I've had some frustrating experiences at this McDonald's. They often run out of paper cups for hot drinks, and they refuse to let me use my own reusable cup or even transfer the drink from their larger cup to my own. Very stubborn. This is the second time the lid was forced onto the cup, causing it to deform and spill hot liquid when I tried to drink. Idk what scheme they were running but having thier staff keeps coming up during my meal and asking us to go online enter the lucky draw and add the name of the staff was pretty annoying. I once ordered a large fries at the drive-thru. Apparently, the staff noticed my presence, and my order was left on the counter while the window remained closed. The staff were chatting and laughing. I didn’t say anything as I understood the British culture. There were people behind me, and we probably didn’t know what we were waiting for. I waited about 5 minutes without saying anything. The girl finally came to hand me the fries, but there were no napkins, no ketchup, nothing. I know it’s McDonald's, i just wish Burger King or Wendy's were closer.

Received are order 22/12/22 Via Uber eats app, Couldn't give no star else you can't leave review, Order was delivered on time, However all the meals were stone cold, my wife was eating her Double burger without cheese found the next minute she was flossing her teeth with a long hair YUK, we didn't finish the meals, I called McD's Newmarket road Cambridge tried 3 times as no one answered, (left message on McD's Facebook and they did reply they offered free voucher's , I declined ) I did finally get through to the branch and was told, I had to contact Uber eats, as that's how i ordered meals through. I told McD's that did they make make the meals !!!!! she said no but it's out of there hands, contacted Uber eats after explaining to a person via Indian call centre, then being told they would connect me to the right person , again explained ask to to send pictures, in which i did , and was refunded £4.28 from my order £22.79 Don't use the Uber app because it's puts it out of the hands of the restaurants I have posted pictures

Food was good and drink nice is usual but McDonalds member of staff had a go at me because my door was too close to her car, it was difficult getting in and out of my vehicle because of HER parking. Not mine. Not how I wanted to spend my morning to be honest. She was dressed in McDonalds uniform but her car was a private hire vehicle. Probably has two jobs in todays expensive world. She also come back and had a go a second time and moved her car to another parking spot. Cambridge branch parking is minimal at best so maybe staff shouldn’t be parking on site!?!? I parked up right against the curb to. Also worth mentioning that the drive through was closed other wise we would have used it. Guy who was cleaning the floor was spraying all the dirt and grit all over other customers cars. At least spray it to the fence ( the opposite way ) so your not damaging people’s property. Not a good visit today McD!

Where to begin with my honest opinion of the meal i recieved today from McDonalds. The English mcmuffin was rather chewwy and hard to swallow. Furthermore the food i recieved was nothing even remotely close to the image on the website. Allthough one could argue it never really is.

After washing that down I decided to check if the hashbrown could come in to save the day with a nice crunchy outside and amazingly fluffy inside. Unfortunately, i was sadly mistaken. As the next flavour to begin its onslaught of my tastebuds was nothing but cold sadness.

After the abysmal experience that was what McDonalds concideres a Hashbrown my hand darted back into the bag and started to produce the Bacon Sandwich with Brown sauce. Now everyone knows the saying "Bacon makes everything better." Well Apparently McDonalds forgot that memo. because the only saving grace for that particular sandwich was the sauce itself. and thankfully this time the sandwich wasnt swimming in it.

My next item was the Breakfast Roll with Ketchup. I will admit i enjoyed the ciabatta bun as it was nicely toasted and fluffy. As all buns should be. However that is when it started to go down hill. (Again) Now having working experience with McDonalds in a past life i am fully aware that McDonalds batch cook their eggs on the grill and then place them in the warmer untill they are needed. I understand that is to ensure a fast turnaround on the line specially when the resturaunt is busy However, the fact that on Uber Eats they clearly market the sandwich with "A freshly cracked egg" which this is clearly not. Not only is the egg unseasoned. it was rather cold and had the texture of a rubber boot.

Coming to the end of my sad depressing breakfast i was able to try the Cheesy flatbread which i will admit i had been wanting to try for some time. Following on down the train wreck which was my morning breakfast the flatbread was cold so clearly the item wasnt cooked fresh. the cheese was over powering to the point where what little bacon there was, could not be tasted at all.

So all in all, McDonalds has become a place of concistantly poor or mediocre food at cheap prices just to put butts in seats. The only saving grace for this meal was the fact that it was paid for by one of my good friends as i would not have paid for the travesty that i recieved.

I hope that The team at McDonalds manages to somehow turn this around because what use to be a well known family resturaunt loved by all is now turning into something you buy if your to lazy to cook, have a wicked hangover or nothing else is open. I am giving 2 stars because i liked the bun...

I agree with all the negative comments on here. This is probably one of the worst McDonald's I've been. The food is always cold and it's the second time that I asked for extra pickles and extra tomato and got neither. Also, I get it that it's a FAST food restaurant BUT the way they prepare these burgers is atrocious! One opens it up to find all ingredients out of the bun so you need to start with re-assembling it first! Today I also asked for the curry sauce. Didn't get it, had to go back to the pick up window to ask for it and then the guy hands me two handfuls (literally like 10 sauces...) to which I said, two would do. I don't know what's with the handfuls of stuff, when I was placing my order I asked for some napkins and cuttlery. The girl could clearly see that I was on my own in my car but handed me 3 sets of cutlery and like a family size stack of napkins. I asked for just 1/4th of it. I get it, maybe it's about customer satisfaction but I'd be happy with just one set of cutlery and 2 or 3 napkins if my food was looking good and hot! Also...I will keep the extra cutlery but what about the environment? Most people will probably chuck it away! Overall, someone needs to sort this place out. I don't think I'll be coming back. I'm done with...

I am extremely disappointed by the way I was treated by the shift manager on 26.10.24. Two weeks ago, I left a very important item in the restaurant, one with great sentimental value for my family. As soon as I realized, I tried calling the restaurant—27 calls that day, with not a single answer. The next morning, I finally reached someone who confirmed they had my item and assured me it would be kept safe for when I could return. Since I live an hour away, I couldn’t come immediately, but I called again on 16.10.24, spoke with another staff member, and was told it was fine to collect it the following weekend when I’d be back in Cambridge.

When I arrived today the manager told us it had been “too long” and that the item was thrown in the bin. My daughter was heartbroken, as it was a favorite toy she had been looking forward to getting back. The manager showed no empathy, didn’t seem to care, and even refused to let me speak with anyone higher up. I tried calling the office right there in the restaurant, but the manager simply ignored the ringing phone.

Overall, it was a terrible experience with a complete lack of respect for customers and...
