The curry sauce is the right consistency, just the right amount of thickness. Kansas city bbq, flying fish pittas, chimmichangas and Transilvânian burger are all worth a sample. It's a tight enough spot for room but there is plenty of interesting bits and bobs on the wall to keep you entertained and the music they play is always decent too. You wont hear ke$ha played in there. Top tip:kcs website has a dash cam so you can check the queues before you decide to head in.

Excellent service and genuinely pray they never change the look of the inside. The line gate inside is part of my personal sentimental memories now and I really need it to never change.

He even gave us some free samples of other things on the menu to try since it was our first time - deep fried shrimp, the house curry... and the mashed potato balls were amazing! I love the fact that they tell you where the potatoes come from too. Great food, and great service. My only complaint is that you can't sit at a table and enjoy your fish'n'chips with a pint of beer, but I guess that's just how "take away" restaurants work. We still had a fantastic experience standing and eating at the little counter by the window. You must eat here!

So there's two great chipper shops in town , Jackie Lennox's and KC's . Both are good. First I…read morewent to KC's , I was unaware of the fact that 1. A chipper is not just chips 2. "Fast-Food" is really fast. Like you need to know what you're going to order before you're in "que" (line) because they make you yell out your order while in que. Benefits of KC's: They have a cool atmosphere , prices are good, cheese and curry chips are good , due to the real cheese . I've heard the Cajun Pita and KC Burger are good. They are tech savvy , wifi, take cards and have a cam outside so you can see how long the que is before you head that way. Cons: the portion sizes are smaller than Jackies but truthfully you don't need that much food . Needs more salt. I would also like if they had little chairs outside to sit instead of just going in and coming out. Benefits of Jackie's: Better chips than KC's, good curry. I had the fish supper , I liked that the fish was fresh, the batter and tartar sauce was also good . I liked the Irish peas , they are big and have a good texture .They put the curry chips in a plastic container instead of paper like KC's so it doesn't get soggy. Prices are also good . They have places to sit and eat outside and a bar area along the wall. Cons: really no flavour except the curry. Needed more salt .not tech savvy: no wifi or card machine

The most outstanding service I have experienced in Ireland, the staff was friendly, quick, helpful, just awesome! Very well trained I must say! I seems like that they always get quite busy, so if you really want to eat here you better reserve a table. Otherwise they´ll try everything to squeeze you in.

If you are ever in the area I really recommend trying this place out!

Mother of God. So,…read moregrowing up in Knocknaheeny, the "Churchfield Chipper" as it's locally known, was a childhood institution. We'd look forward to the days mum or dad would announce they were in the mood for a fish supper, the pots and pans stayed quiet, and I was sent forth to bring home the grub. 20 years since moving to America, I brought my heavily pregnant Californian wife to my home patch. She asked what I wanted to do, and a visit to the chipper was top of the list, and there was only one place I wanted to go. Quality? The word doesn't come close. I hear people wax poetic about Lennox's. Or Dino's. Golden Fry. Or this Douglas-ified KCs with their gourmet nonsense. Eejits, the lot of them. Gobshites and langers who don't know what they speak of, I say. These are quite possibly the best chips in Cork. Therefore the best in Ireland, and by extension, the best on earth. Yep. In centuries to come, when aliens visit the planet, those in the know will get their fix from here. And it's quantity. Such quantity. Order a pie, you get two. Order a sausage, you get two. Order the fish, I dare you. I double dare you. 'cause yeah, you're getting two. Two pieces of fish big enough to go surfing on. My wife bit into it, moaned slightly, and proclaimed it the best fish and chips she ever had. "Waaah, but it's in the northside! I don't wanna go up there!" Ah, stop now and come off de stage. The soundest people, and this place has some of the best service. My wife ended up inviting our cab driver to stay with us in California, for god's sake. So stop reading this, grab the wife, throw the kids in the Focus, and head over for a feast.
