Burger king

Surely that will only be a temp issue and they put in a few more spaces.

or trade drops and levels out once the novelty wears off, as normally happens when a new place is no longer new.

Went to the drive through yesterday. I got no salt, ketchup, napkins or a straw >:[

Stained Class

Jaysus the Qs there yesterday. You'd swear Carlow people never saw a Burger before!

Unreal.

Pretty disastrous when busy in fairness but should be ok when it calms down?

Picked a drive trough up the other night. I must say it is very handy when coming home late in the evening. Almost dangerous.

Was in there with two of the kids on Christmas Eve.
The quality and service was first class. Great to see it.

Parking was an issue alright, but I've no problem with that - was a busy day everywhere.

I work there. And I have to say, I like working there. Not only because the people I work with are all interested and motivated, but because some of the customers are truly lovely people who cheer me up and brighten my day (and I hope I do the same for them sometimes.) Having said that I have had a few experiences with horrible, horrible customers. Shouting at me and making snide remarks about the service. I am happy though to read about a few people's good experiences. The first day it opened (the 20th) was an absolute disaster. Myself and the other crew members had only received 10 days of training in another BK restaurant and we were not really ready to be running a whole restaurant on our own so it was a real sink or swim situation, we were all thrown in there with these mad, mad crowds and we could either succeed or fail. Although a few orders have been messed up, I feel the crew is really coming along and honestly I'm learning something new everyday when working there. And I'm not just saying this because I work there, but honestly I do think the customer service is quite good. We always maintain that the customer is right even if they aren't and have the banter at front counter. The place is really clean and well kept too which is always a plus in a fast food place. We've had a few mess ups as I said but we're all getting into the swing of things now so service should be much quicker. We didn't have Oreo or Kitkat icecream last week or brownies or one/two flavours of frappes but should be resolved when I go back to work tomorrow after a few days off for Christmas. I really do think the new BK will last in Carlow. I thought originally that the location wasn't ideal but we've had so many customers. Oddly people will always travel for fast food. Plus I think there is a real market there for the IT students. Fingers crossed as it's good to be working! Pop down tomorrow for your whopper ha Keep an eye out me haha

I was in there on Christmas eve and the customer service we got was first class. The lady that served us was really pleasant to us and everyone that she served in the time we were there. Food was great and I will be returning so keep up the good work and here is hoping bk is a success in Carlow.

Mister Man

Myself and two of the lads went in tonight to grab some food. From the second we walked in, the staff were some of the nicest people I've been served by! The girl who took our orders was lovely, and another girl came up after and was talking to us for a while about random ****e. All the kitchen staff seemed like they were having good fun back there too. Loads of 'em were laughing. Food was great too.
All and all, great experience and I hope the standard with the staff it maintained!

I had my first in house Chicken Royan yesterday. Place is a bit small but better then nothing. In house lighting could be dimmed a bit as it was blinding. the que was a bit disorganised a few people were unsure as to who was first, id hate to see that in rush hour. food was perfect and loved the milkshake. I was first served by a really nice young girl (im young too) the first time and she was good at her job kind courteous and smiled and was polite. when i finished my meal i got three cheese burgers to go and was served by a very young guy who the original girl helped. i thought training was out of hours?? but no matter i got what i wanted and was happy with the result.
