This is a spot where you can order items from McDonald's menus across the world. We had just had a big lunch, but enjoyed a sweet treat from Switzerland. They were kind of like a beignet and they were delicious. You order via a kiosk and wait for your food. The ordering process was easy and we got our food quickly! read more

Located at Hamburger University, McDonald's headquarters, you can randomly sample regional specialties from around the world! A must-visit for McDonald's devotees! (Although, a little disappointing) Cheesy Onion Burger: Brazil limited. Very small, just a simple layer of meat patty, cheese, and chopped onions. I have no idea where the Brazilian flavor is. Feels very perfunctory. McShaker Fries: Smoky BBQ: Malaysia limited. The seasoning seems to be five-spice salt and pepper, the smoky flavor mainly comes from paprika, plus a layer of tomato acidity. It's probably closer to Mexican than Malaysian, and rather average. Golden McFlurry: Global. Coconut pralines and caramel toppings reminded me of Ferrero Raffaello. The taste was good, but a bit too sweet. read more

It was so rewarding visiting an International McDonalds. Being able to try a popular menu McDonald item from Japan, China, The U.K and Canada was fun. It made the journey felt extremely special. I truly enjoyed the Garlic & Pepper CrissCut fries from China . My second favorite was the Philly Cheese Stack from The The U.K. The meat was well seasoned, the caramelized onions the cheese sauce. This burger was the truth. I also admire how dress everything was. The doors and windows where very polish and clean. No hand prints. The counter where clean and sanitized. All the staff seem happy and take pride in their work. I love that! Noone had a sad or down face. Overall wonderful experience. read more

Recently visited the only McDonald's in the U.S. with an international menu and had such a fun experience. The location itself is surprisingly beautiful, elevated and modern, especially for a fast-food spot. We ordered from the kiosk and tried the Samurai Burger from Singapore along with the 3 McPops Mix. Our food was even delivered by an employee in a suit, which somehow added to the bougie-meets-fast-food vibe of the whole place. The Samurai Burger was smaller than expected for the price, but still tasty. The juicy beef paired well with the mayo and teriyaki sauce for a sweet-savory combo. The McPops Mix included a Biscoff and Chocolate Hazelnut McPop from Spain and a Berry McPop from Switzerland. The chocolate hazelnut and Biscoff flavors were spot-on and indulgent, while the berry one reminded me of a classic jelly donut. If you're nearby, Hamburger University is right next door for a fun photo op. Overall, it's a unique and entertaining stop. The food quality is still standard McDonald's, but the international menu and elevated setting make it worth checking out to see what items rotate in next. read more

I thought the mango wrap was decent but didn't really taste the curry nor mango as much. The Philly burger was a letdown as it tastes like a Big Mac but with fried onions on top. Service was pretty fast and the ambiance of the place was decent and clean. read more

When I visited in December 2025, they didn't have that many cool international options. I got the samurai burger from Singapore; some European countries steak fries; and Malaysia mango McFlurry. The burger was a normal burger with some different teriyaki? Sauce. The fries were cut into wedges. Those two were okay, I wouldn't get them again. The mango McFlurry was yummy. The mangos taste like dried mangos but the texture was still a little chewy. Service fast, bathrooms clean. read more

Reviewing my first McDonald's because it's the flagship store with the global menu. Maybe something to do more of. Honestly, I had a pretty good experience here. Chicago is nice and walkable and this spot is easy to access. The spot is clean and the workers are super friendly with excellent service. They provided an extra water on the side with my order, despite me not ordering or requesting one. Ordering is easy on the kiosks where one can browse their available global options which appear to rotate from time to time. Extremely spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating plus a clean washroom and nice area to walk around afterwards for some digestion. read more

I have been wanting to try to this place since I moved to Chicago. I have been to events with the headquarters but never eaten at Hamburger University. The appeal of the Hamburger University is the international menu. We started off my ordering at the kiosk since I had some rewards and wanted to get my French fries for free. For food on this occasion I had a yummy Biscoff Carmel McFlurry. I also shared a Big Arch with my husband. Big Arch includes two quarter-pound patties, three slices of white cheese, crispy onions, slivered onions, pickles, lettuce, and a special Big Arch sauce on a sesame and poppy seed bun. We really enjoyed the burger. It was an upgrade from your traditional Mickey D burger. Would love to come back and try other things. Service was quick and would like to see what other global things they offer. read more

This McDonald's offers the global menu, which makes for such a fun and unique experience. The garlic pepper fries, Philly Cheese Stack, and Biscoff McPops were all 10/10, definitely the highlights. The Ghost Pepper McChicken was very spicy to the point where it took away from the enjoyment. My friends really liked the mango curry wrap, but it wasn't my favorite. Service was smooth, though we ordered directly from the kiosk. read more

McDonald’s - Order kiosk. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

FOOD PASSPORT The only McDonald's with an international menu serving menu items from other countries' McDonalds. The Global Menu items are on a 6 week rotation with the rest of the international variety, so you can try different things every so often. Don't worry, they serve the regular American selection here too. I am not sure why everyone is crazed about the standard McWraps but they are basic as heck. I got the Global versions for some reason thinking they would be any better. The Netherlands Sweet Chili and the Classic from Poland was nothing to write home about, albeit I am writing about it here. Despite having different ingredients and sauce, I was sorely disappointed with the flavor combination and the quality, and because of that, did not warrant the price point. The McPops were like donut holes with filling. These were decent and I would probably eat them again. I said EAT them, but would not buy them, because for 3 pieces, the price is outrageous for the amount you get. So if you want to donate McPops to me I won't refuse them. I think I came on the worst menu rotation. I only rated this location up because the service at this McDonald's was better than you can find elsewhere and the staff was actually helpful. It was pretty clean, unlike most McDonalds with the tables always being messy. Also, there are charging stations in the dining areas at certain tables. The novelty of having foreign items makes this site unique. So you can explore if you want but let it be known, some of these menu items should be deported. read more

Finding the McDonald's headquarters in Chicago; the global home of the brand and being able to enjoy a diverse menu with items from different countries and international options is truly fascinating. Living the experience is absolutely worth it. The place is huge, the ordering process is super easy and fast, and the staff is friendly and attentive.

I had to check out this McDonald's on a trip to Chicago. This McDonald's is there world headquarters and is right next door to Hamburger University which is where all the General managers at McDonald's has to go through training. When I ordering from the kiosk they have several of them there this McDonald's has a global menu which means you can get items that they do not have other places in the United States. They have items from other countries not the full menu but a selected amount of them I thought this was pretty neat. I decided to order from the global menu and try something new I haven't tried before. I ordered the triple onion burger, Deluxe potatoes, and for dessert I had the three Mcpops mix. I took my order number to the table and shortly after my meal was delivered to the table. Everything tasted so good. They do have signs up in the place stating that you only have 20 minutes to sit and eat your food which I didn't care for them to actually have a time limit on how quick you can eat your food but everything else was very good the place was clean and the workers were very polite. read more

I might get flack for reviewing a McDonalds, but this is a special one - it's the global headquarters with the international menu! I was very pleasantly surprised that it was also available for late night delivery - I could totally see this place closing earlier at night, but being able to deliver a bunch of fun international items to try after a night out makes it a top experience for me. We tried the McAloo burger from India, donut holes from Switzerland, a chicken burger from Canada, and the Big Mac from the USA. I'll say this is probably not really deserving of the 5 star review (after all, the food is McDonalds quality), but I think the novelty and the hours of this location make it just a unique McDonalds experience. read more

Came here on our visit to Chicago. Of course we saw it of TikTok! I expected the international menu to be a little more than just 2 wraps and a burger for the main course. However it made my kids excited so that was the whole point right? Lol they loved the Biscof McFlurry but my daughter said it could have used a some drizzle of biscof (coming from a 9 year old) and my son who's 6 said the mc Arch Burger was awesome but still doesn't beat the burger McD burger from Egypt lol! The sweet potato fries was a miss. The service was nice and the place was very clean and well kept! read more

One of the things that I needed to do when I made my return trip to Chicago was to come to McDonald's headquarters location for one sole reason: the Global Favorites menu! For people that aren't aware, the Global Favorites menu has a limited variety of various international items from around the world. Since I've been to several McDonald's around the world lately in Netherlands, France, and England, I was already hyped on global menu options. SO to have them available in the U.S. made this location a must visit for me. Obviously, I was only gonna order from the Global Favorites menu. Ordered the McAloo Tikki from India, the McRaclette from Switzerland, Twister Fries from Malaysia, and the McPops from Switzerland and Spain. The McAloo Tikki was by far the most unique item I had, as it was entirely vegan. The patty is made of potato, peas, and aromatic Indian spices...essentially, it was kind of like a falafel. The McRaclette is made of beef and raclette cheese on a nice square bun. Probably my favorite of what I ordered. Twister Fries are...just regular curly fries. The McPops were nice, but not as good as I thought they would be as they were already premade. Ordering is pretty straightforward here as most people order on kiosks, although there is a register if you want to order there. Staff are very quick and the food comes out quickly. This McDonald's was also very clean as well, which I would expect since it is the headquarters location. Overall, I think it's a very cool concept that the headquarters location has the Global Favorites. Makes this super unique! read more

The place is nice and clean. They have kiosk to take your order but today I appreciated being able to order at the counter. I was excited to try the samurai burger, and the winter fries with my usual Diet Coke. For a sweet treat I ordered the assortment of McPops which reminds me of jelly or chocolate filled donuts. The service was quick. Once we seated, they were already bringing out some of my order. One of the persons there, perhaps a manager handed the kiddos an extra toy. I thought that was very kind. The samurai Burger had a very tangy teriyaki sauce on it. I didn't enjoy the flavor that much. The winter fries were pretty good. Think waffle fries but seasoned. The McPops were delicious, and I wish they had them on every McDonald's menu. read more

So my schtick doing reviews is to not review fast food joints. Mostly because they're all cookie-cutter, wham bam, churn out the same ol' stuff kind of places. Nobody sits down at a fast food place for the ambiance, comradery, ice cold beers, or cuisine that will make you sell your first born for another taste of that soup. You know that soup I'm talking about. It's the kind you would sell your first born for for just another taste. However, in this case, this is a Global McDonald's. And in that case, it means it often showcases food from around the world (I mean, food you can get in a Micky D's around the world). Since I've never ever been in one, I've only ever heard stories, like how you always hear about that one kid in 8th grade who had twelve toes, but you've never actually SEEN it, I've decided I needed to try this. The size of this McDonald's was huge. It even had outside seating. A lot of it. The inside had plenty of seating for all your friends. Both locally AND globally (see what I did there?). You order via kiosk. And maybe even at the counter, but I'll be honest, I wasn't paying attention. Since this was stop 3 on my Chicago Tour of Stuffing My Face, I wanted to keep it light. And I'll be honest, mostly because the burger they offered didn't look like anything special. It just had white cheddar on it. So I decided to get some sweet treats. My travel buddy got the Biscoff flurry and I settled with the multi-pack of McPops. The McFlurry slapped (is that what the kids are saying)? Biscoff doesn't miss, though. Cookie form is OG, so that in a flurry type situation only enhanced the flurry itself. Where America brings home the gold though, are the McPops. They're basically filled donut holes, squished a little. The dough was fluffy, yet firm. Light, yet dense. It was the perfect consistency of donut material. The multi-pack comes with 1(one) Biscoff, one (1) hazelnut, and (1) (1) berry. Pick a favorite, you ask? Can't. They're all perfect. It's a damn good thing Chicago is 3 hours away it I would look like Veruca Salt and they'd have to roll me into the juicer. McFlurr - 8/10 (only because McFlurrys are really my jam. McPops - 11/10 I wish I could breathe these instead of oxygen. read more

I got a chance to visit the McDonald's HQ on my recent trip to Chicago and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The interior was extremely clean and well kept and the workers were so kind and helpful. They continuously came to our table and asked if we needed anything else and even refilled our drinks for us. It was definitely something I wasn't expecting at a McDonald's. We ordered in a Kiosk which was very easy to use and similar to any other McDonald kiosk. But what made this specific location unique was that it had items from other countries. I think this menu rotates throughout the year but when I went, I got the samurai burger from Malaysia, the winter fries from France, and the Mcpops! I also got a McChicken because you can't go to McDonald's without getting one of those. The samurai burger was good but it honestly tasted like a gyudon bowl in a burger. The winter fries were so addicting an really tasty. The McPops were honestly underwhelming. It's definitely worth trying if you're there but it's not anything special. read more

So as far as McDonald's goes, this spot, adjacent to McDonald's HQ, isn't even close to the best quality food. The novelty of the global menu is hardly worth going out of your way for. Very very busy and there was some pretty loud construction going on while we were there. If you're considering going out of your way to try the international food items, definitely don't do it. Not even worth it if it's on the way. read more

Yes. I can't believe it myself either. A 5 star review to a McDonalds. But, this isn't just any ordinary McDonalds, this is the University of McDonalds! Two words: INTERNATIONAL MENU How'd I end up here? I'm in town for work. Staying at the Emily Hotel. My concierge said, "Mike, if you've never been, go to McDonalds Global HQ? It's the University, you have to, it's just a couple blocks that way" I said "University?!" Walked maybe 10 minutes. It's really a university. Ground level is where the restaurant is located. Entered the door, we were greeted by several employees who were servicing the dining area. From a quick scan, most patrons were likely locals in office work attire while others were snapping photos looking touristy like me haha. 11:00am, Wasn't too busy. Conveniently, introverts can use touch screen kiosks to place orders. I like people so, I waited to book mine with a human at the register. What did I order? Hong Kong Chicken Sandwich 4/5 stars McPop 3 piece 5/5 stars Criscut Chips 4/5 stars The sandwich is a nice portion at $5.49 my only comment is that it had a tablespoon too much of the mayo. But, I've not yet had the Spicy Chicken sandwich in Hong Kong yet. Maybe this is exactly how it's served there? Bun, nice, chicken flavor and bite, very nice. As you would expect from McDonalds, but better than an average McDonalds in Los Angeles. That's for sure haha! The key take away from any McDonalds International menu experience is to try the items not typically offered at your local McDonalds. So when in Rome... I ordered those McPops and slipped up and ordered CrisCut Chips. I absolutely loved it all. In fact, my only regret is that I did not order fries just so I could taste university quality fries. Imagine the best fries, but from the university of the best fries?! Yeah I messed up. But I wrote this review so you don't have to go through that. Shout out to McDonald's for keeping me fed and entertained with toys during meal times as a child and still holding me down as one of the best to cure a hangover. read more

Definitely stop by if you're visiting Chicago! The global menu and the service here was easily a 5 star experience as far as fast food goes, not sure why I'd go to any other McDonald's or similar fast food burger joint when I'm in the area! Admittedly I was a bit sad they just rotate out the Korean triple onion burger earlier this month. How could Hamburger University do this to us before Lollapalooza, which has the biggest kpop/k-alt lineup in history of music fests?! But dramatics and pop culture side (come on McDonald's, keep up!), I'm definitely happy with the twister fries (I dare say better than Arby's curly fries), McRaclette with extra sauce (come on, load it up), and McPops mix (biscotti, vanilla, and strawberry). Honestly the McPops tasted like donut holes and could use more filling to properly compete with munchkins from Dunkin', but was fluffy and tasty otherwise. Also wish they had some special drink, but the unsweetened iced tea will do (sorry soda fans, I'm trying not to drink my calories unless it's absolutely worth it). read more

Heard from friends that McDonald's Hamburger University in Chicago has an international menu, and it definitely lived up to the hype! I tried the Swiss Burger, McAloo Tikki, and the French Berry Mcpops, yum across the board. Each item had a unique flavor you won't find at your typical McDonald's, and it was a fun way to taste global offerings. The service was great, friendly and efficient and the ambiance was surprisingly upscale and modern. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and curious about McDonald's beyond the usual menu. read more

Kind of disappointed buy the selection. I remember back when McDonalds did their Around the World menu years ago that they had offered a bunch of main entree items. So to come to the Global Menu Restaurant and for them to only have 3 entrees, that was a bit of a letdown for me. My friend ordered the McCrispy Bacon & Cheese melt and it was as just as described. The cheese had a weird taste and the bacon was a little limp. The triple onion burger I didn't really have any issues with. I was worried about the horseradish sauce being overpowering but it was very mild and didn't outshine the rest of the burger. Granted this is a McDonald's so I didn't expect much in terms of it being a fantastic meal, but considering it was a special McDonald's I thought they'd have a real emphasis here on the global menu. The location was very clean though and the staff were friendly. They also bring your food to your table read more

It was so much fun trying the global menu items! This is what we got: - Triple Onion Burger (S. Korea) - McAloo Tikki (India) - McCrispy Bacon and Cheese Melt (Brazil) - Deluxe Potatoes (France) - Banana Tart McFlurry (Japan) - 3 McPops mix (biscoff, berry, white chocolate) (Spain and Switzerland) My favorite burger was the McAloo Tikki because it tasted the most novel to me. The curry taste was really good. The Triple Onion Burger was yummy too, but a taste I was already familiar with and didn't stand out. I was not a fan of the McCrispy Bacon and Cheese Melt - too much meat in a burger and needed a vegetable or fries to cut through it. The Deluxe Potatoes just tasted like regular potato wedges. I surprisingly really enjoyed the Banana Tart McFlurry since I don't usually like banana flavor, but the banana flavor was very subtle. I loved the biscoff McPop, but wasn't a fan of the berry or white chocolate flavors because I felt the filling was too overwhelming for those. This McDonald's is located in West Loop and is very clean and straightforward, with friendly service. Great experience. read more

McDonald’s - Global Menu - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Heard about an international McDonald's today and of course I had to test it out. The top recommendation was the Korean triple onion burger (and also given that I'm Korean I had to go with this choice first). Sadly I was very disappointed. The burger uses the brioche bun (was expecting the classic sesame bun (which I often associate with my go to Big Mac) so it was a little on the sweet tasting side (not my fav). The meat patty was standard. The burger as the name states gives you a decent amount of onions prepared in three ways (grilled, fried, and fresh) and lettuce. Just not my idea of a burger. Couldn't even tell you what it tasted like. The other choice for an international burger was the McAloo Tikki (India) which is vegan (should have tried this one instead. I also remember seeing banana tart McFlurry (Japan) but was so full couldn't try it. The remaining menu is the standard McDonald menu you see everywhere else. Wondering if they change up the burger options. Wouldn't mind trying the others. read more

Rating: 3.8/5 [dine in] I was surprised to find a McDonald's in the U.S. with a global menu, so we had to make a visit while in Chicago. Located next to Hamburger University, the restaurant's sleek, modern design matched the school's aesthetic, making the experience feel even more unique. We placed our order at the kiosks, which allowed us to browse the menu and customize our selections. A nice bonus is that you can use McDonald's app coupons here. Once you order, you grab a number tent, find a table, and they bring the food to you along with a complimentary cup of water. Service was fast, and our food arrived quickly. 6 Piece Spicy Garlic Black Pepper Nuggets - Japan ($3.49): I had high expectations for this one, but it was just okay. The nuggets tasted like regular McNuggets with a hint of black pepper, and the spicy garlic flavor didn't really stand out. Masala Shaker Fries - Canada ($4.49): They provide a masala powder packet and a bag to shake and mix with the fries. The fries themselves were standard, but the seasoning was flavorful. BBQ Smokehouse McCrispy ($5.99) + Extra Sliced Red Onion ($0.59) + 3 Stripes of Bacon ($1.87) - UK: This was the better sandwich of the two we tried. The soft potato bun, crispy chicken, and balanced flavors made it a solid choice. If you eat dairy, I'd recommend keeping the white cheddar cheese for a flavor boost. The 280 Dijon ($5.99) + Shredded Lettuce ($0.49) - France: We opted for no Swiss/American cheese and add slivered onions. This one was a letdown. The beef patty was dry and lacked flavor, and the sandwich overall was underwhelming. We ended up adding McNugget sweet & sour sauce to improve it. McPoPs - Spain & Switzerland ($3.99): We got the mix to try all three flavors: Spain's white chocolate & biscotti cookie butter and Switzerland's berry. These mini donuts were soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet--a great way to end the meal. read more

My guilty pleasure truly is McDonald's. This is by far the best location in terms of variety and efficiently. I believe this is the location where they train people as it's connected to their headquarters. What's also great is they offer global options here that you can't get anywhere else. They rotate every few months. They also have some special items like chocolate ice cream cones! I always come here when I want the best McD experience. read more

I was so excited to try this McDonalds that features some international items on a rotating menu! I didn't want to spoil the surprise by checking what was on the menu this week, but now that I've been... I really wish I had looked ahead of time. As another reviewer mentioned, this seems to be a really bad time to visit in terms of exciting global menu items. Let's take a step back. This McDonalds is really modern with plenty of touch screens to order from, and when you do, you grab a number and your food will be brought to the table. 5 stars on this service compared to the usual McDonalds experience! It's also pretty clean with a lot of seats, and clean bathrooms. Also located next to Hamburger University - I thought this was adorable! Ok back to the food. Currently in early October 2025, they had a McArch (looked like a burger with some crispy onions), sweet potato fries, a biscoff McFlurry, and some McPops (looks like filled donut holes). They also had a couple wraps to choose from, but those weren't appealing to me. I ordered the McFlurry which was surprisingly good (I'm usually not a fan) but definitely on the sweeter side, and 3 McPops which were ok, but way overpriced for 3 donut holes. Overall I was super bummed that this was it for their current global menu! read more

My niece discovered this McDonald's serving a variety of international options while visiting Chicago and was begging for us to go. We decided to try several options, so that we could taste different things. The Mcaloo Tiki was really good. I think it was a falafel patty. The overall consensus though was the McRaclette was everyone's favorite. The location was so busy even at 2:30pm. I was impressed that the staff being all of the orders to the table. We had a really nice time. You can find both indoor and outdoor seating, which was really cool. read more

At its heart, this location is just a McDonalds, though pricier than other locations and with some silly international desert-style offerings that are pretty awful. The sad part is this is the company store-ground zero, and it just reinforces why I rarely eat McDonalds anymore. I feel like McDonalds hates its customers. Most locations (not this one) hide the napkins, the straws, and no longer allow fountain drink refills. Here, restaurant staff goes around to customers and asks how things are, can they get anything for us, and say goodbye when we leave. So this location is great in that respect, but it's sad that once you leave, all of this good experience just goes to crap. read more

So if you didn't know - this isn't just ANY McDonalds... It's the GLOBAL McD's under their HQ! I had friends visiting and somehow we got on the topic of fast food and I had no idea visiting the global menu McDonald's would be such a hit for them, but it was LOL. So apparently this is a fun spot to take out of towners visiting :) Everything tasted like you'd expect from McDonald's (not necessarily the best food lol) but the pistachio McFlurry alone is worth everything!!! Deff recommend checking out the menu online before you go so you can see what global items they're offering! They also offer curbside fyi! Oh - and how cool - some of the tables had built in mag safe chargers! I was impressed. read more
