They’re definitely among the more underrated fast food menu items.

But fans of the humble onion ring have been sharing their tips on the most delicious servings in Cork and the suggestions have us planning a chipper dinner.

In a Reddit thread dedicated to this important topic, KC & Son & Sons in Douglas came out tops for their ‘massive’ portions.

“I thought they’d given me a bag of chips.” said one delighted customer. “Portion size was humongous. And they were unreal. Cost was €3.90.”

Murphy’s in Blackpool were lauded for their crunchy onion rings served with delicious chips, with mentions for Looney’s Chipper in Montenotte, Dino’s on Evergreen Road and Hungry Hippo on Courthouse Street (pictured above) too.

In Ballintemple, The Southern Star’s €4 portion of onion rings were rated ‘top quality’ by one discerning diner. There’s a selection of tasty dipping sauces you can add to those for an extra €1. Catch of Day on the Bandon Road were applauded for their huge portion sizes.

If you find yourself down west in need of an onion ring, The Chunky Chip in Clonakilty is the spot to visit, while the pick in north Cork is Hartigans in Charleville.
