Supermacs!

JohnP199

The East vs. West, Dublin vs. the Rest has been done to death here on Boards. So I really dont want to get into one of those debates. What I want to discuss is Supermacs popularity (or apparent lack of) outside of the West.

In Galway a night out wouldnt be complete without a trip to Supermacs at the end of it. But in Dublin people seem to go for McDonalds. In fact generally people in Dublin (drunk or sober!) seem to choose McDonalds, Burger King over Supermacs. Madness I think but maybe thats just because I come from the Whest!!

supermacs are scabby on portions and generally look dirty,us Dublin people aren't used to eating in dirty conditions.

It's all processed crap when you think about it.

They have tiny portions and there burgers are nothing compared to burger King or McDonalds. How anyone could choose to go to supermacs is beyond me!

No love for Abrakabra :eek: ... best most disgusting food on the planet after a night out!

Tasty and tempting food at...............

i also don't like how when you order supermacs for delivery the drink comes with a straw already in the cup as opposed to sealed straw seperate.I'd rather not have my delivery driver drink my drink on the way.

Problem with Supermacs is the quality varies alot between different outlets. It's a franchised business so depends how a particular branch is being run. The one in Eyre Square is decent and the one in O'Connell St isn't bad either. But eating in Supermacs in Tuam is only to be done when so drunk that you don't care what you're eating.

Supermac's chips are way nicer than those rank, measly Burger King chips.

but none are as good as mcdonalds chips dunked into curry sauce with loads of salt.

Supermacs Chicken Breast Sandwich is quality

Turtyturd

The one on O'Connell St seems to have some kind of beacon which attracts all the cities crazy people.

How the fcuk do people eat any of that shi.te McD, BK or SM?

If you are gonna clog your arteries with grease at least go for something somewhat free of shi.te and go to an Italian chipper.

Supermacs is just farm food!

If I wanted to eat farm food I'd go to a f*cking farmers market!

Research has shown that Supermacs is the healthiest fast food chain in operation in Ireland. As for some people suggesting their outlets are a bit dirty, I wonder who dirtied them?

Culchies. Also, link some evidence to that claim.

tbh they have some yummy food, and some stuff you wouldnt usually get in a fast food restaurant like curry chees chips , but theyre quiet expensive in comparison too. id usually pick mcds or bk over supermacs if i was out in town etc.

Curry sauce isn't available in McDonalds

This begs the question, do you go to another chipper after a night out to get the curry sauce for your Maccy Ds fries?

Supermac's snackbox meal are savage, fecking love them. I'm a Dub and the one in town seems to do very good business so don't get this 'it's a culchie place'. Is it hell, I'm a Dub and know loads of Dubs who love a supermacs. Their craps are grand, the chips you get in Mc'Ds aren't even potatoes ffs:eek:

Am I the only one who hates McDonalds chips? They're disgusting, they have some nice food, but the chips are horrible.

It is - it comes in those little square containers. I prefer the sweet and sour sauce, though.

Not potatoes? What are they? Rat tumors?

Fishooks12

I love supermacs, as for the size of the portions I think you get a lot more bang for your buck than you do in MDs or BK

You can get a meal for under a 5er

a sausage meal with medium chips and drink is €2.95 FFS!

charlietheminxx

I don't really like Supermacs.... Although have only ever been to the one on O'Connell St - Even from outside it doesn't smell nice, think it's whatever oil they use. Either way.... nahhh.

I suppose you do not eat any thing that comes from a farm then , go away u dirty skank.

StephenHendry

supermacs is grand, you can a really nice quarter pounder with bacon. having said that at mc d's their chips, burgers are really tasty

RichieC

I don't like the burger meat they use or the dusty bap.

Captain Darling

The only reason you would go to Supermacs after a night out in Galway is if you want to get the head thumped off you.

Smokey bacon burger in supermacs is the nicest burger of all the fast food chains imo. Its especially good when hungover!

It's a fairly common urban legend that they are made from flower, it's complete nonsense though.

Ask yourselves, why would they not use real potatoes? why?

McDonald's world famous French Fries and our new potato Wedges are produced only from the best quality potatoes. These potatoes are cut, blanched and processed on state of the art processing lines to ensure maximum retention of nutrients. These french fries and Potato wedges are cooked at plant and our restaurants in 100 % vegetable cooking oil.

Really? So if I put them under a microscope they'll show up as being flour and not potato? Sure you want to stand by that?

Live4Ever

The only two reasons one would go to Supermacs:

1. Chicken Fillet Burger
2. Muffin & Ice Cream Dessert

That is all.

ash23

McDs for burgers
S'macs for chicken and chips and curry

I don't like the S'macs in O'Connell Street. Our local one in culchieville is quite nice though. And now they do yummy pizza

Ye shared the scraps in the bins with the rats for the best part of 100 years!!

And when the scraps ran out you ate the rats. Would you go away out of that and read a history book in the name of jaysus. Dublin was the poorest, filthiest, most slummed city in the western world from the 1850's to the 1950's.

Eating well is a novel concept for Dubs, let me tell you.
