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.

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.

They had the Chinese crinkle cut garlic fries and it was so good. The ghost pepper mcchicken was actually pretty spicy and it builds up. Got the Italian nuts waffle cone and that was just original vanilla icecream with chocolate fudge and nuts but also pretty good. Lots of people but enjoyed it a lot!

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.

3 McPops Mix

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.

3 McPops Mix

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.

Big Arch: (2) patties, (3) white cheese, crispy onions, slivered onions, pickles, lettuce, sauce on a sesame & poppy seed bun
Joneice B.

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.

Order kiosk.
John D.

Did not dine in due to limited global options where 3 of the 9 global items were unavailable. Zero veggie options. Only Big Arch looked tempting but passed on it. Overall, a letdown.

Global mcwrap

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.

Different menus & dishes from different's countries
George S.

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. Belinda; she is the best; You can definitely feel the atmosphere of a global McDonald's. I would absolutely return; it was interesting, tasty, and truly delicious.

Next door Hamburger University world headquarters
Jeffrey J.

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.

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.

Jackie R.

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.

Despite all the hype, it's really an average smash burger. This is a place that has capitalized on…read moresocial media hype and people wanting to say they've been here and thus are cool and trendy. But it is seriously just a greasy smash burger. Their fries are good, and actually stand out more than the burger. Everything is overpriced. I don't know why people complain about the wait; do some research like a responsible adult. I never just walk into a place and expect to be immediately seated, I call first - like anyone who has some sense. If they tell you the wait is 2 hours and you have 2 hours to kill, there are a bunch of bars in the area where you can have some drinks and an appetizer (and not feel like you're stiffing Au Cheval; they're the ones with the 2 hour wait, what do they expect people to do?) Not much to say about the decor or ambience; it's a typically loud West Loop bar with mostly 20 - 30 somethings all trying to one-up each other with their trendiness that instead makes them all basically clones of each other. It is crowded, and you're a moron if you think any place like this is suitable for your 5 year old. That's not the restaurant's fault - it's not Chuck E Cheese. Often I wish Yelp offered a 1/2 star option, because there are places that are a 4.5 or a 3.5. Not in this case. 3 stars is spot-on.

There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

I know it's not the original location which can play a part as well. What I really enjoyed and even finished my friend's were the fries. I love some good fries and these were top quality.
