You know what you're getting—not much for a lot of money—but you're going there yourself, so nothing to complain about.

The Quarter Pounders and cheeseburgers were served fresh from the fridge, even though the order had already been on its way for 12 minutes. Next, we had to wait 14 minutes for two McFlurries. It was around 4:00 PM, so it was absolutely not busy. Additionally, I am having trouble getting used to the new interior: it looks very cheap, uninviting, and above all, 'vandalism-proof'.

Yesterday, I made a quick 'pit stop' here, so to speak. Ordered 9 chicken nuggets and an iced coffee at the takeaway counter, went to the restroom, and then stood waiting for another fifteen minutes. So, in total, it took them about 20 minutes to get it ready. The priority was clearly on something else, which I suspect included training new employees. I have never seen so much direction from a supervisor at a McDonald's directed at employees wandering around lost, so I do have respect for that girl, but good heavens. I would avoid this Mac between 4 and 7; this was ridiculous.

Waited 50 minutes; it wasn't even busy (around 11 a.m.). The card machines don't print receipts, then all the numbered signs are at the cash register and you have to tell the staff that that isn't very convenient (because then no one knows where you are). While waiting, we also saw several trays sitting on the counter for well over 10 minutes; that isn't exactly conducive to the temperature of the food/drinks either. Then the order is partly cold; you order a burger without lettuce, but you get one with lettuce and without sauce. Perhaps it would be a good idea to actually train the staff; this came across as very clumsy.

They say they don't have a lid, don't offer a solution, and slam the drive-in window shut right in front of your nose. So much for customer-friendliness over there.

Ordering at the kiosk was easy. However, the scan to collect points kept refusing to work. The option to enter manually was missing... a shame. The food arrived quickly, the fries were nice and hot, but the hamburgers, on the other hand, were lukewarm. The trash cans were overflowing; everyone subsequently placed their trays of rubbish on top of the collection bins. Strangely enough, the staff just kept walking past.

It seems very logical and smart to me to only scoop two soft ice creams when it's our turn at the McDrive. No, they were already ready two cars ahead of us; we were just sitting there watching. And when I say, "Not smart, is it? The ice creams are already dripping," the manager says, "That's because it's hot weather." NO, that's because you scoop them when two waiting cars are still ahead. They aren't exactly bright there, and I didn't get any other ice creams either.

The fries were soggy; the third batch of fries that was supposed to be brought never arrived. The burger was delivered incorrectly. When we pointed it out, they weren't happy about it. After that, the burger wasn't brought. Chicken buggies were too short in the tray, and there was no straw with the milkshake. To make matters worse, we were sitting in the covered area where people were vaping, which was not being done with. Never again this McDonald's. Total disappointment here!

I had been here with my sister and my parents. We hadn't ordered a huge amount or anything super complicated. Still, half of it was forgotten. And the employee we told this to responded with: 'Yeah, I don't work in the kitchen,' in such a very arrogant tone. Many others who were in the restaurant at that moment were also complaining about the service. There was a couple who waited half an hour for their drinks. Two cups of cola with ice. This is just pathetic. Very bad.

Normally great experiences here. Unfortunately, today was a bit less pleasant; I stood in the McDrive (at the front) for about 25 minutes this morning for a few McMuffins. I suspect it's understaffed, so I'm not going to complain about it any further like the car behind me. One bad experience doesn't make all the other experiences over the past 20 years bad. I did expect some kind of apology when I finally got the food. Anyway, I'll probably be back next week anyway, so see you then!

Apparently, it was too busy. The paper order machine was out of stock, so we didn't get a receipt. We didn't get the World Cup cups for the milkshake we ordered. They were sold out. We also had to ask for the sauces because they weren't included, even though we had ordered them, and we received a small portion of fries instead of the large fries we ordered, and that for 66 euros.

Ordered a McSmart Menu with 2 cheeseburgers without onion and mustard. Received no ketchup or pickle with either, but did get onion and mustard. And on top of that, we also paid for fry sauce that we hadn't even ordered. The fries with the McSmart Menu were cold as well. The wait wasn't even that long. I think they just hand over old orders. Scandalous. And we weren't allowed to return it because we didn't have a receipt. Which we hadn't put in the bag with the order. Absolutely the most scandalous McDonald's I have ever seen.

I don't know if the branch manager here fully realizes the state of affairs. There is a trail of trash at the entrance before you even enter. The floor is greasy everywhere and the tables are dirty. The self-checkout machine keeps beeping all the time to indicate that the receipt is empty. When you are at the checkout, everyone is staring at you, but no one will help you. Table service is not available either. It has been better in the past. Understaffing doesn't seem to be the issue to me if there are so many staff members in the kitchen.
