They were out of all but 3/10 fishes, the ones no one wants. When I ordered that and it finally came, there was no ketchup cups. I couldn't put it directly on the chips because the order was wrapped up in paper. The order was also sloppily wrapped. The chips itself was alright, nothing special or spectacular; it was good for the price, but overall not a notch above anything else. The service was good, very nice lads helping us. Ambiance was cramped as there were a few people in the waiting area. Had to eat outside as there was nowhere to sit in the whole-in-the-wall establishment. Overall, other places like Fish in the Box are a better bet in Dingle, but come for the hype.

We stopped here for dinner after a long day of sight seeing. Service was pretty quick, although everything was cooked after I ordered, so it wasn't "fast food" by any means, but it was definitely fresh. Ironically...they have a sign out front that says "top 5 on trip advisor", and the cart next to them has "number 1 fish and chips in Dingle." Well. I disagree, wholeheartedly, because we tried both, and Dingle Ahoy's fish and chips were far superior! A huge portion of fish, its nice and crispy, and not greasy at all. The fish to batter ratio was excellent. Dingle Ahoy is tied for the best fish and chips we've ever eaten (after traveling around ireland and scotland for a month, plus what we eat here at home.) HIGHLY recommend checking out Dingle Ahoy!!

The chips are actually crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside which is virtually unheard of. The fish is locally sourced when available and battered and fried upon ordering. Unfortunately, there is no seating and you will be eating your food out of a paper bag but take advantage of the fact that you can chat to the owner about his shop and food. The only thing I would love to see is the use of more sustainable packaging. Boo to the plastic forks and styrofoam containers. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area.

I liked this aspect of it because we were able to eat on picnic tables outside of a beautiful Catholic Church. I only give it 4 stars rather than 5 because I found it hard to get on the Fish & Chips bandwagon while traveling Ireland. It's a hard meal to mess up but too greasy for my liking.

The front is a basic and unassuming, but neat, blue building. Inside remains simple, but quality, with light wood, soft light, and sea themed decor. As the menu changes so frequently, a dish can run out that evening, it is handwritten on a chalkboard that is brought to the table. It was very difficult to choose, the entire menu was well done. The brown bread was also the best of the trip, theirs had more seeds and the right balance of dense. Be careful to not fill up on bread as you will not want to miss any of the rest of the meal. Since the menu changes so frequently, describing what we ordered is not helpful. Both dishes were incredible, fresh, cooked perfectly, and with interesting and well matched ingredients. We ate every possible bite. We managed to save room and share a dessert, worth every calorie. I'm surprised to see any negative reviews. In my option, for the quality of the meal, the prices were completely reasonable. If you are in Dingle (which if you go to Ireland you absolutely should as the town deserves a visit), make reservations!

Based on a recommendation, we made sure to add Boatyard to our itinerary while visiting Dingle. We grabbed a late lunch, both got fish and chips, and one of us got a cocktail. The fish and chips were tasty, not the best I've ever had. The fish was well fried and flaky sided with your standard chips/fries served with ketchup and house made tartar sauce, which was honestly the best part of the dish! Service was friendly and welcoming from entry to exit. The space is cute with a large main dining room up front with lots of natural lights and large windows looking g at the bay. There is a cozier dining room inside, along with two outdoor spaces once more formal than the other. The front patio looks great, but sadly du to weather and season, it was closed. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at The Boatyard. Definitely recommend it when in Dingle!

As we waited the tables started to fill up and, while hesitant about the reviews we read, we were encouraged by the number of people arriving. We enjoyed our drinks and thankfully got our order taken before the large group of 12 beside us and 3 other tables. While the appetizer came quickly. Our main courses didn't arrive until after ALL the other tables had ordered, were served and most of the people had finished their meals! During this period we were checked on once and were assured our meals were on their way. Then ignored. When we mentioned the extraordinarily long time that we waited and was told there was nothing they could do but apologize......a complimentary dessert....a drink on the house. Nothing! Service: inattentive and uncaring Food: Calamari was tender but the lettuce on the salad was wilted on old Tortellini tasteless and barely warm Mussels overcooked and gritty but the sauce was tasty. Served with a piece of soda bread that was cold from refrigeration. Atmosphere: Nice view, with outside seating if weather permits, it is a very noisy restaurant due to the acoustics of the interior's design. A very disappointing dining experience and a very sad experience for our first night in Dingle. Not at all worth the price paid! There are plenty of seafood restaurants. Skip this one.

I had the Fish Pie: salmon, cod, smoked haddock in white wine cream sauce topped with mash(ed potatoes). It had plentiful fish and was served very hot. I liked the variety of fish. The smokiness from the haddock complemented the simpler flavors of the cod and salmon. Potato topping was slightly browned under the broiler. The fries were good. This also came with another excellent pre-dressed small green salad and good coleslaw: light on the mayonnaise, tangy, and peppery. The wife had the fish and chips and I thought it the best of at least 3 we've had in Ireland. The batter was consistently crunchy, thickness appropriate for the fish, and the portion generous. Again, served with sides of the same green salad and coleslaw, and more mushy peas. I think the wife likes these more than I do. The server was welcoming, the surroundings inviting, and we spent a relaxing 35 minutes or so and, refreshed, continued our walking tour. Sadly didn't get to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding because we had planned on ice cream down the street. Looking at the website just now I see they have rooms upstairs. One described as "Cute Apartment" and the other as "Cosy Flat". Probably worth checking out if you're considering a stay in Dingle.

We tried the Dingle single malt signature - smooth and intense. The fish pie was our consolation prize after the fish and chips were sold out. Delicate, golden topped pastry over a bed of mashed potatoes with creamy fish in what is like a pot pie, was piping hot. It was served with a side salad, cole slaw and chips. Chips were very good. We shared a beetroot salad, which was excellent with yummy garlic bread. Sticky toffee pudding was the finale. It was good, not great. The edges were a little dry and the dough was coarse, not smooth and velvety as I hoped because of others I have had in the past elsewhere. The waitress saved us the last piece since she heard us talk about it. That was extra nice! Good atmosphere and service, good drinks.
