Having spent more time in McDonalds over the past couple of years (with friends and friends who…read morehave children and babysitting a couple of grumpy teenagers now and again, and my other half and 2 teenage children), it has changed from my student days nearly 11 years ago. Before it was something that vaguely resembled meat on a soggy bun and watery coke to wash it down served with fries that were maybe potato in a previous lifetime (one good thing back then about McD's, they let you add the salt yourself rather than Wimpy and Burger King where the salt is added when they are cooked), the staff (rarely spoke and were definitely unhelpful) looked about as grey as the burgers and the decor and the furniture was functional not stylish (think lots of moulded plastic). Now they've done an about turn and realised that if they are going to survive they need to change. How have they changed? Well salads for a start, and I don't mean just a few limp bits of lettuce. The salad bowls are well thought out with good choices, garden salad (greens with tomato, cucumber, onion etc), grilled chicken salad and crispy coated chicken salad and Caeser salad (as well as being excellent portion sizes). With all the salads you are given the dressing in a tub, so its up to you how much you slather on. Also on the menu now are Quorn burgers (though I haven't tried these yet, but they actually look really good), so vegetarians now have a choice apart from the obligatory bean burger (which is hit and miss at the best of times). The deserts have also changed and there is now fresh fruit, fruit salads and I've also seen natural yoghurt served with mixed berries. .........and thats just for the adults. What about the kids? We've all seen the documentaries about how badly the kids (and adults!) of today are eating. You only have to turn on the tv to see Jamie Oliver campaigning about school dinners or the fast food documentary 'Super size me' (was it this that prompted some of McD's changes I wonder?) as well as the scary health programmes that tell us that most of todays kids will not have a very long life span thanks to the junk they eat. ............So that brings me back to what McD's now have on offer to children. Before it was chicken nuggets (and I've never seen chicken look like that) covered in ketchup (which is full of sugar and salt), although these options are still available they now offer chicken grills (mini proper chicken breast fillets grilled, no salt, no coatings), carrot sticks, veggie bites, grapes, apples, corn on the cob and fish bites (like fish fingers and 100% fish fillet). These are only a few of the now 108 items available to children for the new happy meals (prices range between 2.49 and 3.49 depending where you go). They also have a nutrition chart for their most popular products and their childrens basic menu printed on the back of the liners they use for the trays, so you can actually see that things are improving and they really are trying to cut down the amount of sugar, fat and salt in their food. Also available (if you ask a member of staff) is a booklet that contains the nutrition facts for every single product they sell (the information is also available on their website). Add to this mix, special offers on burgers that are only available for certain periods of time or on certain days (their Deli sandwiches which look very like Subway's sandwiches). The decor has changed and looks more Jasper Conran than eastern block with swish leather look stools and block sofas. Unfortunately the new look isn't going to last. Only a month after the furniture was changed I started noticing little tears in the fabric, stains on the wood tables and the children's art work which had been up on my previous visit had been removed to show that they had stuck it up with glue. The dried glue 'blobs' still attached to flaking paint. I'll give McD's their due the whole chain has tried to change but in some locations you aren't going to get people eating rabbit food (salads) or being respectful of the furniture. It is meant to be a high turn over restaurant and I have noticed the staff make a lot of fuss around you if you've been sat for more than 30 minutes (you try being quicker when you have kids in tow) if the restaurant is busy in a hope you'll hurry up and leave and vacate your seat for the next hungry hoard coming in. I don't like being rushed especially when I've paid for the privilege to sit down and eat and I've noticed this branch is worse than most at doing it. The toilets were grim and thats about as polite as I can be about them. I'm sure they were clean but the lack of respect I noticed by customer and also staff left the toilets in a very horrid state, with no proper handbasins only the metal wall mounted ones. I realise this is for space saving but I now make a point of trying not to use the facilities! Overall, I try now and avoid this and other McD's as much as possible their recent

It is conveniently located to the M77 so you can hop back on the motorway and pretend you were never there. I've found the food is pretty consistent - as good as McDonalds can be. It is open 24 hours BUT be warned: I once bribed a taxi driver to take me here (after our recent subcrawl adventures), even though it was his rule that he didn't do food runs. We arrived, and it was closed! I nearly cried. I was so intent on getting a cheeseburger I visited the next morning and they said there had been a hole in the drive through so they'd had to close! Cruel, cruel McDonalds. If you're going to be really picky about your Maccas, I find the one along in Thorniebank tends to be a bit better than this one in terms of food.

The double patty cheeseburger with bacon and various garnishes was tasty but very messy and not overly warm, the fries were not large despite being told they would serve 2 people and the juice was the usual weak flavour that you tend to get from the soda machines. We were charged nearly £35 for two burgers, one portion of 'large fries' and two cups of juice (free refills mind, but how much can you drink?) A nice burger but overpriced fries and juice, we left thinking meh, decidedly underwhelmed.

No matter what you order at Subway, be it chicken, ham, steak etc, and no matter what sauce, salad or bread you have, it will always taste EXACTLY THE SAME. That's not entirely a criticism, as it's a nice taste, but Quiznos is way ahead in my book, as is making your own sandwiches.

Five Guys, I didn't want our relationship to start this way. Let's pretend you're a potential beau…read moreon Tinder. You're telling me that you're the best burger place on the planet, the Willy Wonka of burgers. Your prices are high and I've got high expectations. Very high - because you told me I should have. I didn't get Willy Wonka, I got Dynamo - a pretty lacklustre attempt at something that everyone else has already done, and better (sorry Dynamo, it's true). So Five Guys came to Scotland and have opened a flurry of stores within a couple of months - there'll be 3 in Glasgow once Braehead opens. Do we need more burger places? No way, but the chains arrived anyway. I visited Silverburn for a late Monday lunch/early dinner and orders a little cheeseburger, little Cajun fries and a drink which came to £10.75. Pretty damn pricey, I'm sure you'll agree. The good: - the drinks machine and refills. - raspberry coke from the drinks machine. - Cajun fries have a lot of punch and are generally pretty good. - Toilets in store rather than having to leave to use the Silverburn ones. - some staff members - Tracey who took my order was nice and chatty, and the guy cleaning up was really nice and checked on what was wrong with my burger when I complained. The bad: - the burger. My bun (bottom half) was super doughy. So doughy I had to take it back and ask for another burger. The replacement one was only moderately better. The rest of the burger was decidedly meh. - the vibe. It feels like being in Maccas which might not be a bad thing if that's what you like but for the prices, it should be nicer. - the other staff. I sat near a group having a management meeting who didn't exude professionalism - shouting at staff returning from breaks and telling another staff member she couldn't sit near them while they had a meeting. It felt a bit high school. Maccas is opening nearby soon, and I'm really not sure how Five Guys will compete. Sure, people will visit once to suss it it out, but then I doubt they'll be back. I hope Five Guys prove me wrong.
