Finally competition for Supermacs, if you could call it that, for Hillbillys is in a different league to the muck that passes for chicken in supermacs.
The best news ive heard in a long time, you will not get better chicken than Hillbillys which is a Cork institution, the breast in the bun burger being my personal favourite and lets not forget the buy 1 snackbox get 1 free every Tuesday.

Have you ever tried Hillbilly's in Dublin? It's muck.

Hopefully the standard will be better in Galway.

Is this a big deal? I was excited when we got a KFC until I tried it. I remember it in the states being good but you got coleslaw and mash with gravy as sides. Last thing you need is greasy chips to go with greasy chicken.

Classic Galway thread really. fast food outlet opening- goons salivating.

no, considering the sight of it makes me sick when sober, after a few jars it'd be carnage.

I look forward to trying their "Breast in a bun" I love me a good Chicken Sandwich.

Only american fast food I crave between trips west is Chick-fil-a, nowhere comes close to making a sandwich that good.

Hillbilly's is very very similar to Supermacs. Same tasting chips and same tasting chicken.

Rotten...

Couldn't agree more, tried the one in Fairview one night (it was that or Dominos), wish I'd jogged on. Turned me off snack boxes for life.

Can't see it being any different no matter where it is located.

That'd be the controversial chicken

Same when they came to Carlow, pretty rotten the whole time and they shut down fairly quickly

Hillbilly's is alright but nothing special, I find myself wishing the one supermacs in Cork city wasn't so far off the beaten track after a rake of pints rather than rushing to hillbilly's, only went there once or twice really.

Talking about American places If I could bring one fast food place here from america it would be Chipotle's. Their burritos are epic.

In Ennis as well and not great. Not a big fan of the Cork one either tbh...but apparently "an institution biy"

for me it would have to be Rileys Roast Beef in Buffalo. best "after a few drinks" roast beef sandwich there is.

When I lived in Cork I loved the Chicken Sandwich there...really is fantastic.
But it's still no Nandos Really wish Nandos would open.

Their politics are **** but I only care about how it tastes.



I'd swap the coke for one of their milkshakes though.

Banana pudding milkshake to be exact.

You can get a kids meal and trade the toy for an ice-cream aswell.

Chipotle isn't really fast-food though, like, they don't do drive through, it's more like a Chilli's type place, sit down meal, j'get me? You are right though, fecking epic.

I've heard only great things from the one in Letterkenny... looking forward to trying it.

Yeah calling it fast food is doing it a disservice, they serve beer too which you wouldn't find in your typical fast food outlet. I got my food to take away the times I was there which is why I'm associating it with fast food in my head I suppose.

The sheer amount of stuff they can pack into a burrito is unreal!!

If you're ever craving a burrito and happen to be in Dublin, Pablo Picante is pretty decent.

Cheers, its not something I have had very often in Ireland actually, mostly because there isn't many places doing them and the one or two I have had have only been alright. Its really just when I was in the US last march and tried Chipotle that I realised how good they can be.

I will give that place a go at some stage if I'm in Dublin.

Chipotle is one of the worst 'mexican' restaurants here. And it's very much a fast food place.
Honestly, when I go home now I love having Supermacs. Burger sauce and curry! And regular sized chips. Yum!

Nothing thinly veiled with this. I live across the road from a Chic-Fil-A and live a 5 minute drive from a Chipotle. Good thing about Chic is they use peanut oil to fry the chicken too. Also I would call Chipotle fast food but then I call Subway fast food too. Almost the same setup as a Subway only with much better food and usually for me works out cheaper!

I like Chipotle but I'd be more into places like Five Guys, In-N-Out, Red Robin and Outback

Look lads; you can not beat this place
