Feedback on McDonagh's. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) located in Galway (Galway)
Overview
You ever been to Galway? If you have, you’ve probably heard of McDonagh’s. It’s this quirky place at 22 Quay Street that’s practically a monument to fish and chips. The walls whisper stories, having served fresh fish for generations—four, to be exact. Now, that’s a family tradition worth noting, don’t ya think?
I swung by and was hit with the aroma of freshly fried fish. I mean, who doesn’t love that crispy coating hugging flaky cod? They prep everything on-site, right down to peeling the spuds. You can bet your boots those chips are fresh! But hey, don’t expect Michelin-star fancy, this is more of a local vibe—cozy and slightly chaotic, especially when the tourists pour in.
Speaking of crowds, be ready to share your space. It gets busy, especially during lunch and dinner, but the service? Lightning fast! I felt like I was on some kind of fast food express, boom—my meal was in front of me faster than I could say “battered cod.”
Sure, not every review sings praises. Some folks found the chips a bit underwhelming or the seasoning needing a little more love. But hey, can’t please everyone, right? For the price, the portions are decent.
You want a drink? McDonagh’s serves beer and wine too. Perfect for washing down those crispy bites. Just remember, it’s a walk-up counter to order; the food is then whisked to your table. That said, it feels casual, friendly—kind of like hanging out with mates at your favorite pub.
If you’re in Galway, make sure you don’t skip this spot! Grab your fish and chips, settle in, and take in the bustling atmosphere. And who knows, you might be sharing a bench with a new friend!
