    Anyone noticed this lately?

    McDonalds do not display a menu price list.
    I waiting in Q, to make my choice, all I can see are a few meal combo's they want to promote. Theres no longer a menu on side wall or in front window.
    Is this not illegal?

    E8.00 for a meal? What is this bullsh*t?

    Irish prices are considerably dearer than those in the UK/Northern Ireland.

    We should look on this as a good thing and avoid McD’s but unfortunately the poor and unemployed have to eat somewhere and so McD’s are thriving.

    I noticed the same thing in a Supermacs. When did they stop showing menus. Just big screens with one or two meal dealzzz.
    I don't want an 18 layer multi meat Super anything. I want a simple burger. Keep your half gallon of coke while you're at it.

    Not sure about that. I got a meal (and an extra 6 nuggets cos I was starving) in a McD in Strabane around 6 weeks ago. It was almost £10 (about €11) and I remember thinking it was pricey.

    Not when it's made of cardboard and there's not all that much in them other than calories. You can go into a Carvery / Kays / Kylemore or somewhere like that and get a massive plate of meat, veg, gravy and a bottle of water for not much more.

    If you’re talking about carvery then it most certainly isn’t home cooked. The meat, vegetables and spuds all come on trays ready for heating. Pub knows the price of each meal, and the profit on each portion. A carvery is grand like, but don’t be fooling yourself that it’s particularly good value, healthy, or home cooked.

    Because they wouldn't sell so many of them if they called them sad meals.

    And with McD's, they tell you the calorie content.

    Carveries and whatnot, you are on your own.

    Bunsen cheeseburger and hand cut fries for €10.50 can't be beaten.

    Five guys is the biggest rip off I find

    Don't eat in McDonalds often but the odd time I do I just order from the Eurosaver menu. Two hamburgers and 6 nuggets for €4, can't complain!

    I sometimes get breakfast at McD's. Egg McMuffin meal (no sausage or bacon) and a flat white. 3.50 in some places 4.60 in others. No rhyme nor reason.

    They are still selling a 1€ burger. Inflation has deflated the burger.

    But mcDonald's is more expensive than so many "unemployed people" options.

    What an ignorant, horrible person you seem to be.
