Does anyone else think Supermacs is a very bad restaurant?

reddevils10

they have bad service, poor staff, ****e food, do you agree

Ruu

top quality nosh!

tomwaterford

It's not a restaurant it's a bloody chipper

Pedro K

Yes. The food is ****. But in all fairness, what do you expect from a ****ty fast food franchise?

whatismyname

Oh, how I miss supermacs.

LightsStillOn

Your first mistake was putting Supermacs and restaurant in the same sentence!

osarusan

Sat there for an hour and nobody came to take my order.

smurgen

Disgusting.possibly the worst chips in Ireland.

Id eat one now if you're buying.

Lovely spot and local success story too.

Best taco fries that can be got and the smokey bacon burger is delicious particularly when hungover, nicest takeaway burger there is.

In terms of Michelin Stars, I don't think it'll get any.
In terms of fast food, it's Michelin star class!! I love it!!

Mmmm curry cheese chips, an aul smokey bacon burger and a large coke anyone??

No can do in my country unfortunately...

I never had a problem with the staff. Though I worked there for a summer in first year college, some of the managers were absolute a-holes but not to the customers.
There's nothing like a cheeseburger at 3 am.

kneemos

It's a poor imitation of a shoite restaurant.

even mcdonalds, kfc, and burger king are better, these american franchises are something else

It's a fast food place.

They are all pretty much the same thing.

I'd sell me granny for some garlic cheese chips right now can't be got over here. You'd miss them!

Flint Fredstone

Had my first Supermacs a few months ago. Boy was I disappointed. Possibly the blandest chips I've ever gotten out of a chipper.

readyletsgo

Why are the buns of the burgers always cold? Always! Makes the actual burger cold. Also, just a very cold bland chipper, as a building.

But their garlic cheese chips is alright.

I have eaten in a lot of bottom rung dodgey food joints in my time but have to say the food in SM's is the most tasteless sh*te I've ever had the misfortune to eat.

I feel sorry for all those who eat there regularly and proclaim the food is lovely as they clearly have no experience of what good food tastes like and must live very sheltered lives.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

There are good supermacs and there are bad supermacs. When you get a good one...the taco chip is second to none.

whats your chipper de jour?


Cant believe people get snobby over chippers! lolz

chicken gone down hill on what it was a few years back

Class shpot for a row on a Friday night haigh!!

Tiddlypeeps

It's probably one of the fast food chains that varies most depending on where you go. The one in Portlaoise is great, Carlow is ok, any I've had in Dublin are awful ****e.

riffmongous

Cant beat a salad burger and garlic cheese chips for a spot of fast food, I'd never go into any of the american ones when I'm back in Ireland

Just can't get the top quality minimum wage staff these days.

It's a grand spot but their tacos are a travesty vs the Abra version

Chicken sandwich tho great stuff

Its a Fast food joint, not a restaurant, pay for what you get

KERSPLAT!

I should ban you right now. Flipping perma ban!!!

Supermacs is the business! I was in there last Saturday after a skinful of pints and JD. Pretty sure it tasted good!

mansize

Actually I remember (cos I had the receipt) after the Marriage Ref last year, left Pantibar and convinced friend I was staying with to try Supermacs! I ordered a Mighty Mac with dressed fries apparently. I think he got a bottle of water!

January

Supermacs opened up beside us last month. Smokey bacon burger and curry cheese chips is my new vice... It's a good thing there's a Chopped Healthy Food outlet in the same place otherwise I'd be totally in the ****ter, my conscious doesn't let me order Supermacs too much if I can see a healthier alternative nearby!

Better than McDonalds or Burger King but that's not saying much.

I got a 5oz burger today cos Sean O'Brien told me to.

Is this a 'for real' thread, or just a new user trying to get his/her post count up?

The place is a disgrace. I walked in today, nobody took my coat, nobody showed me to my seat, and when I asked for a wine list she looked at me like I'd two bloody heads.

Supermacs is a weird one. It's not particularly good at anything...but I love it. I don't know why. The drive through one at Spawell...thanks be to Jesus for it, it's magic every couple of months.

Two branches local to me will bring your order down to your table.

Culchie Supermacs ftw :pac:

freshpopcorn

The staff in my local Supermacs are friendly and helpful. The service is good. Once they left a chicken wrap out of our order and they said they'd deliver it to us or we could get it next time.
The food is good enough in my opinion. I do find if I have a Supermacs I'd be fuller compared to the other chains.

I got a breakfast in there one morning when I used live in Dublin years ago....and it was one of the grim most experienced of my life

If I could choose one of the chains, Supermacs would be my pick. I tend to avoid the chains though.

Don't have chipper food too often but I would always go for Italian chippers as a preference when I do.

They're all massively calorific and unhealthy but at least Italian chippers do the proper, lightly greasy chipper chips.
