Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience. I found a hair in my food, which completely ruined my appetite. I understand that mistakes can happen, but for a place of this level I expected much better hygiene and quality control. I hope the management takes situations like this more seriously.

I placed an order through the McDonalds…

I placed an order through the McDonalds app. This cost me over £30. A message was sent saying order 2 minutes away but it never arrived. Contacted McDonalds but they said nothing to do with them I had to complain to Uber who they use for delivery. Surely they should be more interested in orders that don't get delivered. This is not the first time this has happened to me when ordering through their app. So I've learned my lesson now and will not be ordering through their app again and suggest no one else does either until they start to take some responsibility. I had to pay again to get my order. Avoid at all costs.

Cribbs Causeway Bristol McDonalds was absolutely terrible. Chicken burger was dry and over cooked, threw it away. Big Mac was greasy and tasted old, threw that away too. We have used it twice in a year whilst travelling from Devon to Telford. Won’t be using it again.

Awful food and useless app/delivery

Awful food and useless app/delivery
Twice they screwed me over when ordering food on the app for delivery, 2 hours pass, and nothing, it’s the only place open late so when I’m home from work it’s convenient to order from there
It’s happened to me twice now I’ve ordered and after a couple of hours the food never arrives, I suspect the delivery drivers are eating my order!

The McDonalds on Walsall Road in…

The McDonalds on Walsall Road in Birmingham is slowly killing the taste of anything chicken on their menu. It started with the nuggets, which were regularly chewy, so I stopped ordering them. Then it was the selects - the coating seemed to be trying to run away from every chicken piece providing a slimy texture between the coating and chicken. I went back to regularly old chicken sandwiches only for ot to be as dry and hard as cardboard
Either they are selling food that is "out of time" or they are victim to shoddy supply. Either way, with the knowledge of the health benefits of not eating McDs, any more of this and ill be giving it up for good.

Five star McDonald’s

Fast reliable service whatever you go in the world McDonald’s are there. I love McDonald’s. I had to see if somebody was a young kid. There’s nothing better than a good McDonald’s good standard called quality the service services. Unbelievable. I would highly recommend them wherever you are in the world.

Food missing

I ordered three flatbreads and only one arrived. It’s become a recurring issue with McDonald’s – they never seem to get things right.

Their staff clearly aren’t paying attention when filling orders. This isn’t the first time I’ve complained about McDonald’s for various reasons.

The customer service is appalling.

MCDONALD'S REMOVAL OF GRILLED CHICKEN…

MCDONALD'S REMOVAL OF GRILLED CHICKEN WITHOUT NOTICE FROM THEIR MENU SHOWS A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISREGARD FOR THE HEALTH OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. REDUCING BACK TO ALL FRIED FILLINGS GIVES NOBODY A HEALTHY OPTION TO CHOOSE. AS USUAL, PROFIT PREVAILS. I AM APALLED THAT, IN TIMES OF MASS OBESITY AND ASSOCIATED ILL HEALTH ISSUES ACROSS FIRST WORLD NATIONS, THEY CHOOSE TO DISPLAY FLAGRANT LACK OF CONCERN AND TOTAL DISRESPECT FOR THEIR CUSTOMER BASE.

Collierswood branch awful quality Fries - placed a large order, however all 3 sets of Fries were not dissimilar to cardboard. Had probably been left standing for a long time. Obviously ‘NOT quality checked’ prior to selling to unsuspecting customers. All 3 binned.

Disappointing Chocolate Sundae

Ordered a chocolate sundae at New Plymouth Mc Donalds.
Chocolate sauce was in bottom of container. None on top where it should be. Ice cream was no longer soft serve but mostly liquid like a thickshake.

Restaurant at Washington St--Grafton WI

Restaurant at Washington St. and I-43; Grafton, WI, @9:15pm 5/16/26. Had been on the road about 2 hours, stopped for caffeine before driving thru Metro Milwaukee. Had to look into kitchen for staff. Ordered iced coffee (caramel). None available, but they would brew some . . . 5-10 minutes later, delivered: no ice; room temperature, no identifiable flavor. I don't expect barista quality at McD's, but this time was a failure on all counts.

You can't eat this

You can't eat this. The food is very unhealthy. They also attract children with all sorts of toys. Keep your children away from these establishments if you want them to be healthy

McDonald’s fast food at its worst

I went to the McDonalds in Maidstone Hart street I was so disappointed the queue was horrendous there was no salt or straws or any condiments it was all empty I waited ages for my order I was number 54 and several orders in the 60”s were being fulfilled when I asked they said they was waiting for the drink which was one Diet Coke, I saw my order on the tray and asked for it the women said I had to wait for my drink which took forever. Fast food there is nothing fast about this McDonald’s, I would have given them no stars if I could, the customer service was diabolical the staff were just standing around chatting and mucking about when clearly they should have been getting the orders ready I will never use this establishment again. When I asked why it was so slow her answer was it’s a bank holiday is that an excuse for bad service and rudeness you should be ashamed of your staff and there behaviour worst customer service ever
