McDonalds

My son was vomiting after he ate the chicken nuggets, I took the time to go back buy more nuggets and cut them open, I found uncooked chicken that still had blood in it.

As good as McDonalds is going to get because it has an amazing location. Worth visiting just for the building. Usual McDonalds fare and pray to the gods that you don’t need to pee because the toilets are tiny and unventilated.

5 Stars is stated as «Woohoo! As good as it gets!» on Unilocal.
Yes…I’m reviewing a McDonald’s. You all think McDonald’s is a food company but in reality they are in real estate business because it’s all about location! location! location! And this is one of the coolest looking McD I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe they actually got to make an old town hall into a fast food joint! The only other note worthy McD I know of is the old hotel one in Melbourne, Australia.
As for the food? Well, it’ like any McD. This one is close to a few schools, so if you want a quiet place, this may not be the place at certain times.

Ok so I know you’re not supposed to go to American fast food when visiting out of the country, that you should try and experience the food there… Well it was early in the am and we were desperate and it was close to the train station. It was warm inside, it was in a very interesting building that looked like a Swiss chalet, the breakfast was good and they had free WiFi, so it was awesome!

Avoid… hamburgers are not eatable… totally different experience from McDonald in City Center for example

McDonalds in general is a very cheap and convenient restaurant, and prominently the «go to» place for a lot of people; those who are out in town, passing a bit of time, on their way to or back from somewhere, kids’ birthday parties; just to name a few.
For myself anyway, this specific McDonalds, I must say, is quite a treat. When I used to pay my Grandmother a visit in one of the nursing homes in Bray, there would more often than not be a stopover here to accompany it. As Quentin D points out– the additional medieval architecture is very piquant a facet of the establishment as a whole. This was what motivated me to go out of my way before taking the dart home; there was a heightened satisfaction when eating there.
However, my appreciation for the building’s design doesn’t preclude a disappointing criticism over the service. Some will say I’m extremely fastidious, and maybe I am, but it’s how I experienced going there. Like being at the restaurant in «Cable Guy” — Medieval Times– in which the waitress appeared too apathetic about her job, slightly detracting from the anticipation you have (over such an interesting design) for a restaurant– your initial impression isn’t consistent.
I mean, you could argue that I was unlucky in coming across someone who was simply unconcerned, though it seemed a collective semblance to be fair. I probably shouldn’t have higher expectations for the place because of its outermost design but I do, unfortunately lowering in quality my overall opinion.
Another observation worth noting is how the interior of the building was never that well kempt. Acceptable, but not thorough. I recall packaging, in which hamburgers came, left open on a table being synonymous with my sojourns there. You could get that in any McDonalds really but, as I’ve said, the high expectation demands that bit extra– in this case a more diligent cleaning staff.
Regardless of this, the novelty of a medieval style McDonalds is fulfilling enough to surpass the otherwise trivial disappointments.

You know that movie «A Knights Tale» where you have a very odd mix of the medieval and the modern that seems to work incredibly well? I could easily believe a crowd in ye olde time were banging out Freddie Mercury tunes whilst watching the jousting and munching away on a MacDonald’s — and the afore mentioned… er…food (for want of a better description) would have come from here.
This is a beautifully preserved clearly very old building where the current tenants were obviously asked to not go mad with the branding and the plastic — so you get wooden tables and chairs, a few discreet posters and a very different atmosphere for a MacDonald’s.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!
