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!)

Chilli double cheeseburger! I always feel like the amount of ketchup on the normal double cheeseburger is off so I love the chilli sauce version 🍔

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.

Gosh, you got in quick, and with the double-whammy of insulting both brain and spending power. Well done you, take the rest of the day off.

Anyway, I'm pretty taken with those Philly Cheesesteak ones. The onions and the cheese sauce are quite filthy, in a good way.

Fuck off, Miss Priss.

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 21/05/2025 16:28

Their pre-Covid Signature burger was the best - was actually filling.

I’d go for a fillet o’ fish or McSpicy now

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 21/05/2025 16:30

The chicken legends! Curses that they discontinued them.

dontforgetme · 21/05/2025 16:32

Big tasty and it needs to be on the standard full time menu!

McRib is the best McD burger of all time but sadly I have only ever eaten it in Germany.

Failing that, Filet O Fosh or the classic Hamburger.

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 21/05/2025 16:33

Can't go wrong with a Big Mac

TimeForATerf · 21/05/2025 16:33

Ivw never been a Maccies fan and am always underwhelmed on the occasion I eat them, except for …..

fillet o fish!

we make these at home with fish square burgers from Morrisons I think, brioche bun, tartare sauce, plastic cheese and gerkins. Wonderful.

Very poor?! I definitely wouldn't be going to McDonalds if I was very poor!

Anyway, mine is a McChicken Sandwich with a side of 6 chicken nuggets 😀

RedSetter78 · 21/05/2025 16:35

McPlant!

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 21/05/2025 16:37

Big tasty

Or a simple mcchicken sandwich 🥰

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 21/05/2025 16:38

1/4lb w cheese (with a strawberry milkshake)

I crave it twice a year and it really hits the spot.

LuckysDadsHat · 21/05/2025 16:38

It was the New York Bagel when they had it on. I can't remember exactly what it was called but it was bloody amazing!

1stWorldProblems · 21/05/2025 16:40

Because sometimes only a McD's will do. Because sometimes it's the best of the motorway service choices. Because there isn't always a 5 Guys nearby.

Quarter Pounder with cheese. No onion & extra gherkins. Customised burgers are always cooked to order.

WeAreNotOutnumbered · 21/05/2025 16:42

5 Guys cook using peanut oil according to DCs' allergy specialist. So that is a Big Fat No for us.

I used to be mad for a Big Tasty but it is definitely a standalone burger - so filling that I can never have the fries.

dontcomeatme · 21/05/2025 16:44

Chicken big mac when they're on! They should make it a staple on the menu

MaleficentQueen · 21/05/2025 16:47

Can’t beat a good old fashioned Double Cheeseburger. Is it a boring choice? Probably. But you always know what you’re getting, and the bread to meat ratio is decent.

I’m partial to the odd McChicken Sandwich, but with amendments. I take the sandwich sauce off, and the lettuce, then I add cheese, and ketchup. (I used to love the chicken and ketchup burgers they did many years ago, and this sort of reminds me of them.)

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.

🤣🤣
Can’t stand the “I’m too superior for a maccies” posters that chime in.. well sod off, most people love it and we don’t care.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 21/05/2025 16:52

Quarter pounder with cheese and a cheeseburger chaser

Yes can’t go wrong with a double cheeseburger 🩷

Peppermintcreamz · 21/05/2025 16:57

Got to be the McChicken Sandwich! But quarter pounder with cheese is a close second.

Creamcheesedreams · 21/05/2025 16:58

The humble cheeseburger. Hits the spot everytime
