Well I can confirm that my double cheese burger with Mac sauce was a success, as was the quarter pounder with the same.

Give it a go chaps. Although the results aren't always as good as the original.
That's part of the "made for you" platform where you can customise your burgers but there are limits

Isnt it supposed to be, but ask for onions on your breakfast bacon roll & a lot of places will say "No". Cant be THAT hard to get some onions from the fridge surely!

Are you thinking of applying for a franchise?

On the odd occasion I head over to MacD's I always ask for a Quarter Pounder Deluxe - whether on the menu or not. When not on the menu, I get a 75% success rate, although I sometimes need to pay extra.

Was in Manchester the weekend, asked in McDonalds by Portland street and was told there was a secret menu.

It's getting there, where the restaurant has the Argos style ordering system is the indicator.

In response to the onion question, the whole point is that we're trying to make the ordering to receipt of food quicker. If we have to cook items specially it slows the process down.

There definitely is no secret menu, whatever you're told in Manchester. It was a spoof article written by a tabloid newspaper years ago.

Surely those 2 are exclusive-you cant have tailor made food AND be quick

That's the aim koalaski, everything's made to order and delivered quick and fresh.

One of our Ops Directors is on here but he only posts in the Supercar spotted thread, I'll direct him over here.

The only things I've managed to do on that made for you gimmick is remove stuff like lettuce and no ice in your drink which they forget anyway.

It is still quicker to order from the person behind the till.

It's been doing the rounds for years, probably decades this. There are no secret menus. Yes I'm sure you can ask for a filet of fish with Mac sauce on it, but that hardly qualifies as some underground nazi bunker menu.

And they don't listen properly either and you still get ice in your drink when you've asked for no ice!

I can't see the fascination with the Macdonalds secret menu, it would appear to be made up of items that are for sale anyway, If you want them just buy them, there's nothing very secret about it.

Used to work at mcds, can confirm there was a secret menu at managers discretion, regular requests for qtr pounder deluxe and megamacs. Qtr pounder with big Mac dressings and visa versa popped up from time to time too.

We also used to do sundae lids full of Mac sauce or the mchicken sandwich sauce for dipping your chips in.
