McDonald's in Wijk 02 Almere Stad

After experiencing two malfunctions at the ordering kiosk, I ordered at the cash register. Everything went wrong there because the young man didn't know how to work it. The order was incorrect. We had it corrected, but the manager was visibly irritated and didn't even look at us. Rude staff. I'll drive to a different location next time.

It was incredibly busy here. The road was wide enough for two cars abreast. The entire McDonald's was full of cars, so only one lane was occupied. The other lane had to be shared by vehicles leaving the McDonald's lot and vehicles entering, which meant they had to overtake the McDonald's cars. And let me tell you: it was so frustrating to watch. Then, they had two poles. And only one was talking; after three minutes, the other finally started talking. And they were so slow. Then, at the first window, a stick with an ATM card came out, attached to which was a hand with fake nails at least 4 centimeters long. In the restaurant. How disgusting. We all died from the whole car. At the second window, there was another strange makeup doll that looked like she'd made it in real life, which is what they all looked like, and then there was McDonald's sweating. So we got our food. There was no receipt anywhere. Besides, the food looked like it had been thrown together. Maybe they heard us gossiping about them. There were thumbprints in our buns. The sauce, lettuce, and cheese were literally smeared on the burger, and the burger itself was really crooked on the bun. McDonald's Almere was even worse than 3) Kampen and 2) Lelystad. Almere was the number one worst McDonald's in the Netherlands. Never again McDonald's Almere!

It's January 1, 2026, and this restaurant still hasn't learned! You have a receipt number, you have a screen. They're pushing all the numbers off the board. The result is panic in the restaurant, unnecessary questions about whether they've forgotten the order. When will you learn that manipulating numbers doesn't work! Update 01-08 If you call these people by phone, they won't answer. If you're sitting in the restaurant, you'll see the manager deliberately not answering and busy on his personal phone. The entire driveway is jammed, all the way to the main road. It's time to close this location as soon as possible. And then they had a malfunction, and the manager was gone missing. All orders are being pushed off the screens as quickly as possible to stay within their timeframe.

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to file a complaint about my order today at McDonald's Almere Haven, around 9:45 PM. With my menu (combo deal in the app), I chose an Ice Frappé Caramel, for which I also paid extra on top of the price for the Happy Meal and the large Big Mac menu. To my surprise, however, I received a cup that consisted almost entirely of ice. There was no whipped cream, and the drink also seemed improperly prepared. I couldn't even take a normal sip before the cup was empty. This is not what I would expect from a product that charges extra. In addition, my burger was cold and my fries were extremely salty, which also made these parts of my order disappointing. I find this very disappointing, especially considering the price and my expectations of McDonald's. I would like to hear how you intend to resolve this complaint. Sincerely, Achanty

They're incredibly slow. Almost no customers. And I still have to wait 40 minutes for my order. Better to go to another McDonald's on the highway. This isn't fast food.

McDonald's wasn't too crowded, with plenty of seating, and the food arrived quickly. The tables could have been a bit cleaner, though.

Of the McDonald's locations in Almere, this is our "favorite." Even though my boyfriend lives in the city center, we never go to that McDonald's because of the often enormous wait times and the crowded restaurant itself. We also visit Almere Buiten sometimes, but find that the wait times are often long, the staff is disinterested, and there's hardly any tidying or cleaning. Returning to this McDonald's in Almere Haven, I think it's a shame that since the renovation (I think it was completed at the end of October), the QR codes have been removed from the tables, making it more difficult to order from your table. The new kiosks do look nice, though. Also, if I remember correctly, the condiments (sugar, stirrers, napkins) used to be in the restaurant itself. Napkins are usually placed on the tray, but you have to ask for sugar and a stirrer every time. I think it's good that it's not included as standard to avoid waste, but I also find it rather odd that you have to go to the cash register to ask for it. I'm guessing they've added tables, because now you really have to squeeze between them to sit on the bench. That says a lot more about the tables than about me. Plus: there are a lot of electrical outlets near/under the tables. We mainly come here for breakfast. Two weeks ago, they ran out of oat milk, and today there was no jam or syrup left. Since I really wanted a croissant, I asked the employee behind the counter if it was possible to get some of the strawberry sauce that's usually served on sundaes/in custard. It was allowed, and it was brought to the table promptly. The employee looked like she was only just 16, but I found her very friendly. The temperature in this McDonald's is actually quite pleasant, and the restrooms looked neat and clean (the times I've been there). The music isn't as loud as in some other locations.

No Christmas decorations, very unsociable!!!

I ordered my food from the machine like everyone else and waited longer than expected. They didn't call my name for my order. When I finally got there, they gave me the order, which was supposedly ready. I drove home, and when I opened the bag, they'd forgotten three hamburgers. Come on, it's not that hard. And at the same time, the fries were shriveled and the noodles looked like they were from the day before. Disgraceful.

Bad drive-in service, lukewarm fries, lukewarm burgers👎 I've reported this before, but they don't do anything about bad reviews here (updated December 14, 2026). It's still very bad; everything was lukewarm (both the fries and the burgers), and instead of cherry cola, we got Sprite. Dirty table upon arrival, and staff so slow that by the time your order arrives, it's even colder... all in all, this McDonald's is a place to quickly forget!

A pretty new restaurant, by the looks of it. It looked very new, though quite bare on the outside. It was just what you'd expect. And it was warm.

New update in 2025: the food is unfortunately not what it used to be. The chicken nuggets look like they've been re-fried, and the fries were ice cold. No straws were provided, and one of the sauces wasn't delivered. Chicken sensation, such a soft, soggy bun that it looked at least four days old. It's a real shame I won't be going back there anytime soon. Update: The music inside is louder than the average club. Below are the reviews from 2022. Only for that reason, now 2 stars, otherwise 1 star would have been more appropriate. I got dinner here early last night; it was a large order. But literally everything was perfect. The fries were fresh, the burgers were all hot, and the chicken nuggets were hot and freshly fried. Sauces and napkins were included. Absolutely fantastic, many Mecci restaurants could learn from this. Update: I recently got dinner here again, and it was great again! It changes from day to day. Small update: This Mecci restaurant really has a great manager. Friendly guy who keeps a tight rein on his staff. If anything's ever wrong, he'll fix it right away. Great job. Once again, Mecci's could learn a thing or two from how things work here. Small update: Mecci was picked up again late yesterday afternoon. And he's a real star at the drive-thru. Finally, someone who actually enjoyed his work. Great job!

Food arrives late, orders are incomplete, delayed

I ordered a McFlurry, as you can see, and it has two fingers of ice cream in it. It cost me almost 5 euros.

New review after renovation... No idea what the point of this is. The tables and ordering kiosks are way too close together, and the music is REALLY loud. (I'm getting old?) The entire coffee section is boarded up, and the counter is now almost level with the drive-through window. The whole vibe is no longer welcoming; I preferred the old layout.

It's been a while since we've been here. Almere Buiten is closer for us, but this time we drove past Haven. But what a disappointment! The first thing we noticed was that there were trays full of trash everywhere, making it difficult to find an empty spot (half the tables are not allowed to be used due to 1.5m social distancing). The reason for all the full, uncleaned trays was that ALL the trash bins were overflowing. Even the floor was littered with trash, both inside and outside. The very young staff brushed off any comment with, "I'm way too busy." Because you're required to be served at your table, you have to wait for your food at your table. Then (because, well, you're not going to walk twice for two trays; you put them on a much-too-low kitchen cart and then push it through the restaurant with your back hunched) a young boy literally walks past us twice with our food until we notice it's our order and we call out to him while our sign with table number is literally visible on the very edge of the table. Then things are missing from the order, and the ordered quarter pounder looks like it fell apart on the floor and was quickly put back in its box. So I walk to the counter and ask for the missing items and a new quarter pounder. I immediately complain to a woman in a nice white blouse about the mess. She immediately sends a young boy over, and (only then) the restaurant is (partially) cleaned up. "Partially," because the woman in the white blouse doesn't come out from behind her counter and the boy isn't very careful about tidying up. Therefore, she can't check on his work. I also noticed that almost all the "kids" (that's what you could call the young staff) are incredibly unmotivated. They stroll around the store with a tray, and the first thing you think is, "That ice cream will melt before you can even start!" A woman wearing a headset in the kitchen was also confronted by the woman in the white blouse about the fact that her face mask was under her nose instead of over it. That wasn't polite; "Especially not when there's a customer at the counter," were her exact words. I think that even when there's no customer at the counter, a face mask should be worn correctly! *Update December 2025*: What a shame. The Advent calendar has started. We order two Classic Burger menus at the kiosk. It takes a long time, it's busy, and everyone, regardless of their choice, gets their food in paper bags. After much insistence, I get it on a tray, and then it turns out there's no sauce and my wife's Big Mac isn't included. The excuse? Yes, it's busy. At the table, the fries are (thankfully) piping hot, but the meat on both my wife's and my burgers is literally ice cold, as if it hadn't even been heated. There's also no sauce or lettuce on my McChicken. When I ask for another one at the counter, the second McChicken also has no sauce and lettuce. Huh? The woman says, "Sorry," and walks away. I ask her to bring it to my table in the middle back of the restaurant, next to the window, because my wife's burger and the rest of our food are getting cold. Fifteen minutes later, I finally pick up my McChicken myself. This time, it's fine. I eat it in the car and quickly get out of there. The McDonald's has apparently been recently renovated. It looks nice, but without well-trained and friendly service staff, things aren't going to get any better. A fellow sufferer told me that the owner is only interested in the income, people will come anyway, regardless of the poor service and quality.

I only went into the MCDrive and it worked fine. I saw it inside once, but I don't know if that's changed. Outside, there's a spacious parking lot where everyone can easily park or even eat in their car. It's an annoyingly long drive from the highway, though. But that's just the way it is. It's a great little place in the area.

Good McDonald's, tasty food and excellent customer-friendly service.

It was a beautiful renovation. It was great to go out softly.

I actually like their breakfast and coffee. The service was good. Just avoid at peak times.

Everything cold and people are not friendly

Takeaway order #2564 2025-11-22 You order a family lunch for over €60, and you get a chicken-honey-mustard salad without the chicken and honey-mustard sauce. You order apple juice to drink and then have to look where they went. You order extra fries, and you can't find them in the bags either. FOR THE MANYTH TIME. The place has been nicely renovated, but as for the service... No improvement in 5+ years. A bunch of incompetent good-for-nothings.

It was very busy, and the fries sauce and BBQ sauce weren't included. I ordered a banana milkshake, but got a different flavor.

After the renovation, it has a fresh, more spacious look. The menu, as always, offers plenty of choices, and you can conveniently choose to have your order delivered.

I picked up my order today, and my 4 apple juices weren't in the bag. It was so nice to get home. You have to go back. This Mac often forgets something, unfortunately.

This is the third time I've been ripped off right in front of me... I got a family breakfast: 5 double egg McMuffins, and I got 4 singles and 1 double. The first time, I thought, "Okay, mistake." The second time, I thought, "Hmm, again," but the third time, I felt a bit ripped off. It's now about a 10-12 euro difference.

Lazy staff; they only open the drive-thru in the morning. They leave the restaurant doors closed. I waited in the parking lot for an hour, and when I knocked on the window, the manager came to say they were "short on staff." While staff were chatting quietly behind the cash registers. There are contactless checkouts. So the laziness lies with cleaning and preparing the food. These people don't want to work.

Just 30 minutes ago, I was at McBride's, thinking, "What a nice Mac!" Well, no way. I took off my Big Mac to remove the pickles, and I saw that a BIT had been taken out of my meat. What's wrong with people these days? Now you have to check not only your order but also your BURGERS. McDonald's check your staff! Today, Thursday, October 30th, around 11:50 PM. Please find out what's going on because this is just sick.

It says it's open but its closed

It’s showing OPEN in maps.. But, it’s closed. Because of you guys we have to go to KFC, which is NOT good

Write a bad review before they reopen. The chicken nuggets are fried, and if they're cold when you order them, they're just put back in the fryer for another half minute or so. Tough, disgusting, and lukewarm. Inedible! Chicken nuggets here are always tough and lukewarm or cold! They shouldn't start frying until they've actually been ordered. This is a disgusting restaurant.

Went through the drive-thru. It was quick and the staff was very friendly! All smiles! I went through the drive-thru again for the soft serve ice cream because it melts otherwise. Same experience again! 5 stars!

very nice manager when I ate here on Sunday.

Very disgusting. My order is usually made incorrectly, and the food is usually cold.

Nice employees, but they forgot my cheeseburger and the cola tasted chemical. Yusu, it was like they'd sprayed cleaning fluid in my drink.

Very clean McDonald’s with exceptionally friendly staff! 😊 I had ordered a drink that I didn’t like – without any discussion, it was immediately and effortlessly exchanged. You rarely experience service like this! You really feel welcome here as a guest. Absolutely recommendable!

It took about 20 minutes to get our food; it was supposed to be 4:00 PM, but we didn't get it until 4:20 PM. We ordered a Tiny Tan, but we received Pokemon cards instead.

Quickly ready, tasty and fresh, good service, friendly staff

Standard McDonald's, can't really speak of the atmosphere. Service is okay.

Although it's a personal preference, I only like the McChicken. It's called fast food, but because the wait is so long, that name doesn't really apply anymore.

The food is like McDonald's. The dirty, greasy floor and half an hour before closing time.

Great food. Fast delivery. Clean tables and chairs. It's a bit out of the way.

Good food, just like other McDonalds.

Mac is ideally located on the A6

As befits McDonald's. Oh yeah. Also very busy.

Great branch, clean and tidy and also reasonably fast.

Great location with plenty of parking and seating.

They were doing their hair, leaning against the wall and kitchen appliances, yawning into their hands. And then making your sandwich. "Delicious," and the prices are ridiculous.

They give incomplete orders. My order was missing a Coke Zero with a refill and a cookie with my coffee. They also didn't provide napkins. I don't recommend it!

Delicious breakfast. But why do I have to wait at the checkout to get a bag of food when I want to eat there?

Such a shame, a few people, I estimate about 5, and then we have to wait 15 minutes for one coffee.

What a terrible McDonald's... We waited half an hour for our food. Then we got half a Coke spilled on our order... They said they'd bring a new burger, but it didn't. Then the staff just laughed at each other, and the food got cold. Truly the worst McDonald's ever!!! Never again.

Eating the way it should be at McDonald's

The fries arrived cold, a burger was missing, and I ordered ice cream after waiting half an hour, only to have it delivered incorrectly. The cash register was unresponsive, and the number of straws didn't match the number of drinks. Not recommended.

We often come here when it's not busy yet. It's great then: the food is good and there's plenty of seating. When it is busy, things have occasionally gone wrong, but they've always resolved it perfectly. Excellent service.

Wait time is very long while they always click them away from the plate within a minute and sometimes you get the wrong food

Had Yummy McDonald's crispy chicken menu😋😋😋😋

They forget to place an order at the McDrive every time.

I waited 45 minutes for a small coke and small fries, asked for it 3 times and then it was served, I find this really unacceptable

Worst fast food experience ever! Over 35 minutes of waiting on a Monday at 3pm for four drinks!

We had to wait 10 minutes for two ice creams, and when we finally asked for them, they asked for the receipt even though we'd already told them we hadn't received one. And no, it wasn't busy! Because some women had arrived later than us and left earlier with their orders. We didn't get the impression the women at the counter were very enthusiastic about their work!

Lukewarm food, even with a number on the table, still wrong food, really an average McDonalds

As always great service and great food :)

Mail sent, response received. Mc Flurry contains 176 grams incl topping, that's two scoops of ice cream. We were allowed to get a new one. In the meantime, I've been back to Haven. We got a new one. I still think there's very little ice cream in it, 1.5 to 2 finger phalanges of ice cream. Topping also weighs a lot of course. At other McDonald's you get a lot more ice cream and on the photo of the website there's also clearly a lot more ice cream in the cup. I think that's really misleading. The ice cream is very tasty by the way. (Mc Flurry pistachio) In attachment the photo of the website and the photo of the 2 times we got an ice cream in Almere Haven. First message- I was in the restaurant in Almere Haven with my daughter and son-in-law. We ordered a Mc Flurry there. There was really very little ice cream in the cup. (About 2cm). When I asked, they said that that is the amount of ice that should be in it. Really ridiculously little and that while it has become quite expensive. Got a similar ice cream in Almere Stad and there the ice cream came to the edge. After sending an email to McDonalds themselves they said. That they can't see it in that photo. Well sorry but you can really see a clear difference!! The first photo is what is being advertised. The second photo is the amount you get in Almere Haven and the last amount is what you get in Almere Stad. I find it really strange that there is such a big difference in the amount of ice cream. It seems to me that all McDonalds should give the same. So for us never eat ice cream in Almere Haven again. I would like to receive a solution. Kind regards, Marianne

We ordered food online but third part of the order was missing. Since we ordered via thuisbezorgd, we couldn't get the missing stuff.

For a fast food restaurant that takes more than 15 minutes for a simple order without special requests, I still have some question marks. If it was very busy I could understand it, but that was not the case either. Also at other McDonald's you notice that it is no longer like it used to be that your food was ready almost immediately, but this was exceptionally long

Takes a long time to get your food

As a reward for a nice bike trip, get an ice cream. For €3.10 a grand prize for an MC flurry you would expect to find some ice cream in your carton. Unfortunately both MC Flurry's contained less than 20 ml of ice cream with a large air bubble in the middle hidden under some caramel sauce. Very disappointed

It's just a McDonald's. Everything's good - as expected.

Everything is as it should be. Only the windows in the drive through are very high. And often broken or not present. Maybe a bit short of staff. Sometimes a bit of a wait but that is understandable. Still tastes great👍

Too bad it's so difficult to reach from the A6

I dont know if this is only for this mcdonalds or all of netherlands but hamburgers here suck . i bought some cheeseburgers and and a quarter pounder and they ALL TASTE LIKE CARDBOARD . The only decent thing that was not a dissapointment was the mcchicken. Mcdonalds in Germany and Romania are 10x times better. DO BETTER .

Always have a fish burger and if it is prepared well then you know this is a good mac👍

It's a McDonalds, not a 4 star restaurant

They don't call your number and they don't ask you if your order is in and you have to take a board thing.

Great Mac With drive only because of the Floriade not really easy to reach. You have to suffer from that, but great tent

Problem with my order, the staff was very rude in handling the problem, very long wait for an empty place, two ice creams ordered = 17 mins wait, moreover the ice creams became milkshakes...

Very special, today on Father's Day we went here for breakfast and waited no less than 45 minutes for 2 breakfasts 🤦‍♀️ Very few staff present

I don't have a word about McDonald's, just enjoy it there

They forgot the bring the order. I asked the courier whether is everything inside it and he insisted that but the order is missing. I will not order again.

I saw them dragging a bum out of MC who kept saying he knew the owner. I like eating a burger with emotions. I recommend it

Fries not at all enough, ice tea tastes like something completely different. Not recommended

Fries were soggy and order was incomplete at the drive in. Can you still go inside and wait for it to be delivered?

It's a MC Donald. This branch is well maintained and clean.

Fries not cooked and way too much salt

Fries were limp, had to wait a long time, there was a mistake in the order and this was very poorly resolved by the smart staff!! Definitely not for repetition!

We had to wait a very long time, at one point I asked the manager, to which he replied we are not taking any more orders. There was nothing indicated anywhere.....that you have to ask for it I find bad. Can they put up a sign or someone at the door who says that nothing more is coming.

Long waiting times despite it being very quiet. Received the wrong order.

Slowest MCS in the world. 20 minutes for two cheeseburgers and a coffee in an empty house. Completely incompetent staff consisting entirely of children.

At 1:45 quickly to the mac not recommended! They literally give my chicken nuggets cold and tough for the 3rd time. The mc croquette sauce was more in the packaging than on the burger. And finally no napkins... too bad this is the only one open until late

They do not accept orders but that is not reported if you have to wait for 20 minutes, this service is really great

I think this is a great McDonalds! The staff is super friendly and professional. I always get my food quickly and get good help if something is wrong. You sometimes see them chatting but they are still working quickly. Sometimes I see the lobby and think what is this, but it is logical that it does not always work in the crowd, when it is quieter it is always neat in my experience! So I definitely recommend this McDonalds!

Ice cream is delicious. Unfortunately not directly on the highway.

If you want to wait a long time for standard food, take the MC Drive here.

Great service. Nice staff. Big Macs are increasingly thinking of less. Tasteless.

Just average. The toilets were very clean, though: kudos!

Food is what you would expect. However, prices have increased incredibly. It's not worth it to me.

So brazen as I ask for a straw, she says no, yes, I can drink it like that

Looked at Thunder's animals here. First we saw a fat rat in the drive and then a fox. It was a good thing, a bit of entertainment, since you apparently spend about HALF AN HOUR in the drive here on a Wednesday evening around midnight. And then your food is also cold. It really is that I almost starved to death. Otherwise I would have really walked in here and made my own fries, because boy. The guy at the drive was very friendly, that wasn't the problem. But it really shouldn't take that long.

Could be better, but you can't always roll 6.
