How To Lose Business 101 1) Don't acknowledge people waiting to order 2) Be rude, and don't say excuse me to pass my girlfriend, just expect her to have eyes at the back of her head 3) Openly talk s*** about customers due to their order size, being visibly angry Professionalism lads, do you know of it??? read more

A friend who went to Trinity said the place had the best fish and chips in Dublin, and the service was incredible and the fish was very good (for fried cod), but the fries were disappointing. I didn't try any of the sauces (which might have made a difference), but it was over 13 euros for a single order so I really didn't feel like making it 16 euros for a massive fast food meal (granted, in a super touristy area). read more

I enjoy good fish and chips. In Dublin, we passed this place at around dinner time and stopped in. I ordered fish and chips for us both. Cod is the preferred animal and, it must be said, the Irish know a thing or three about potatoes. We sat Down to wait for the fare to be cooked. We were the only people in the shop, so we didn't think we would need to wait long. Wrong again! The food got to the table before we did. That's right it is pre-cooked. Pre-cooked chips are always pretty shitty. Pre-cooked fish in batter is usually both shitty and greasy. This place claims to have the best fish and chips in the world. Bullshit! They really were awful. We thought it couldn't have been worse. Wrong, yet again. My wife wanted some tartare sauce. I was given one of these se tiny little plastic pods with tartare sauce...and was charged two pounds. So, not only do these people misrepresent their product, they are also opportunists. If you want fish and chips in Dublin, there are many places to go, but Burdocks is not one of them. read more

I love a good fish and chips so tried this place that specializes in it. This is really a fast food fish and chips place where you order at a counter and then either take home or sit Inside and they bring the food in a cardboard box to you. They give you a big piece of fish and lots of chips. The quality was pretty good, but overall it was a little too greasy for my tastes. The price was 11.95. You can't get a beer here to go with your meal--I only saw soft drinks. read more

Leo Burdock - Fish and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Dublin, D

For a place that was recommended by a native this place wasn't good at all. Breading on fish wasn't cooked through which made it really greasy. Chips were the worst. Soggy as hell and greasy. read more

Not a bad stop for fish and chips. At about 11 Euro, my portion was massive! Both the fish and chips were fried perfectly, although I wasn't expecting the smoky flavor from the fish. I found the counter staff to be very friendly and they brought my food out to me within 5 minutes. I agree with other reviewers that the place could definitely use a scrub. While I didn't think it was filthy, it could certainly stand to be cleaner. If you don't want this location, there are other (cleaner) locations a short walk away. read more

Leo Burdock - Fish & Chips Near Me - Dublin, D

In September 2018 I went to a big company party at the Old Storehouse, which caused the Old Storehouse to be too crowded, so a colleague and I asked the bartender for a nearby fish & chips recommendations. Turns out that next door is this Leo Burdock's and he recommended it as one of his favorite fish & chips places. I left with a colleague and went there and the staff were extremely friendly and recommended we try the fish & chips that's made with smoked cod that is subsequently fried. If someone had asked me before this experience if I liked fish & chips, I would have said "not really" (my English colleague was the one craving fish & chips that night). After my experience with the smoked/fried cod at Leo Burdock's in Temple Bar, my new answer is "absolutely, if it's great fish & chips!" The fish & chips there were really amazing - the fact that they smoked it first gave it an incredible flavor, especially when combined with the fresh frying and the malty vinegar that was present on the table. Halfway through the meal I could tell I was pretty full, but it was so good and so fresh I said "the hell with it, I'm finishing this!" The next night I had dinner somewhere else and almost went back for a second dinner at this Leo Burdock's but thankfully showed a smidgeon of discipline. I'm resolved to have this meal at least once on any subsequent visit to Dublin! PS - I know the one on Christchurch is supposed to be better, but I had a fantastic experience at this one -AND- you can bring drinks over from The Old Storehouse! read more

Our cheeky cabbie told us of his great fish victories, growing up around the corner from the original Burdock's. He was an absolute trip, first person we met in Dublin, and worth a listen when recommending fish and chips. This was a hell of a basket of holy cow that's a big slab of fish! The malt vinegar and curry and mayos were all perfect accoutrements for the flaky fried fish and crispy creamy chips. Bummer that there's no liquor license, cuz a pint would've tipped this point, but the sodas washed it all down, just fine. This ain't a sit-and-relax, glass of wine kinda experience, here. In the States, this would be called "the Fish Stop," and you could by cigarettes there, too. This was the ideal first Dublin dining choice. Thanks, crazy cab dude! Keep it safe. read more

Good just not crazy good.. it was quick and fresh out first meal off the plane. We wanted to have a traditional chip lunch.. worth going I guess .. €12.00 seemed like a lot for for we got but ehh it's tourist part of town. read more

Serviceable but not as great as I was expecting. Our cabbie steered us here as the "Best Chip Shop" in Temple Bar. That probably is accurate as it may be the only real "Chip Shop" in Temple Bar so the criteria to be #1 in that category is not very stiff. I think the one problem I have with the Temple Bar area is that it is so overrun with tourists that it is difficult to know what is there to specifically cater to them and what is not. This is one of those places that serves up an Irish staple of fish and chips but I'm guessing that not a lot of discriminating Irish actually come here to partake. Don't get me wrong, the setting is good (green facade on a cobblestone street in the middle of a number of pubs that I'm sure make it a late night haven for drunken folks with a shortage of grease), the staff are friendly and have such great Irish brogue accents that you can overlook the food just for the conversation, and the food is not bad, especially if you are disinhibited from nipping the whiskey in the area. But the food was not great and certainly far from perfect which is what I was expecting form somewhere that gets labelled as "the Best". While the fish is freshly fried, I found parts of mine were undercooked so that I had some mouthfeel of raw batter at times. I prefer my fish to be fairly crispy so that it stands up to the vinegar wash so this had some bites that were off-putting. Again, if my foodie shield is down from imbibing, who the hell cares if it is sashimi and chips but if you are really looking for outstanding fish and chips, I've actually had better in several other places such as the pubs and the hotel restaurants in the area. It is worth grabbing a bite here if you are in the area and find yourself stumbling upon it but I would not make any special trips here to sample the goods. read more

Leo Burdock - The perfect lunch - Fish & Chips Near Me - Dublin, D

SMH...I tried to ignore the bad reviews and be positive due to 3 of 4 sites had it's Christ Church location at #1. Pros: Large portion of fish. Came to table piping hot..blistered the roof of my mouth. Friendly staff. Cons: As other reviews, fries were limp and cool. Batter was .......ok. Had to add vinegar to give it more flavor. Hopefully the primary location is better but will not come back to this location. I've had better fish and chips at Captain D's and Long John Silver. read more

Since my Temple Bar experience with Burdock's was somewhat lackluster, I went pretty far out of my way to visit the Christchurch location the following day. I was surprised to see several pre-cooked fillets under a heat lamp. None of it was made fresh to order. Since I went far to get there, I ordered anyway. We took our meal down to St. Patrick's church and sat in the park to eat. It was ok... It just wasn't fresh, and it showed. I experienced the joy of fish & chips when I lived in London for a short time. It never saw a heat lamp... there were no heat lamps. I was 4 £ for a newspaper cone stuffed with fish and fries with all the vinegar and salt you wanted. Three stars is generous for pre-cooked fish... and I regret the 2 hours of the day I killed to acquire it. read more

I love Leo Burdock Fish & Chips and I do think it's one of the best spots to pick up these traditional eats. However, this location in particular is not as appealing as the others. It's in Temple Bar, on an alley, and off the beaten path a bit which is cool. And, there's a dining area so that's a plus. But it could use a bit of deep cleaning. And as for the service, I had to interupt a conversation between the staff and a 'passerby' just so I could place my order which was a bit odd. As for the eats, well, as usual they don't disappoint. One order of fish and chips is enough for two peeps to share! And, boy are they tasty! I really love the smoked fish and chips! If you can get past the less than appealing dining space, then eat in, or just take them to go. But, if you stay, check out the old photographs / celebrity hall of fame as you head up to the restrooms. They are worth checking out and there are lots of familiar faces! I give this spot 3.5 stars! And, if they give the establishment a good scrubbing, I'll raise it up a star :) Regardless, the fish and chips are consistently tasty! Keep the malt vinegar flowing! read more

Friendly service. Fish and chips were ok...fish wasn't as fresh as I would have liked. It was the only fish and chips place we tried in Dublin and worth a try if you need to get your fix in. read more

Leo Burdock - Fish & chips with curry sauce - Fish & Chips Near Me - Dublin, D

Confused by the low ratings here. Leo Burdock may not be the BEST fish and chips I've ever had - spots in the UK definitely get that nod - but in Ireland, these were pretty dang good. I asked several locals and Irish friends where the place to get fish and chips was in Dublin, as that was something that surely needed to be checked off my bucket list. Leo Burdock was the consensus, so here I went. Ordering is easy, and the food comes out fairly quickly. It is hot, of course the chips are delicious, and the fish is great without tasting overly fishy. The garlic sauce is wonderful - get more than one cup. You'll want it. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting an authentic Dublin fish and chips experience. We came at an off time, I can imagine ordering and finding a place to sit during a meal rush could be a bit chaotic, but we had no trouble on our visit. read more

Pass. Fast food atmosphere with soggy chips and decent fish. The batter on the cod was nice but that isn't enough to make it worthwhile. I have had much better fish n chips in the States by far. Once again, way too pricey for what it is. read more

Can I grab a table?, (plenty free tables), I'm starvin'!, You have to order here first PAL!, I'm not you're FUCKING PAL! SUPERMAC'S, same food/attitude, half the price! read more

One of the best fish and chips restaurants in Dublin - perfectly fried and never too greasy; the portions are large compared to other restaurants in the area. Known for being the best fish and chips restaurant in the city, it definitely lives up to the title. read more

My friend told me this was THE place to go for fish and chips. At least, that's what she heard. I'm not sure where she heard this from or why, because it seemed like pretty standard fast food fare in the fish and chips market. Not horrible, by any means, but not anything I'd say is a must-see in Dublin. This is also the first time I really had to salt my food. And I mean, SALT. MY. FOOD. Just saying. read more

This is a wonderful place! The staff are lovely and happy to help! The owner and his wife are very friendly and make you feel right at home. The fish and chips are delicious especially with the Garlic sauce! The portion is very large so if you can eat this is your place. I will be back! Cheers from California! read more

Went late Saturday night. They advertise as "fresh", but as soon as I ordered, he pulled a soggy cooked fish out of the warmer and put it on a box of cold fries. The food might be great just out of the fryer, but mine was inedible. I had two bites and left the rest. I won't be back. read more

I popped into this fish and chips shop in Temple Bar boasting "best fish and chips" Complete disappointment. Fish was good size but bland and really oily. Chips were soggy and also very oily. My plate was just a sea of oil. When asking for ketchup and tartar was given a weird look and then reluctantly handed two squeeze packets. I didn't even bother with lemon. Malt on tables was old and flavorless. For a fish and chip shop couldn't they at least make their own tartar? Very disappointing. €11.75 for fish & chips including a soda read more

This is THE place for fish and chips in Dublin, or so we were told. And like the Irish say, it's grand. It's not going to blow you away, but there's a decent amount of options and they seem to do what they do very well. I have had the fresh cod and the lemon sole, and I preferred the latter. Wife always gets the fish bites, she loves the extra crisp from having smaller bits. It's a hole in the wall kinda place, but if you want to sit down the Temple Bar location has quite a few tables. I guess the one thing that disappointed me was the whole atmosphere. When I was told it was the oldest fish and chips place in Dublin I imaged something old - a bit like the old part of the Gravedigger's next to Dublin Cemetery. But it's actually just a new-ish place with early 90's decor, kinda geared towards being touristy. That said, the Hall of Fame with every celebrity that ate there is pretty cool! read more

The food was less than average and the owner was less less less than great. We're from the United States and my husband asked him if they have haggis and the man got really pissed at him. Terrible impression of the owner, I mean he was nicer but his initial animosity was unnecessary. read more

Excellent no bullshit fish and chips. Large portions and decent value for money. Plus: the owner is not a Justin Bieber fan.

The food was brought to us very quickly and the taste was fair. The guys serving the food were not too helpful in offering sauces or any condiments. 3 Euro water bottles which I feel is over priced for a fast food fish and chips. Would not go here again. read more

Dropped in kind of late last Thursday night just to get a quick bite. Loud gangster rap with tons of cussing on their radio seemed a little inappropriate. Ordered the main fish n chips plate. Sauce was not included. I asked for ketchup but the guy told me it was 1.50 Euros for two little packets. Ended up buying the garlic sauce for a couple Euros. The smoked fish flavor was ok but the fish didn't seem very fresh. I couldn't even finish the meal. Way too greasy. Worst meal of a 10 day trip in Ireland. For Americans going here, it's the equivalent of an overpriced Long John Silvers. read more

Fresh, lightly breaded fish and chips that goes great with the vinegar. A tasty filling, late night snack.

It's Fish & Chips people! That's all they do, and they do it right. Super crispy and delicious, no gross frozen fish fingers here. 10 euros gets you a great portion, a huge filet or some smaller bites. Yes the tartar sauce is in packets, but that's just the kind of place it is, it's still good. The staff are very friendly and there's seating in the back. I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else if I were craving fish & chips! Convenient location in Temple Bar makes it perfect for bringing anyone visiting the city, it's definitely part of the Dublin experience. read more

Just like the previous reviewer, I too am slightly confused by the low ratings here. Oh no wait I'm not!, one reviewer seemed to give one star because he had to order at the counter in a chip shop before taking his seat! and then got mightily insulted when someone called him "Pal"! It's Dublin mate, it's an expression. Just like when I say "Mate", again an expression! And unlike he says the food is not the same in Supermacs!, if you are looking for an authentic fish and chips, Supermacs doesn't even come into the debate. Listen, if you ask someone in Dublin city centre for a recommendation for fish and chips 9 times out of 10 they are going to direct you to a Burdocks outlet. Here you will enjoy a very decent meal of your choosing. Will it be the best fish and chips you've ever had, well you can debate that over your meal! It's not the best I've had either in Ireland or elsewhere but it's very decent and Burdock's is a famous Dublin establishment. As for this particular location, it's not my favourite. I personally prefer the one in Christchurch where you can take your food away and eat it in the open air, in the pleasant surroundings of Christchurch or St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Burdock's in Temple bar however does offer you the option of a seating area which is a plus. As for the cleanliness, for a chip shop in Temple Bar it was perfectly fine. I know other reviewers have complained about this, so I don't know, maybe things have improved since. But when I walked in every table with people not seated at had been cleared and wiped clean. While I was there, as soon as people left, tables were cleared and cleaned instantly. If only other establishments were as quick at doing this. There was also a good general standard of cleanliness in the dining area and bathrooms. The staff here were very friendly, witty and chatty, and hey this type of "banter" may not be everyone's cup of tea, but that's what you get in a traditional Dublin fish n' chip shop! read more

Went here for fish & Chips after hearing that the brand was the number 1 place in Dublin for Fish & Chips. Fish was soggy and the fries worse. They tasted like greasy potato paste. Portion was large. I should have thought twice when I noticed I was the only one in the restaurant, in an area where just about every other place was packed. Maybe the other location is better, but this one I would never come back to. read more

Recommend by tour guide as best in Dublin. Not true! Had the cod fish and chips 11.95 Euros. The fish was mostly batter (at least 50 percent by weight) and the batter was dripping with oil. Ok the oil was fresh, no smell or any taste. I love fried Cod and all I can say is that it was tasteless. I did not enjoy the Fried Cod at all. Now for the fried potatoes, it was also soaked in oil and it was limped. Not very good. Next time I will try the original store. It has to be better than the Temple Bar tourist location. They charge extra for everything, ketchup (4 small packages for 1 euro), small coke (2 Euros). Only vinegar and salt on table are included. That's what I get going to a Tourist spot for lunch. read more

Great fish and chips shop. I don't love how they leave the skin on, but that's a personal thing. The plate is big enough to share. As with everything else here, sauce is extra. Garlic just tastes like ranch. Skippable. read more

Rude little French guy behind the counter making fun of us and being really bad at his job. Food was greasy and over priced. The guy really ruined the meal. read more

This restaurant has an unfairly low rating currently. The service was quick and everything was tasty. I can highly recommend the garlic sauce for the extra 1.75. There are bathrooms upstairs also. You won't typically find that in a Fish & Chips place, especially in such a tourist-trap bar area. read more

Really good. Pretty cheap and really big portions. Go for the vid and chips and have plenty of salt and vinegar Right in the heart of temple bar read more

Can you use less than 1 Star? No idea how this chain is so well reviewed. Save yourselves money. The food quality is terrible. The batter is awful and the fish itself is anything from fresh. You could get better quality from McDonald's. Spend a few euro more and go enjoy a high quality fish and chips at the Bank. And honesty, probably any other place is Dublin that takes even a little bit of pride in what they serve. Will never go again and will be sure to warn others. read more

Solid fish and chips! Small place- but def worth a visit. Try the smoked fish and chips for something unique- also their curry sauce rocks! Great with the chips. All of this- and only 10 euros! read more

Life changing fish and chips. Coming from New York we asked around for the best fish and chips and this was the spot that most people mentioned. Ambience is nothing special. They had plan fish or smoked fish. We tried one of each and the smoked fish was the hands down winner. Both were incredibly flavorful but the smoked fish was delectable beyond belief. Travelled around Ireland after and sampled other fish and chips, but alas, they all paled in comparison. This place is truly the place to go. read more

For a restaurant that presumably serves the same thing over and over, and given that we were one of two groups of people inside, the food took quite a bit longer than we expected. The fish was quite good and generously sized. I wish I had asked for tartar sauce instead of curry sauce, but it was very good nonetheless. The chips were not fantastic, with a harder inside and a thinner outer fried layer than I like. If you're into that kind of chip, though, try the place: it's actually a fairly good deal. read more
