What is the best MCds burger?

Aside from the fillet fish obviously. A CRIMINALLY underrated burger.

We also have a Dijon mustard chicken burger here that is fantastic (which is a good fillet fish meal chaser!)

I’m quite partial to a Big Tasty when they’re on. I do love a Filet O Fish and they are criminally under rated but they are a little dinky if I’m starving.

I used to quite like the different Taste Of The World burgers they used to do but I think they’ve stopped that a while ago.

Place marking here so I can play the fun game of McBingo: everyone someone comments something along the lines of 'I much prefer cucumber and hummus', I eat a McNugget from my sharebox.

McPlant.

The McSpicy is pretty tasty

Hardlyworking · 21/05/2025 16:07

None. So so much better burgers available at many other places. Unless you're very poor or a bit dim I don't understand why you'd buy a burger at McDonald's.

Devilsmommy · 21/05/2025 16:07

Triple cheeseburger every time😁

minnienono · 21/05/2025 16:08

Quarter pounder with cheese is current go to but I wish they would bring back those really good 6oz burgers they had 8 years ago or so they were better than many of the upmarket chains for a very affordable price!

Enderwhere · 21/05/2025 16:08

Chilli double cheeseburger

minnienono · 21/05/2025 16:09

@Hardlyworking. They are affordable and crucially located at the services. 80% of all my McDonald’s is bought at motorway services

CocoLocoPocoMoco · 21/05/2025 16:09

I just feel like the simple double cheeseburger has the right meat to bread ratio. A normal cheeseburger is too bready.

Isyesterdaytomorrowtoday · 21/05/2025 16:10

Neither poor nor dim, still very partial to a McDonald’s burger. Classic big Mac for me with ketchup & onion extras, nuggets on the side.

neleh87 · 21/05/2025 16:11

Double quarter pounder with cheese. The single is good, but the double is more juicy.

I'm not poor or dim either 😊

GroovyChick87 · 21/05/2025 16:12

Quarter pounder with cheese. The best they have ever done was a variant of the festive deluxe that was out in 2013. I was pregnant with my second child and was addicted, I ate one nearly every day around that time. I was actually eating one in Mcdonalds when I went into labour. I prefer a Whopper from Burger King now though, so much fresher.

Neither dumb or poor but I subscribe to the mindset of why pay more for a less enjoyable meal. A Big Mac or hamburger with extra pickles are my top choices.

The signature collection?
Those burgers were amazing

Defiantly41 · 21/05/2025 16:16

@bostonchampswill this do? I’m late 50s and have only ever eaten McDs twice in my life, first time aged mid 30s! I do hope you’re enjoying our nuggets (am partial to Leon GFC nuggets)

DaisyChain505 · 21/05/2025 16:17

McPlant all day long. Followed by Fillet of fish.

WeAreNotOutnumbered · 21/05/2025 16:18

No need to justify yourself to anyone, @minnienono, least of all the judgemental online who fail to appreciate the true gift that is the Big Mac.

I didn't know they did a triple cheeseburger! I always have a double.. might have to investigate that.

RatOfTheHighway · 21/05/2025 16:21

Big tasty when they have it is 👌

I personally don’t like any of their chicken burgers, chicken nuggets or strips.

Love a Big Mac on occasion, but I think that it’s just the sauce that makes it.

I think the basic double cheeseburger is the perfect ratio of everything (much superior to the quarter pounder) and so is the best item!

WeAreNotOutnumbered · 21/05/2025 16:21

I also really love the filet of fish.

I once tried a philly cheese stack (or whatever it was called). Straight back to the Big Mac after that.

HurdyGurdy19 · 21/05/2025 16:22

😂 only took 5 posts and the first one showed up 😂

I took my granddaughter last night and I had a McSpicy (although I usually have one of their wraps) and it was really nice. Only 3 other people in the restaurant, so more or less cooked to order.

I also had a Smarties mini flurry. I love their ice cream 🍦 😋

doIIydaydream · 21/05/2025 16:22

Big Mac because of nostalgia - it was my childhood fave.

I do recommend the katsu chicken wrap they have at the moment though.

brettsalanger · 21/05/2025 16:23

McChicken burger and apple pie for dessert.

UnctuousUnicorns · 21/05/2025 16:25

I'm veggie so it has to be the McPlant, along with the fake cheese. The only thing I don't like is that everything falls out of the bun when I try to eat it. My hands get into a right mess.
