    We had take-out on our visit, but this was a clean, bright restaurant we would have been happy to…read moresit in for. The staff were friendly and happy. The cod and chips were excellent. Bits were put in with the fish without asking for them, which was appreciated. Food was cooked to order. The chips with curry was excellent. It had a little bit of spice, but not a very strong curry flavour. However, it was still very good. Almost more like chips with gravy that had a very slight curry flavour to it. The only negative was that we had a long wait for the food. It was worth it for the hot fresh food, though.

    I visited this little gem recently and had the best meal in a chippy I have ever had…read more I have been here a few times before but never had anything other than the standard fish and chips (which were delicious) but this time I thought I would be a bit more adventurous and try the fish of the day - which just happened to be 1/2 a lobster with garlic chips and marie rose sauce.....all I can say is WOW this knocked my socks off! To be able to get this type of fresh produce from a chippy is just amazing, you cannot ask for better - infact it was so fresh that we saw more fresh fish being brought in as we were being served. My boyfriend had the scampi and chips and although this didn't look like much on the plate, it was gorgeous and he also said its the best chippy he has ever had - high praise there believe me lol The staff are friendly and helpful, the seating area is small (there are only 5 tables) but if you are lucky enough to get a seat by the window you can appreciate the scenary while tucking into your chips :) I cannot recommend this place enough!

    I'd read some glowing reviews of this fish & chip shop so I kept it in mind. I don't eat this food…read morevery often now but I did eat a lot of it in my early teens, but that's a whole other story. So pulled up into the car park, two degrees outside and 'are we human or are we dancer' coming out of the radio as I turned off the engine. First duty was into a nearby supermarket for a soft white bread pan. When it's fish n chips it has to be tea, bread and lots of butter. A good sprinkling of salt on the fish n chips too. Carbs, animal fats and hardly a healthy calorie in sight. So into the chip shop to a friendly welcome from a man, certainly didn't look like Paula but it's a funny old world so I thought better than to ask. Two fish and chips please (or as we used to say: two fish suppers) £11.60 was required. I checked it was cod and he almost seemed taken aback at my question - he said, 'of course'. I waited a bit pleased that the food was being cooked to order. The portions of cod were huge, with fresh, white chunky and skinless meat. If you aren't sure how fresh cod tastes try it here as it's very fresh. I thought each chip portion was a tad mean but once home and in the plate it was generous enough. The food is cooked in beef dripping. There is no substitute good enough, groundnut, peanut, rapeseed, olive, corn oils none come close. The batter was towards thin and I like that, and to be fair the food sat in a take out bag until I got home and put out the plates and do on. Despite this the food was excellent, perfectly good food and still quite warm. A chip buttie was a must. Now I've eaten some of the finest foods on earth but I gotta tell ya the taste of a white soft pan bread chip buttie with a bit of salt and a generous slap of butter is wonderful made all the better with hot tea. The glowing reviews are right, it's a great place. The next time I want very good fish & chips I know where to go. Maybe next time I'll sit in and have it at its very best. Who knows now that oil prices have fallen the prices here should drop too.

    There are 3 things that make The Crescent the best chip shop I know…read more (1) Chicken fillet burgers (2) Curry cheesy chips (3) Battered Mars Bars To explain in more detail, for say roughly the past 5 years I've often visited both this branch (Monkstown) and their other in Kings Crescent. Used to be on a Friday night my friends and I would get the vodka in, go to the video store and rent a movie, then head to The Crescent for a good old dirty chippy. Ah those were the days! Their chicken burgers are nearly the size of my head, no joke! They're scrummy! You really can't get a better burger anywhere else. The chicken is unbelievable juicy, completely tender and battered to perfection. They also make the nicest curry cheesy chips (I'm sure some of you reading this will be thinking, curry? and cheese? What? But really, don't knock it until you've tried it. Then you can thank me, you're welcome in advance by the way!) And so we move on to the battered Mars Bars. Now, I know this is a controversial subject, a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, but personally, I'm a lover (of Mars Bars, definitely not Marmite) and I dread to think that some of you poor souls won't even have heard of the greatness that is the battered Mars Bar. If this is the case, go to the Crescent right now and get one. It's one of those, you must try these before you die. You will not regret it!

    Giving the Crescent a 5 for it's good food. Best in town for sure. Unfortunately the miserable…read morestaff in there would not even rate 1star. They are not welcoming at all. They never smile and make you feel as though you're putting them out in some way by even coming in there. Very off putting.

    After a lot of exercise it's always good to ground yourself by having a big heavy chippy, you…read morewouldn't want to get too fit would you? That's exactly what I did this afternoon. I decided to try Geogia's on Holywood High Street as there's always a queue and I've always wondered if it was actually worth waiting for. First thing I am going to say is the staff are great, there were 3 working when I went in and they seemed to be running a tight ship, each person had their job and they were performing their jobs to perfection. I asked if they took debit card but unfortunately they didn't. The chap working said I could place my order and go to the ATM further up the road and by the time I got back my food would be ready. He wasn't wrong because I came back to the shop just in time to answer the all important question, 'Do you want salt and vinegar?' The food itself was good, although not mind blowing. There's plenty of competition in this area for fish and chips so Georgia's always had a lot to live up to. I got a 'Cod Supper' - I got loads of chips (too many) but the fish portion wasn't huge although it was fried to perfection. The meal was enjoyable and I will definitely be back although I might try something different from their large menu.

    I visited Georgia's chippy with my friend the other day and the food was AMAZING and at such a good…read morevalue. I ordered the Cowboy supper( chips, sausages and beans) and my friend ordered a burger (made specially by Georgia herself) and we enjoyed every bite. The service was also excellent, everyone was friendly and did their jobs well. I think its safe to say this will not be the last time i will be visiting Georgia's chippy.
