McDs BK KFC etc just no.

Cannot recall last McD
BK gave in last year, rubbish and "HOW MUCH?"
KFC last one that was any good 2014, but then was famished.

Max Burgare always nailed it.

they can't be using the same patty as a quarter pounder. the patty used for the bigmac is the same as those used in 1x,2x,3x cheeseburgers.
only difference seems to possibly be the bun and the use of actual onions instead of rehydrated onions.
Indeed per my op looks like a triple cheese with grilled onions! Imaginative.

Protein on the hat trick is 53g according to the app. 37g on the triple cheeseburger.

So could be the bigger patties.

good if so, at least diversifies it slightly from trip cheese

The absolute state of this and they have the cheek to charge £5.89 or £8.19 for the meal.

I'm not really one to recommend Mc'ds, but I've enjoyed the deluxe QP with C a few times now, washed down with a chocolate shake, not much to complain about.

It needs cheese above and below each burger, a la 1/4 with cheese.

Yeah I was thinking this but the pic on their own website shows a slice of cheese between each patty, so is it hidden or missing here I'm not sure??

I mean, it's so unlike McDs burgers to look nothing like their advertised after all......

the instagram picture looks like the burger was assembled up wrong, cheese is on patty 2 and 3. 2nd image was assembled right, with cheese on patty 1 and 2 but it's hard to see the cheese on patty 1.

Nothing wrong with that. Looks great - not that I eat McDonald's stuff often.

I did have the misfortune of having to get some stuff from there last week though for kids (I opted to eat something else from home). Drive through is pointless for people like me as there is no menu so I have to go inside and use the big screen thing. 10 minutes later, I have placed my order. Another 7 minutes later it arrives at a serving hatch.

Despite ordering a take away, I have to ask for a holder for the 4 drinks and a bag for the stuff they'd put on a tray. I then ask for a bigger bag as the tiny one they gave me ripped immediately. I take it home to find that 1 burger is missing.

Very different to my last experience of McDonald's many years ago (albeit only ordering for myself, to an actual person at a till, after a load of beer and not caring what they gave me).

'Chaos' at the Skegness store this morning.

I'm sure it stems from the fact they must be incentivised to clear the orders off the screens as quickly as possible.

They had 25 orders listed as 'Please Collect' and then get arsey when you ask where yours is because the order number disappears off that screen too.

Had the cheek to accuse us of ordering from a different store and then still missed 3 items off the order.

LoL.

I made the mistake of going for a McLunch on Tuesday and promptly turned around when I saw the queues down the freaking road.

Gotta say, the £3 deal is pretty decent. 8 nugs and a cheeseburger for £3. Good shout!

Saw a page on IG on some surplus food seller who apparently were selling McDs fries and hash browns (all frozen of course). Forgot to take note of the IG account or business.

Company shop. You have to be on benefits or in a key worker job to be able to join. They sell over stocks of stuff so "sometimes" they have McD fries and hashbrowns
