1959-1961 - Donald Lambert

MuckDonalds

Advantages: The milkshake was OK but I'm not sure if that should be considered advantageous
Disadvantages: Dirty surroundings, foul food, surly staff, food bears no resemblance to advertising photos

Back in the mid 1970s, there was a buzz going around about the newest ?culinary? (for want of a more appropriate word) indulgence from the USA. The subject of this buzz was none other than our now institutional McDonalds, which was standing in line, all set to enthral, and replace the scampi & chips in a basket 1970s pub food culture. My dubious claim to fame regarding McDonalds was that my now late brother-in-law had installed the central heating system inside the newly built, shiny glass-fronted monolith with the huge yellow "M" outside, in the High Street of my then home town. The completion and opening of this new eating house was the first step down the path of architectural atrocity, culminating in the many ensuing eyesores that, over the decades, has turned the once rather elegant and tasteful High Street of my home town into ...

FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AT McDONALDS

Advantages: No Strict Dress Code!
Disadvantages: Service, Cleanliness, Atmsosphere

I'm not a huge fan of McDonalds but my two children seem to regard it as a treat so we go every once and awhile. History, menus, etc can all be found in other reviews so I would like instead to share with you my most recent, unpleasant and frightening experience. I arrived at the McDonalds restaurant in the Meole Brace area of Shrewsbury at around 5pm on a Friday before Xmas with my son, then aged 10 yr. and my daughter 4yrs. The restaurant is situated in quite a pleasant retail park about 2 miles from the centre of Shrewsbury. There is ample parking and the surrounding gardens have matured to make the exterior of the restaurant quite attractive.. There are tables outside should you wish to sit in the cold or have a smoke. The exterior of the building itself is of typical McDonalds design - perhaps now rather dated and in need ...

Review of McDonald´s

Mc Donald's

Advantages: Convinient
Disadvantages: Not a lot if any nutritional value

Mc Donalds Fast Food Restaurant I often visit Mc Donald's all though the food has not much of any nutritional value at all I still occasionally enjoy their food. There are a few branches in the local area which I prefer as they seem to prepare hotter food that tastes less revolting than some places do. The standard of Mc Donald's food varies dramatically from day to day and from branch to brand, sometimes it's warm and fresh other times it's over cooked on the edges and cold. They are very good if you do complain about the quality of the food and do replace it with fresh food usually a whole meal, I've found if you complain to head office they usually send out vouchers. It is very convenient being able to use either their drive though or sit in and have a meal. They also have very use full opening times and are great for late ...
