I love how McDonald's hires a diverse range of folks, in all different age ranges. You can really feel the difference in it being a well rounded team. There's parking out front and back, and it's not far from the main street. Inside is kept cleans, staff are helpful, and interact kindly with both customers and their co-workers. Never any complaints with the food or timings. Drive through seems to move at a decent pace, from what I can tell. It's immediately adjacent to a petrol station and shop, which is handy.

Reviews
Very quick and tasty food. The place is always packed with a line of cars stretching out to the main road for cars attempting to go through the drive through. It is a bit too busy to enjoy some quiet downtime, with alot of kids. But the prices are unbeatable.
Disappointing drive-thru experience today. We ordered and paid €4.30 for Mozzarella Dippers, but when we got home we realised they were completely missing from the bag. Strangely, the dip was included, but not the actual mozzarella dippers.
We live quite far from Castlebar, so driving all the way back just to get a missing item isn’t really an option. I understand that mistakes happen, but it’s frustrating to pay for food you never received. Drive-thru orders should be checked properly before being handed to customers.
