McDonald's Avondale Heights — Restaurant in Melbourne

I recently embarked on a culinary adventure to McDonald’s Avondale, lured by the promise of their iconic McChicken Burger. Little did I know that my journey would lead me to a barren wasteland of disappointment.

Upon unwrapping the McChicken, I was greeted by an empty void—a void where the chicken patty should have resided. It was as if the universe conspired against me, whispering, “Behold, the McChicken Mirage!”

The Bun:

The sesame seed bun, once plump and promising, now sagged like a deflated balloon. Its golden hue mocked me, hinting at the glorious chicken patty that had abandoned ship. Alas, it was not to be.

The Lettuce:

Ah, the lettuce—the sole survivor of this McChicken apocalypse. It clung to life, wilted and forlorn. Its crispness had surrendered to despair, much like my taste buds.

The McChicken Sauce:

The McChicken Sauce, that elusive elixir of flavor, was present in microscopic quantities. It played hide-and-seek with my senses, leaving me yearning for more. Perhaps it, too, sought refuge from this patty-less tragedy.

The Void:

And then there was nothing—the void where the chicken patty should have danced a crispy tango with the lettuce. Instead, I was left contemplating existence, pondering the meaning of life without poultry.

Conclusion:

In the annals of fast-food history, the McChicken Burger without the patty shall forever remain a cautionary tale. It’s a sandwich that defies logic, a paradox wrapped in a sesame bun. If you seek flavor, sustenance, or even a hint of joy, look elsewhere.

McDonald’s Avondale, consider this my plea: Next time please include my patty, for without it, the McChicken is but a whisper—a fleeting dream in a world gone bland.

As well as that I have written another extract on the service and atmosphere of the McDonald's Avondale

In the hallowed halls of McDonald’s, I embarked on a quest for sustenance—a McChicken Burger to be precise. Little did I know that my journey would unravel like a poorly wrapped burrito.

Enter Nick, the gatekeeper of poultry and purveyor of disappointment. His eyes, colder than a frozen McFlurry, met mine. “What’ll it be?” he grunted, as if my hunger were an inconvenience.

“I’ll take a McChicken,” I said, my voice trembling like a wilted lettuce leaf. “With the patty, please.”

Nick’s eyebrows ascended, reaching heights uncharted by mere sesame seeds. “Patty?” he scoffed. “Are you suggesting we actually include chicken in our McChickens?”

Minutes stretched into eons. The kitchen buzzed—a symphony of fryers and McFlurry machines. Nick emerged, tray in hand, bearing a McChicken sans patty. The bun sagged, the lettuce wilted, and the McChicken Sauce played hide-and-seek. But where was the chicken? Ah, the McChicken Mirage strikes again!

Summoning courage, I spoke: “Excuse me, good sir. My McChicken seems to have misplaced its raison d’être—the chicken patty.”

Nick’s eyes narrowed. “Company policy,” he declared, brandishing his register like a sword. “No refunds for patty-less McChickens.”

“But—” I protested.

He cut me off, his tone frostier than a McFlurry machine on the fritz. “Next customer!”

And so, dear reader, I departed—hungry, defeated, and clutching a McChicken-shaped void. Nick, if you’re reading this, know that your legacy is etched in wilted lettuce and...

The words coming out of the supervisors mouth was disgraceful! Do better!

I never usually review places unless the service is genuinely terrible, but the way this supervisor was speaking to one of her workers was truly saddening and disgusting.

A friend and I came in store to eat some lunch today at around 12 and the atrocious language of the supervisor was truly concerning. The service was okay, but we continuously heard her mocking and belittling one of her staff members. She managed to essentially harass him multiple times, yelling things such as: “this is your fault, I blame it on you” as they were waiting for a coffee to be made. To his defence, he stated he was simply new to the job and learning. She was extremely rude to him and spoke about him behind his back to one of her fellow coworkers. Rather than assuring him and assisting him, she continued to yell at him to move faster and be quick. On one occasion, her and her other coworker yelled at him, insisting that he “make a coffee in less than 60 seconds” after they both laughed, they assured him that “they can be better and make it in 20”. She spoke in a very condescending manner and it is my opinion that she should simply not hold a managing duty. This is disgusting and the poor young boy does not deserve to be managed in this manner. Do...

The manager is disgusting so very rude and condescending. I place an order via my app and she abruptly and rudely stated in front of other customers that I had not paid when I showed her my comm bank app which clearly showed I had she persisted to say I hadn't and I needed to place my order again. I did as she asked and again she said I had not paid. Again I showed her my bank account showing that I had. She then spent time getting stickers ready for uber eats bags. When I asked if she was going to get my order ready for me she yelled at me "you still haven't paid". I told her I found her incompetence endearing after being there 45mins. I did say I found her customer service skills disgusting that was when she told me she wouldn't serve me and was calling the police .....all this and I didn't even raise my voice. This owner/operator should not be in any type of customer service role. I have not been back not will I. My friends have been through drive through and 3 times have had delays due to issues with point of sale system. This owner is extremely incompetent and definately should not be in fast food. ....very slow food with no...
