Verdict

Customer sentiment regarding McDonald's leans heavily negative, with widespread frustration directed at inconsistent food quality, order inaccuracies, and declining restaurant cleanliness across various locations.

received bonus points offer via apps, made purchase as normal but did not receive bonus points. i believe it is a system error then contact mcdonald's customer service team by emails for a few times to discuss, received 3 times confirmation from their team by simply copy and paste the terms and conditions wording about my purchase is not qualified… Read more

items. firstly, the terms and conditions they have quoted does not specify my purchase is not qualified, but every time service team just copy and paste and wording without investigations. they work for Maccas service team and customer is relying on their information, at least they should provide correct information. otherwise, i believe a robot will do their copy and paste job. most important, i have purchased same items before and system sent me confirmation email for bonus points achieved which is an evidence showing my purchased items is qualified. but mcdonald's customer service team refuse to take service team's responsibilities to help and still providing incorrect information to close this matter. very bad experience, mcdonald's customer service team should review this matter if they are really want to providing 'customer service' job.

Sick of it, McDonald's is not fast food and it's not cheap Kilsyth McDonald's have got to be among the worst in Australia. Slapped together burgers, wrong things given, missing other things meant to be in orders, the place is cold and uninviting, they're incredibly slow? Like the place wasn't even busy and we waited 30 mins for cold food like.... Dude my burger was $17... And I had to re assemble it? Show details

Where's the food? Normally they don't put in sauces but charge you or leave out a burger, never do you get more! But now they give you the packaging without the food. This is what you get for ordering a large fries! Show details

This experience was not amazing because the shake machine dripped all over the floor and no one was cleaning it they all just starred at it. This could have been a trip hazard and led to an injury! We also witness a chip fall to its death into the puddle of strawberry shake! This is unacceptable because the chips have done nothing against us!! The… Read more

person calling the orders wasn’t calling out the order numbers they would just leave your order and push it to the front! We feel sorry for the chip!! This was our 2nd disturbance at this particular McDonalds and we hope they do better next time we visit them for a better review!!

Currently I order chai latte coffee( 2 cups) Very bad taste. I come Melbourne in year 2023 and it was great experience with McDonald’s at different stores but from past few months, I am asking staff for proper good taste of chai latte but taste is very bad as compared to privious ones.

McDonald's has priced itself out of the takeaway market. Its main competitor, Hungry Jack's, is cheaper for comparable products. Moreover, Hungry Jack's buns are larger. The local McDonald's also puts a dollar surcharge on all prices because it can. This is a weird policy. Customers know this, and go a kilometer down the road to the other McDonald's branch. Show details

Ordered a cheeseburger and received it without the bun. The chips were cold and soggy. Mistakes can happen, but it was disappointing to receive an incomplete meal and food that clearly wasn't fresh.

Went to Maccas on Thomas Road in Kwinana I got a deluxe quarter pounder. The description states it should have ketchup mayo and mustard. 3 slices of tomato and lettuce. I get mine without pickle and onion just to be fair with the photo. So the burger I was given had one sad piece of tomato, a whisp of lettuce and no mayonnaise as listed. But… Read more

please read the description they provide of their burger then see the sad thing that I was given that does not resemble what I ordered at all.

It’s like these places have no respect for customers anymore. Like we will just accept the slop we are given that is not what we paid for!

Shame on you MacDonalds

Very sad to encounter such a horrible incident. A rude manager/worker was being extremely rude towards teens. Not prioritising my order and purposely ignoring my friend and I’s requests to receive our cone. This order took a total of 15 minutes compared to others who had to wait like 1 minute. They were very aggressive towards me and my friend.… Read more

All because my friend was saying to me “Pleaseeeeeeeuhhhhh I want my ice cream” She has a loud voice and it is a bit hard to control it. Anyways, she was saying “a child is screaming out for their order, they will get last priority.” Which they didn’t mean to scream and they left shortly after. Then I was there waiting another 5-7 minutes and kept staring at me, I am very shy btw and have extreme social anxiety. This is very disappointing and she deserves a punishment. Also the place is very messy, very badly managed and poorly cleaned. Absolutely shocked on how rude she was.

I’m a 52 year old man in Melbourne. I worked at Maccas for a couple of years in high school in the early 90’s. The same time I had my first girlfriend. My first…well…all sorts of firsts. That was a magic time. And McDonalds was part of that. But -… Read more

much like my hair, and my youth, and the grunge era, and all sorts of other high times - THAT McDonalds is long gone.

You know it. I know it. Australia knows it. The world knows it. See - the thing about every single demographic is this - many people might be st^pid - but paradoxically - at the same time - no one is st^pid.

Everyone knows a loss of value and quality and service when they experience it. The corporate choices that have been made over the years have permanently severed the trust that McDonalds had with its customer base. Forget the health concerns, the supply controversies, the fair wage scandals - the very proposition that made McDonalds has been stripped away and what is left is a shadow. If there was a hope that younger generations would continue to provide revenue after older customers who have experienced so much better have lost all faith - that has been very ill-considered. Messages always pass on down, as oral tradition always has. McDonalds is finished. And the last decade of execs sealed that deal. You really screwed up, guys.

No one is lovin it. Rest in peace McDonalds. We miss what once was. This current iteration is only a very poor facimile - the fast food version of AI slop.

 Follow-up  · Still not loving it. How clueless. Selling a $15 burger which is NOT cheap and no longer fast and worse quality than ever, sold by kids without a smile on their faces and why would they at those wages? McDonald’s used to be about the experience, price and convenience, it was never about the food which we all know is average. Now all those… Read more

Whitfords anymore as our truck can’t fit under the low roof and pipes hence delivery. Can you consider your timing of meals better.

 Follow-up  · The food was cooked as soon as I ordered and he did not pick it up up til half an hour later. Time on the app kept changing since he was not contacted till much later. The order was correct, packaging was fine but again meal arrived cold. App clearly stated that they started prepping food as soon as I ordered but driver wasn’t added to app for nearly half hour later. Took him five minutes from pick up to home.

I had no problem with the food at all but I had a mix up on the order and only received the fries, nuggets n drink but nothing else so I… Read more

rang the store that I purchased it from the lady took down my details and told me to come in the next day to collect it. Went in the next day and there it was my meal, friends figurine, big mac, sweet n sour sauces and free chips and large coke and an apology from the manager. Well done to the workers for being honest about a genuine mistake! Hats off to the employees too they were very kind and helpful aswell.

IT IS HORRIBLE!! do not go maccas I ordered a 6 nugget medium meal for my child the drink being sprite. When I had gotten our food we drove home to eat it. We opened the bag we pulled out a medium chips- good but cold, a sprite so we thought- looked normal but was not sprite just sparkling water, then we pulled out a fish burger witch was weird… Read more

since we had not ordered a fish burger. We go back into the bag trying to find the nuggets to find nothing. We ringed them up my child sad and they said we could get a refund and stay at home or go up and get it replaced. I was upset as it was there mistake not ours and we had to go up and get what was our order so we demanded it to be ordered to our house because it was there mistake and they were having none of it. Over all it was so bad never getting maccas for my child AGAIN!!!

Absolutely appalling. This has to be one of the worst-run McDonald's I've ever dealt with. The quality control is non-existent, and it's obvious management has no idea what's going on. My order was wrong, items were missing, and instead of simply fixing the mistake, I was forced into a ridiculous back-and-forth over multiple emails just to get a… Read more

refund. Customer service was frustrating from start to finish. The fact that staff can't consistently prepare an order correctly says a lot about the lack of training and supervision. Customers shouldn't have to double-check every bag before leaving or chase a refund because basic standards aren't being met. If you value your time or expect to receive the food you actually paid for, I'd avoid this store. There are plenty of places that can manage the bare minimum—this McDonald's clearly can't.

I don't expect decent food from any Maccas and so I rarely bother. However someone told me about the McSmart Meal with 2 burgers in it. Apparently you used to get 2 burgers but not any more, they have significantly watered down the deal. I got a small drink that was 60% ice, a small bag of barely warm chips, some sort of burger that was just ok… Read more

and three things that were supposed to be nuggets but had no resemblance to chicken that I could tell. They were awful mush! For this they also increased the price by a dollar and gave us one straw for three drinks.
