Child Item

Establishments that have gone to sh*t

Creative83

I was in Abrakebabra yesterday in Swords, haven't been to an Abrakebabra in years.... holy crap... their Taco Fries used to be the stuff of legend.... but what I got were miserable oil infested thick chips and the taco sauce was terrible... :mad:

Some of the Eddie Rockets franchises have gone to sh*t also.... yup, some have gone full self service! You don't get a waiter or waitress... nope you have to collect the food yourself and it's all with disposable plastic plates. Also, they cut their menu in halve... no more Clonakilty pudding burgers :mad::mad::mad:

Yeah abrakebabra’s can be hit and miss as I guess it depends on the people running the place. Three different people/companies have started up an Abrakebabra in letterkenny at different stages but all three closed within a year. The food was **** and people went elsewhere.

KFC in The Square is a cesspit.
Overflowing bins, disgusting floors, filthy tables, it's horrendous.

Tesco since they introduced those mother effin blue wheeled basket things, wtf was wrong with either choosing a normal basket for a few items or then going to the smaller trolley if you wanted slightly more. I feel like a bellend going around with them when only getting a loaf of bread and milk.

The Hell Fire Club.

In the 1700s, that place was wild.

I love those! Even a small number of items can be quite heavy but trollies are a bit cumbersome for just a few things and you can’t really go to the self-service with a trolley.

A place that gets praised here a lot on boards is M&S and I find it's nothing special anymore.

McDonald's rotten, bugger king rotten, supermacs absolutely worst fast food ate recently was just oil dripping gunk and chips tasted gone real bad, KFC rotten, even as mentioned previous with the new rockets where you go collect like mc D's or burger king it was absolutely rotten.

What is going on with food places a lot are gone so bad its unreal.

One place I would love something from right now is burdocks..... Yum

M&S is like Marmite. Either you love it or you hate it. The customer service in the Clonmel branch are appalling, but the food is still much better then any other supermarket.

Actually we were in the M&S there a few years ago and they turned off the lights in the fitting rooms about 15 minutes early leaving somebody in the dark.
We got clothes for somebody in M&S after the praise I read on here for them and they went shabby very fast and weren't worth the money.
Regarding the grocery department I find it's okay if your into ready meals but I wouldn't be fussed about their cakes/biscuits/chocolates/etc. It used be a lot better in my opinion.

Was in a McDonalds today in Kilkenny. The food is as it always was. You know what you’re getting. But I was mightily impressed by the place.

Touch screen ordering, they delivered the order to your table. A soft play area for the kids and about 8-10 tablets for the older kids. It was absolutely fantastic. I’m not a massive fan of the food but it was hands down the most customer friendly place I’ve ever been in.

Coppers. Damn kids these days don't appreciate the simpler things in life.

Most iconic food brands. They've probably hired lots of food scientists, marketers and accountants, but there's no genuine quality left.

Lyons tea, Denny's, Tayto, Guinness, Heinz, HB Ice cream, Cadburys, your local chipper.

Say what you want about 'hipsters' and 'artisanal producers', but at least there's still a movement that produces high quality food that costs more. You are what you eat and all that.

Abrakebabra and KFC have always been sh1te to be fair.

You really think these have gone down hill?

Chinese take-aways. All of them. There's little to no difference now between any I've been in in the last 5 years. They're all selling the same gloopy schlock.

Now I'll be honest haven't eaten mc D's since 2001 but had burger king about 3 years ago and wasn't right after it and to be honest it wasn't worth the crazy money I paid either.

Couple weeks ago had supermacs in carrick on Shannon and by bejaysus it was rotten oily crap and smelt bad among the taste been one of the worst chips ever had and I do love chips.

True about Chinese food but it defo can be hit and miss.

Times you would get and it would be massive and the next could make you never want to eat again as chicken would be like rubber.
