Order Accuracy

Pros:

  • "The food here was wonderful as always the service by the staff is as good as it has been for ages."

  • "I was served after about 5 mins waiting and received my order approx 5 mins later."
  • "I especially loved the new self-order kiosks, which made ordering so easy and convenient."
  • "Having just been thoroughly overcharged and then given not even half our order by Burger King, we refunded and went to McDonald's! Food was less than half the price, didn't take anywhere near as long to arrive and the staff were great =)"
  • "Credit to the staff for the speedy service despite how busy it was."
  • "Good staff. Beware of egg shell in breakfast items, although it has only happened on one occasion and staff were nice enough to replace the whole order."

Cons:

  • "Every time, without any exaggeration, that I go to this specific McDonald's they either forget something or they don't give you what you have asked for."
  • "Waited 40 mins on order and part of it was missing."
  • "Couldn't even get the order right after waiting 20 minutes for it."
