lot of it. This restaurant also has been commended for their burgers being one of rue best in Ireland, I can verify that the Burger I had was one of the better burgers I have had these past few years. Wait was a bit long but worth it.

S. B.

We take our family there everytime we visit letter Kenny, its a family restaurant with a fantastic variety of menu and massive portions, my husbands favourite is the dirty burger, let's say it satisfies him all day,. I love the fact you get a big pot of coffee unlike other establishments where you just get a small cup and have to pay for a refill. To top things off fantastic value for money you won't be disappointed. A family winner all round.

P. D.

Fantastic food. Great service. Recommended It won't disappoint.

J. C.

Always great food. Service out standing. Staff excellent. Clean and tidy restaurant. A very busy restaurant and always great service each time I visit. Always order chicken combo meal never changes.

F. O.

Traditional fast food eatery. Has diner and takeaway setup and they do local deliveries. The hand cut chips are the real deal and their curry sauce is to die for. They do the usual stuff; fish & chips, burgers, chicken nuggets, steak subs, fried breakfasts, plus loads of sides...the list is endless. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. It's not the cheapest around but the quality of the food is good and the portions are more than ample.

J. B. (.

B. C.

Second time there, foods is very nice and filling reasonably priced, the staffs fun and friendly and full of chat!

L. B.

VEGETARIANS BEWARE I can't downgrade my review because the food and service is consistently good and most people don't care what they fry with but... as a lifelong vegetarian I checked on more than one occasion over the years that they fry in vegetable oil only to accidentally discover recently that they actually use LARD (animal fat) which, as a regular customer and vegetarian is horrifying. VERY DISAPPOINTING ! Previous review : The best chips in Letterkenny and an amazing place to eat. They are friendly and efficient while constantly and consistently delivering bgood food. It is a marvellous family eatery with simply good food - no frills but you won't leave hungry or disappointed!

P. M. M.
