    I would love to see most of these american microwave based sh!thouses closed.

    In their place we could have any variety of decent freshly made, locally owned fast food, rather than sub standard industrial gunk. And No ! ...8 euro or whatever for some fried hydrogenated fat, a microwaved gristle and bone 'burger' and a watered down, drink is not fckin good value !

    Characterless, plastic, brainless, industrialised, stomach churning p1ss holes, all of 'em. Pouring your money into these anti food sh1thouses is a bloody sin !

    More !...argghh...nooooo !

    But tbh, Ireland needs less fast food places, not more.



    ^ this.


    Maoz / Moaz (can never remember which) is great though - healthy vegetarian food to go, cheap as chips as well.

    A proper Pizza Hut wouldn't go amiss.

    I know there are those PHQ delivery things all over the place but after ordering from a few different ones I can't help but think that they're quite substandard.

    Theres a proper Pizza Hut in Liffey Valley

    I think we should be giving fast food chains back, not acquiring new ones.

    Let's start with Subway.

    Take that back subway is probably the best one of the lot to come to Ireland.

    + Never had a Taco Bell but have always wanted to try it so bring that one over.

    Never heard of this Cheesecake Factory place so done a google search on it, look good I must say, they have plans to expand but so far only to the middle east.

    The majority of Ireland (outside donegal & sligo) lacks a 4 lanterns.
    You all need introduced to the magic of a big 4 & a 4 lights dinner box.

    a million times nicer than supermacs

    Ireland needs a good Deli or two tbh.

    What passes for 'Delis' here are muck.

    In New york for example, you can go in and ask for a PROPER sandwich, last really good one I got over there was a cuban sandwich which was EXCELLENT! Here:


    Eurospars/Centras displaying delis signs here should be shut down.

    Lets head to the Deli here, eh....... They got Pierres Sausage roll's made from the pigs eye hole earhole and ass hole, jambons, 'Chicken' fillet rolls.......

    MUCK!

    Hmmm, a Royale with Cheese.....

    If memory serves there was an application in for a Hooters franchise that was meant to go in somewhere around Stephens Green a couple of years back. I remember Ray D'Arcy talking about it and wondering if they would get many Irish applicants willing to wear the uniform.

    Sadly there has been no news since, probably afraid of THIS. Plus you'd probably have some mad ugly bint suing under equal rights or something because she didn't get the job :eek:

    I would love if there was a really good American Diner like one you'd see n the program Diners, Drive-ins & Dives.

    A high quality fast food, BBQ, steaks, ribs etc with everything prepared from fresh.

    This is what i was thinking eddie rockets is a bad copy of these type of diners ,though the places on that show arn't part of a chain

    +1 on Maoz. It's relatively healthy and wholesome; not heart attack food.

    There used to be at least two Pizza Huts in Dublin up till a couple of years ago. One was in Rathmines, beside the Garda Station. Think there's a cafe there now. If you look on Google maps, the old Pizza hut sign is there.

    The other was on Suffolk Street. Again if you look on Google maps, you can see where it was.

    Back in college (2001/2002), used to meet the missus there for lunch. They did an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet for a fiver, or something ridiculously cheap like that. Fecking nyom. Not sure why they left Ireland. Best pizza around, though no doubt seriously bad for you.

    There's still a pizza hut in Blanchardstown, had the buffet there on monday. €7.99 I think it was, not too shabby at all

    It's basicly a parsley sauce. I love it, the missus would rather stick pins in her eyes than eat any of it.

    KFC replaced (IIRC) Pat Grace's famous fried chicken, which in itself was a small chain but one of the first specialising.

    Other way around, Pat Grace had the KFC franchise, and then lost it and his stores were renamed Famous Fried Chicken.

    There was a King Burger (not burger king) on Henry Street where the "new" part of clears is in the early 80s. They served bottled beer there. Burned down suspiciously in 1985 I think.

    There were a few King Burgers about town, Talbot Street (now a shop). O'Connell Street and Parnel Street.

    We used to eat at this wonderful place called Macari's back when I lived in Bejiing in the 1990's. They did a wonderful curry coleslaw chip and their battered sausages were to die for. I'd love it if they opened a few shops in Ireland.

    O Charleys, Applebees, Taco Bell and Waffle House.

    Loved popping in for a proper dinner in Waffle House at 2 in the morning after a long day of US touring.

    Potbelly Sandwich Shop. I was in Chicago in October for 3 days. I wandered into a food court in this place on Michigan Avenue looking for lunch and said I'd give them a go. I ended up eating there twice a day for 3 days. Best sandwiches I ever ate.

    AG Ferrari's as well.
