I had not been there for a couple of years until a couple of months ago I was driving by on a friday night around tea time. Its was busy and I thought that I would just leave it, but I decided to go on in anyway for nostalgias sake. I got my a battered sausage supper and some chicken goujons for my wife. The goujons were the kind that melt and and crumble in your mouth all at once. I couldn't believe what I had been missing all those years since school!!! Its is well known as being one of east Belfast's best chip shops. On the menu is all of the usual suspects burgers, fish, chicken and chips. Its a shame I don't live closer or I would frequent much more often.

People keep recommending The Sea Fry chippy to me, so I tried it today. They do gorgeous, chunky,…read moretraditional style chips which are really tasty and not too greasy. I also had a vegetarian pastie which was amazing and very flavourful. Just the right amount of salt and vinegar on the food too and the potions are very generous. I found the prices similar to other chip shops around the area, with a pastie and large gravy chip costing around £5. As with a lot of chip shops there's not a huge vegetarian selection, however the pastie was so good I've already decided to try a pastie and salad bap on my return. Of course, there's always onion rings and I think the chips would be delicious with any sauce or topping. A perfect lazy-day dinner or hangover cure. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to The Sea Fry.

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.

Always keen to try a new chippie (they've apparently been open 6 weeks or so) and the smartly appointed sign and interior drew me in. The menu was straightforward and featured all the usual chip shop fare. After ordering I sat at one of the tables I noticed they also had a small ice cream counter and a covered terrace area out front. The food was fresh cooked and the chips were delicious as was the fish. There were a load of lunch time specials on display and the whole shop had a nice fresh atmosphere to it, particularly with the white walls and recessed lighting. As I was the only customer the woman behind the counter chatted away and she recommended for larger orders that I ring ahead as it can get busy in the evening. Definitely a new worthy addition to the world of great Belfast chip-shops, Pros: Clean, friendly, excellent fish and chips. Cons: Again not the most central of areas. No parking.

Old school to the core, this family establishment has them queued to the street every day. The man at the fryers, apparently local legend Bill, doesn't even look round to take your order, looking at you from a long mirror above him, greeting you with a simple 'What's yours?'. He says it to everyone regardless of the length of queue, but the man has the memory of an elephant, timing massive orders of chips, fish, pasties and suppers with the dexterity of a dancer. And the chips, ooooh the chips, hot and vinegary and wrapped in paper are so fine. You can even sit in if you are lucky enough to get a seat, but so long as you get your chips you are a winner.

I don't even remember everything that was on their menu, but I just know I wanted it all. I ended up getting chicken strips and chips (fries) to go. It was a short wait, a little less than 7 minutes, if my memory is correct. I waited till I got back to the hostel to devour my savory treat and all I can say is that at that moment they were probably the best chicken strips and chips I'd ever tasted. I was a happy camper and have absolutely no regrets for eating all of it. I was very happy that this little spot was open late, but clearly so were plenty of other people because it was busy busy! Drunk me thanks you for satisfying my cravings, The Chip Co. I hope you make plenty of other drunk (and sober) people very happy.

Someone recommended Smyths a while back and I decided to give them a try, first impressions, from a distance were good, seats outside and seats inside, however the outside seating was occupied by a group of those horrible feral brats that you just want to slap who weren't actually eating anything and inside was equally packed by people sitting, also not eating. Inside we joined the queue and placed our order, the Jeremy Kyle guest ahead of us had her brat with her, who was joined by one of the brats from outside, who proceeded to start beating the crap out of each other. "Jay-zee, will you fack aff?" opined the victims mother, "Will you tell him to piss off" replied Jaz-zee as he landed a good right hook to his victim's jaw. Presumably the sight of her son getting a hiding is normal to super-mum as she turned away and started sucking on a carton of sukie. The fight was joined by another kid from the seated area and it continued outside to the noise of the sukie carton getting sucked flat. I reached for my phone to video the melee and was surprised to find this had happened inside 2 minutes of getting there. After what seemed a very long wait, we got our food and like Jay-zee, "facked aff" home. Oh dear, the food was not good, admittedly they poor girls working were flat out, but seriously, I wasn't impressed, wafer thin burnt batter that just fell off, greasy chips and what seemed like a mere teaspoon of curry sauce. I'd truly like to go back some day when they were less rushed and without the trainee spide population of East Belfast being in attendance, just to see if it gets better, but as it is, I wouldn't be in a rush to recommend it myself.

I did have to wait a bit which I wasn't happy about but the staff are chatty and it is clean and you know you are on to a good thing so it is worth it. I did feel a little ill when a man came in and ordered a chicken and gravy burger - have you seriously ever heard of that? The obliging staff happily poured a ladle of gravy over his burger before slapping that bap on top! I though my eyes were deceiving me! Anyway damn tasty fodder, good thick chicken and very nice chips - you can't go wrong in here if you are down this end of town.

It has recently been crowned best Kebab shop in the UK which is something that can't go unnoticed. I hadn't been here in a little while until a recent 'secretsupperclub' event was nearby and I thought to myself I must get one soon..... so I did. Like always I would go for the original kebab on bread with salad and the special Sphinx Sauce, if you have not tried this yet you are missing out! The kebab meat is real actual steak / beef pieces which tastes great especially compared to the rubbery meat other Belfast Kebabs have to offer. I speak really highly of this place because it is awesome food, but I do feel the portion sizes have also skimped over the years I also got a chip with my order and the chips literally covered the plastic container they came in and that was it. Even the size of the kebab looks as though it has shrunk down in size. Which is why sadly this is no 5 star rating for the Sphinx. That being said, if you are in the mood for a kebab you have to hit the best in town.... Which is the Sphinx, you will not be disappointed!

I always remember that when I was at school and people were talking about takeaways that they…read morerecently had, the more stranmillis and malone based members of the year would always wax lyrical about this place, proclaiming the " sphinx chip" to be the equivalent of eating heaven. I didn't go here for many years after hearing the hype and whilst realising that their praise was a bit OTT, this is a good chip shop, though many people prefer it late night as the kebab place of choice.That is fine by me as they do a kebab that is a damn sight better than what is produced by most Belfast chip shops and eateries. The shop refit has mad the place feel more clean and spacious, and the goods on offer are all well cooked and are reasonably priced.As mentioned earlier the Sphinx sauce they put on chips is amazing, although I am frightened to think what actually goes into it.... oh well, ignorance is bliss!
