It's a cute, casual little spot with nice staff & a variety of menu items - Not just fish & chips. But that's what we came for so that's what we got. The fish was delicious, the fries were good, & the mushy peas were ... Not my thing. But I think some people like the mush. So I won't yuck someone else's yum. They do not serve alcohol, so we just paired our meals with a Coke. I wish there was a bit more seating. There was really only enough space for one or two parties squished inside & two parties of two outside. There was also NO public restroom. We were in the middle of a road trip, so this was particularly devastating. I wish Kiely's the best! I hope they'll be successful enough to move into a larger space someday.

I didn't enjoy the ratatouille that accompanies the dish, but the fish was well worth it. The filet was also cooked perfectly and had great flavor! The chips were also yummy. Great texture outside and soft interior. Their own soup was also delicious. Great flavor and had a great onion to broth ratio.

The fish and chips were good but pretty standard. The mushy peas, though, were some of the better ones I've had on my trip. The crispy chicken torn salad was a bit of a surprise--the chicken wasn't crispy at all and seemed more like cooked chicken that had been torn up and pan-fried. Definitely different, but not what I was expecting. The restaurant was pretty packed, with people constantly coming and going. They also had tons of awards displayed outside, so clearly it's a popular spot in the area. Maybe I should have tried more dishes to figure out what all those awards are about.

I through enjoyed my meal came out hot and tasty with a squeeze of lemon juice and malt vinegar. The tartar sauce tasted really fresh and delicious as my friend normally hates tartar sauce back in Toronto but loved it here in Cork. The only thing I would say is get salt, pepper, malt vinegar and ketchup for each table or at least 3 sets, everyone had to share.... Otherwise I really enjoyed it.

Mother of God. So,…read moregrowing up in Knocknaheeny, the "Churchfield Chipper" as it's locally known, was a childhood institution. We'd look forward to the days mum or dad would announce they were in the mood for a fish supper, the pots and pans stayed quiet, and I was sent forth to bring home the grub. 20 years since moving to America, I brought my heavily pregnant Californian wife to my home patch. She asked what I wanted to do, and a visit to the chipper was top of the list, and there was only one place I wanted to go. Quality? The word doesn't come close. I hear people wax poetic about Lennox's. Or Dino's. Golden Fry. Or this Douglas-ified KCs with their gourmet nonsense. Eejits, the lot of them. Gobshites and langers who don't know what they speak of, I say. These are quite possibly the best chips in Cork. Therefore the best in Ireland, and by extension, the best on earth. Yep. In centuries to come, when aliens visit the planet, those in the know will get their fix from here. And it's quantity. Such quantity. Order a pie, you get two. Order a sausage, you get two. Order the fish, I dare you. I double dare you. 'cause yeah, you're getting two. Two pieces of fish big enough to go surfing on. My wife bit into it, moaned slightly, and proclaimed it the best fish and chips she ever had. "Waaah, but it's in the northside! I don't wanna go up there!" Ah, stop now and come off de stage. The soundest people, and this place has some of the best service. My wife ended up inviting our cab driver to stay with us in California, for god's sake. So stop reading this, grab the wife, throw the kids in the Focus, and head over for a feast.

Great selection of good, free wifi, you can chill and relax or read the complimentary papers as you wait for your friends.
