Mike’s Take Away

Ehh I mean, you get what you expect… some cheap, shitty late night food… but the cashiers are pretty rude. Not that that is different from the norm in Ireland, but being from America, I’ve never appreciated our great service more!

Food/​Cost: (3.5) My traveling companion came here for a late snack at 10:30pm after our prior, early dinner. We got one order of the Fish n Chips (7.40 euros) to share. After ordering, we watched as the staff pulled out the fish from the freezer to deep fry; the fries came directly out of the plastic bag and was dropped into the deep fryer as well. The result was some good fries, and decent fish. Interestingly, the fish and chips here tasted exactly like the Fish n Chips I got for a much higher price at Mac’s, which is a classier looking restaurant nearby — perhaps they use the same frozen brand… If you are looking for some cheap[er] fried foods or other unhealthy eats, this is your place!
Ambiance: (2) Mike’s Take Away is a tiny joint, with a tiny counter that runs along its right wall with about 4 stools for seating. The interior is a bit on the dingy/​dirty side and there is no semblance of décor.
Location: (5) Location right off of and leading to the main street in Killarney, Mike’s is located in the midst of shops, hotels, pubs, and more pubs. An easy walk from anything.
Service: (3) The staff were courteous enough to wait patiently while my friend and I hesitated over our order choices and began cooking our order right after we ordered it (it helped that we were the only ones ordering at that time).
Overall: (3) I imagine this place does very well with all the pubs around — revelers will be craving some savory bites after a hard night of drinking. Not only do they have Fish n Chips, I saw burgers, croquettes, and more on their menu.
