McDonald’s Restaurant

I don’t eat meat and my friend recently bought me a veggie burger from here. They had given me a meat burger instead. They have no consideration for people who don’t want to eat unethical factory farmed meat. I was also having lunch with my sister once, we only had 30 minutes before we had to go back to work. In the whole of that time, she had been served and eaten her food and mine still hadn’t been served. She then had to back to work, I now had no time to eat it and was not going to shove it down my neck while walking. I asked for a refund and the girl at the till accused me of lying, saying my food had already been served. The manager then found my order on one of the sides, stale and cold. I asked for a refund AGAIN, but he just put some more fries in, shoved it in a paper bag, then expected me to be happy with it. Rude, idiotic staff. No consideration for the customers. Will never go back there.

This is one of the busier branches of McDonald’s as it is located right in the centre of Basildon. I really am not a big fan of their burgers. I think you can get a much tastier burger at kebab shops which cook them on the barbecue. McDonald’s biggest rival Burger King also do a better job at cooking burgers. And filet of fish? No thanks. Chicken sandwich? Better choice at KFC. Sandwiches? I would rather go to Subway to be honest. So I do not see any particular reason to visit McDonald’s when you can get better food elsewhere. I do like the chips here though again I would rather get the big fat ones from the chippy. Sorry McDoanld’s, I’m just not a fan.

This restaurant gets very busy but that it because it is in the centre of Basildon Town Square (near Superdrug and Lloyds Bank). There is an upstairs which is often dedicated to Children’s parties — which I enjoyed regularly when i was at junior school.
The food has always been satisfactory. They sell the standard burgers and chips that come straight out of the fryer nothing too impressive but you know what to expect when you visit McDonalds.
If you like McDoalds then you will like this restaurant, but Saturday at any time makes it incredibly difficult to sit and enjoy lunch as everyone is watching you and waiting for you to even think about moving so they can ask if they can have your table. This doesn’t exactly make for a pleasant eating experience!
