Soda, as in bread? Cod bites? We went with haddock & gravy on the side for the chips. Hubby also got a kebab to soak up the whiskey mess that was bound to happen later. I have to say, a generous delightful serving of both the fish n' the chips. Kebab was overstuffed, in a good way.

This is a another great chip shop that I believe would thrive if it was in a bigger and busier…read moreurban area in the country. Instead this stays as another local favourite and for good reason: it does delicious chips and its extensive menu is great too. They offer good value meals deals in here, and everything in here has been really tasty from my experiences. The batter on their fishes is rich and crispy, their burgers are succulent and full of flavour and everything else is equally delicious. They also do homemade Italian style ice cream in here which is really delicious, with milkshake options to act as a post main meal dessert. The staff here are courteous and polite, and the place is kept spotless which is important in shops like this. There is also ample parking out front or to the rear so there isn't the same parking worry for food that many other Downpatrick places would be suffering from!

I'd read some glowing reviews of this fish & chip shop so I kept it in mind. I don't eat this food…read morevery often now but I did eat a lot of it in my early teens, but that's a whole other story. So pulled up into the car park, two degrees outside and 'are we human or are we dancer' coming out of the radio as I turned off the engine. First duty was into a nearby supermarket for a soft white bread pan. When it's fish n chips it has to be tea, bread and lots of butter. A good sprinkling of salt on the fish n chips too. Carbs, animal fats and hardly a healthy calorie in sight. So into the chip shop to a friendly welcome from a man, certainly didn't look like Paula but it's a funny old world so I thought better than to ask. Two fish and chips please (or as we used to say: two fish suppers) £11.60 was required. I checked it was cod and he almost seemed taken aback at my question - he said, 'of course'. I waited a bit pleased that the food was being cooked to order. The portions of cod were huge, with fresh, white chunky and skinless meat. If you aren't sure how fresh cod tastes try it here as it's very fresh. I thought each chip portion was a tad mean but once home and in the plate it was generous enough. The food is cooked in beef dripping. There is no substitute good enough, groundnut, peanut, rapeseed, olive, corn oils none come close. The batter was towards thin and I like that, and to be fair the food sat in a take out bag until I got home and put out the plates and do on. Despite this the food was excellent, perfectly good food and still quite warm. A chip buttie was a must. Now I've eaten some of the finest foods on earth but I gotta tell ya the taste of a white soft pan bread chip buttie with a bit of salt and a generous slap of butter is wonderful made all the better with hot tea. The glowing reviews are right, it's a great place. The next time I want very good fish & chips I know where to go. Maybe next time I'll sit in and have it at its very best. Who knows now that oil prices have fallen the prices here should drop too.

The service here is warm and friendly, and you are always served promptly despite how busy it gets at times. The chips out of here are unbeliable.They are crisp and moreish to the ultimate, and the rest of the options here are delicious and reasonably priced. They do kebabs, southern fried chicken boxes, succulent burgers, crisp chicken goujons and lovely battered cods. Everything is just so well cooked and packed with flavour. I come here all the time and it wipes the floor with the vast majority of Belfast chip shops. They also do a delivery service on a Friday and Saturday night so you are never unable to get your delicious fix of Quinn's. One word summary? Nomnomnomnom.(That is mean to represent the sound of uninterrupted enthusiastic eating for clarity!)

Wow! What a delight!!! When in Ireland, traditional fish and chips is a must!…read more On New Years Eve, I made a spontaneous decision to choose fish and chips over my Jenny Craig lentil dish. Im sure no one can blame me. When you walk into this little restaurant, you are walking up to a counter and ordering your dinner. They have 14 varieties of chips, priced from £2.20 (small chips)up to £4.60 (taco chips with bolognese and cheese). There are four varieties of fish (i got the fresh battered haddock at £3.60) and fries and gravy for £3.40). The fish and chips were delicious. The gravy was bland (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). The serving was extremely generous. This isnt the best fish and chips I ever had, but I would put it easily in the top 3.

Great place that should deserve a lot more attention…read more A little difficult to find, and definitely need a second pair of eyes... The outside of this place was an industrial-looking building that nobody would have thought it's a fish n chips place. Parking was TIGHT! So be warned!! The moment you walked in, it gave out an old harbor diner feel (not sure if that's how you describe it)... Tile flooring, straight 90-degree wooden booths. They have both takeout and dine-in service, so we decided to enjoy the moment and sat in for our fishy. Most of the items have both regular size or what they called a "supper" size, which just means more on the chips... or fries for us North Americans. We ordered the classic Fresh Battered Fish and a Pastie (huh?) As you wait for the goodies, you could hear the sound of fish or chips being fried, that's really music to my ears! The fish was LONG! Fried to perfection with minimal batter, just the way it's supposed to be to showcase the main character- FISH! Despite ordering the regular fish n chips, the portion of the fries was perfect for us... those fries were THICK CUT and the size of my thumb!! And then, our mystery Pastie arrived. My first thought was "a flatten ball of..." FISH PASTE and potato (pure guesses on the potato part, not 100% sure). It was a very interesting fried loveliness for us... it tasted a little like those Asian fish sausages with onions. Overall, CHEAP and WORTH THE DRIVE! Both of these combined were only GBP 8 something (about CAD$13)! If you ordered the exact same thing back home, the fish n chips along already cost more than $13.
