To ask what you like to eat at McDonald’s?

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

What do you like from McDonald’s?

2 plain hamburgers.

Im very fussy though lol. I do like their nuggets too, but can normally only manage a couple of them alongside the 2 burgers.

if taking home I don’t bother with a drink unless it’s summer and I fancy a strawberry milkshake. If eating in, a diet coke or strawberry milkshake.

In the summer I might push the boat out and have a McFlurry.

I’m definitely a cheap date though, my orders about £3/£4 🤣

Ooooh, McDonald's breakfasts are the best... 😍
Sausage and egg McMuffin, 2 hash browns, large cappuccino please.

For other meals, it will either be...
Quarterpounder with cheese, extra onions, fries, Sprite but NO ICE!
Filet o Fish (double), fries and Sprite as above 😋

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

Well done you are morally superior and healthier and sexier than all of us here's your medal 🖕

I find it really weird that BK isn’t as popular as McDs - my local one is newly opened and virtually empty. I’d always prefer the food there it seems much less processed 🤔

Expensive

then again so is McDonalds now

My son has just had a double 🍔 cheeseburger, large fries with a coke followed by a McFlurry. I eyed it up and it smells delicious. That would be my go to. Instead me and dh are sharing an Asda pizza which is still going to be lovely. We are on Mounjaro so a McDonald’s is a bit of a no no as we’ve done so well (lost over 10 stone between us). Go us ☺️

sausagepastapot · 23/01/2026 18:40

Absolutely love a fillet of fish!!

The surf and turf burger is amazing

with fries, chilli cheese bites and espresso milkshake!

(We love eating McD's abroad too, as you get a beer with your meal)

Valuable contribution to the thread there…

mumofoneAloneandwell · 23/01/2026 18:40

Mcchicken sandwich and french fries and a fruit shoot for dd, as I have Coke Zero cans in the car anyway

oo if I am feeling flush, I’ll get a banana milkshake (which I don’t think has actual banana in it, because banana’s make me sick but McDonald’s milkshake doesn’t 🤷‍♀️)

Not really the thread for you then is it

A Big Mac at a push, but what I really love is a Burger King XL bacon double cheeseburger with Mc Donald's fries and a coke

This is the most perfect order ever

Johnbrown · 23/01/2026 18:40

Nothing.

ZoggyStirdust · 23/01/2026 18:40

I’m liking all the love filet o fish

it’s my go to, but everyone takes the piss out of it!

MouseCheese87 · 23/01/2026 18:39

I only ever get a grilled chicken wrap or salad as I'm always on a diet and they are the lighter options. I save my " cheat" meals for Burger King as I much prefer it. If I'm eating whatever I want though, I get a double cheeseburger or filet of fish.

tedibear · 23/01/2026 18:39

My preference is quite boring coz I really don’t rate the food at all. I usually get 2 hamburgers (ketchup and onion only), oasis summer fruits or strawberry milkshake and chips. If I’m wanting a bigger meal I’ll sometimes get a big Mac but I’m always so disappointed so I’ve stopped getting them. Tried a mcchicken sandwhich, hadn’t had one in years and was even more disappointed. The McChicken premier was fab I don’t know why they stopped them (many years ago) along with the caramel sundae 😭 those were the days.

I much prefer a whopper meal from Burger King.

Oh and cheese melt bites at Christmas 🤤

CinnamonBuns67 · 23/01/2026 18:37

Mayo chicken or McChicken Sandwich
Double cheeseburger (no gherkins)
Fries
Chicken Selects
Big mac
Sweet Chilli Wrap
Vanilla or Chocolate Milkshake

I also like a bacon and egg mcmuffin and hash brown if I have a breakfast there. The porridge is also very nice.

tanstaafl · 23/01/2026 18:37

I quite like a mini smartie McFlurry now and again.

YesSirICanNameChange · 23/01/2026 18:37

Always nugs.

Nugs, fries, coke zero, apple pie.

I'll occasionally go for a BBQ chicken and bacon wrap.

AnonSugar · 23/01/2026 18:35

When available I would have a Big Tasty BUT what the fuck - they have shrunk it!!!

Otherwise a Big Mac with chips and a Diet Coke.

The Teeny Tiny Tasty! 🤣

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

Me too. It’s ridiculous the sauce they put on it.

BitterTits · 23/01/2026 18:36

Quarter pounder with cheese meal. Strawberry milkshake if living very dangerously.

TheSoapyFrog · 23/01/2026 18:36

Quarter pounder with cheese meal, and a cheeseburger. Drinks: Fanta or Sprite, chocolate milkshake, and a strawberry lemonade ice drink. I may add chilli cheese bites if I'm feeling like an oinker.
