"I ordered a white coffee and a chocolate brownie"
"End of the road with McDonald's for me"
"The 5 star is because the staff were very hard-working and professional"
"Mcdonalds are usually pretty good but this was the worst experience I've had in probably 10 years of occasionally going to Mcdonalds"
"The service was not much impressive"
I ordered a white coffee and a chocolate brownie. Unfortunately I didn't get a chocolate brownie, instead I was given a cherry muffin yuk. The service was extremely poor. After waiting over 5 minutes, I asked if someone could serve. Thankfully a female member of staff came over and served me. I also told her I was in a hurry to be somewhere. She was very helpful and went to make my coffee. Unfortunately the manager on shift gets 0 stars. Poor organisation as the manager was running around making drinks and doing other things, the manager even told the female staff why she was making my coffee when they were other orders and that it was tough even if I was in a rush. The atmosphere going to the McDonald's in Northenden made feel very tensed and so were others waiting. My long journey was ruined by the manager as I can understand orders were being done but surely it was a simple order, make a coffee hand the brownie, job done. I hope I will get what I ordered and a refund for the brownie. I can only praise the female staff for taking my order, however due to her being pressured by the manager she give me the wrong order.

End of the road with McDonald's for me. Just tried to get two Big Mac meals. On entering the shop I was informed I could not enter without a face mask. I was wearing my sweatshirt neckline over my mouth. Ok then, I said, give me a facemask. They wanted one pound for a facemask when I could easily wait outside for my order and pay first.. I told them no. I instead used their drive through for my order. Whilst in the queue I didn't observe any mention of facemasks on sale for one pound. I did notice their delivery people, counterside, not socially distancing. I wonder if the facemask charge was a private arrangement? I am without doubt ending my entire interest in McDonald's. The Big Mac, it self disintegrated in to a soggy mess on the first attempt to take it from its carton. Glad it's all over. The End
The 5 star is because the staff were very hard-working and professional. They had a very challenging sofficjlt customer who was aggressive, intimidating, and generally very rude. The staff dealt with the situation in credibly well. I was behind the perpetrator, and he frightened me, but I felt reassured as staff dealt with the situation professionally. I want to thank th for their hard work and professionalism in dealing with this incident. The young woman on the till was very calm. Please offer them a thank you and also all staff need recognition and a thankyou gift

Mcdonalds are usually pretty good but this was the worst experience I've had in probably 10 years of occasionally going to Mcdonalds. Came in at about 10.20 on a Friday evening for something to eat quickly with my family, was told that we had to be out by 11 which was fine. Except the food (which was only 4 basic meals) took about 25 minutes to be served to us. The extremely rude female manager then said to me "you need to be out in 5 minutes" to which I replied that I had been waiting there for ages and so wanted to finish our food inside. She just replied "well just make sure you're out". To top it off we were the only people in there! Manager needs a lesson in customer service or needs to get the sack. Place was filthy inside as well, rubbish everywhere.
The service was not much impressive. Friendly staff but not responsive to a waiting customers. The girl had her back towards the front busy talking and drinking even after being told customers are waiting she continued. The quality of the food was very low. The chips smelt of a damp cloth. The fish o fillet burger was half off the bun but glued down with the tiny piece of cheese. And a dollop of tartar sauce just left in the middle of the bun. Not made with any care or consideration. Very disappointed. Will avoid visiting again

Utterly disgusting... had to wait over 15 min for coffee after ordering on the self-service.... Manager with tattoo on his hand was awful, mannerless, rude and serious hygiene issues... It's just disgusting. I have never ever seen this level of low standard and poor hygiene anywhere else. Bins were over spilling. Rubbish all over the place... the manager was standing there, cudnt be bothered.. It wasn't busy at all. It's was just poor skill... never ever again. @McDonald's how did you managed to get your standards to this lvl of low!

Wow just wow the worst mcdonalds I have been to. Firstly so dirty had to ask the staff to clean it they didn't come had to resort to cleaning it myself. Secondly ordered off the app for table service found our food just dumped on the counter. Chips were half a carton full and when we dared mention it were looked at like we had just slapped them across the face. Avoid this place needs new management or knocking down.

This place doesn't know how to put sauces in a bag after spending so much and expect me to eat 20 nuggets with no dip so my kids are all going crazy not eating it what a waste and this place still can't cook chips at all if I was the manager I would put this place on point they should at least put something in as a replacement for no sauce and there excuse is always we ran out of sauces when you phone them

We ordered nearly £40 worth of food on Deliveroo, it was all cold when it arrived and items missing: - No ketchup with the Happy Meal - No tomato dips with either portion of the cheese bites - One medium chips missing - Happy Meal came with a book when we selected a toy - No straws for the drinks This is rubbish and there was nothing we could do about it. Now I remember why we don’t get McDonalds very often, it’s sloppy.

Typical McDonalds. You take either the drive-thru or walk in and the restaurant is swamped with Uber orders and Uber drivers and the food is either cold or delayed and the staff are rude, ignorant, or are so overwhelmed they just can't cope. And it's not just this franchise...it's all I've been to in the last 12 months. I'm sorry McDonalds, you've turned from the defacto standard in fast-food to the laughing stock of the drive thru. Entirely disappointed and vow never to return again.

Shocking service. Ordered the new mega muffin. Bacon was barely edible. Girlfriend isnt able to eat egg, and lo and behold shes given a double sausage and egg muffin. Ontop of that we ordered coffees to use the points and was told we couldnt, and even though two coffees were ordered not pushed meals with the muffins as itd make it cheaper. Essentially eat here if you have no allergies, want to be ripped off and dont care just as much as the staff
Didn’t put any sauces in after ordering 4 different ones spending £19 on just eat delivery always the same issues very lazy rushed orders and the chips were half cooked as always . The managers are too lazy to even sort the staff out this is the last time I order from here on just eat what a shambles and this has happened multiple times I’m done with McDonald’s now

Big Mac Meal, Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese
Burger was as thick as leather, and the cheese was like melted plastic, and whatever they put on was tasteless.. worse burger I ever had. I'm never going to buy another burger from there again.. Chips were super thin like the ones you buy from smiths chrisps in a bag.. total waste of time, I had to go elsewhere to eat straight after . . Never again, absolute rubbish. But I guess you get what you pay for.
It was good experience, spacious and quiet

The worst drive through I have ever been to. I've been twice now and both times were horrendous. I thought the 1st time was a one off but nope, it seems this is how they operate all of the time. No cold drinks, unless you want to pat extra for a milkshake. They make you park up to wait for your order, even if its a simple big mac.

Due to Covid restrictions they were only operating a drive through takeaway option but that suited us. The meal was prepared quickly and was hot. It was run smoothly and although they were offering a reduced menu, there was enough for us to choose from. The toilets were unfortunately closed but the Co - op on the same site had public toilets on their premises
A pretty standard McDonald's, clean and friendly staff, it's fine, the food was fine, but somehow the food is better at Macclesfields McDonald's. For example, the burger wasn't hot enough to properly melt the cheese, but it did still taste good. Great for a stop off on a journey, but not one to go to if you are after that amazing maccies fix
Poor service and rude staff. Girl wearing GAP hoodies need to pay attention when they take orders, got told our monopoly card didn’t work when we had litterally just pealed it . I saw her drop the monopoly card on the floor and I think she picked up a different one.

Very poor service. Waited 45 minutes for food when people behind me were getting there orders first. Lots of staff unable to cope, trying to juggle deliveroo and uber ad well as seeing in store customers. Rude shift managers. If your unable to cope turn off deliveries until it has calmed down. Won't be coming back in a hurry
Excellent customer service, upon our arrival we were welcomed and the staff were great with our 1 year old girl. The staff were really friendly even came out and gave our girl a little teddy. All the little things make this a great little place for families. Thank you to all the staff working around 11:00 this morning! :)
Today I'm in shock. My fries was cold, they missed my ice creams and Coca-Cola from my order. Manager was confused, gave the impression that he has been working there since yesterday, but all the time with "nose on the phone" and this fluid on the floor. I hope I'll never back there again. What's going on?? …
Quick service, order was correct and made well, good warmth to the breakfast muffin, tasted fresh. Deluxe Hot Chocolate was as good as Costa serves up at less than half the price!

Just ordered a triple cheese burger, plain & no bun as I can't eat gluten. I fully accept I take a risk eating at McDonald's, but I definitely don't expect a manager to pick my burger up with her ungloved hand and take something off. That's basic food hygiene. Chips were also cold.
Far too often, the milkshake machine is being cleaned.

A good, accessible, store in the grounds of a fuel station well placed on the A34 out of Manchester. Good parking and a well organized drive thru. Small inside for seating, but enough when we visited. Good, quick service. Well managed
Lime square McDonald's Manchester has got to be the worst 1 I've ever been in. Never known queues like it!!90% of the time our order is wrong, kids setting off fire extinguisher every other day so we don't eat in anymore after being
Probable the best presented mcdonalds I've had. Only thing is all the onion was in one place and basically had it all in same mouthful and was a bit unpleasant, and not enough mayo for my liking. Still nice overall though
Fast service, even though busier than many other such places I've been to in recent weeks. Food as expected. In and out quickly so fulfilled its role as fuel stop.

Food was fantastic. Best burger in about 30 yrs. Server on departure marred it as looked bored no communication passed food out one handed no serviettes no salt no sauces. No smile. Would have been a five star
Very Bad service 8:30am, 01/12/23 Wouldn't take order on intercom at ordering booth, waited 5 minutes. Went to the cashier, very rude, asked me why I haven't ordered on intercom, explained him
Asked for no sauce, cause, allergic and they filled it with sauce rung up to complain. Cars ended up in hospital. They said it’s my own fault, even though I asked for no sauce I was in a taxi More
Hot and well served. Order took longer than it should have (10 mins). Staff preferred chatting with each other instead of preparing orders, seems a common thing in McDonald's I've been in. More
