Fodor's Expert Review John Long's

Hearty eaters adore this long-standing institution, which has served fish-and-chips for more than 100 years, and now serves wine and local beers with food. The completely basic Athol Street premises, close to the city center, welcomes garbage collectors, business execs, schoolboys from the nearby Royal Belfast Academical Institution, and patrons from every sector, who flock here for the secret-batter-recipe fish. They also offer gluten-free fish suppers such as lemon haddock, or fish goujons; you'll also find hamburgers and cheese or chicken burgers. It's the best value in town.
