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

What do you like from McDonald’s?

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

tanstaafl · 23/01/2026 18:37

I quite like a mini smartie McFlurry now and again.

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.

YesSirICanNameChange · 23/01/2026 18:38

Oh and cheese melt bites at Christmas 🤤

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 🤔

Are you lost?

This is a thread asking what you like to eat from McDonald's? 🤔

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.

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.

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!

Johnbrown · 23/01/2026 18:40

Nothing.

magicstar1 · 23/01/2026 18:33

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

Not really the thread for you then is it

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 🤷‍♀️)

Valuable contribution to the thread there…

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)

ithinkilikethislittlelife · 23/01/2026 18:41

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 ☺️

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

PhantomG · 23/01/2026 18:41

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 😋

Tillow4ever · 23/01/2026 18:41

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 🤣

In all fairness I would pick BK over McD's any day too as do prefer it but I'd have to drive to the next town to get one as there isn't one where I live

BillieWiper · 23/01/2026 18:43

I find the chicken big mac too heavy. I like the taste of the chicken with the mac sauce but it's just the double patties I think.

I used to be addicted to the spicy nuggets. But I think last time they did them they weren't as nice.

My go to would be the filet o fish. And chips that are hot and really salty.

I sometimes like the sausage and egg muffin and the hash browns but I'm too lazy to wake up early enough. But I have to cross off the cheese and fake butter from the muffin.

I even sometimes get a craving for the hamburger. But I don't like the cheese unless it's the half one in the fish burger.

Yeah I'm not a regular maccers user but I've nothing against it. It can hit the spot sometimes. And it's consistent which can be good in unfamiliar locations.

MarmaladeSandwich7 · 23/01/2026 18:43

Gone off Maccies in recent months but still mourning the loss of breakfast bagels. I like the cheese & bacon flatbreads & their hot chocolate is pretty good.

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 23/01/2026 18:43

I live in a country with no Mcdonalds breakfast which is utterly devastating but when I'm in the uk, a sausage McMuffin no egg, hash browns and the pancake syrup for dipping

Normally its a fillet fish, some nuts or a double cheeseburger, fries and a sprite but we get a regular change of "special burgers" on our menu so currently the hot honey chicken wrap (RIP The dijon cheeseburger 😓) instead of the cheeseburger or nugs
