Your typical McDonald's. Usually when I come here, I use the kiosks since there are quite a few of…read morethem and there's less pressure to decide what to get quickly. Whenever I come, it seems pretty crowded, and sometimes it takes quite a bit of waiting before you get your food. This is a really big McDonald's--there's an upstairs seating area with a lot of space. If you needed to, you could get work done there as there are power outlets. As with all other locations, this McDonald's offers cheap prices, unhealthy food, and a lot of deals. However, the service leaves a bit to be wanted. Staff is rude and the phrase customer service doesn't exist here. On my last visit, I noticed the staff arguing with a customer over dipping sauce. I'm not entirely sure what was going on, but it seemed like the customer wanted the sauce and staff were refusing. Anyway, like I said--typical McDonald's. It's the only one in the area, so despite its mediocrity, I would go back when the craving arises.

I doubt anyone reading this has not experienced Mcdonalds before, but they vary a surprising amount…read morebetween areas. The Cornmarket Street branch is trying to be sophisticated: it knows it's a cut above kebab vans, but it has a long way to go to reach Starbucks. Neveretheless, you do see people doing academic work and having business lunches in here and they particularly advertise the breakfasts and coffees. Sophisticated it ain't, but it's a little less patronising than some branches. Service is quick once you're at the front of the queue; it definitely lives up to its fast food reputation. That said, you can end up waiting a long time to get to the front if it's busy. The atmosphere is the same as in most MaccyDs: loud, quite crowded and not exactly homely. This branch is pretty clean, but that comes at the cost of having people frequently mopping around you. In case you're not familiar with Mcdonalds nowadays, they've tried to go healthy, so alongside the usual Big Macs and (now unsalted) fries, you can now get wraps, salads and fruit. It's hardly going to improve your health, but at least they're making a step in the right direction, showing the health content of their food and at least providing an alternative for reluctant customers or cheap food addicts.

I mean...it's Nando's! Can you experience Britain as an American without going to one?…read more My older, more pretentious (I'll admit it) self would probably try to avoid chains when in a new place, but younger me came here a couple times over a summer in Oxford. :) Honestly, it's a solid chain! This location in particular was always neatly kept and had friendly staff. It sort of reminds me of a classier Zaxby's with a focus on grilled, spiced chicken rather than fried. I'm not a big wing fan so I usually got a chicken plate with a breast or thigh. Younger me was much more spicy-averse, and even though Nando's is known for its manageably spicy Peri-peri chicken, you can still find plenty to eat here even if you're the type to find mayonnaise too intense, lol.

Also was asked if I were a student, which probably means they have a student discount. The only hiccup was that after I ordered my pot, in 10 minutes I was told that the oven is broken and I would get my pot in 10 min. Spoiler - 10 min turned into almost half an hour. To be fair, they gave me another pot (I think it was English breakfast) in the meantime, so I am not overly upset. However, if I was in a rush it could have been an issue.

I ordered the vegetarian burger which is made of beets and grains and comes with cheese and lettuce. It was okay.. The bread was decent but the flavor of the burger itself was not mind blowing. For the sides I had. The fries, witch were good and the hummus with pita bread which was a little disappointed. The bread was cold and crumbly and the hummus did not have a lot of flavor. We also tried some of their specialty drinks (Goji Berry tea) which was a little too sweet for my taste. For dessert we had a little pastry which was really greasy and bland. I will probably try different menu items in the future because i believe there is a lot of promise on the concept and I just ordered the wrong things.

Cheap, generous portions (£2 chips and cheese) - the staff is extremely friendly, the cooking facilities are very clean and you can see all your food being prepared. Even the salad is fresh and clean. Highlights include the chips, cheese, and chicken (£4, and you get a ton of grilled chicken and chips and cheese and salad). The hot sauce is quite spicy, but the real highlight is the garlic mayo - it's incredible. The kebabs are great, the chips are well-fried, and all of the food tastes fresh, and, crucially, is cooked really well. Definitely a step above the other street food in Oxford.

Hot sandwiches are definitely the way to go. Sometimes you can get hog roast and they usually have hot dogs. There's a yummy range of cakes too, although don't underestimate the size of their baguettes. They're quite hard to find, near the grocers, but make the pilgrimage and you won't regret it.

Food: pre-packed sushi. I got the Harmony set which had (18 pieces of various salmon, cucumber,…read moreavocado, etc). They have some hot rice bowl items but I didn't look at them. Price: £10.00 for the Harmony Set. Good deal! I had really low expectations, so I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh and the sushi rice was good. The package comes with soy sauce and wasabi and there are free packets with fresh ginger which was good. We wanted something fresh, quick and a place to sit and rest with A/C and a bathroom. This met all criteria. They have seating by the front door, but also a huge seating area upstairs with one toilet. Service: wasn't very friendly, but this is a heavily tourist street so they are probably always annoyed. I wouldn't definitely recommend and eat here again in a pinch.

Chicken Katsu Dragon roll - good, slightly spicy. Spicy Salmon hand roll - the pickled cabbage surprised and impressed me. I am not a big cabbage fan, but this was good! Veggie bento box - this was the HIT. I typically do not buy a veggie dish. This dish was 6 stars for me; it blew my mind. Good proportions, good flavors, fresh, etc! I would buy this again, especially knowing that it is a healthy choice. Atmosphere - Clean, bright, cool, and crisp decor as well as organized and fast casual restaurant. Open 7 days a week from 10:30am to 9:30pm or 10pm or 10:30pm or 11pm - see Yelp. Why so many different closing times? Can I suggest no more than 2 different closing times to make it easier for your customers? 2 stories, bathroom on both floors, you need a code to use. I think I was supposed to shred or burn the fine print code they handed me after use... Service - Just ok. Sadly, I felt that because they cater to so many tourists and don't expect repeat customers, the service reflected that. It was not bad, but not good service. I had to ask for utensils and napkins. Lastly, he hesitated giving me the bathroom code as I like to wash my hands before eating, see above comment. And bathrooms tell a lot about a business. What looks like self service checkouts are not (see picture). It is full service, they just have monitors on the customer side also. Price - Approximately 20 pounds. I felt reasonably priced for what I got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success. FYI, are you having issues with your website as some of your links did not seem to work?

They do some nice drinks: fruit juice, flavoured waters and elderflower type drinks. A nice change from Coke or Sprite, although you pay for it. A popular deal seems to be pie, mash and gravy for £5.95, and you can get various sides for a bit more, so you can customise your meal. My pie to take away cost around £3.75, but this wasn't clearly displayed, so it was a bit embarrassing to ask. It seems expensive, but the pies are very good quality and well worth it for a treat (not much more than a sandwich, crisps and cake from a high street shop or a panini from a cafe).

In fact, somehow it manages to avoid all the late-night drunk student/lager lout crowd. They don't belong here, it's just too classy. The staff deliver generous portions, and free warm Turkish bread for starters, which is always welcome. The service is unbelievably good, friendly, and it's run by people who really do have passion for their cuisine, and are eager to leave every customer satisfied. If you ask them, they'll even bring you Turkish tea afterwards, although it would be nice if it was served in small Turkish glasses rather than over-sized Coffee cups. I highly recommend Cowley Road's legendary Bodrum Kebab restaurant!
