Stopped by Dino's during a day trip to Kinsale! My friend and I were very hungry and very eager to try the fish and chips from here per the recommendation of our tour guide. There was a small line that we waited in but it gave us to be sure with what we were ordering. Naturally, we opted for some good ole fish and chips. We noticed some benches down the block so we took our food there to eat and people watch. Everything was very delicious! My friend and I were quite hungry so we quickly ate everything on our plate. The fish was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Between the salt, vinegar, and tartar sauce it hit the spot. The chips were hot and went perfectly with the meal. Overall, I had an efficient but yummy experience at Dino's. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite. read more

We ate lunch here while in kinsale. It was recommended to us as the best fish and chips in Ireland. Maybe that's true. I don't know. The batter was sweet on the fish and there was a mound of chips. So, maybe? read more

Arrived in town later than expected and when we drove by it seemed busy and was within walking distance of our hotel so we decided to try it. We were not disappointed...my husband had the fish and chips. He enjoyed them and liked the how the crust was cooked. I had the chicken sandwich which was excellent. We had the prawns as an appetizer and they were also quite tasty! Wish we would've had room for dessert as they had quite the selection! The service was very good and restaurant had a good vibe! read more

Fish: 5 stars. Fresh, perfectly cooked, with crispy, slightly salty batter. Chips: 1 star. Cardboardy consistency that made me suspect they were cooked yesterday and then reheated before serving. Atmosphere: Depends on whether you enjoy hearing a playlist consisting mostly of old-timey Dean Martin songs. ("Dino's" - get it?) read more

The portion of so called "fresh fish" came fresh out of the freezer and looked stiff as a board. Hardly fresh. Service was quick and efficient. No atmosphere at the take away. read more

We stopped in for some fish and chips when on a tour in Cork, Ireland. It was very busy, so we did have a bit of a wait. The fish and chips were good, and I ordered onion rings for my side (They were very good, but technically, I guess I didn't have fish and chips, but fish and rings). My daughter ordered the bacon burger with "world famous" Irish beef. It was good, but it did have a little different flavor than what I am used to. The restaurant had a nautical decor which was fun and added to the experience. read more

Holy crap. This is the gold standard for fish & chips. Seriously. Our tour guide recommended this as the go to place for fish & chips on our stop to Kinsale and it didn't disappoint. For 26£ we got 2 orders of fish & chips and a couple cokes. We ordered up at the counter (initially wanted to sit inside but there were a LOT of tour buses in town that day and it would've been a wait), and they cooked the order. Was it greasy as hell? YES. But usually super greasy makes me sick to my stomach and this didn't. The huge piece of fish was like over a foot long and the breading reminded me of Pioneer Chicken. Yum yum yum! read more

After a long day of hiking for part of our group and visiting the Blarney Castle for the other, we were hungry! Surprisingly, we were able to be seated at Dinos for a party of 15 rather quickly; we were split amongst two tables - but that definitely did not bother us! Service was quick and attentive, always getting more water or wine when needed. I opted for the steak sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten a whole vat of the dipping sauce. The side salad was also surprisingly delicious - whatever dressing was on it was certainly refreshing and memorable. Most of our party opted for the fish and chips, and said it was some of the best we had on our trip! read more

Worst fish and chips I've ever had. Heavy and greasy. I ordered the plaice which came with skin on which is disgusting. Didn't say it was skin-on in the menu. I ate some of my husband's F and C and it was terrible. read more

Lovely fish n chips and the seafood chowder was delicious!!! Fish n chips were battered perfectly (not too much, just enough) and then chowder had HUGE chunks of salmon. Not too fishy, just right .

After a very long afternoon of walking around Kinsale we decided to end our day at Dinos. They have both a take away counter for quicker to-go orders and a more formal sit down restaurant next door. We decided on the dine-in option inside their very nice looking restaurant. My partner ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the grilled cajun salmon. Our food came quick and it was so very delicious, just the thing we needed after our long day. The salmon was fresh and seasoned to perfection. My order also came with both a salad and chips and while the salad and dressing were not my favorite, the chips paired nicely and were so perfectly thick and crispy. My partner loved his fish and chips so much and said it was the best fish and chips he's ever had! I was too focused on my own delicious meal to try any of his but he gave it extremely high praise and loved the chips just as I did. Not only was the food excellent, it was also very cost friendly (more than some of the other restaurants we looked at in Kinsale before landing on Dinos). Overall it was a great experience and the perfect way to end our day in Kinsale. read more

Food 5 Ambience 5 Service TWO, there's a woman that's waiting tables tonight that's really great! Luckily she was our waiter for the most part. Here's my big complaint about the service: I've been in Ireland almost 3 weeks, the guy that took our order would not allow us to order drinks while we looked at the menu!?! What? And then he just walked over and said you want fish and chips, he didn't even mention that they had different types of fish for the fish and chips! He was very rude, pushy, and impatient, it definitely affected the atmosphere for our meal. Luckily the view and the food were so great that we tried to forget about him, if I had to have him wait on me again I would never eat there again! read more

Waitress Julianna was passive aggressive and rude from the beginning, and they didn't have more than half the fish that was on the menu. Menu said "ask for the specials" to which they responded with "everything is special". Menu also specifies that groups of 4 and under can split the bill, but when we asked they said no. (There were 3 of us, and we all ordered the EXACT same thing and there was no price difference between us) They also didn't give us our water and we had to flag them down and ask again. Overpriced as well for the lackluster service and simplicity of the food. I'd understand if the quality was noticeably different, but the fish is deep fried so any "difference" there would be is masked. Don't go here, just go to ANY other place if you're looking for fish and chips, or "semi local caught fish". read more

We were starving in Kinsale and went into a fish and chips place called Dinos. The owner Dino was a very small Irish man who was amazed at my physical size. He treated us to the highest levels of Irish diplomacy. He spoke to his daughter in Galic and we received a piece of fish the size of Moby Dick!! I may have had better but I don't remember when read more

**** for the massive portions and perfectly crisp chips. One order of fish and chips can easily feed two. *** for the lukewarm reception. Gave us funny looks, staff didn't seem welcoming towards us until we greeted first. read more

Dinos - Menu - Seafood Near Me - Kinsale, Colorado

We heard great things about Dino's and were advised it was the place to go by multiple sources. We were not so impressed. We ate lunch at 2pm and they were already out of a lot of choices on the menu. No pan fried fish of any kind. Limited fish selections for the fish and chips. The fish stew was heavy on cream and seemed to feature leftover less than fresh fish. The brown bread was good; and that saved an otherwise quite ordinary soup. The fish and chips were served cold and soggy. We view fish and chips and fish stew as test dishes. These were ok, but nothing to recommend. We've had better all over Ireland. read more

Hands down the best fish & chips in Ireland. We visited Kinsale, Galway, Dublin and small towns in between. We tried fish & chips at every stop and Dinos is tops. The portion is huge- easily could have split one order between the two of us. We ordered at the small quick service take out next to the restaurant. The gal at the counter was friendly and very diligent about preparing each serving. Highly recommend Dinos if ever in Kinsale. read more

We wanted to check out Kinsale and found this place through Yelp. We didn't have a reservation for dinner, but were seated right away. It was fairly busy when we were there, but we had very good service. We started with the brie and seafood chowder appetizers. Both were delicious. For my main dish, I went with the waiter's recommendation and got the the lemon sole. It came with fries and a salad. I really enjoyed it. It was light and refreshing with a strong lemon flavor. I'm not a big fan of steak cut fries, but theirs were pretty good. They were very crispy. For dessert we got the banofee pie which was amazing. I also tried some of the fish and chips, Cajun salmon, and fish cakes that the rest of my family ordered. All of them were very good. I highly recommend coming here if you are in Kinsale! read more

We went to Kinsale for a day trip, as the weather was nice, & we wanted to go for a walk. After a while, we were hungry, so we decided to go to Dino's for something to eat & it did not disappoint. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to get a table by the window, which was really nice. My husband ordered the seafood chowder for starter and Hake for main course. I ordered prawns for starter & Cod for main. Everything tasted delicious & the fish was very tasty. The service was great & the staff are very friendly. Looking forward to going back & trying out something different read more

We're from America so we're not experts on fish and chips but I've eaten enough to know that this was really REALLY good fish and chips. The fries/chips were perfect, and the fish was splendid and nicely battered and so crisp. The service was good but not great. The servers seem inexperienced. They were fine but nothing to write home about. I would give the food 4 stars and the service three stars. read more

Shrinkflation at work here! They have halved the size of their chip containers to such a degree that a large chips wouldn't feed a mouse. Total rip off! Have been a loyal customer for years but will go elsewhere. Needless to say they won't care. read more

On our tour of the area, our guide brought us to Dino's for lunch. A large, very comfortable seating area, we had an opportunity to scan a rather full menu. We made our selections of the fish cakes and the haddock fish & chips. Dino's was a great choice while on our tour of the area, and, the view is worth the time to linger awhile. read more

Dinos - Dino's - Kinsale Lunch with a view. - Seafood Near Me - Kinsale, Colorado

We ate at Dino's while in Kinsale because we read the rave reviews for the fish and chips. They were delicious and I would order again. It was the seafood chowder that was the star of the night. The broth was flavorful, the chunks of fish were huge and we are every single drop of the chowder. Let me add, I am not a fan of fish chowder but I would eat that chowder every day of the week. read more

Had dinner recently and we ordered a fish and chips to split and each a serving of seafood chowder. Thumbs down on the fish and chips and also on the chowder. sorry. Fish was over battered and there wasn't nearly as much whitefish under the batter as I've had at other places. The chowder was more soupy and the bowls we had didn't have that much "stuff" in it, more small broken up pieces of seafood and it just didn't have a great taste. Place was busy so I guess there is something there for other folks and the view from the dining room over the bay is fantastic, so there's that. read more

Dinos Family Restaurant is a great sit down alternative to their limited menu takeaway nearby. It was late Monday evening and we decided to stop here. This Dinos menu is diverse and has besides Fish 'n Chips, chicken and burgers (called Prime Beef) as well. We ordered the Chips and a burger for €10.95 each. Both were good, but their Cod was the better of the two. For dessert, we shared the Apple pie and ice cream for €5.50, coffee (€2.20) and tea (€2.50). Our server Katie was pleasant and our bill came to a fair €33.90 before gratuities. We used our new chip card to pay and chose Euros over dollars, which I would recommend. Enjoy. read more

BEST DEAL IN TOWN!!! This is for the full service "Restaurant" side of Dinos, not the "Take Away", which is a spectacular deal by the way. 11euro fish n chips ranks in the Top 3 fish n chips I had eaten during my 9 day trip. Maybe even the best I had in Ireland! Generous portions of tasty, crispy fish, chips, and salad. They'll let you do half salad and half chips..us weak Californians need fresh vegetables regularly! We also saw one of the tour bus operators eating here alone...so you know its legit! If you're broke, get the take away fish n chips for only 7.40euro! read more

We LOVE Dino's chicken! It is by far superior to any other chipper or KFC! We used to eat there once or twice a week. Unfortunately, in the past 3 years, we've eaten there all of four times. None of them are open for lunch anymore! As we work evenings and they aren't open late either, we just never get there anymore. It's a crying shame, as we love the food and would love to support it. But only having a 5 hour window to eat in with us working those hours means it never happens anymore. we miss it! We'd give it 5 stars, but have deducted two because of the opening hours, or rather lack of opening hours. read more

Wow! Popped in for lunch while visiting Kinsale for the day and my mom and I were blown away by how fresh and crispy the fish and chips were! Perfectly cooked the fish practically melted in your mouth. The cod burger was excellent and the side salad that accompanied it had so much flavor I almost asked for another order of it! The decor is fantastic and service is too! I'd come back in a heartbeat if I was in the area. read more

yummy food and quick staff. was able to seat 13 of us on a friday night which was great.

Only had an hour here in Kinsale and I think it was well spent with amazing fish & chips and a lovely bowl of clam chowder! Light flaky batter covered the fresh co, chips perfectly salted made for a nice break from the regular tourist fare. Plus the clam chowder was creamy & delicious with a side of brown bread. It filled us up nicely. A definite stop here in Kinsale. read more

When the tour guide recommends several restaurants, the tourist information center does and a local business owner as well and the common denominator is Dino's for traditional fish n chips - well, ya just gotta go! If you get there at just the right time, you may even be lucky enough to snag one of the few harbor view tables. We did and it was at just the right time. Within five minutes of us being seated, the entire restaurant filled to capacity with locals and tourists alike. The fish n chips are huge - plenty enough for most I would wager, but for the heartier appetite Dino's offers the Dino's special which is a larger slab of fish, a pile more chips and a side of mushy peas. The fish is flaky and fresh. So fresh in fact it is shipped in from Cork each day. I could go on about the light breezy batter and the fact it's cooked to perfection but instead, one word best sums it up - Yum! The chips are meaty and flavorful. Take all the local's referrals and just enjoy! read more

Second Best fish and chips we ever had and that's against a lot of tough competition. Very family friendly, they quickly found us a table for four adults with space for the two babies in a double buggy. No problem feeding the babies with our pre-prepared food and boiling water to heat bottles. We all had the Dino's Special, chips, haddock or cod, mushy peas and onion rings. The portions were large, you need to be hungry going into Dino's to do it any justice. Very reasonably priced, it cost a total of €80 for the four meals and three large beers and a pot of tea. It's an experience in Kinsale not to be missed. read more
