Does anyone else think Supermacs is a very bad restaurant?

    Supermacs don't have a mascot clown waiting for you to choke on your burger though, justified price hike for that peace of mind

    Do they steam the chips or what?

    Any time I've had the misfortune to partake of Supermac's, the chips have always been limp, sweaty and anemic looking - much like their patrons I suppose.

    Culinary wing of the GAA.

    I disagree wi your opinion on the chips, but that is a very appropriate slogan.

    Well. I love it. As the man himself says "You won't leave Supermacs' hungry"
    Not like McDonald's with their mangy skinny tasteless fries. And you can't even get vinegar there! FFS

    Only place to be after a night out. All the young ones on high stools so drunk theyre eating their food with one eye closed in between falling off the stool.

    Bit of drama with rocky 1 and rocky 2 standing by the door forbidding girls with no shoes from coming in.

    And then for the entertainment, a few young lads hammering each other up and down the street.

    All whilst eating your curry cheese chips that are so cold the cheese doesn't even melt.

    Christ, socializing in Ireland is ****ing depressing.

    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.
    I'm still waiting for the valet to bring my car round, it's over a half an hour since I gave him the keys. peasants.

    Only thing I've ever had in Supermacs was a muffin with ice cream over it. Was grand I suppose! Didn't know taco fries existed until a few years ago, they look absolutely rank.

    Their Taco Chips and Chicken Wraps are okay. About it for me.

    I love supermacs but I only ever eat it after a night out so maybe I'm not the best judge. Their burger sauce is divine, I always get some with my chips.

    Firstly Supermacs and its ilk are not restaurants.

    Secondly, and more importantly they are not chippers either. Supermacs serve frozen chips whilst a good chipper will serve home made thick cut chips made on the premises not skinny cut frozen rubbish.

    Why people are complaining about fast food joints serving bad food is beyond me. What do they expect?

    Also, there is no difference from one branch to another, they all serve the same formulaic pre-packed food and follow a head office procedure manual regarding preparation. That’s why a Big Mac is the same wherever you go.

    Burger King is the only one palatable of the big fast food chains for me. I'd find it hard to resist a bacon double cheeseburger when stopped at the services.

    No way, I love Supermacs. It would be my main choice of take away. Although it's mainly eaten when I'm half cut.
    Sean O'Brien is very easy on the eye too ;)

    My only problem with the Supermacs local to me is that if you go in during the day it is full of the roughest people imaginable. I've actually turned around and gone elsewhere after a quick scan of the crowd a couple of times.

    Same used to go for Abra but the scummers seem to have abandoned it recently for some reason.

    Fast food franchise, you get what you pay for, cheap food quickly that will fill you up & that's about it.

    It is what it is, a chipper, and a fairly mediocre one at that.

    Supermacs in Helston station is the worst

    They say the crappiness of the food increases the further the outlet is located from Galway.

    Always found them scummer/skanger central too.

    I feel Supermacs is more appreciated in the west than the east..it's an institution of a place!

    Nothing beats a Snack Box (or a Lunch Box if you're feeling like an awful savage.) with a portion of garlic (or burger sauce)!
