Filling Station Takeaway in Ballyshannon

Sometimes, it’s the simplest of dishes that are hard to get right… Take that age old takeaway favourite, Fish & Chips, for instance… intentions are usually good but invariably gets served as some insipid tasteless piece of is-it-or-isn’t-it-cod with a mediocre batter on top of a congealed mush of soggy chips. Sound familiar?? Enter AJ’s in Ballyshannon. The chips (…and they were PROPER chips) were plentiful and that lovely combination of fluffy centred and crispy outside, and perched on top of this potato perfection was a slab of the finest flakiest fishiest feed, swaddled lovingly in a blanket of the tastiest crispiest batter this side of Batterstown! I can’t begin to describe the joy that deep fried fish can bring, all that it was missing was being wrapped in a sheet of yesterday’s news. AJ’s are definitely doing fish the way fish should be done, light and lovely… I’m not codding! Treat yourself to a day off cooking with a takeaway the way takeaways are meant to be taken away. 15/10 for crispy coddiness!!

Great friendly people nice upstairs are to sit

Fish was very good. Chips were ok. Pizza was like cardboard and inedible.

Absolutely georgous food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Top quality service. And the quality of the food is next to none. Highly recommend.

Ok fish and chips/chicken but too over cooked

We all had burger and they were absolutely fantastic! I would especially recommend the 8oz

Great fish and chips. I like seeing the batter being applied to the fish just before it is fried.

This is such a great takeaway, the food is lovely & the staff are very nice too. They have a great variety, everything we've tried has been so nice. The food is very well priced, and portion sizes are great. The fish & chips are a favourite ours, the fish is nice & crispy. We look forward to stopping here every time we're in the area, would highly recommend.

One of the best fish and chips we have ever had. Proper serving of food in a box with cutlery, salt, vinegar, ketchup, and tissues. (Many takeaways don't bother to provide cutlery or tissues) Fish and chips are served without salt and vinegar, so you can decide yourself how much of them you want on it. Some fresh salad is really nice with it too. Will definitely come back and hope the quality will be the same!:)
