I are here on a visit to Dublin area from Cincinnati, OH. What a great fish restaurant. We both had…read morethe fish and chips and they were brilliant! The batter was light, the fish was fresh, the chips were perfect! The beer from a local craft brewery was spot on. The service was speedy. No complaints about anything. If you are in the Dun Laoghaire area, don't miss this casual, tasty "fish shack".

Unfortunately, I can't give a review for the food at this establishment because we were turned away…read moreat the door. We arrived around 45 minutes before their posted closing time. We were staying at the Haddington House Hotel, just an eight minute walk from the restaurant, and when we arrived, we waited at the front to be seated as a sign at the door requested. A young man indicated that he'd be back in just a moment to seat us, or so we thought. . However, when he returned he said "Oh, I'm so sorry but we're not seating anyone else for dinner, but you can take away food." Needless to say, we declined that offer. Why would we wait for them to cook food for us to take away, when we could also be seated in the restaurant and eat that same food? That made no sense. The restaurant was full but there was an empty table for two at the front, and another party was paying their bill and preparing to leave. We had seen from reviews that the place is popular and gets good reviews, but didn't expect we'd be told we couldn't be seated, . After regrouping, we decided to take our business to Bubba's Fish. Market in Dalkey,. Just three stops away on the Dart. Their Google listing indicated that their kitchen closes at 9 pm. By the time we got going, it was already a little after 8 pm, but we hopped on the train and got there by 8:25. Instead of being turned away, we were greeted at the door by the hostess and told we could sit wherever we'd like. Such a different reception, and we had a fabulous meal. Our experience at The Fish Shack was inexplicable and disappointing to say the least, but God turned it around for good because we had a wonderful experience, at a welcoming place at Bubba's! Who knows if we'll ever make it back to Ireland again, but if we do, we'll never go back to the Fish Shack again.

I was only out in DL for a sunny walk but got a lovely smell of chips as I passed their stall on…read morethe pier so I got into the queue and got the classic fish and chip. Pricey enough at €8.50 but the price was worth it. You get two battered fish pieces and a helping of chips, all tucked into a paper recyclable tray. The chips were good, had a unique taste to them can't figure it out but was nice. The fish pieces well they just melted in your mouth. It really is their speciality. on display is a few live crabs which I presume are on the menu for anyone who wants to try, maybe next time I might :) Only downside is it's a take away only (of course since it's located on a trailer on the pier) and with that if its cold or rainy you'll be queuing up and eating in the bad weather. Still if you are out walking it's going to be good enough weather It can also get very busy as there is a lot of walkers around that area And parking is limited in the area but you may find a space in front of the nearby yacht club.

I love the smell of salty sea air, gets the appetite going. We went to Miami. I have no idea why it's called Miami and it's been there donkey's years. I guess back in the day it was rather exotic to call a place Miami. It's about as Miami as I am black. But the chips were good! Proper home-made chips. Staffed by Italian Irish so you know it's gonna be good. The interior is an old-school diner. I got the Miami King burger, my friend got the quarter pounder. My King looked like a servant next to hers... Odd and equally offensive, I wanted to be the King for a moment. The burger was decent but the chips were good! Simple comfort food. They do not take cards!!!!!

The Miami has been around for years, like Bobby Robson, and it's had a bit of a checkered past,…read morelike Bobby Robson. Formally one of the finest chippers in Dublin, the Miami went down hill for a few years at the start of the noughties. Thankfully, the rot was stopped and she's now returned to her best. Personally though, I think €2.50 is a bit steep for a bag of chips. And I prefer mine a bit thicker cut anyway. But I suppose that's the premium they have to charge for being on the mainstreet. There is one other thing they have in common with Bobby Robson, the madness. There's a sign on the back wall telling us that the Miamis poultry is supplied by a company called Pidgeon Ltd. I asked yer man about it but he was as confused as I was.

There is absolutely no sense of customer service or accommodation. I can't count how many times we've gone here 15 minutes before closing to get one last pint and they were closing early. Can't count how many times customer service has been utterly useless. The food is decent, I won't say overpriced because when there is a view it's pretty, and in life you pay for pretty views. but they didn't exactly lower the prices when there was no longer a view. And so it's overpriced. Stop failing at life. You guys have a prime location next to the train stop by one of the greatest towns forming on the planet. You have an opportunity here, show up.
