    Fish and chip.
    Nicole F.

    Best fish and chips around. Note, portions are large so if two of you, I recommend only ordering one portion. The fish they use is very good and hearty, nice white fish. The fries are soft and thick and they don't skimp on the amount you get! Don't go anywhere else. Small place, not much seating.

    Imagine my surprise queuing in in Lennox's on a visit home and seeing the 'People Love Us On Yelp' sticker on the wall. Well it's true, and if anywhere in Cork should get this sticker, it's here. A total Cork institution, I've been going to Lennox's since I was a child - it's the stuff that dreams are made of... Deep fried dreams. Legend has it that it's the best chipper in Ireland. U2 loved it so much that they gifted a gold album to it that still hangs on the wall. St. Patrick himself ate there and said 'it was mighty'... Ok, that last one was made up. But it's a place steeped in history (and grease) often imitated but never equalled. I try a sneaky visit here every time I come home. I had to laugh at an American reviewing this place and saying it was a little rough. Ah darling, you're not their target audience, I'm afraid. In Lennox's you choose from a huge (much bigger that when I was little) menu and shout your order through to the servers, who have impossibly good memories. Then wait your turn for it to be salted and vinegared and wrapped in paper. Try not to tear into it on the way home. Best fish and chips you'll get in your life. And a visit to a proper Cork legend at that.

    A real Cork institution. There's basically two types of people in Cork: those who think Lennox's chips are the best in the world, and those who know one place that's better than Lennox's (and only one place). I definitely agree they're hard to beat. A really good example of what a proper chipper should be: friendly, clean, and filling. Obviously they serve all the other chipper food, but we just care about their chips, right?

    Lennox's.. gotta say its some pretty good chips. They give you massive portions which are wrapped in white paper. Beware of the salt that is dispensed out of a ketchup squeeze container with the tip cut off ;) A must if you are in Cork.

    A little rough for an American ... Haddock had bones and skin on. Overly thick batter, extra grease, but great chips and service.

    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.

    I've been going to this chipper for years and i have to say without a doubt it is the best chipper…read morein cork. Tasty snacks is as good as it gets. The Top food are there chips.

    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 best chipper in Cork hands down! This place is a little more imaginative than your average chip…read moreshop with a variety of pittas that include flavours from all over the world. When I worked nearby, my colleagues and I had a weekly tradition of visiting KCs for a giant takeaway! Actually, maybe this place would be better if it had seats but it's still well worth a visit.
