My 4 year old Daughter and I returned to McDonalds today at 18:00 today 27 June 2020, I was impressed with the measures implemented in the ongoing battle with Covid 19, Social Distancing been adhered too ,the restaurant fitted with safety glass and easy to follow signage. The Staff were diligent, polite and very helpful. There is a however and it is there are technical faults with the automated ordering tablets. I couldn't order and a Staff Member stepped in to assist whom advised they were having issues all day with the matching. The Staff Member made the order on my behave and when complete I paid by card the recipe required to provide at the collection did not dispense from the machine.

The decor is bright and plastic and easy to wipe clean. It's a formula that has seen Subway grow past McDonald's and then collapse, and I suspect that alongside cockroaches, there will be a few McDonald's restaurants in the post apocalyptic world.
The app deals make it affordable, and a big Mac with fries is one of the few WHO certified hangover cures. You will never exclaim in a McDonald's "This is the best thing I have ever eaten", but you can also rest assured that your meal will not exit your body through either of the main orifices after an hour or two. That's not a claim that can be made about every Cork...
Read moreThis place is the pits, get the order wrong most of the time, machines always out of order, stale buns for burgers, food nearly always cold, could go on and on. In my last dozen or so visits to the drive through they got the order wrong at least eight times, I usually throw it in the bin and get over it but on Sunday I went back and complained, manager had little or no interest and was made to feel that the error was my fault and again this evening they got the order wrong, asked for three burgers with onions only, got only one, the one I checked of course, other two covered in everything except onions, really had enough of this place and will not be going back. giving one star...
