Superfry (formerly called Jasper's, until a number of years ago) is a long established chippy which…read moreI have frequented numerous times. I'm one for taking little fads/obsessions with certain foods from time to time, and the Chicken Goujon and Chips meal with garlic mayo was certainly a huge favourite from the Superfry. I have fond memories of me and my friends going for a run, and then going to the Superfry for one of these no so healthy options! They have various meal deals, which they change from time to time, and they offer a good range of choices, including good deals for children (or those of us who don't want such a bigportion!) They are one of my favourite chippies in the town, they have been in business for years, you can see everything in the food prep area, so you know high standards are being maintained (They also have food hygiene certificates for their staff on the walls), and their prices are very competitive.

Disappointed with our food!!! Chips have obviously been recooked but over cooked!…read more If I had a car I wud have definitely brought them back to complain, Seems to be all about the turn over, as quick as they can recook the food and get the costume out the door! It's becoming hit or miss whether your gonna get a decent chip or not!! All the pounds add up at the end of the day and in this day in age you would expect staff to get it right!!!! It's a shame as years ago this chippy always got a good name! A week ago when I last bought chips in here they where absolutely gorgeous and cooked freshly! but this time around has definitely been a massive No No! Please don't let standards slip! All my family where very disappointed with their chippy treat tonight for tea!!! Toast it is then!

Always ask the locals... I stayed in Carrickfergus about a month recently with my sister helping…read moreout with her new baby. Throughout my stay, many locals asked me if I'd been to Ownies yet. Just working on a schedule with a wee one, we hadn't made it there. So for my last dinner in town, my sister asked where did I want to go. Ownies, of course! I needed to see what the fuss was about! We went on a Wednesday night and they were able to seat us without a booking. The service was very friendly and helpful, especially with the baby who seemed particularly charmed by our server. We started with the assorted breads and spreads. They arrived still warm and soft and everything you want from bread. The olive tapanade was also delicious. Then I ordered what I'd been craving the entire trip... seafood chowder. It was a crock steaming full of salmon, cod, mussels, shrimp and potatoes. FULL of it. The base was a warm, creamy, indulgent soup that blended everything together perfectly. It's the kind of food that you almost want to eat in silence to fully let your senses enjoy the experience. My sister also raved about her cajun salmon and my brother-in-law devoured his half rack of ribs. I did not share my chowder. Sadly, I had not a bit of room left to order dessert. I can understand how this place is a local favorite. It will be on my must visit list on every return. I can't wait!

A lovely old pub in a sweet beach town just down the street from Carrickfergus Castle. The staff is…read morewonderful and if you get a chance, stay the night at Walter's Place next door. The inside of Ownies is beautiful dark wood, tapestries and local artwork. There is also an upstairs and a back patio for dining. The food is amazingly big and very well priced. I can't say enough about the seafood chowder! Thick, creamy and loaded with seafood and bits of potatoes. Best I've ever had. Highly recommend Ownies but it can get busy in the weekends when the tourists roll in.

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.
