GranviIle Road, Sheffield

GranviIle Road - Sheffield - the worst McDonald's 'restaurant ever!
It's scary when your order is missing a half of burgers you paid and you already paid for them but actually there's nowhere to send a complaint or request a refund. Chat is horrible, not able to use it, no phone, no email address, disgraceful.
They're sending you to ubereats which is fraudulent as the day is long. Terrible! Never ever!

Failed to meet even my low expectations!!

Its hard to know where to start...

Firstly the App is atrocious - about 10 steps to order a coffee and today it excelled - it took me 15 mins, 3 app crashes and a load of hassle to cancel an order from December that the app decided to resubmit.

So, after 10 mins at the counter, and some McDs employees with some horrible attributes, someone came to help me and explain how to use it... it was more than a little condescending (I am IT literate), eventually they gave up too - the app really is awful!

So, 25+ mins of hassle and my Latte finally arrived! But it was only half full (typical of this location, they do undersized servings routinely), so I asked to receive a full cup. Which then arrived.

I left the store and had a sip, but scorched my mouth, the missing half of my latte has been filled up with boiling water!!! The pain aside, it was undrinkable (half latte, half water is bad!!).

After 30 mins and more interactions with more staff with bad attitudes I just took it back and left it with them - life is too short for bad coffee and arguments!

But, I thought that McDs should know, and also heck, they could refund me the £2.89!! So, I used the app to leave feedback - turns out its a bot, it crashed a couple of times and took 15 mins to even leave feedback - I should have learned my lesson.

So, 4 hours later, I get an email asking me to go into the app (which is now uninstalled - never again) and get the receipt, take an image of it, transfer it to my laptop and email it to them. They also asked for my email address (yep, the one that they had just used to email me).

So, I'm done, I'm not going to argue with McDs over £2.89 - if they don't want to refund it, then they can keep it. It'll be the last they see of me, the app is deleted from my phone and I feel happier, my routine coffee when I walk the dog can come from somewhere else - at least I won't get miserable/rude people and half measures.

Corporate thieves

Try to place an order through their app which in turn ordered for a completely different location I was in. Contacted customer services and they refused to give me a refund even though I got no food and no one in-store would help me.
Will never be buying McDonald's again as they are a shameless corporate entity.

Haven't eaten here in a while and I had a taste for the fish filet. OMG sandwich is very small yet price still 10 plus dollars and only a half slice of cheese. BRING THE OLD MCDONALD'S BACK PLZ. THIS IS WHY YOUR SALES HAVE DECLINED. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND POOR FOOD QUALITY. ALTHOUGH I MUST SAY THE MOUNT ZION LOCATION IN MORROW GA SERVICE WAS VERY PROMPT.

Big corporations can be so sucky because they give me a $50 coupon for a hotel website after I traded in like 150000 points and the coupon applies the discount after first raising the base rate. So dishonest

A $36 Lesson in Regret at McDonald’s

I walked into this experience expecting a quick, convenient DoorDash order. What I got instead was a $36 lesson in pure disappointment, courtesy of McDonald’s. Twelve dollars for a sad, flavorless sandwich. Five dollars for fries that tasted like they’d been reheated from yesterday. And despite the price tag, they still managed to forget the pickles I specifically asked for.

By the time the delivery arrived, the food was cold, the quality was embarrassing, and the value was nonexistent. Thirty‑six dollars for what amounted to a limp burger and a handful of fries is absurd on its own — but getting that level of mediocrity delivered to my door just made it sting even more.

This was a complete waste of money from start to finish. I won’t be giving McDonald’s another cent, and I’d strongly suggest anyone who values their wallet or their taste buds do the same.

Bit of a Let-Down this time

I’ve always liked popping into the McDonald’s in South Melbourne — it’s usually one of my favourite spots for a quick feed. But this visit really missed the mark.I asked for a fresh chicken sandwich and even said I was happy to wait, no drama at all. Instead, I got lukewarm fries and a chicken sandwich so old and dry I could hardly bite into it. The manager clearly couldn’t be bothered, acting like she was “waiting on the chicken” while handing over something that had obviously been sitting there for ages.Look, I’m not asking for anything wild — just the fresh food I actually ordered. I’ve worked in fast food myself, and making something fresh was never a hassle, especially when the customer specifically requested it.Pretty disappointing experience overall. I still like the South Melbourne store, but after this… yeah, not overly impressed.
