McDonald's in Portlaoise

I must be honest, not the cleanest McDonald's. Update, for the second time in a row the service has been very disappointing. I don't like to leave a bad review for any business but the staff are not the friendliness. The wait alone in the drive through after our food was handed out was ridiculous, atleast 8 minutes waiting for 3 drink's. Opened our order, no sauces or even a packet of salt. Can't say we were happy at all

When i enter to get my happy meal i feel the rush of aura, when i order my happy meal and when i get it, if they forget the toy my eyes go red, im turning on my alpha mode.. dont mess with me.. anyways i recommend this restaurant. 10/10

Saturday I've had a meal with my family here and it was as I remembered old McDonald's. Before 2020. Just tasted right. Definitely visit this one compared to Newbridge which tastes off. Naas one isn't much better. No idea why this location tastes different but it's much better

We’ve been a few times over the past few months, at different times of the morning and evening—so we’ve seen the store at various levels of busy and quiet. In the late mornings, staff have often left our coffee’s sitting for 15-20 mins until we ask about our order. They then say the kitchen is very busy and yet somehow a minute later, magically, out come our two coffees. How were the coffee’s already done if the kitchen is too busy to do them? They’ve been left to go cold and obviously ignored. That’s been pretty common, unfortunately. We’ve also had multiple instances of food being left out of a takeaway order, so make sure to check before you leave. It’s a 50/50 chance that something will be forgotten or left off what you’ve asked for. And our orders are standard things. We don’t make any big or complex changes. Also, we’ve had to sort of force the staff to talk to us when we have an issue as they tend to walk past or ignore you. Basically, we’ve found first thing in the morning for coffee or a quiet breakfast to be the best experience here. It’s a very small restaurant and once it starts to get a little busy, it’s chaos. It could really improve a lot and be so much better. At the moment, I’m really disappointed in this restaurant but it has a lot of potential. Bottom line: right now it’s not the best McDonald’s experience you’re going to find in the midlands. But it does the job as long as you keep on top of any issues.

Fast food. Great. Me and my friend love PresLee❤️.

I'm so unlucky. Everytime when I'm in there toilets are dirty

Liked their veggie and vegan offerings

Have been here before and enjoyed it but last Saturday was very different. The food was grand, but the atmosphere was horrible. I realise that it was extremely busy but every staff member had such a sore face on them. Sorry, one exception, there was a young lady who was helpful . A machine was not taking payments, and you had to go to the counter to pay, but you were left standing there, and the longer you were standing , the longer it took for your order to register. Customers were complaining to each other but said nothing because it wasn't worth the hassle. I said nothing as I don't upset people who prepare my food. It was a really horrible atmosphere and service. I got the impression that no one of the staff wanted to be there. I'm sure there are people who would want a job there and enjoy it. If staff don't want to be there, please don't turn up. We all work jobs that are at times challenging. I will think twice about spending my hard earned money there. The staff obviously don't want the customers there. They made that so clear.

One McDonald's is more or less the same as the next. Food is OK service here was good.

It's maccas, I mean like to be completely honest I just wanted some guilty pleasure food I would regreat soon after. But don't get me wrong, it's class. The chips were fresh, which I loved.
