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

What do you like from McDonald’s?

It’s a rare thing now as we don’t have one near us but in the days when I was out in the evening chauffeuring offspring I used to enjoy getting a cheeseburger and a hamburger, take off and discard one of the half buns and mash them together like a Big Mac. Cheaper than a BigMac and with a higher proportion of gherkin, which I like.

My meal of choice was the Chicken Legend with mayo, but the sods have discontinued it so now I'm not so sure.

I quite like a maccies every now and then, it’s not what you’d call great food but it serves a purpose and it makes me laugh when people get on their high horse about it.

I always have a Big Mac meal (medium) and a Cole. Couldn't possibly order anything else!

x2boys · 24/01/2026 19:38

I agree with posters that think Burgar King is superior, but the one near me is in an akward place thst you have to drive to and McDonald's is round the corner so🤷‍♀️
I like Big Tasty ,The Big Arch is ok but its,a hefty burger.

OttersMayHaveShifted · 24/01/2026 19:41

Big Mac and fries and a water - I don't like fizzy drinks. I can't have a Big Mac any more though, as I can't eat gluten.

Grapewrath · 24/01/2026 20:00

Agree that BKis much better but they’re always in awkward places!
I like a plant burger from maccies and as many fries as I can get in my gob
Mcdonakds hash browns are also elite

I was thinking none of the chicken options hit the spot anymore and I couldn't think why, so I was resorting to fish. But yes, I'd forgotten about the Chicken Legend, that's what I used to have.
Thanks for clearing that up 😂

Haven't RTFT, but to those saying they don't like this and that on their burger/fish, if you order on the app you can customise your burger/order and take off what you don't want. I hate pickles, so always customise to remove them from my quarter pounder, but always add bacon at the same time. Likewise, you can customise to take the sauce off of the fish one, and have salt added to fries. I love ordering on the app - locally they're really quick, and customising my order doesn't take any longer than ordering as 'standard'.

I do miss the full works breakfast roll with sausage, bacon and egg though 😪

@DwayneDibleysTeeth and then you can get lots of loyalty points and sneak off for secret freebies behind the kids backs!

Big Tasty… only order from there when it’s on the menu

LookingThroughGlass · 25/01/2026 12:01

@DwayneDibleysTeeth I love your username! Always like spotting Dwarfers on MN.

Fillet of fish meal with some sort of fruity icy drink. And an apple pie if really hungry.

zingally · 25/01/2026 12:24

A chicken McSandwich meal, or a chicken big mac if they have them. Fries and an orange juice if I'm feeling good, an Oasis if I'm feeling particularly thirsty, or a chocolate milkshake if I'm feel like a proper treat. I do quite like their hot drinks, but not with a main meal.

Otter77 · 25/01/2026 12:49

I too am amazed at all the filet o fish love!

I go for two cheeseburgers (prefer the bread to bun ratio of those over Big Macs or QPs) whatever cheese bites they do (agree macaroni are the best), banana milkshake, large fries. Delicious.

I've just remembered that Italys fillet fish comes with lettuce and tomato and is even better!
