McDonald's in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Very nice and clean hotel. Friendly staff.

Well kept dining area that gave you confidence the kitchen would have the same standards.

spent 45 mins waiting for food, lady behind the till was just stood there doing nothing, took another member of staff to come out before orders actually started coming out at least 15 other customers waiting the same time as us

Delicious, pleasant, fast and clean

3 floors with many places to seat and enjoy a nice burger 🍔🍔🍔

The lady at the toilet is absolutely inhuman she make u pay 1€ for using toilet meanwhile every other single country in mcdonalds u can just use it with the recipe. And Even if u choose to pay she goes like “only cash”. Unbelievable

I had tea and cookies, it was cheap and nice

Great experience at McDonald’s Nieuwendijk! The prices were reasonable for central Amsterdam, and the staff provided friendly, efficient service. The Big Tasty wasn’t on the menu, but I tried the Arc Beef burger instead and it was delicious

Very busy, but thats common in Amsterdam. Food is okay

Charging customers for a bathroom is absurd.

McDonald's in the center but poorly managed. The food is delivered late and in a big mess. Not clean at all, there was even hair on the tables.

They charge you to enter the bathroom, even if you've already bought something.

2nd best place to eat in Amsterdam (after Burger King)

This is unfortunately the worst and dirtiest McDonald's with the most unfriendly employees I have ever seen in the world! On top of that, I received the completely wrong order, and even when I pointed out the mistake, they were rude.

They make you wait too long when there are no customers. The staff are all unmotivated and the worst. And in proportion to this attitude, the quality is atrocious.

Bizarrely bad, a complete mess. Waited half an hour for an order, only to be told I wasn't paying attention while surrounded by tourists.

Unbelievable, a sergeant at the restroom entrance making sure everyone pays the euro. It should be free for customers.

I'm a customer who bought food here, but I have to pay €1 for the toilet... that's disrespectful.

U pay to use toilet. McDonald's plz start toilet business as u r good then food

The food was cold, we didn't get the right order, the staff wasn't great, and the toilet, which you pay €1 for, wasn't clean. On top of that, there was a mouse running around. Not a good experience.

Unfriendly staff! They mix up orders and don't speak a word of Dutch! There are mice running around the restaurant!

Compared to other McDonald's in the area, it's a bit quieter. The counter clerk, however, didn't seem particularly interested. This was also evident in the interaction.

Pay toilets even when eating in. Ordering service completely disorganized. Cold food.

McDonald's doesn't have a standard vegan option – most "meatless/vegetarian" products either contain dairy or eggs (cheese, mayonnaise) or are served with them. The McPlant comes closest. If you order it without cheese or mayonnaise, it becomes vegan (although authorities don't guarantee that traces of either are present).

It's a shame I can only give one star; this restaurant is a disaster. When your number appears on the screen, it takes another 10-15 minutes for your drink to be ready. The result: cold fries. Moreover, the staff barely speaks Dutch. Finally, they desperately don't know how to make a Big Mac; everything was mixed up before it was even served to customers.

At some point they are losing the quality they once had.

The food was not bad but it was too dirty and the staff was too few

Terrible Mac...don't eat here, the fries were lukewarm and limp...the Big Mac was on a dry, stale bun! We will NEVER come here again.

Visited McDonald's at 11pm, saw a mouse walking around on the 1st floor. Disgusting.

The manager didn't add sauce to the burger and conducted the conversation in a manner inappropriate for his qualifications. I ask management to pay attention!!!

Busy place but very fast for a quick bite

Cleanest McDonald's I've ever seen 😁

Waited so long for a just a tea!

Would give it 0 stars if I could. They haven’t a clue what they are doing. Very rude staff after 15 mins went up to ask about my order which was just coffee. She took my receipt screwed it up and threw it away before saying ‘what’s your problem’ with the most screwed up face of disgust. Then told me I should have waited which I was and they cleared all the numbers after the person at the front was high off their rocker not able to do their job complete shambles! Don’t waste your time here they don’t like the English.

Classic food, but crowded restaurant.

Grumpy workers, the food was okay, the fries came without salt and were inedible, and the woman at the counter was angry with everyone. I would never come back.

Good for a quick meal and continuing to explore the city.

The service is very slow.. 15 minutes for 2 burgers is hilarious. Not recommend at all

Absolutely ridiculous that you have to pay €1 per person to use the toilets even if you are a paying customer and bought food from McDonalds. I’ve traveled all over the world and never had to pay for a toilet at an establishment where I already purchased food or a drink.

Typical McDonald's, good and bad workers, everything quite clean

Very crowded, staff overwhelmed. Food was missing from the order and wasn't warm.

The place is a mess, and there's no way to sit at a table (but that's also the customers' fault). The food is below average by MC standards.

I didn't get a receipt from the machine, and when I pointed it out to an employee, he said he'd take care of it, but he didn't. Besides, the food didn't taste as good as it does in Germany.

They have glutenfree Burger but only 1 i saw? Also when i picked my order she screams at me GLUTENFREE in a very awkward weird way. When i was there it was quite empty, more dirty than clean but it was fine.

Having to pay a euro for the toilet as a paying customer is outrageous

Too crowded because it's on a busy street, the wait is a little longer than usual.

August 19, 2025, 2:25 PM - Disorganized, I waited 25 minutes for two ice creams. When, after lunch, I asked the employee if I could use the receipt to go to the bathroom, she rudely replied that I had to pay €1. I asked her why, since honestly, this had never happened to me, and she then turned away without even bothering to answer. I understand the rules, but not the rudeness towards customers.

This McDonald’s was out of convenience for a meal we could trust to eat with allergies. We ordered chicken nuggets and fries. They tasted fine. Ketchup cost extra. 4 levels seemed amazing but so dirty everywhere. Garbage left on the tables, floors just left everywhere. Service was slow. Lots of room to eat and the view out the window was nice. Bathrooms cost money and that line was so long.

Disgusting restaurant, they charge you a deposit even though you can take it away.

The dirtiest McDonald's I've ever seen. Disgusting.

Complete chaos. There are handy screens showing which orders are ready, but unfortunately, the staff doesn't use this system (or doesn't use it properly). As a result, at busy times, 50 people are crammed together waiting for their orders. The order was incomplete, and the milkshakes were the wrong size/flavor. I had to go back to the crowd for straws.

Kenkergang; bad entrance. Citizens are better used as doorstops; they're incredibly tough. Service? Didn't see them, only heard them yelling.

Complete chaos! The order pickup system wasn't working, so there was a crush at the pickup counter.

18 minutes and I'm still waiting for coffee and apple pie. We're not there yet.

Poor service, they don't give you what you ordered! Or they don't give half of it. When you ask them, they tell you they already gave it to you, and that's not the case!

Complete nonsense. We order at the kiosk to eat in and are given a number to pick up our order at the counter. We waited over 30 minutes for our order, even though our number had been displayed on the screen for over 15 minutes, indicating that the order was ready. We asked the staff questions, but no response... The staff member chanted numbers at will in the middle of a completely lost crowd who didn't understand their disastrous system. There was no correspondence between the number displayed on the screen and the number chanted by the staff. We'll leave you with a windfall... A disgrace. And the icing on the cake: they charged us €1 to go to the restroom!

Miserable staff forgot part of the order, then when prompted, provided food that was labelled as several hours past its discard time. Staff refuse to open toilets until midday!?

Worst McDonald’s ever, waited 20 minutes for a coffee which we never got, you had to pay to go to the bathroom which was disgusting. The lady taking the payment kept walking into the men’s bathroom and shouted at everyone.

It's a large space with up to three levels. I was passing by and bought something to use the restrooms. However, after paying, I realized it wasn't necessary to buy something, as they charge a separate fee for using the restrooms (€1). At night, the tables are cleaned nonexistent; everything is scattered.

The manager is a short woman with brightly colored hair who allows herself to be rude to customers, tell them where to stand and be in a bad mood at the checkout... not a very good example for other employees

It's just a McDonald's, and service depends on the individual employee. There were some friendly and some extremely unfriendly employees. The food also depends on the staff; sometimes everything looked great and was served quickly, sometimes everything was cold and looked accordingly.

Staff are shocking dot. Have a clue what they are doing, and not a single smile from any worker. They all look like they have been dragged off the streets, Shocking

Even those who eat have to pay for the bathroom. It costs 1 euro.

They make me pay €1 to go to the bathroom, even though one of the signs in small print says "not required." Meaning, if I just want to wash my hands after consuming something, I have to pay them to do it. I honestly don't think that's very normal. On top of that, the employee treated us like we'd robbed a bank when we asked her why we had to pay for the bathroom.

A mouse 🐀 ran up the stairs twice while I was eating.

A good meal, nothing to report!

Waited too long for simple drink but toilet 🤯 have to pay to use the toilet when you already ordered in is crazy. Do not recommend.

Worst McDonalds in Amsterdam. Nobody wears gloves and the front employee on 09/08 was very rude

Typical McDonald's, quieter on the top floor, Could have been a tad cleaner

The service was disappointing. The staff only spoke English, not a single word of Dutch. Orders were mixed up. The burger from the children's menu was completely disintegrated. Most of the staff were unfriendly, except for waitress Natalie, who tried to lighten the mood.

Coffee OK, toilet costs 1€ also for guests

They did not open at the time they supouse to and the lady frok inside was very roud and dindt let us in at 07:00am. And we found a rat inside!!

Awful service, rude staff and very long time of waiting. They didn’t even apologize for their fault and you feel guilty for coming there.

An average McDonalds, when you want something easy to order and collect whilst out and about in Amsterdam this is the place to go. Our orders were mixed up but the supervisor sorted out the issue promptly. A bit difficult for people to access with mobility issues and toilets are downstairs.

Lots of ordering stations, and upstairs floors with restrooms where you can sit. The only downside was that the fries were gone by evening. Never experienced that before.

There were quite a lot of people, but the wait was not long. It was hard to find a seat.

Besides the well-known food, the restrooms and their maintenance are particularly in need of improvement. The only enclosed toilet cubicle in the men's room was locked and didn't respond to repeated knocks. The cleaning staff also knocked again, but without response. Only after 15 minutes did the door open, and it turned out there was no one in the cubicle at all. Unfortunately, during that wait, all sorts of things went wrong, if you know what I mean. €80 in property damage was caused because the cubicle wasn't properly inspected and opened.

Didn't give me all of my order. Yall owe me a DB cheeseburger for real.

Lukewarm food. A milkshake takes 20 minutes to warm up before the food is ready. Received the wrong products today, so the food was cold.

Hygiene was absolutely zero, far too few staff for such a busy weekend. You only want to receive money and not spend anything.

Large McDonald's near Dam Square. The large number of customers makes the wait very long.

It has bathrooms, which is a welcome addition when you're walking and sightseeing in the surrounding area. Excellent service!

McDonald’s Amsterdam delivers the usual fast-food taste you’d expect… no complaints there. The machine where we ordered food turned out NOT to have a functioning credit card terminal (it was not indicated as being out of service) so we were forced to line up again at the counter just to to pay. One must be aware that using the toilet isn’t free, even if you’ve purchased a meal. It feels (more than) a bit unfriendly and inconvenient, especially for tourists or families. In addition, the toilets are not even clean. There is no soap to wash your hands. The sign outside indicates that there is a baby changing station, when all they have to offer is the wet and narrow countertop beside the sink. Lastly, while the serving staff are kind and warm, the dining area is very dirty and unhygienic and you’re better off eating take out on the side walk. If I could give ZERO STARS for service and atmosphere, I would.

I find it incredible that as a customer and consuming in the establishment, they make you pay €1 more to go to the bathroom. Creepy.

to long to wait for food. not tasty at all. they don’t give napkins in bag and straws. also thank you for free burger😍😍😍

I don't often review McDonald's, but this time the experience was overwhelmingly negative. Long wait times even though there were few customers, fries forgotten: the crew member gave them to me without any apology and with a suspicious look. The McFlurry is no longer available, but you can order it... Cash refunds from the manager who doesn't apologize either. Lots of refunds to be made, because the ice creams always appear on the kiosks. Poorly assembled burgers, very dirty dining rooms: fries and napkins on the floor, tables left dirty, with sauce, trash... Seats all over the place... In short. I ate at 10:50 p.m., maybe the staff was fed up, but the restaurant is supposed to close at 3:00 a.m.... We should keep going. One positive: the salad was plentiful and fresh! Thanks to the crew member who made it!

Classic but the only one in Amsterdam that has coffee at decent prices

Sunday, 07:14, the place still closed(open time 07:00)

It has pay restrooms. Three floors. It's very spacious and goes fast.

Once the order was delivered, I went to the table and noticed that some items were missing (salad and water). The table was not clean and there was a lot of dirt.

We were assaulted by the toilet lady even though we paid the entrance fee. Unacceptable.

Card did not work, could not enter PIN and got a warning from my bank, and when wanted to pay at counter, staff looked at me with disregard and I had to ask politely and softly 3 times… bad attitude in service maybe works for McD. Full of invasive and stubborn beggars asking for money…a typical turist spot problem… 0.70 Euro for toilet, maybe give customer QR code or something and block others ? 0.70 Euro is not much money, still s a paying Customer I expect it to be free. Anyway, bad service will be what I will remember this place for..

A very dirty restaurant, food lying around everywhere, here we work without gloves or hairnets. Customers spitting on the floor next to us. Yuck

This is complete trash! The worker, an African American, did not let me go to the toilet, he told me how hard it is for him to work here and how he does not like how everyone goes to the toilet here in the center of Amsterdam... In short, complete trash

I had food poisoning from the food i ate here. I have been eating McDonald's food since i was a child and this never happened to me before. This place is absolutely the worst. I ate veggie mcchicken with fries, so I am so confused what could have happened with the meal was served to me. Terrible experience.

I would not recommend to anyone! The place is a health hazard and the employees do nothing. We saw a baby rat run across the tables at the top floor. Multiple times. It came from the toilets and hid under the tables. We went down and told the manager, who responded with “it’s fine don’t worry, we know about them, but we just let them be there” are you serious? That is the biggest health hazard for not just the many many customers but the employees as well. I guess they don’t care about decent hygiene and their customers wellbeing. Don’t go there when there’s actively rats on the 2nd floor.

Dirty atmosphere, slow service, and a crafty customer who wanted to steal the seat even though she arrived first. P.S. There was an upstairs available instead of begging for the small space downstairs!

Long wait, got order wrong, plus the staff were so quiet you couldn't hear them over the noise from the actual restaurant

Zero, avoid, very unpleasant staff. The credit card payment machine was broken and I didn't have any change to pay for the toilets, the gentleman refused us access. It's really incredible to experience this in Europe

I’m never setting foot in this place again. We came in the morning, paid for our food, and sat down. My boyfriend had just rested his head on the table for a moment because he was tired — not bothering anyone — and yet the staff rudely snapped at us like we were doing something wrong. Who do you think you are, talking to paying customers like that? If you can’t treat people with basic respect, maybe you shouldn’t be in this business. Thanks to your rude and unprofessional attitude, this place is now permanently off my list.
