I feel obliged to offer my opinion on this place, as a keen consumer of the ole fish and chips…read morecombo. There's only a few chip shops in Motherwell which, naturally, I have reviewed. Chiefly Onesti's and The Rex. Time to complete the epic saga. Marcantonio's or 'Marr-keys' rests beside Wok Express near Motherwell Library on Hamilton Road, in shouting distance of a few pubs which gets them alot of business. They thrive on the squad of schoolies from Dalziel High School down the road though at lunch time. I dare anyone to try get served in here at lunchtime. The food is great, and not as expensive as other chip shops, with a constant wee production line waiting for you in the hot plate. Sometimes the chips aren't piping hot, but that's about all I have to say as a negative point. They also do a half a fish supper type contraption which is becoming more and more common which I won't argue with one bit. The ice cream, as has been mentioned, is also excellent. There's also something slightly nice about the wee box they give you your food in with Marcantonio's on it, as if they take a wee bit more pride in their business than other places. No reason why they shouldn't either.

They…read moresell everything you would expect and it is cheaper than others that seem to have raised the price year on year. There isn't much else to say about the place that hasn't been said already, the only thing being that they seem to have fresher chips than the others. NIce and crispy.

STILL AWESOME! Ok, I…read moredon't think I've ever had anything out of here in a sober state. It seems that this is my goto drunken venture whenever I'm downtown/merchant city. These guys serve quite possibly the best chips and cheese in the city (a must for the drunken type person). Add this to a wise crack smile from the dudes behind the counter whenever they have to deal with some dafty wandering in. Splendid and just the hit required!

The food isn't particularly special. Bog standard, chips, kebabs and burgers. I suppose, if you want some sloppy grease on your way home then you'll get it here.

The staff was very nice and accommodated us by making the BBQ pizza....It was a first for him. We ordered a hamburger, BBQ chicken pizza, friend mushrooms, lamb and cheese french fries. The pizza was very good with delicious crust. The French fries were cooked to order so they were hot and fresh. Everything else we would have needed more drinks to enjoy.

Grrrr is the word of the day, so it was with sheer joy that i spotted this old faithful and huff/puffed my way in for a pizza to drown mt sorrows. 5 mins later later I'm heading home with a hot steaming meat feast in my hand (easy now people) and a happier head. Arrive home. Wolf into pizza and all is right with the world. Thank you BBQ Kings. You do what you do well. Nowt fancy, but good. Oh so good!

Needless to say, on a Wednesday night after a few drams (and on a school night, for shame!) I was confronted with a never ending parade of closed eateries. But as always, this wee place didn't let me down. I got myself a magnificent pizza, loaded with toppings and their particularly garlicky pizza sauce, and set to toddle in the direction of a taxi with my hoard. Definitely a good place to go for the late night / early morning muncher. I've never been disappointed with the food yet. ^^

I think they're a good price and tasty! I love milk-based cocktails and it's great they have the white russian, and their girl scout cookie cocktail. Both yummy! I also ordered a portion of curly fries which came in a nice big portion which I tried to share but ate most of. I've had their burgers and full breakfast in the past which I really enjoyed. I have a small complaint which didn't actually affect me but my friend where if they did not have a specific cocktail ingredient they either missed it out, or substituted without asking. This led to some unexpected and some rather unenjoyable cocktails. Luckily this was raised with staff and replacement cocktails given. The café next door which I believe share the same kitchen is also great for filled rolls and hot food for lunch. It's always super busy during lunch time though as there is a high school, university and construction workers all wanting food.

A couple of years ago me and my pals used to make trips to a Nando's outlet in the sticks. At the…read moretime the chain was a fairly well kept secret in Scotland, so we felt an immense level of self satisfaction as we picked at the bones. Having exploded in number since then, Nando's is now popular and seems to be a current "in" thing to the extent that tedious people are leaving comments such as "NANDO'S! YUUUUMMMEEE!" on networking sites, between the comments about how much they love their iPhone and/or X Factor. Anyway, despite now being ubiqutous, Nando's is still fantastic, even if it does sometimes feel like a fast food joint with restaurant prices. It feels a bit scabby to go up to the counter to pay rather than have table service, but when you see your chicken carcass blackening away in the open plan kitchen, before arriving drenched in the hottest sauce they've got, you won't care. It's phenomenal, and a side of paprika fries won't do any harm either. Not a venue for a romantic date, but as a place to gorge it's unbeatable.

I knows it's Burns day tonight but our tummys at work were rumbling for some Nando's chicken. So…read morethe haggis, neeps and tatties were aff the menu today for me. I have mixed feelings over this Nando's. I remember when it arrived years ago and was the first Nandos in Glasgow. I had been first introduced to Nando's years before when I was down in London and we were told we just had to try and I really enjoyed it. I used to go here quite a lot with my former work friends for a girly night after work. As we usually went in the evening we always found we were in the minority of caucasian folks and I always wondered why. We found out that this Nando's caters for Muslims so therefore the meat is Halal. Ahhh, all explained! It was always very very busy too but we could always get a seat no problem. As of late I have been going with work folks for lunch, with a less busy, noisy atmosphere. If you haven't been before, you are seated with a menu, check the number of your table and then head up the tills, a bit like a posh McDonalds. Give them your number then order what dish you would like. The restaurant is chicken based but does have beef and veggie dishes on there too. I tend to order a single ckicken breast fillet either in a pitta or wrap with extra cheese and pineapple. I unfortunately cannae handle the heat of the spice so tend to stay with the lemon and herb or mango and lime. You can also have 1 or 2 sides like chips, coleslaw, spicy rice or corn on the cob etc. I do also love to get a cheeky wee order of grilled halloumi cheese. Yuuuuuuum! I have found that they don't always have it when I go in, so I get very excited if they have it, as it's super delicious. Since I have been going back to this branch I have always found something wrong, maybe I'm nitpicking but there's never any forks and you have to wait to get some, staff are a bit slow, in the sense we had to wait a while to get a seat on my last visit, there was loads of staff behind the counter but none of the shop floor. I think they do quite a lot of take away orders at lunch time. Not sure how it works but they were getting a few phone calls while I was up ordering my meal. Och, also the ice machine was broken. Meh! I do like the ickle crushed up ice. Apart from the niggles I do like Nando's. I also have a Nando's Card which is only available in Scotland. You collect your chillies online, through your registered card and then you can get free food. It's a bit better than the loyalty stamp card they used to have as you could only redeem for a 1/2 or full chicken, now you can redeem for appeteasers, wraps, pittas and burgers and also the 1/2 and full chicken. It's the same Nando's decor but I do like it. If you've not been I would advise you go and try. It's much much better than a KFC and not too expensive. Can't wait to start redeeming my chillies to get my free food.

There's also a small restaurant at the back if you want to come in for a meal. The fried food is ok, but nothing great. There are better chip shops not too far away.
