McDonald's in Wijk 03 Almere Buiten

The waiting time does not align with McDonald's concept.

Hard to understand, but I said we're upstairs. Okay, he said okay, but then they didn't come, so I just went downstairs, but the food was cold. I think they are very bad.

I usually don't like to put bad review, but today is an other day! Cold food especially the Bigmac The medium fries 🍟 too. And we upgraded the QP to Large and we get half filled fries in it. This is absolutely ridiculous 🙄 There is no passion in working at this frechise.

The absolute slowest MCdrive in the Netherlands 😭😂 It is even faster to drive to Almere Haven MCdrive, and unfortunately, I’m not kidding.

Promotion for pickles didn’t work out. Day 4

The chicken still had to be slaughtered, I think. They are so slow here. Anyway, the nuggets were lukewarm afterwards and no longer crispy.

The worst McDonald's there is, never get an order that's right, always the same hassle with this branch 🤮

I have never received an order correctly.. what terrible service here and unfriendly people. They don't answer the phone either after receiving the wrong order.

I received a burger without a burger, no sauce with the fries, same story for the chicken nuggets. This is ridiculous, what is wrong with this place…

Paid parking and, as far as I'm concerned, the worst McDonald's I've ever been to. I'd rather drive on to the one along the A6. It always takes an incredibly long time here, both at the McDrive and in the restaurant. The restaurant itself is dirty: the floor is sticky and tables are regularly covered in trash. Of course, guests leave their own mess behind, but it is up to the staff to clean it up on time. Fortunately, the food is often fresh, so that is a plus. Still, I only come here if I really have no other choice.

Centering sandwiches shouldn't be that difficult. Occasionally 60% of the cheese ends up hanging off the side of the bun, but I can live with that; today was crazy. 70% of the fish and cheese wasn't on the bread at all, another sandwich of ours had the cheese on the wrong side, completely covered with sauce, and another one had no cheese? None of it was according to the order, nor was it listed on the receipt. So they can't center the sandwich, but they can't even put the cheese on every bun? Truly crazy. I recommend getting a McDonald's on the highway, because that place is always 50/50, and even if you get what you want, half of your sandwich isn't on the bread but next to it.

I personalized a burger without sauce and cheese. I picked up my burger and saw that it had cheese on it. Staff took the burger back and gave me a new one, but this time with the sauce on it. If you can personalize a burger, the branch should be able to handle it. Update: visited multiple times and forgot to pack things.

What a terrible experience we had here. Ordered and waited for our number to appear on the screen. Then, after half an hour, we decided to check, only to find it had been sitting on the counter for 15 minutes. Everything was cold, the ice cream had melted. When we pointed this out, we were given really stupid looks, eventually got a new ice cream, but we were still missing salad... well, that took another 10 minutes of waiting, leaving our hot food cold. Then it was in a bag even though we had checked the 'eat here' option, so please put it on a tray; this also took about 5 minutes... after that, he bumped the tray against something, causing the fries to fly across the counter, and seriously, he wanted to slide it right back into the container; it was only because we were standing right there that he grabbed a new one. During dinner, we saw twice that guests had to clean their own tables... really sorry, but I suppose that's what staff are for.... It was busy, but come on, if you can't handle the crowds, you'd better either put in a new manager, better planning, better communication, or just close the place down. Maybe a little less staff, because they're getting in each other's way or getting in each other's way. Or they're interfering with someone else. What a disgrace... and that's not even mentioning that they couldn't tell the difference between normal nuggets and the seasoned nuggets we actually ordered... also the reusable cups you pay extra for, uhmmm the drinks were in the "normal" cups and the soda was flat. They didn't have iced coffee, so we had a chocolate milkshake... well, that didn't taste good either. No straws, so we had to get up again, and no napkins on the tray, so we had to get up again. Think carefully before you go to this McDonald's. Jeez, what a disgrace, really a shame.. And on top of that, what you pay for it... scandalously expensive....

The screen showing your number wasn't working, the staff were just grumpy. And it was way too busy. In other words, just a shitty McDonald's..

Horribly managed location. No one seems to know what's going on. Printers never work. They always mark orders as complete that are not done. Never opens on time.

Simply in one word: Shit. What a terrible McDonald's this is, I can't put it any other way.

Don't get ice cream via the drive-thru!!!! Two cars ahead of us and it took 20 minutes before we got our McFlurry. By then it had melted. This is the second time this has happened. Bad business. And yet we fell for it again! Over a year later... This time no ice cream, just some burgers and nuggets. The order was incomplete; all sorts of things were missing, and the banana milkshakes had a vanilla flavor. The food was cold, but that's not surprising when you have to wait over 25 minutes. Now it's certain... never again the Mc in Almere Buiten!!

Always chaos at this MC, order incorrect and takes a long time

We had to wait a very long time, then the orders went wrong, which made it take even longer, and we didn't receive the full order. The food was cold and the ice cream wasn't made properly, so I got everything all over me when I took the lid off.

Incredibly long wait times. This isn't my first time at this place, yet I've been waiting over 10 minutes for two cups of coffee.

You wait an hour for a simple order. And what you get is something else. The inside is dirty and the atmosphere is awful.

The kitchen is incredibly slow. Slower than any McDonald's I've been to.

Dear McDonald’s Customer Service, I would like to report a very unpleasant experience at McDonald’s Almere Buiten, Montrealstraat 120, on 15 September 2026 at approximately 11:00 PM. We are tourists and do not speak English fluently, but we were doing our best to communicate clearly. We ordered 3 Happy Meals and 2 Filet-O-Fish meals. The employee was extremely rude and impatient, telling us to come to the window because she “didn’t have time for this.” When we repeated the order at the window, she became angry and made a comment about having a “big mouth”, which we found extremely disrespectful. We calmly explained that we were simply tourists trying to communicate. We understand that language difficulties can happen, but we expect basic patience and respect from McDonald’s staff. I would also like to make clear that apart from this incident, everything else was excellent. The food was very well prepared, fresh, hot and everything was correct with our order. We were very satisfied with the quality of the food. Our complaint is therefore solely about the employee’s attitude and the way we were treated. I would appreciate it if this incident could be investigated and addressed with the restaurant manager. Kind regards

Everything is super, I recommend it.

Forgot the fries sauce and almost no sauce on the spicy mchicken

Unfortunately, I have had a very bad experience several times at this McDrive in Almere Buiten. The waiting times are truly unacceptably long. Even for a small order, such as just a cappuccino, you sometimes have to wait literally 15 to 20 minutes. The whole idea of ​​a McDrive is precisely that you can order something quickly and drive on. If you have to wait almost twenty minutes for just one drink, then as far as I am concerned, something is really going wrong with the service and organization. Hopefully, this will be looked into seriously, because this way, it is no longer "fast food" to me.

I ordered at this McDonald's and the wait time is listed as 30 minutes. Now I'm standing there waiting and I see that he's arriving at 15:45, so I think, great, nice and quick. Now it goes from 45 to 16:00, so I think, okay, a bit weird, fine. Now, an hour later than I ordered, he's still going upstairs and I've been waiting for 1 hour and 10 minutes for 4 burgers and 2 fries.

I have never been helped so slowly and poorly. What a disgrace. Not recommended!

Worst McDonald's in the Netherlands, filthy place.

Long wait, it wasn't that busy. Staff more occupied with their friends than with orders.

Terrible restaurant, you don't get the extra sauce when you order it, it always takes a long time and the staff is not friendly or they don't understand you due to poor Dutch.

The food is okay. Just really always check your orders.. arrived home with too few items too often.

Good McDonald’s, great service and friendly staff. Always quite fresh food.

This place never opens on time. I often go there in the morning when they open, but I have to wait constantly while the employees smoke cigarettes and drink coffee. They aren't ready to start until 8:30, even though the official opening time is 8:00. It is a terrible place.

Orders are rarely correct. I have never seen a toilet so dirty at McDonald's.

The service is bad. 3 out of 6 ordering kiosks are completely defective. 2 out of 3 working kiosks did not issue receipts after ordering. The Oepe is also terrible at the drive-thru. Nowadays, the McFlurries are also very meager and made without love. Fruit flies everywhere.

The place is terrible. Earlier I complained about a lot of mistakes in orders, but now it is even worse. Employees are making scandals. One smashed paper cup of cola all over me just because she got angry arguing with her manager. And overflowing trash cans are topping the atmosphere.

The food is terrible, instead of 8:00 they opened at 8:45, they don't feel like working!

One of the whorst McDonald i ever was

The place was supposed to be open at 08:00 AM… i waited until 08:22 and still it did not open.

The food is fine in the morning, but when I usually arrive at 8 o'clock, which is what their site says they are open, they are still closed every time. But again, when a company is supposed to be open at a certain time, you expect that.

Everything takes a very long time, really extremely long. Additionally, you even have to pay €1 for the toilet if you have a receipt...

The toilet was covered in shit, you go upstairs and they are out of order. I pointed this out, but he just said, "Oh yeah, annoying people these days..." Just waited half an hour for 3 ice creams. The burgers were piling up and you could see the staff were complaining. No one was being served at the checkout anymore, no one was wrapping orders. In front of me stood a couple who had been waiting for their food for an hour. Unbelievable! All the trash was on the floor, trash cans overflowing.

The restaurant itself is filthy; no clean tables or chairs. The trash cans were overflowing. Homeless people were just sitting inside begging from customers at the tables. The toilet and the downstairs restroom were covered in shit; the toilets upstairs were out of order. And when you report it to the manager, you get the impression that he doesn't care. The only thing he said was, "What dirty people you have." But he didn't put up a notice in the downstairs restroom. I am never coming back here.

I couldn't do a price check for Big Macs this time, but they seemed cheaper than in Spain. I think a set meal was around 5.95 EUR.

Everything takes a long time; I'm standing in line to order. It takes forever outside. After paying, I had to wait 10 minutes before I could drive on. Terrible.

Paper in the burger and it's old food

According to the opening hours, they were supposed to open at 8:00, but at 8:15 everything was still locked. The workers were already inside, though.

Horrible service, so they forgot my order, so I had to ask them where my order was. No apologies, very uninterested lady didn't respond to any of my questions whatsoever. Very bad experience, and this was not the first time at this location.

It takes a bit long if it's a bit busy and you order inside.

I feel that you often work carelessly. I have experienced on several occasions that you do not take orders correctly. And you often forget to provide drinks. Please check the receipt carefully from now on to ensure you give everything to the customer!

Worthless business. Very poor service.

We ordered a McChicken and a McChicken menu at the drive-in. When we got home, we had only received the McChicken menu and not the individual burger, so as a result, one of us didn't get a burger. Additionally, the burger turned out to be very dry.

I grabbed a cup of coffee at this McDonald's today. My first impression of the interior was dirty. Food scraps on the floor and on the tables. Trash cans full. I didn't get a good, hygienic impression of this location. Additionally, the wait time for a simple cup of coffee is far too long.

Worst McDonald's in Almere. Waited 25 minutes for 2 McFlurries that were then only a quarter of the container filled with ice and with barely any sauce. Rude employee at the checkout window as well.

My husband comes home with 2 McFlurries. There are 2 scoops of ice cream in them and 3 scoops of M&Ms and Maltesers. And 1 drop of sauce. Well, that's really unacceptable. And you pay 4.50 for that.

The worst service and the worst staff. Every time order is messed up and waiting time unbelievably long.

Food was nice, but on the screen it says two burgers but me and my cousin got one, we needed to share the burger in half. And btw the burger was a chili burger. Also the place was an entire mess, messy all around the place. The cost was worse. 1 burger one fry and I drink was 6 euros. At kfc you can get much better.

Im staying in drive true for 40 minutes . I came from Canada and in my hole life I never stay in line that much .

Just went to the drive-thru at McDonald's late at night, 11:00 PM. Just stood waiting for 40 minutes. So incredibly busy. Not fun anymore. I'm still not happy.

Worst mcdonalds in netherlands. The waiting time for just one burger is insane. Then when i finally got it, it was cold. Dont go here.

At McDonald’s Almere Buiten, there was literally an ant in my cola. That alone is incredibly disgusting and unacceptable, but it was made even worse by the reaction of the staff and the manager. When I reported it, the manager blithely stated that he “can’t do anything about it.” Truly unbelievable. No apologies, no taking responsibility, and no offering of a decent solution. That really says it all about how this branch handles hygiene and customers. Additionally, the wait time was long, the food was lukewarm, and the restaurant itself was not exactly clean. Tables dirty, floor sticky, and chaos everywhere. You expect a minimum standard from a large chain, but that was nowhere to be found here. If there are insects in drinks and the manager apparently considers it normal, then something is seriously wrong. Absolutely not recommended!!!!!!!

What worthless service!!! I walked in at 10:55 PM (apparently the indoor section closes at 11:00 PM). 1st screen, printer broken. 2nd screen, unresponsive. 3rd screen works, I can finally make my choice, but before I can choose, all the screens go blank. I ask for an explanation at the counter; "Yeah, that's right, you can't order anymore." And now what? I'm already inside, was already ordering, the employee starts laughing and says, "Oh well, tough luck." Realize that the drive-thru is still open until 2:00 AM!!! What worthless service and terrible customer treatment. I am never coming here again! Where is this world heading!

Dramatically bad branch. 'Managers' and employees are very unfriendly and service is practically non-existent. You typically wait at least half an hour in the drive-thru only to receive cold food, and half of your order is always missing as well.

Due to Google policy I can't say everything, so I'll just say it this way: always incomplete orders, rude and arrogant people working there, as slow as a sloth, and the managers aren't much better.

They are terrible to serve at the table, and that at a small McDonald's at that; it is bad service at McDonald's Almere Buiten.

Ordered Meatless Crispy Chicken, received the regular version made with real chicken. It did, however, come in a box intended for the vegetarian version. Initially, they refused to give a refund and wanted to make a new one. After persisting, I eventually got my money back. Very unfriendly attitude from the staff. Not a word or a look too much, let alone an apology for serving chicken under the guise of vegetarian. Absolutely worthless.

Overall a great restaurant service can be a bit slow but thats normally during peak hoursm the drive thru guy is extremely nice and really quick with ordering he speaks amazing English aswell.

There are table signs, but the system is turned off. They are lazy.

Paid parking q park app doesn't recognize that since when can't you park for free at the MC Donald's got scanned by the scan car drove past twice within 5 min while I was paying at that parking payment terminal rip-offs

Open late. They should open at 8am and doors are still closed at 8:35. I do not recommend.

Truly the worst McDonald’s I have ever been to. Seriously, how can it be *that* bad? I had to wait a long time for my order, and then it turned out they simply didn't even have things in stock. But was that resolved properly? Of course not. When I wanted my money back because I literally didn't get what I paid for, I was served by a manager—a short woman—who just laughed at me out loud. At first, I thought it was a joke, but no, apparently this was “service.” I have never been treated so disrespectfully in a restaurant. The food I *did* get was cold and tasteless, the fries were soggy, and the whole restaurant was filthy. Tables sticky, trash everywhere… truly disgusting. This has nothing to do with fast food anymore; this is just pure chaos. Save yourself the frustration and NEVER go here.

From the staff 2 are working 6 are walking around, 4 people in the mac and it takes forever to make a order.

We had a delicious meal; the spareribs simply fall off the bone! The carpaccio was also delicious! The staff is friendly and polite. Even though we were the last to leave, we weren't rushed out. We will definitely be back here again!

Always terrible at the drive-thru. I’ve literally been standing in line for fifteen minutes now and haven't even ordered yet. 5 cars in front of me. For 15 minutes already. No movement... not surprising either. The last time I was there, no one even responded at the drive-thru, so I just went inside to order. This isn't the place to go for a quick bite by car. Absolutely the slowest McDonald's I've been to multiple times, and they don't know how to answer the phone either.

We're currently sitting here surrounded by a lot of noise coming from a music box in the kitchen. Weird hip-hop, unfriendly. Food thrown in a bag even though you said you were eating here. For the second time in a short time, it was really bad. I didn't dare go to the toilet, it was so dirty.

Complaint filed but received no response

Milkshake was frozen.. friendly staff

Poor service, and it's standard practice to not get McFlurry or milkshakes late at night. Supposedly because the machine is always broken.

Delicious food freshly prepared and friendly staff.

A very nice cashier, I think his name is Rob. Thanks for the great service.

Had to wait over 35 minutes for 2 simple burgers and nuggets. 🤷🏼‍♀️

When you order a menu you get a coke that is probably old, so dirty and nasty, tastes like cardboard and is still warm, just sad.

McDonald's in Almere Buiten is terrible. We ordered two McFlurries with pistachios, and they forgot the pistachio cream. We called the branch, and they just hung up on us every time. We filed a complaint, and nothing was done about it. I understand it's McDonald's, but this service is incredibly bad, and you should get what you pay for.

The food is top notch, really great, service often takes a long time or your number is suddenly gone and you don't get your order, the atmosphere is great

We just got two McFlurries Pistachio at the Mac Drive in Almere Buiten, when we got home there was no sauce on them, just soft serve with crunch, we also tried calling, no answer, never going to the Mac again!!

It used to be a good idea to go to McDonald's for a cheap meal, but that's no longer possible these days and even if everything is gone, you can still eat more.

I waited in line for 40 minutes. During that time, an employee came outside three times, eventually even placing a pole behind my car, which literally stuck me in the middle of nowhere. Once I got to the intercom, after all that waiting, I was simply turned away, claiming the system had already been disconnected. Completely unacceptable. No explanation, no warning, and no effort to resolve the issue. Making customers wait so long and then dismissing them without mercy is disrespectful and downright poor customer service. Certainly not the service you should expect. Absolutely not recommended.

Very bad McDonald's in Almere. And it's a shame that the head office doesn't do anything about how bad things are going in Almere. I've been there every last month, during both quiet and busy times. I always had to wait a long time. I thought it was fast food, but it was more than half an hour. 45 minutes, and the team leader doesn't do much either. So I won't be going to McDonald's. Luckily, there's a real snack bar in Almere that's cheaper, tasty, and fast fast food. There are people working there in a good team, and McDonald's can learn a lot from them. Never again, Big Mac. And yes, it's all about money, not about quality, cleanliness, or customer service. McDonald's doesn't know anything about it. Update: After 4 years, nothing has changed. I don't understand why the head office doesn't do anything about it.

We had a drink here. It was easy going for a warm drink.

Things always go wrong with large orders at this McDonald's. Often, it ends up being cold by the time you get home, even though you live just five minutes away. I always check my order before I leave, and 10 times out of 10, I have to go back to the counter because it's wrong. A plain plate has sauce on it, or it's missing exactly what should be on it. Or maybe an entire menu is missing. They don't make a fuss, but it seems out of place to me that your order is always wrong and cold within five minutes.

they keep missing and forgetting things. today was the last straw! they wrapped a regular cheeseburger in a wrapper instead of a double cheeseburger! the order was on McDrive and by the time we saw it we were already far away. you have a lot of bad reviews like this. finally pay attention to this!

Update: Does the drive-thru ever get an order completely right? Ten times the charm? They rarely open on time. It's 8:30 and they're still closed. The drive-thru is also supposed to open at 7:00. Change your opening hours then! That's terrible!

Fine, just a normal establishment.

Took a very long time and it was even cold and they didn't know which order belonged to whom, bad

Quick service, fresh food, and delicious. Note: paid parking is a deterrent; I won't be back. Food is expensive enough as it is. €7.05 for one hamburger, sauce, and medium fries. It's gotten so expensive! Parking at the KRC (next door) is free.

This isn't my first visit, and today is my last. The staff is incredibly slow and I've never seen anyone more unfriendly. I was the only one who placed an order, and mine took 5 minutes to be processed. It's always like this here. When I asked for my coffee, she said my order wasn't ready yet, to which I replied that I wanted hot coffee, not cold, when it was ready. Then she simply threw my order on the tray without a word of apology for the delay or thank you for the order. If it were done with respect, I'd understand, but I'm the only one who placed an order. Teach your staff some politeness.

I'm going to call the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority for you. You're not even allowed to offer food that cold! I'm so done with McDonald's because of you! I just hit that star, otherwise I can't post anything. You can leave here as far as I'm concerned. You're worthless!!

This is such a terrible branch. I tried to reach them by phone from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and they either hung up on me every time or didn't even answer the phone. Who is the manager here, and why haven't you got your act together? Then the order was wrong. The food got cold... I can't wait to get it right. Bye bye appetite. You think you can just make a quick order after a hard day's work, and this is what you end up with. If you can't even handle fast food, you've really sunk as a company. Never come back.

Clean restaurant with friendly staff! Special thanks to Batin, who helped us quickly and efficiently!
