It's not much to look at, but this takeaway place is so special! If you've never had fish and chips before, this should be your introduction. There's so much history posted up on the walls, from newspaper clippings to photos of the owner and his family to a golden record gifted from U2 to Lennox himself! read more

Jackie Lennox's - fish and chips with curry from Jackie Lennox, taken for an impromptu picnic in UCC's rose garden - Fast Food Near Me - Cork, Colorado

A long time favourite of ours and very much a Cork institution. Probably a must visit if you are in Cork for the first time. read more

My last business trip took me to Cork, thru recommendations my 1st stop from the airport to my hotel was at the Lennox. I returned at least 3 times during my 2 week stay. My next time to Ireland, I will repeat for sure. The bar has been set high for me read more

They should create a new sexual orientation based on this fish!!! Great fish & chipper!!!!

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. read more

Jackie Lennox's - Fish and chip. - Fast Food Near Me - Cork, Colorado

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. read more

Jackie Lennox's - People love us on Yelp! - Fast Food Near Me - Cork, Colorado

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? read more

Jackie Lennox's - Fast Food Near Me - Cork, Colorado

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. read more

Jackie Lennox's - Curry Chips and Sausages - Fast Food Near Me - Cork, Colorado

Ask any Cork person, they'll tell you Lennox's chips are the best in Ireland, and they speak the truth! An absolute joy to the taste buds. An excellent chipper! Always been pleased here :) You can only know how good they are by trying them yourself! Yes boi! read more

Best fish and chipper place in all of Ireland. I lived across the street and went there all too much! They give out huge chip portions (the size of brick) and entire piece of cod. The chips and fish are not greasy which is a change form most chippers. They also serve chicken, mushy peas and curry. read more

I agree with the reviews that these are the best Fish N Chips in Ireland. Probably some of the best I've had ever. They rank up there with Seattle's and San Francisco's Fish N Chips, mmmm. The cod was so delicious (careful I had a few bones in mine because it's a whole filet) and the chips were to die for. If you are eating with a friend, just get one order of the chips because they will give you more than plenty. read more

I have dreams of this place. Vivid dreams of blue pin-striped aprons, signed pictures of Bono and paper bags filled with artery clogging goodness. My friends in Canada just don't understand (a) what a cheese and onion pie is, and (b) how it could ever be categorized as 'to die for'. The Garlic, Cheese and Chips can be compared to Poutine, which is helpful enough, but everything else is a little off the radar. My first time, as a foreigner who wasn't familiar with 80% of the menu items, I went for the Haddock and Chips. I didn't realize it could really feed 3 people. It was almost a whole fish, battered and fired to perfection, placed on a mountain of fries. I was in heaven. As a repeat customer, I began to extend my horizons and fell in love with the pies, curry chips and somehow even the battered mushrooms. If you're looking for a place a little off the beaten path while visiting Cork, make your way off Patrick Street and up to Lennox's. Just fast for a day or so beforehand. read more

Greasy and delectable, Lennox's serves up the finest fish and chips I've ever eaten. The air inside is thick with the rich smells of frying chips and haddock. The bastards working the friers are swimming in oil, it looks as though it accumulates on their foreheads. If you have a walk home with the bag by the time you arrive it'll be saturated in grease. All this lard makes for the most terrific fast food in Ireland and maybe the world. It seems redundant to mention, but it is an obvious hangover cure. read more

My husband and I stopped here our first night visiting Cork after reading the yelp reviews for this place. Delicious!! We both got a piece of fish and shared a large chips with curry. It was more than enough food and the paper was drench in grease. It really hit the spot. The only thing that would make this place better was if beer was served on site. This place is small and has limited seating but well worth it. read more

I realize a 3 star rating is akin to blasphemy to a good many of my friends and also my husband, but I also feel like Lennox's was over-sold to me for years. So while my experience here was certainly A-OK and I would be back, I'm not about to go into raptures just to spare the feelings of my loved ones! (Sorry, guys.) My husband has seriously been trying to get me here for years, and until now, we were thwarted on every attempt. But, last Saturday afternoon the stars aligned, and we finally made it in for a much needed greasy lunch after over-indulging at our friends' wedding the night before. This is not health food, my friends. It is good, solid, greasy chipper food...but it's also nothing really special. I had the Lennox Delux burger and curry chips, and everything was freshly made and the portion sizes were huge. The curry on the fries was what my husband referred to as a "good Irish curry", and the burger was decent, if way too full of onions for my taste. My husband had the battered sausage (I found it to be bland and just tasting of fried-ness), and the cheese and onion pie (also battered, but MUCH better than the sausage). Whether you're eating in or doing takeaway, the portions are wrapped up in paper after being liberally salted and vinegared (if that's your thing), and you get the feeling that things have been done the same way here since it opened years ago, which is cool. There were certainly many folks coming in and out to order food, and obviously this is a Cork institution. But again, I personally felt like the food was just ok, not something that blew my mind. I'm really glad I finally got to try Lennox's, and I know I'll be back again, but now I have more reasonable expectations for my next trip. Maybe then I'll up my rating - who knows? read more

Best chipper in the world. So consistent in terms of quality and food is always served fresh and hot. Have been going there for years now and have never had a disappointing experience. read more

Best chipper in Ireland. Always mesmerised by the memories that the guys have as they take orders! Real 'happy' food. read more

I remember the first time I visited Lennox's. It was in November 2010 and in the late afternoon. "it's a Cork institution, you have to go". This is what I kept hearing but as I trudged up the hill in the wind, I cursed myself for deciding I had to go that cold winter afternoon. Did I mention I was wearing heels? I arrived to an empty chipper and my first thought was people were having a laugh at my expense. Having walked so far, I decided I had to order so I got my usual: garlic chips. The photo of Bono on the wall was yet another bad sign to me but then I tried my chips. Perfection. Good god, surely I couldn't eat all of them but I made a hell of an effort. Everytime I'm in Cork I make it my business to come here as should you. read more

Have been going here for a generation. Their jumbo portions kept me alive in college. Portions are still huge and their queue management is a marvel but I feel this place has been trading on reputation for a while. Chips are greasy, burgers ok but not at previous standards. Its time to point out the elephant in the room Cork! Jackie Lennox isn't that good!! Staff are still genuine locals and I still always bring tourists there once to get that real Cork experience read more

More like two and a half stars but I rounded down because of disappointment. Had the Haddock supper meal with battered fish and mushy peas chips. I wanted to like this place more than I did but just didn't think the fish had all that much flavor (even with tartar sauce), and had a bit too much batter. The mushy peas on chips was just ok. Here's my rankings for the best "chippers" in Ireland. 1. Reel Dingle Fish (Dingle) 2. KC & Son & Sons (Cork) 3. Jackie Lennox's (Cork) 4. Leo Burdock's (Dublin) read more

It hard finding a good fish nonetheless deep fried that my wife would eat but did she love this small hidden gem. As tourist we looked out of place here but we didn't care because the food was so good. The food is served very fast and is piping hot so be carful. The loaded fries and fish took my heart away and makes me want to go back to Cork just for those two things alone. Parking is easy to find just have to be willing to walk a few blocks. read more

Did I dream it that they have deep fried mashed potatoes? I certainly TELL people that they do and that they were wonderful. It has been 22 years since I was a student at UCC I ate at Lennox's, and I still tell people about the bags of spuds piled round, the best chips anytime let alone on the walk home from the pub, and the (clouds part and angels sing) deep friend mashed potatoes (...I hope that they actually do exist...maybe don't tell me if they don't...) . read more

This is the standard against which I measure all other chippers. It's also the reason why most other chippers don't make the grade. Lennoxes is a Cork institution, its chunky chips are perfectly served and the thought of getting one is enough to put a smile on your face for the rest of the day. Go THERE! read more

Jackie Lennox's - Fast Food Near Me - Cork, Colorado

Yum, Lennox's take away have the nicest chips in Cork, love to call in and treat myself to garlic mayo and cheese chips, or the potato pies... I'm positively drooling just thinking about it! Queues move really quickly. read more

Best and only place we get fish and chips. We've been to Ireland twice now and we make sure to make this as our stop... Great fish great chips. Can't ask for much more. read more

One of my "last suppers" in Cork from all of my favourite eateries across the city & county before I moved to Oz, had to be from here. Had to. Chips, cheese & garlic, Chicken Burger (a proper old fashioned one, none of that overly chunky 'breast-in-a-bun', carry on!), and cheese & onion pie, heavy on the salt & vinegar. Unreal. 2nd best chips in Cork, after The Fry, in Ballincollig. read more

Jackie Lennoxes is to Cork what In n Out burger is to California. They're both places that don't seem like they could be *that* spectacular, but are in fact far better than you can imagine. Anna G. is right that they have the best chips in Cork and furthermore, the best chips on planet earth. There's no way to really describe it, but Lennoxes is as good as it gets and I will never, ever visit Cork again without visiting Lennoxes. The first time I went to Cork, my boyfriend (who is a native) said I couldn't go until my last day there because if I got a taste for it, I'd want to eat Lennoxes for every meal. He was absolutely right! HIGHLY recommended! read more

Wow. That's all I can say. One of my favorite places to eat in Cork. Their chips are divine!

Lennox's is great for chips and sausages. Haven't tried much else on the menu. I do feel like I need a triple bypass after eating it though ;) I prefer KC's in Douglas if I'm going for chips - bit more variety and flavor in the food. read more

AMAZING chips (best with cheese and garlic)-- this place is a must go if you live or are visiting cork. The prices are reasonable/cheap and even has a bit of history to it! They're open later in the evening/early morning as well, so it's the perfect place to go for good food after a night out. read more

as far as chippers goes this one is wonderful. Portion sizes and huge so you will always have enough to share. everything is fried within and inch of its life but it is good after a night of drink. try the curry as i think it is the best one for it. the chips are also unreal :) read more

The best Batter Burgers, Onion Rings, Cheese & Onion Pies and Curry Sauce in Christiandom.

Best chipper in the world. Nothing more to say really. The chips are fabulous. Fish is incredible. Batter burgers and sausages and mushrooms are also brilliant. The service is so fast. So professional. It deserves it's crown. read more

Definitely a must when in Cork! A true Irish chipper experience as you bark your order from the back of the line. Battered sausages, chips with garlic mayo & cheese, or drowned in vinegar (whichever your preference), or just take on your plain old fish suppers. This is the greatest chipper of all as evidenced by the line down the block on Good Friday. I still drool as I think of that deliciousness wrapped up like a baby in white paper. YUM! read more

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

Top notch traditional chipper. You have to shout your order at the person over the counter from where your standing in the queue which is a little strange, but thats a small price to pay read more

This is the fish and chips experience that you need. Order at the counter and be sure to get salt and vinegar sprinkled on before they wrap it up in paper (they don't do plates here). The take your big pile of food to a stool at the counter that wraps around the walls, there aren't any tables. Or you could eat it in your van while listening to horse racing. For 8 euro you get a piece of fish as big as your forearm, a huge pile of chips and a generous dollop of mushy peas. Its all good and you won't need to eat for the rest of the day. read more

Fantastic - Breast of chicken and chips cannot be beaten!!

Lennox's is a Cork tradition, queue up shout your order! great chunky big chips, great takeaway!

Lennox's is another classic Cork fast food joint. We call them chippers in Ireland, and Lennox's is one of the best. Chunky fat chips with just the right amount of grease... lovely. Hugely popular, but the queue is half the fun. read more
