Mcdonalds new ordering system
Discussion
I had my first visit to one for months and months on Monday, the Eye green branch.
Plain chicken mayo which was crispy and flipping hot and quite nice, and a large fanta which started off nice but tasted quite cardboard-ey towards the end. By the time I got 60 more miles up the road and started picking the ice out of the bottom it tasted even worse.
Noticed one has to jab around the screen alot more nowadays (log in for points, donate this, upsell that, register here etc)
Still, for £3.38 it did the job fine

I dont see wht they cant offer the deluxe versions all year round. Its not a special its just a couple of extra toppings so can be made at the same station
I would also like to see the indian chicken maharajah mac. The chicken big mac is horrible being battered patties IMO
but yes all very dull. Its making things like the great tastes of amercia 6 weeks and all that stuff they used to do look amazing

Had a double quarter pounder deluxe tonight. Decent enough but it's hardly revolutionary.
I want the grand Big Mac back...

Better still was, it was hot, the place was clean, tidy and the staff falling over themselves to be helpful.
Makes a change from some of the dumps I've been too.
That said, halfway through a chap appeared doing an inspection, most it seems on cleanliness and presentation, so might be related.
Halesowen branch. I'll mention it as it was so surprising given how far standards have slipped at a lot of them.

I put on here a month ago that they need to put the qtr deluxe back on. Good to see we are being taken notice of!
its always on, it can be made with existing ingredients if you ask nicely.pointless update from them as putting an existing extra ingredient, on an existing burger, doesn't make it a new burger.

Anyone been since they introduced the new cooking processes? Something to do with putting onions on the burger when on the grill? New buns? Less 'open time' for the lettuce etc so should be fresher?
You barely notice the difference. The buns are a bit more shiny on the big mac and quarter pounder etc is all you can really seeGastons_Revenge said:

I disagree. I had a saver menu triple cheeseburger just after the change over and it was genuinely one of the best McD's I've ever hadI had a triple cheeseburger the other day for the first time in ages as I'm not often near a McDonalds. Despite not knowing about the changes, I commented to my gf that it was noticeably hot and seemed freshly made compared to some of the lukewarm efforts of the past.
Hopefully that's the new standard and I wasn't just lucky with timings or something.
