    Nice food but don't be in a hurry as the summer tea time queues can be over 30 minutes so plan ahead.

    Bit of a mixed experience of Mr Chip, first up the basics. Mr Chip (very formal) is on Main Street…read morein Portrush so is obviously very centrally located and this means that it tends to be busy. The Takeaway is small so if there is a queue you'll more than likely have to wait outside. After a long walk on Whiterocks Beach we fancied a wee chip to share so we popped in here hoping to grab one really quickly. Unfortunately the small bag of chips that cost £2.30 and it took about 15 minutes from placing the order to receiving the chips. This is way too long in my opinion. There's loads of choice on the menu but I dread to think how long you'd have to wait for anything more complicated. It must be said that the chips are well worth the wait, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. They didn't even need salt and vinegar! The taste and quality of the chips are definitely Mr Chips one saving grace!

    I wasn't hungry but my partner and son came in here for lunch on our trip to Portrush. Craig went…read morefor the house burger but they didn't have it available so instead he chose the sausage supper to share with our son. The chips weren't chippy chips at all. They were fries like you'd get from McDonald's- surprising from a place that calls themselves 'Mr. Chips'.... they were really gross and the majority of it went into Mr Bin. Aside from this clean shop and stunning views but we won't be back for that!

    After a little tour and whiskey tasting at Bushmills Distillery, we walked through the town around…read more3pm looking for our first taste of real Fish and Chips. We were sad to see so many vacant buildings and like many of the other tourists, actually went up to several pub doors just to walk away realizing it'd gone out of business some time ago. We walked past a few "take-away" only places and at first dismissed it, but then upon not finding any other options, settled on The Hip Chip. We ordered two Cod and one Chip. Everything was cooked to order right in front of us and took about 15 minutes. The service was very friendly. When we received our fish we suddenly realized we got quite an amazing deal for our money; each of us got about 1lb of fish in addition to a good helping of chips. The fish was enormous and very good. The batter was flaky and seasoned well, much more than the standard salted seasoning. The fish tasted very fresh and wasn't overpowered by the batter, although it did start feeling a bit heavy after about 1/3 of the fish, but that's also because it was extremely filling. Definitely set the bar high for our first European fish and chips experience!

    Came in from a driving tour of the giants causeway. Everyone was very hungry…read more Ordered a fish & chips supper and a side of fish. Not sure what we got but it was a lot of fish, and an abundance of fries. We've been in Scotland and Ireland for about 8 days or so, and have eaten fish and chips about 6 times. This had to be our least favorite. Batter / crust too thick, flavor of coating was that if a deep fryer seeming to need a refresh of oil. The service was decent, however all of our entrees were delivered to another table who ordered well after us, with one of the people hand delivering our food across the aisle to us. TWICE! Minimal tartar sauce provided, after asking for it... could've gotten more I suspect, but wonder who would've received it (humor intended). Place was empty when we arrived very quiet, either a lingering grease smoke in the room. Way too warm inside, with little to no ventilation. Stuffy is a good description. Last note.... The two orders rang up at over $38 / £29. Too expensive for a small town joint, with not the best flavor. IMO. I took no photos, not worth it.
