What a rip off!!! Was in there today - missed lunch so just grabbed a hamburger and a medium diet coke. Just a regular crappy hamburger. €4.90 altogether €2.30 for the burger and €2.60 for the drink which was half ice. Totally uncompetitive with other similar retailers. Last time I go there!

:mad:they are and they always put the sauce just in the middle of the burger...

funny how things are all relative, if you were at a music festival you would be paying twice that!

But yes, you are right, the place is a rip-off and they are rude and generally the place is a dump.

Who says they need to be competitively priced? They can charge whatever the hell they want, its up to you to decide whether you pay it or not.

They benefit from being the only fast food gaff out there bar Abra around up by the garage.

Haven't been there in years mainly because it's a dump. I presume the prices would be the same in Merchants Quay!

He didn't. He just expressed his opinion - one that I agree with - that they are overpriced.

oh....my GOOOOOOOD
i DESPISE the place. i went in there when i was 9 months pregnant and i started to eat what looked like a S**T chicken wrap, turned out it was not only s**t but also mouldy inside.
the one in merchants key, i ordered a meal for 7.20 because the 'manager' said it was better value and got.... only a small milkshake and the burger??? i then asked her where the fries were and she got her sidekick to talk to me saying that i only bought the burger and milkshake ,while the manager cowered in the corner.
never got my fries so i told him where to go!!
rip off isn't the word.

Kazbah · 16-09-2008 7:34pm

He is a she

I wouldn't have *chosen* to pay that but the prices for the drinks weren't displayed. I won't ever darken the door of the place again.

Their "special offer" was fries and a drink for €4. :rolleyes:

Well who have they got to compete with them? A couple of restaurants and an O'Briens. I'd prefer to get a can and a Rustlers microwaveable burger in Tescos myself.

Don't get me started on O'Briens:mad:

A banana and a bottle of water does the job in a healthy way!

Hi-Burger have a new loyalty card so I suppose the prices have to include the cost of that.

I find most food is expensive.

Rippy · 17-09-2008 10:27pm

Wilton is crap for food . Wilton arms pub is probaly best bet. Or coffee shop in maternity hospital .

pow wow · 18-09-2008 9:05am

Their milkshakes are alright. Not sure abut chucking 4 chips in a bag and calling it a 'small' fries though lol.

brettmirl · 18-09-2008 10:12am

God this place must be really gone down the tubes.

I can vaguely remember when it opened first. This was before there were too many McDonalds or Burger Kings in Ireland. "The Hamburger Inn" as it was known back then was the height of sophistication in the early 80s!

We used to stop there on the way to west cork for our holidays every year.

Was Mandy's not where McDs is now at the top end of Pana, opposite Virgin/Zavvi?

Yup that's where it was alright.

Ah I remember the garden burger. When I was a student I used to do my shopping in Wilton Tescos and could only afford the burger and chips not the drink. Used to choke on the food with nothing to wash it down. Its a rip off but alot nicer than burgerland.

hi cafe wilton sc. what a dump and rip off. today i went there with a friend. i ordered a garden burger with tea my friend just had a burger.while eating my garden burger i discovered strands of hair. not one but two in the burger as i was chewing.(yuck disgusting!) i looked for manageress.she more or less fobbed me off by saying it couldn`t be in the burger.i know what i found in this burger and because of her attitude i am now reporting this to the health board as i got no satisfaction. she would want to re take a refresher course in manners and dealing with the public. never again go near the place.
