McDonald's in Thanet

29 miles into a run only had cash on me waited 10 mins to be served but the guy on the counter couldn't work out how to do the one person in the queues order asked for help they didn't know either at this point my patience had expired so I walked out! Terrible service, all I wanted was a milkshake

Food (breakfast) and service were fine, with no complaints. However, the Manageress (Lisa), brought around some surplus food to give out after breakfast, this is quite usual in most McDonalds restaurants. What wasn't usual was the amount of food, there are not normally such an enormous amount of surplus items. Furthermore, they do not normally give out used receipts to accompany the food, each receipt had the name Lisa written upon it, all pre-prepared, telling customers to write a review highlighting her name for good service, as she would receive a bonus for each one posted. I felt this was very unfair on other staff, not being able to do this (if they did, I suspect they would be in trouble for doing so). Why shouldn't the young man delivering food to tables, or the lady cleaning be allowed to do this?

Cold food and the coffee cups leak

App rarely works here according to the staff....

One of the good ones. Friendly staff and fast service. Well maintained rest rooms.

Popped in late evening on way home, lots of space to park, plenty of empty tables. Good efficient service, go there occasionally as a treat

Great grabbed a burger and a drink and also lady at drive thro had a dog treat for are little Frenchie

A nice lady brought me breakfast and a coffee, what's not to like

Good prices on coffee and hot choc Never buy burgers or chips

It's OK but this is the only McDonalds I have been to where you need to check your order before you leave as its often wrong

THEY ALWAYS LEAVE PART OF YOUR ORDER OUT WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU! INCOMPETENCE AT ITS FINEST! VERY ANNOYING.

Delicious and sundaes too, they stopped those in the uk some years ago. Plus a double filet 'o' fish wow. The single will never be good enough now

Just machinery and bored employees

What can you say about McDs? Relatively quick through drivethru and no mistakes on the order. I like the app, too, as it is easy to accrue points for free food.

All of our food was cold . Not happy .

Don't order on just eat two times in a row missing burgers not small things , a total waste of time

Always good for a quick breakfast

This is a nice place, spacious and with great facilities for children. Cosy and clean, we stopped there for breakfast and had a good rest.

They managed to mess up a big Mac. I know it sounds a bit trivial but two burgers on one layer and none on the other just shows a lack of care and attention.

Most times large chips are no bigger than medium lace cream only half full milkshake machine always broken

Don't care much for the new burger of the month the Philly Stack it's got that horrible squirty fake cheese all over it !!! Stick to the double quarter pounder it's so good

Despite an extensive refurb and layout change the planners have ensured that the delivery drivers have to push past customers waiting to collect their food, why put the delivery driver collection point furthest from the door 🤷‍♀️?

Completely messed up our order. No cheese in bacon cheese flatbread, instead burnt to the side! Burnt sausage in muffin, egg in a muffin that was ordered without, forgot to put 3 hashbrowns in the bag. Overall very poor

Got to be the worst in the area. Constantly forgetting items, foods been thrown together. Rude staff (the female’s mainly)

Getting awfully sick of ordering food for this particular McDonalds to consistently miss putting it in the bag! Fed up of ringing. It happens every-time. Basic skills wouldn't go a miss.

Good food had to wait a while for it to be ready - no milkshakes for the 3rd time recently

The order is wrong every time, even when ordering on the machines. Why doesnt 'no cheese' mean 'no cheese'!? And also when it is 'no cheese' why does that also mean to you no onions or gherkins!

No milk shakes. Missing certain dips that I had been able to order. Messy floors & dirty tables. Manager not aware of how the front of house looks as he was only concentrating on drive through. Worst McDonald's I have been in.

It has a 24 hour sign outside but the doors were locked and drive though closed but staff where still in the kitchen

Definitely a good McDonald's, faster than the Broadstairs McDonald's and the foods hot and fresh with friendly staff.

I think that this is the best eating place for miles, mainly because I work here.😁

Hands up only used the facilities which were lovely & clean

There should be one ⭐️ but the place itself may be interesting for children - 2 multimedia tables for games and activities and low tables. One of the worst places on the McDonald's list. We were here twice - mcdrive and in the restaurant. In both cases: very long waiting time - a lot of staff who simply didn't know what to do - as a result, our order was cold - we asked to replace the fries - and we received cold ones again 😂

Never been here in my life nor am I ever likely to.

Nice staff who helped me order as I have trouble using the screens

I ordered a plain cheese burger with ketchup,When it got to my house I opened the burger but the wrapper said "No mustard" but when I usually get that sort of burger it says "plain cheeseburger with ketchup" so I checked it and yall added pickles and onions,Bad place,These drinks were diabolical! Bring back the plastic straws,And get my order wrong next time,I will call your manager!

Love this McDonald's have been here a few times on the way back from places in Thanet like Margate and Broadstairs. Staff a lovely and are well trained. Well Done 👍

Not upto mark specially ambience

Food in my belly, what more can you ask for...

I get bad service waiting at till make a change too my breakfast order i get the egg i did not want ...to late am on motor way too complain ....other time i buy a large toffee latte and get just under a half a cup of the beverage :( poor standard all round minster McDonald's....

As McDonalds branches go, this is among the best branches I have ever visited... And truth be told, I visit a fair few. Clean, tidy and efficient. Enjoyed the creative décor etc for the World Cup and pride month too, nicely decorated!

Went through drive through, given hot and cold drink and told to park up. Waited nearly half and hour for food. Hot drink cold, and cold drink ice melted and was not the best cos of that. When the lady finally bought my food, I mentioned my drink was cold , she said that's not my fault. The correct response should have been sorry madam let me get you another one. Was fuming. Got home to eat and opened my burger the cheese was not in the burger but attached to the box, could get off to pop into burger eas stuck soggily.

Ordered 2 x double quarter pounders with cheese from drive thru. Imagine my disappointment to get back to our holiday cottage to find out we had been given singles!

Used the play area, daughter enjoyed. Very friendly and welcoming staff. ***Update*** Not sure what has happened here, took my daughter here 2 times in the last week, both times bought extra drinks after eating, both times had to wait 10 - 15 minutes for drinks. People who had ordered large meals after me were out 5 minutes before. really sad.

Usual McDonald's you get what you pay for.

Lovely friendly staff, even 4.00am when I come in with my kick scooter. Only place open in Thanet for insomniacs like me.

Prompt ordering, prompt payment and we were promptly handed exactly what we had ordered with a smile. It shouldn't be a surprise, but it really was!

Drive thru was unfortunately only taking cash and their apple pies were OOS. Service can't really be rated as you use self service points, the person on the drive thru could've been more enthusiastic when telling people about the card reader issues though.

It's McDonalds, so you know what you're going to get. Can't fault the staff though, who, despite technological issues, still managed to be friendly

Great place, classic tastes but delicious

It's Mc D.......what's not to like

Usual MC Donalds Fast Food. Rarely Fast and barely food.

[Update] Summer '24 - Milkshake machine down again... AGAIN. --------------------------------- Polite and helpful but lots of issues. Sometimes "technical difficulties" when trying to order via the app (I check other local ones at the time to make sure not an app issue). Milkshake machine down more often than not. Fruit bags with Happy Meals rarely in stock. Lots of power cuts. Many times "The tills have crashed, we can't serve anyone." Also had a few "We can't take card payments." Electrical and payment system needs an overhaul/replacement.

Food good. Forgor a few items of my order. Nice little play area for the kids

My kids love it in here playing and eating xx

Food was burnt & very dry as if it had been kept in the warmer for too long... The server was very rude, just threw their arm out the window without saying nothing as they were too busy talking to their colleagues, which was far more important! We asked them a question and got ignored...

Waited to long for drive through order to be ready and the food was cold.

Took the grandson. He loves the outdoor play pod. Food is fine, milkshakes lovely. Service a little slow due to drive in.

Food didn't take to long staff friendly and helpful

Took away so don't what the atmosphere was like but the atmosphere in the car was full on laughter

Went here with my family they didn't give us the right stuff. As well the guy had a pink eye and he didn't wear cloves. And they want you to pay for a rap of pickles when you can get it for free

Customer service manager was worth her weight in gold, friendly chatty and pleasant

Odd layout, entrance is opposite end of car park

Seems a clean and tidy restaurant. Staff were professional and helpful. Toilets seemed clean and tidy too.

Good location for a short dinner

Parents/elderly beware, fatal accident waiting to happen Speed ramps needed ASAP Due to its site layout and the complete absence of any speed ramps this McDonalds has created an extremely dangerous situation for its customers where all vehicles leaving the premises have to drive through the middle of the parking area to exit...and as I witnessed during my short visit some do so at very high speed !

As usual, they forgot half our order!

Very slow to getting food out to the customers both Drive-Thru and in side restaurant.

Foods not like the photos ! but clean in here .

Same old thing over cooked burgers 🍔 and again vehicles parked in the disabled bays with out blue badge,

The staff are always friendly and accommodating both via the Drive-Thru and within the restaurant itself.

Hot coffee compared to other branches . Fast service clean

I don't eat MacDonalds food at all however I do love there chocolate milkshake

Food always hot. Quick friendly service

Always use the drive through. Great customer service

Great place, helpful staff, but my Burger could have been Hotter!

Worst cheesburger ive ever had at a mcdonalds and that tells you something

The food is so poor here, always cold and looks like its been sitting for hours, one of the worst McDonald's I have been too.

Great store excellent service and staff 👏 👍 👌

A wonderful fine dining experience, chefs kiss 👨‍🍳😘

This place makes me feel so unsafe. Would not recommend taking children here.

Everything you expect for McDonald's

Tried the Philly cheese burger very nice

It's always slow! I pre ordered and still waited 20 mins in the car park. On top of this we were missing carrot sticks in the happy meal once we got home. I probably use McDonald's too much but this is the slowest by far.

Food of the gods. How can you rate a McDonald's?

Best MacDonald's I have ever been too, nice & clean with nice food that is not slapped together.. much better than other local MacDonald's...

Very neat and clean place. Employees were continuously cleaning to ensure great experience. Fries were fresh and hot, however nuggets felt a bit stale.

Quick and easy breakfast through the drive-through. Came out fresh, hot, and delicious (which to be honest, you don't get from every McDonalds nowadays!). Very good.

I do not think that I would useì

Such a good spot for a maccas, I prefer to sit in and there's always space as I think the drive thru is more popular due to the location, it's not a destination it's a stop off. Kids play area looks pretty sweet too but I'm too big...

Why do they serve relatively cold food!

Food a bit cold at busy times but basically it's a mc Donald's and does what it says on the tin.

Extremely busy , food was OK and hot which matters.

Had food 4 times from here all takeaway ,gone collected . Couldnt stop pooping following day on first 3 ..puking at 3 am on 4th .never again .

Large car park, quick service, easy access, well stocked, and clean

they forgot my order and kept serving everyone that came after me ..after a point you'd think they wonder why someone keeps waiting at the colection side and hasnt been served yet..

Mc donalds is well... mc donalds, great for kids, nice food, cheap and easy, play areas are great for kids to play and have fun

Do not know why, but the entrance is at the far end of the building away from the car park

Standard McDonald's, queueing system for the drive thru is silly, restricts access to the car park and one lane is not enough for traffic flow.

We find the place clean and the staff are polite and helpful
