Pat McDonagh on setting up Supermacs, Co. Galway, Ireland 1999

[@michaelf4506]

Well i like it and fairplay to an irishman making it big good to see. he took on McDonald's and won no surrender

[@DidYaServe]

Supermacs is way too expensive today. It should be cheaper than your local chipper because it's a chain but a meal there costs about €12 minimum.

[@markcostello4937]

I found Dublin people hate supermacs but all the foreign people i worked with love supermacs because they say it tastes like real food . They say Mc Donald's tastes artificial. I think supermacs is pretty good .

[@kevfit4333]

Supermacs is very hit and miss. There are some atrocious ones up and down the country. The directly owned ones are much better.

[@user-oo8wt3hr1t]

Dublin people just hate anything 'country'

[@davidp4043]

stupid comment.

[@Paul5520]

Decent grub and Irish !

Top people are Pat and Una.

Opening A pool hall or a takeaway in Ballinsloe...both carry their own risks

[@obsidianzarok2361]

It used to be pretty good in the 90s. shit now.

[@Cenotaur1]

Tasty and tempting food at... Burger King!

Fun fact. Churchill said "Never give up on your fine cognac, delusions, alcoholism nor manic depression,". Funny man.

Supermacs has invested every facet of Irish society. Councils continue to give permission for the plazas. You see buses of kids gaa teams stopping off there, nobody is ordering sandwiches, it’s all burgers chips etc. half the kids are already obese. Sorry state

[@kevfit4333]

I ate burgers as a child and there wasn't a pick on me. Kids barely go outside the door anymore, that's why they are fat.

[@flexingtonsteele82]

@@kevfit4333 yes that’s very much a contributing factor. The widespread availability and promotion of high calorie low nutrient food is main issue. Supermacs sponsor the gaa, they advertise non stop on regional radio, they are even advertising in the cinema now. It’s all about normalising unhealthy eating for profit. Same tactics used by tobacco alcohol and gambling industries for decades

[@AlainnCorcaigh]

Obese 😂😂😂 you'd want to get your eyes tested kiddo

[@EverGreen1888]

An Irish institution by this stage!

[@NsD3001]

Even by fast food standards Supermacs is bad, same with Apache pizza and O'briens sandwiches.

[@kevfit4333]

O'Briens sandwiches are 97.5% stale bread. Dire.

Can’t bate a muffin in ice cream.

[@kevinindublin]

Garish signage and lighting for his junk food joints blight every main street in Ireland.

[@kevfit4333]

Supermacs burgers are just about passable sometimes. The handful of chips are nearly always half raw. Mediocre at best.

[@jamesreilly7932]

I like supermac,s, but to tell the truth it very unhealthy food, 😮

[@derrygowley]

Afraid that supermacs is a complete rip off - totally overpriced junk

[@gerardodwyer5908]

All fast food, by ingredients if not definition, is junk.
