McDonald's

I pulled into this airport location for a 2 euro coffee…read more The carpark was well enough signposted to alert customers to a maximum 30 minute stay as it's within the airport. This is understandable from their perspective but far from generous to customers. I mean I know it's fast food but rushing to eat this food ain't my idea of dining. Come to think of it, even eating it slowly ain't my idea of dining either that's why it's only occasional cheap coffee. So if you don't gobble this food on site there's really nowhere close by to eat it before going stone cold; it's motorway and carriageway all around Dublin airport and in my case going back north I'd have to pull over on a motorway hard shoulder which would just be daft. It was about 5pm when I arrived and there was only a few customers - the chap who was in front of me also ordered only a coffee. His took a while to be served up and again who knows why - after all it's push a button technology - as I stood waiting and waiting I noted that the staff were extremely courteous to customers. That's what made an otherwise one star review a three star one. Time passed and the chap in front of me had long gone yet still no sign of my coffee and little sign of much effort behind the counter and darn few customers. I became conscious that I only had 30 minutes so I called over to a staffer to say I was waiting on a coffee. I didn't hear his reply to me but when he did another staffer, that I couldn't see, confirmed she'd taken my order and very soon after this my coffee was served up. In other words my coffee order had vanished and only I spoke up I would likely have breached the 30 minute stay and no doubt an exorbitant parking ticket via the postman. Only the desperation of overbearing osmotic pressure or a ruptured urethral sphincter would see me return here.

It is quite like our tradition to have McDonald before our flight but this time (3 days ago) was a…read morebit different. It took so long for my order to be processed (my number is something like 770 and we got our food at the same time with the one carried number 830 and no words from staffs to state why our foods is that late to make). Understand it was a busy day for the shop but some words would be appreciated than just let us standing there for 20 mins when everyone had there food. We still come back there again and hopefully the service could be a bit faster.

Finally on our last day ending our country wide tour of Ireland, we decided to make the stop here in Dublin. Reading through the whole menu it was hard to make our decisions, lots of appealing options make you either want to go all out or come back to try other options. We decided on the Abra Meat Feast Kebab, buffalo chicken wings, rodeo fries, and sweet potato loaded fries. The Meat Feast was delicious. The buffalo chicken wings were spicy! and tasty. The sweet potato loaded fries hit the spot. The rodeo fries while listed as onion rings, only came with two small onion rings sitting on a bed of regular fries. Still tasty but not what we expected based on the menus description. Now as for the sauces, this is where they lost their 5th star. Any side of sauce other than ketchup is €1. You'd think with Wings or fries you'd get a sauce, you do but you have to pay for it. Even McDonalds gives you one or two sauces of your choosing with a small order of nuggets. Other than being stingy on their dips, the food definitely gives you a nice fast food high :) If we're ever back in Ireland, we'd swing by for a round two for sure!

Unfortunately, I am unable to comment on the quality of the food in this establishment…read more My family was on a camping holiday in Donabate, and decided to get a Chinese takeaway in the village. We found a parking spot right outside the takeaway at no.3, Fairways Mall -- perfect! -- and, with a bit of manoeuvring, got the campervan into the space, well within the road markings (it's a medium size campervan). With that, a man got out of the car in the next space, and proceeded to lambast me for parking there, saying that I was blocking access to the takeaway. It turned out that he was one of the drivers of the takeaway. I got out and checked, and I had left plenty of room, and told him so; and furthermore, informed him that the campervan was taxed and insured, and that I was fully entitled to park where I was, on the public road. I then asked him why he had not negotiated with me when he first saw my initial manoeuvrings. No response. With that, the lady proprietor of the takeaway came out, and screamed at me to "get that van out of there, it is too big." Attempts at explanation of parking bye-laws were ignored (we would only have been there for the time it took to prepare the meal, after all). All I got was a repeated "Get out, get out", which made me all the more determined to stay put........until my niece told me that her young son was getting an asthma attack, with all the excitement. So, reluctantly, I moved away. Needless to say, I didn't give them my custom after that little episode, and if you are driving in Donabate in a campervan and fancy a Chinese takeaway, my advice is to look elsewhere. There are plenty of other, more welcoming, establishments in the area.

It was very clean, staff were very attentive and polite and it was rather busy. The food was good although I would have preferred a menu with more choice we managed to pick out what we would enjoy. On the night we attended there was some sort of event on, and as they awaited their rented room they were attending the bar/restaurant area. This made it very busy but it did add to the atmosphere, although some people did complain and did not like the fact that all were together and that it was less of a restaurant feel. As there are bars in the function rooms I couldn't understand why they weren't just moved there from when they arrived. I'm not sure we would return soon as the menu was limited. My husband can be very picky and does not like fish and it was very present on the menu. Were we to return he would probably have the exact same meal which does not appeal to him. I felt the wine list was pretty light and the prices were very high especially for a glass at €11.

My partner and I went here for lunch today after a long day of walking around Dublin. We are…read moreAmerican and wanted to see their take on American diner food. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated in a booth. We ordered food a few minutes later. I got the chicken tender basket and a Ferrero Rocher shake, and my partner got the BLT basket and a Kinder Bueno shake. We also got the mac and cheese bites just to see how they were. The chicken tenders were hot but very small. The fries were alright but a little disappointing - something I experience in diners with some degree of frequency in the states, so I guess you could call this a point for accuracy? The BLT sliders were fine, nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese bites tasted like cafeteria mac that was battered and fried. Again, nothing special. The shakes were good but a bit watery - I like my shakes to be more creamy and thick. The food overall was lacking salt (and seasoning overall) and I saw other people putting salt and pepper all over their food too so I know it wasn't a me thing. The bathrooms weren't great. They were in the basement down a long hallway. They weren't very clean and the doors on the stalls were both broken and stuck on engaged, so you couldn't lock them and you couldn't tell if someone was in one without knocking. I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was in there and couldn't wait to get back out. The restaurant itself was an average level of cleanliness. The floors were dirty but it was a very rainy day so I could forgive that. The booths weren't in great condition - some had tears that originated from cracked vinyl. The staff seemed friendly enough but I did catch two of them talking about another table in another language. I didn't speak the language but they were blatantly looking at the table and pointing with their eyes. It made me feel a bit bad on behalf of that table - they were right behind us and hadn't done anything wrong. Overall this place is just alright. It's fine if you're starving and don't really care what you eat or if it's any good, but if you want a meal you will enjoy and remember then try a pub across the river instead.

It does say 'Eat and go!' on their caps, but that is what I like to do anyway - no prob! The Clonakilty burger has beef, bacon, a fried egg, and even hash-browns! It is huge, but manageable - I ate every bite and licked my fingers! Most burgers with fried eggs are really messy, from the runny yolks - but this egg was cooked hard enough so that it didn't make a mess. Big improvement! The Cheesy Chicken burger was also good. The Bacon & Cheese Fries were decent; thick bacon bits were excellent, but the gooey cheeze-whiz style cheese lowered their delight-factor. Real grated cheese would've been much better. Tasty ice cream desserts, and fair prices, in a clean chrome diner. Restrooms downstairs were very clean. We liked it!

Boasting the best of Irish beef and a "nothing but burgers" menu, we headed off to this iconic Dublin burger joint. It is surely no frills. Tucked in the wall, no elegance to speak of, BUT they are all about the burgers, for sure. I ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon (after all, if going for a cardiac arrest burger, you need to do it proud) and the crinkle cut Bujo fries. I asked for the three sauce selection and chose Siaracha Mayo, Burbon BBQ and the Roasted Garlic Aioli. I ordered a draft beer. IMHO, a burger without a beer in Ireland is sacrilegious. My husband, being the pagan he is, opted for a chocolate milkshake with oreo crumbs (what??) The joint has a condiments bar where you can add jalapeños, crispy onions and other such to your meal. It is self serve for ordering and you are given a table placard for the table to await a server who does bring your meal. The burgers were distinctly charbroiled and flavorful. The fries were.....well, meh.....the sauces definately added value to the fries. The sliced jalapeños were delicious, as were the sauces. I really enjoyed them. I would have given this place four stars for being in the keeping of what it is--a hole in the wall burger joint. However, for someone who is not price sensitive on food at all, I was a bit taken aback by the price. In USD, essentially $65 for two burgers, two decent drinks and 2 fries. That was with tip, but wilthout VAT. The table was sticky and the bathroom was dingy. So the 3 stars is about right. I would definately recommend this place for a good burger but be prepared to carry a loaded wallet and skip the drinks and sauces to keep it affordable.
