Make A Fast Food Restaurant List You Wish Ireland Had

Jonathan1990 · 19-03-2021 11:21pm #1

I found America have made this list showing 24 different ones they wish were there.
https://www.thedailymeal.com/travel/24-fast-food-restaurants-we-wish-were-us-slideshow/slide-18

Then YouTube's got a top 10 which has 4 top 10 videos but I'll only put the original top 10 video link down.

Now try making one for Ireland.

Can we do the opposite? List the ones that can f.r.o.?
5 guys
Nandos
Kfc
MacDonalds
Starmucks

No loss if they all ceased to exist at midnight

Anyone that can do decent ribs tbh! Most are fatty and you've to struggle to get the meat off the bone. Ended up eating 2 full racks at the Nascar restaurant in Universal Studios in Florida. Bones slid out, no fat. Amazing. You'd think with the excellent quality meat we have here, someone would be able to do nice ribs...

We have Supermacs.

That said, some of those Japanese ramen chains should set up shop over here. More Korean fried chicken as well.

Lewis_Benson · 20-03-2021 12:18am

We've enough of them.
I say this as someone who likes fast food.

planet hollywood....when I was a kid, there was one in Stephens green and it was great.....many would disagree with me and I can see their point too. More or less fast food.

After seeing Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, I think I'd like to see at least a few White Castle outlets in Ireland. I like the look of the small square burgers and plain bread and that you get many small manageable burgers rather than one large burger. I've never tried them, so they may not live up to expectations.

Sorry, not a list.

Where would all the cheeky people go if you got rid of Nandos.

Not sure if this counts, but I would love if we had an oriental food hall, like this.

Basically a bunch of Chinese and Asian restaurants under one roof with seats and tables in the middle.

When you think about we don't have any exclusive fast food seafood places in Ireland.

Corvo · 20-03-2021 3:37am

Shake Shack

Nqp15hhu · 20-03-2021 3:42am

Krispy Kreme, Taco Bell, Panda Express and outback.

con___manx1 · 20-03-2021 3:48am

Dunkin doughnuts or even Tim hortans.There is a Tim hortans in Belfast. The only Dunkin doughnuts iv seen in Europe was in Amsterdam.

JupiterKid · 20-03-2021 3:50am

IHOP - International House Of Pancakes

Mind you, if Dublin had an IHOP I would probably put 3 stone on and become diabetic.

Wish we had far less Starbucks (absolutely rank “coffee”...)
As another poster opined, Ireland has more than enough fast food outlets now.

As for 5 Guys - hugely overpriced, overhyped fare. I see their Blackrock place has closed down.

We have Tim Hortons here, I reviewed it. It's quite good, though not as good as krispy kreme.

Glad we now have a doughnut place anyway!

Great variety of tasty food.

I would have thought there is plenty of these. You even see them in small villages throughout Ireland these days.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good kebab after a few beers but I would imagine 90% of their business comes from the after pub trade. Ironic seeing that most of these are owned by non drinking Arabs.

leahyl · 20-03-2021 11:50am

There’s a Johnny Rockets in the states that I presume Eddie Rockets is modelled on but the burgers are way nicer in Johnny Rockets.

Cheesecake Factory is the only other fast food place I’ve visited outside Ireland and it’s amazing, so yeah bring it here *drool

MarkY91 · 20-03-2021 11:53am

A place that sells real Mexican food.

Th closest thing we have to that is El Grito in Dublin but even that is as Mexican as a spice bag is Chinese.
