The 9th Lough Take Away

Food is nice if they send the right order to you with it’s laughable time after time they sent the wrong order numerous times we ordered a quarter pounder and was sent a fucking turkey burger a fucking turkey burger turkey on a burger it just doesn’t work bad old place i only give it two stars because they do good quarterpounders

I’m biased in a way because this lovely establishment was my first ‘chipper’ ever. In my 3 years in Ireland now this is still my favorite. I’ve been to a few more over the years, but somehow there is still something more special at this place.
Is it that it’s nestled in a cozy neighborhood out here in Clondalkin?
Is it because the lads who work there take the time to know your name and ask about your family?
Is it because everything is battered and fried with love?
All of the above are more than dear!
I like the donner kebab if I go for dinner, but after a proper session of drinking the night before chips smothered in vinegar and a battered sausage just can’t be beat. If you’re feeling properly healthy, try the fish and chips and don’t be shy with the vinegar.
I’m all about healthy eating and fine dining, but every now and again don’t we all need a little chipper in our lives? :D
Treat yourself to the best!

The family that eats together, Unilocal together.
Now THESE are the chips that you would eat out of a young wans knickers.
Thank GOD for the great snowdown of 2010. I decided to take an early flight from Donegal to Dublin a day before I was due to fly back to the US and was staying with my loverly Unilocal sister Edel N. who lived a street away from this place. We ran out and did some last minute essential provisions shopping for me to take back to the US (Tay Bags, Bisto, OXO cubes) and on the way back to hers spied this place, open. Dinner!!!
Standing at the counter of this regular chippie I commented that I haven’t had a real Eyetalian/​Dub fish and chips since I left Ireland when I was a pup, or was that when Methuselah was a pup. In any event, it was a long time ago. This place was SPOTLESS. Immaculately clean. And they have a vast menu with a little something of everything.
Course, the eyes were bigger than the belly and I ended up with TWO smoked cod and chips and a battered sausage for good measure. I was sorely tempted to order a spice burger but my Ulsters (as the auld wans at home would say about indigestion) would have been giving me a hard time on the plane the next day. So I’ll have to save that for the next trip.
Well, the chips were delicious and so cleanly fried in fresh oil and fluffy, and the smoked cod was HUGE, hanging over the plate and also fresh and delicious. Like an eejit I underestimated and ordered way too much. The first bite of the battered sausage surprised me too cos I forgot that they don’t cook them first before battering them, so its kinda like a boiled sausage, but then it was lovely.
Well, standing there waiting for «the feed» I cracked me arse laughing at the woman who came in beside me and her and her fella asked for the «special». Hamburger and chips and a can for 5 Euro. Then she looks up at at the menu board and spies the Dublin Bay Prawns special and turns to her chap and says «here, would ya not go fancy with tha?». Ahh Dublin.

Super fresh home made chips, the usual selection of burgers, chicken, fish but soooooooo good. They also deliver which is a plus for me.
