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

What do you like from McDonald’s?

If we’re doing a McD’s-BK mashup then my order would be 2 double cheeseburgers and a chocolate milkshake from Maccies with 6 chilli cheese bites from Burger King on the side 😋

DorisTheFinkasaurus · 23/01/2026 20:21

Filet o fish, fries, coke, and apple pie. Chef’s kiss.

In Spain, McDonald’s coffee with ice cream is essential.

In France, I swap my coke for a beer.

Foggytree · 23/01/2026 20:20

Quarter pounder with cheese
Medium fries
Tropicana orange juice
Apple pie at times too

This has been the same for the last 35 years

BebbanburgIsMine · 23/01/2026 20:18

Quarter Pounder without cheese
Chicken Nuggets
Chicken Selects

Coke or Irn Bru to drink, and the Apple Sprite they had over the summer was lovely

Breakfast. Bacon and egg mc muffin with hashbrown and a oj.

I ordered from MC'Donalds recently, when travelling home with my DC.

It was dire. This isn't food.

I cannot believe people pay for this shit.

I mean it is food. More so than some other stuff
chips are potatoes, salt, oil

Sauce?!

I've not had a Maccies in 25 years, if I have to have fast food I reluctantly pick a KFC over a Maccies, but if I HAD to I've often thought I'd try a filet of fish wotsit, but I didn't know it was in a sauce..

Show quote history

It’s just Tatar sauce but they always put loads on.

BooksandCats123 · 23/01/2026 20:15

Double cheeseburger
Big Mac
chicken burger
Apple pie
Diet Coke

The fillet o fish is ok but I have to scrape off half the sauce.

Only one mcdonalds in the country I live in, it is in the capital which is a 6 hour drive away, a bit far to go lol. But when I go up to visit the grandkids in Canada, my choice would be either the sausage and egg mcmuffin or the sausage egg mcgriddle no cheese on either, and a hashbrown and cup of tea for breakfast, other times I would normally get a cheeseburger with extra onion and ketchup, no pickle or mustard, and a nice salty fries with a sweet n sour dipping sauce and a coke zero.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 23/01/2026 20:00

Plain quarter pounder with cheese
Chips
Coke

Then depends on what the cheese thing is.. like the cheese bites the rest a bit disappointing

Again mcflurry depends what it is. Miss the caramel sundae

Pasta4Dinner · 23/01/2026 19:59

At a push a bacon roll or a donut. I have always found their food cold and horrible.
I did like a BK bean burger. I sometimes go to Tim Hortons and the food is hot

Goditsmemargaret · 23/01/2026 19:50

Filet ofish or a mcplant. Americano or a coke zero. If I'm very hungover a small mcflurry but otherwise no deviations.

LookingThroughGlass · 23/01/2026 19:45

Sorry, I'm a Burger King lass and mine's a Bacon Double Cheeseburger with Coke Zero.

Thepossibility · 23/01/2026 19:42

Quarter pounder and fries. I pour half a sweet and sour sauce on the burger and the rest for the fries. Occasionally a McFlurry to go with if I'm feeling opulent.

HorrorFan81 · 23/01/2026 19:35

I like a lunatic.. the only thing I ever order is a fillet o fish 😅

PinkBuffalo · 23/01/2026 19:31

I like the plant burger meal 😋

FurForksSake · 23/01/2026 18:26

For a starter 9 chilli cheese bites or mozzarella dippers.

main course a Big Mac with three chicken selects (fuck McDonald’s for taking away the spot cream dip. The correct combo is sour cream and sweet chilli alternating) and a small fries

Dessert a full size McFlurry with an apple pie smashed into it.

Drink - vanilla milk shake. Large.

Criminal it was, taking away the sour cream dip!! Best dip.

purplecorkheart · 23/01/2026 19:29

Rarely have them as none are nearby. Normally it is once a year at best if not ever two years when traveling on motorway but when there it is normally six chicken nuggets, a hamburger with extra pickle, onion and mustard and no ketchup. A medium fries and a medium coke zero or water. I also get a crap load of sauces and take most of them home and use them in pack lunches etc.

QueenKong101 · 23/01/2026 19:27

Sausage and egg McMuffin, two hash browns (one to be inserted as an extra layer to the muffin), orange juice and a flat white.

isitmytime · 23/01/2026 19:25

I gave various orders!
~ Quarter pounder with cheese, large fries and an irn bru with no ice. BBQ dip
~ 5 chicken selects, large fries, milkshake, sweet and sour dip
~ Big Mac, large fries, full fat coke, ketchup

I love McDonald’s chips but only if they’re fresh/ hot and salty.

Cheesypasta · 23/01/2026 19:25

Big mac or filet o fish meal with vanilla milkshake. The filet is good!

Breakfast: bacon and egg mcmuffin meal with orange juice and extra hash brown

cinnamongirl123 · 23/01/2026 19:24

McPlant

CaribbeanCupcake · 23/01/2026 19:22

Obsessed with the Philly cheese stack when it's out but if not, quarter pounder with chips and an oasis!
