Very Poor

Ordered the Grinch Meals with free socks and didn’t receive the socks and missing meal items. Quality of the food wasn’t very good either.
Had them delivered by Just Eats

20 minutes waiting in the drive through…

20 minutes waiting in the drive through for the last several visits. Staff allow 4 consecutive cars through who arrived 10 minutes after me. This is Talbot Green McDonald's. Absolutely shocking every time for the last few months. They've lost customers.

They forgot my food and wouldn't refund my order

I ordered on the app for delivery. Spent £18.50! For nuggets. Fries. Children's happy meal and two cokes. Only two cokes games. I asked the delivery person where the food was. He told me it wasn't his fault and I should contact mcdonakds through the app. Did this through the text got told it's in their policy not to refund me. I asked what my next steps are at complaining they ended the chat. I rand the mcdonalds in glasshoughton they gave me a number. The number said I should use the messaging service that told me I wouldn't get refunded. I used mcdonalds chat. They then responded via email and offered me one meal voucher ! It's crazy. I paid £18.50 for two cokes ! Genuinely nit ordering from mcdonalds again. They always mess my order up in someone. Plantt if other takeaways that deserve the business over mcdonalds.

Deadfening awful music

Deadfening awful music. It was so loud that the staff could not hear me when I asked to have it turned down. It was still too loud when they pretended they had turned it down.
Absolutely awful experience with my granddaughter.

Swanley kent macdonalds

Swanley kent. Asked for hot milk. They said they are not allowed to put it in. So I asked for cold milk. They can't put that in. So i had to stand there doing it myself. But if you ask for hot milk when you order, it is OK. So what is the difference. What a rubbish organisation. No stars.

Well I thought Just Eat were bad enough…

Well I thought Just Eat were bad enough for not refunding cold food or spilled drink, so I changed to the Macdonalds app that uses Uber and they have the same policy. Strange that if you got that service in a restaurant you’d get a replacement, whereas home delivery they couldn’t care a less. I’m looking up the Macdonalds CEO to see if he knows what happens with both delivery partners.

Utterly Disappointing Service

I placed an online order, waited over an hour only to receive cold, incomplete food. Contacting customer support felt impossible and the staff shrugged off my concerns. This experience was unacceptable and has completely eroded my trust in the brand.

… Pettman Crescent SE28,

I recently visited the McDonald's located on Pettman Crescent SE28, and I had a very unpleasant experience. The managers on duty, Chris (Polish) and Saki (Indian), were extremely aggressive in the way they spoke to me. I was not allowed to finish my food, as they told me l could not stay inside for more than five minutes to consume my order.
Their attitude was unprofessional and made me feel unwelcome. I believe customers should be treated with respect, and I hope this issue will be addressed.

I pay £12.77'for food at McDonald's and you want to charge me 10p for ketchup after paying that much after you took away the ability to get out own ketchup from inside the stores?
Are you for real?
No wonder McDonald's is empty. no one can afford it. I can guarantee you I put a complaint in just to waste your staffs time and get some money back on the meal I paid for.

The new mobile app is appalling!!

If you’re going to renew a mobile App why have you made such a mess of it. It’s now the most confusing app in the world. Remember the mobile app is supposed to speed up the order process! It now takes me 3 times longer to do an order in fact I gave up yesterday.
Sort yourselves out McDonald’s or the third party who you now out source this to.
