Trying to get fresh fries at any location is like rolling the dice. Despite an average wait time of 15 minutes, you can expect your fries to be cold 90% of the time. And heaven forbid there's any sort... See more

Mcdonald's are awful

Mcdonald's are awful. Ordered McMuffin Burger on app with bonus points and the app froze. Also ordered separate part of the meal through the app and paid on card. Turned up to the restaurant to collect and nothing came through. Lost my points and my money! Walked away with nothing! Awful service and experience

Worst experience yet

Got my food, I ordered a Big Mac with plain cheese, I got a onion lettuce and tomato Big Mac, my drink was a coke instead of a sweet tea, and it wasn’t even the worst experience of the McDonalds

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
