I had a medium chicken Big Mac meal with fries and Tropicana orange juice earlier.

What do you like from McDonald’s?

I’m mind blown at the number of people on this thread that order a Filet-o-fish! I’ve never met anyone who eats that.

Me neither!

I love their Big Arch. So glad it's back permanently!

I was torn between that and the chicken Big Mac yesterday. It might be my choice for next time (though who knows when that will be!)

I'd rather go hungry than eat food from there.

You do seem to pop up on every thread about food …..

Derpytiger · 23/01/2026 22:55

Plain McPlant with fries and 2 ketchups. I don't bother with a drink. I love the mozzarella dippers with salsa so sometimes if I'm passing I'll just grab some of them.

Can't stand BK the fries are dry and their veggie burgers have always sucked.

Only the milkshakes, but since I have been to Five Guys and had theirs not so much. FG are better. I don't eat any food from places like this but have been known to partake in milkshakes and ice cream.

Filet o fish all day long!

Changingnameagain · 23/01/2026 22:37

Quarter pounder with cheese and bacon
Or 5 chicken selects BBQ sauce
Fries
Diet coke

llikeyourbum · 23/01/2026 22:37

Someone has probably already said this but there’s the surf n turf burger now!! The filet o fish and a burger stacked!!

OtherS · 23/01/2026 22:31

6 nugget meal, coffee, water or lemonade. Harder to pick a drink since gave up Diet Coke, and probably don't enjoy the food as much without one. Never really have MD's anyway though, maybe once or twice a year, if that. Usually sitting miserably in my car at a drive-through, halfway through a journey. So I don't think of it as much of a treat!

Theda13 · 23/01/2026 18:28

I didn’t realise the filet o fish was so popular. I don’t know a single person irl who orders that.

Fish o fillet is nice the bread is always so soft

Catladywithoutacat · 23/01/2026 22:28

And I don’t mind the wrap of the days

MajesticWhine · 23/01/2026 22:28

I love the filet o fish. That’s it really.

Catladywithoutacat · 23/01/2026 22:28

Usually just a cheese burger, they use to have this spicy chicken burger which was nice but limited edition so wasn’t there permanently

Blarn · 23/01/2026 22:19

McCrispy with bacon and whatever cheesebite things they have. As a teen I stopped eating it out of teenage principle. But now I just think its a bit meh.

ReadySaltedSquares · 23/01/2026 22:18

I hate the burgers (my family hard disagree) however I’ll happily have nuggets/selects/sweet chilli chicken wrap without the mayo. With fries and a Diet Coke or chocolate Milkshake.

or obvs a sausage and egg McMuffin with hash brown and orange juice.

DS is furious that his fave triple cheeseburger has been replaced with a fillet o fish 😂

SSRI · 23/01/2026 22:15

I’ve read the whole thread and now need a Maccie Ds! Tomorrow it is.

20 nuggets. No sharing. Nothing else not even dip.

Shakeyshakeybaby · 23/01/2026 22:14

Big mac meal with extra sauce, onions and gherkins. Coke original.

Chicken selects

Cheese melts but they are only seasonal so a chicken mayo.

I order every Monday and eat it in bed .

Ophy83 · 23/01/2026 22:13

Big mac, fries, bbq sauce, vanilla milkshake. And the hope that dd orders too many chicken nuggets so I have to have a couple to avoid wasting food (ds would never be defeated!).

ETA dh does not enjoy McD so it is our go to treat when he's away

Look. I’m now of the firm and sincere opinion that this is a marketing exercise for the filet o poisson.

No one has even said they choose it because it’s lower carb or less calorie or less mad cow.

we are just expected to believe that you are all choosing to eat the fish? Really? Come on McDonald’s, this is a low move.

I'm surprised at the answers, I have the fish, but my name is always mud in our family when I order it as you have to wait for it.
I loved the bean burgers, but they no longer do them, I used to like the chicken selects or the McCrispy, but they've gone really spicy or our McDs is getting them mixed up with the spicy versions. I don't eat red meat and not keen on the texture of the chicken burger/nuggets, so fish it is.
Sometimes I have the Fish Finger Happy meal.

TheRuffleandthePearl · 23/01/2026 22:10

Quarter pounder with cheese, medium fries, either coffee (morning) or hot chocolate (afternoon).

WhineAndWine1 · 23/01/2026 22:10

I really want to like the big tasty but I hate the sauce. Love a chicken Big Mac oh I have started to add extra pickle to everything 🤤

NannyOgg1341 · 23/01/2026 22:09

I'm partial to a wrap of the day and an apple pie (and I will absolutely burn my mouth)

Focca · 23/01/2026 22:08

Filet o fish with extra lettuce, cheese bites (the macaroni ones were the best). Smartie Flurry. Hash browns for breakfast.
I miss the bean burgers.
