Review of McDonald's in Barrow, Clitheroe…read more
Poor. When I say Poor, I mean poor even by the standards of a fast food restaurant.
Ordering at the drive-thru is like pulling teeth and you'll nearly always be asked to park up and told that they're cooking your food fresh and will bring it out when it's ready. (Don't they always cook your food from fresh or am I being silly???)
Anyway, they will hand you any drinks or ice cream before you move away from the window, which I've now realised, isn't the best idea in the world. I say this because they often take so long to bring out your food that milkshakes and McFlurry's can have turned to milk whilst you're waiting. For this reason, I'd suggest you ask them to bring out drinks and ice-cream fresh with your food.
When they do arrive with your food, I'd also strongly suggest you check the contents of the bag before driving off as they regularly give you the wrong food or will have missed out something that's already been ordered and paid for.
I find they are not too bad during the week when managers are on duty and working the shop floor. However, weekends are something else altogether. I would imagine weekends to be the busiest times for McDonalds yet there are few managers working so service tends to be absolutely appalling.
An example of how naff they can be at weekends is when I once opened a chicken sandwich and found the top half of my bun was missing. I kid you not. It was just a chicken fillet with mayo and salad balancing precariously on top of one piece of bread....
