Everytime we order they always miss something off, can’t even make a meal right at all, missing patty from Mighty McMuffin, missed off the hash browns. This is happening all the time now, JustEat are going to think I’m ripping them off with the amount of times I’ve had to get a refund for things

It must be the most brocken Macflury machine in the world. Even if you order a macflurry in the app when you get there they tell you that the machine is off. Cramlington Macdonald's is much better. Don't waste your time in this Macdonald

Generally terrible. In store is usually filled with ratty kids fighting and shouting abuse at each other. Staff just watch and take no action. 3 times in a row I've made orders via Uber and there are missing items (Is it that difficult to check a bag has the items listed on the sticker before sending it?) The store takes no accountability and simply says to get a refund through Uber.. The reason I'm writing this review is due to this literally happening AGAIN just now..

Asked for a chicken nugget happy meal, plus a separate burger. Was handed 2 buggers, which I didn't realise til I was home after an hour round trip walking. Did I ask too much?

Did anyone else noticed they are out of fizzy drinks or milkshakes. No alternative to fizzy drinks so you end up having a drink that you didn't want. Also, recently they must of changed chemicals that they prepare the fries in as these are gooey and have no taste. They are no longer a value meals as quality dropped, price increases every few months and service is awful. I can get a tastier meal at Greggs next door.

Absolutely shocking, by far the worst macdonalds I’ve been to. How can you miss an entire meal off an order? My daughter has had to wait another hour for them to deliver her meal again on more than one occasion. I’ve left feedback, rang up the restaurant and even had the receipt showing the items on that were missing and they did nothing to rectify their mistake. And PLEASE don’t make the mistake of having anything delivered from them. They’ve delivered empty cups where all the drink has spilled out, there is always stuff wrong with the order, the food is always cold, condiments always missing, fries half full… it’s like a gamble ordering from them.

Went to it last Friday around 7.30pm The new setup is dreadful I waited 25 mins for my order had to ask someone t9 check where it was She brought it out with no apologies for our wait When we got home, food was cold.

Ordered a family meal for delivery. Only the chips were delivered. Couldn’t contact them so went to store with our incomplete order. They refused to help. The manager said the delivery driver had probably stole them. He took back our incomplete order and left us with nothing and no refund and a hungry family. His name was Sam. His uniform was scruffy and dirty and he had food all over his face. He probably ate our family food. Disgusting customer service.

Seem to prioritise home delivery over in store service. Took 15 minutes for something basic. Definitely not fast.

Service has declined since re-opening, I know it's hard to believe as not good before but worse now. Very, very slow at drive through. Even though all I want is a coffee, the wait between ordering and getting your item is ridiculous, you sit ages getting to the collection window no one seems to get parked up, you can see your coffee but you can't get to it due to people in front of you. When you finally get it it has sat there a while. All you can see through the window is people setting up delivery orders. Going inside is worse. Service desperately needs looking at, don't know what has changed but it's not working. Managers, get organised and get the children who work there some traing on how to move a bit faster whilst getting order right. I know it's may be hard for them to multi task, but customers will be lost.

Worst customer service. We haven’t gone back to this place since last October. As soon as we got there, it started storming and it caused part of the ceiling to collapse. We took a photo to ask a family member to pick us up as we didn’t have umbrellas with us and it seemed impossible to walk home. Then this plump female staff, possibly a manager misunderstood that we were taking a video on TikTok or something, approached us and condescendingly/aggressively told us not to take a video saying stuff like “do you need to do that?”. We just ignored her the first time but she harassed us again when I pointed the phone towards the flooding ceiling(I wasn’t taking a photo or anything), and my friend eventually got into a fight with her. What a Karen.

With some branches we've visited the burgers look like they've been through a steam roller and they are always luke warm. Sometimes the fries are cold too and I can't stand cold chips/fries. Yesterday we decided to have a bite in here as we had a concert in Gateshead and didn't have long before we needed to leave. I had the McSpicy and hubby had a double quarter pounder with cheese. We both had fries. The burgers looked like burgers and weren't like pancakes. The fries were lovely and hot. We really enjoyed it. The negatives are that we used the self service screen as the counter was so busy with just eat, Uber etc. It didn't give us a number or receipt so I had to go to the counter anyway. It seemed to be pandemonium behind the counter but the guy I spoke to was very pleasant. No one came out to look at the self service machine and it kept happening. The delivery drivers all congregate and clog up the counter. I would return and the branch has restored my faith in getting a good burger and fries quickly and one that's edible. Thanks 👍🏻

Food is always on point at any McDonald's really. now the service at Blyth McDonald's let's talk about that, the uber eats has ruined the experience of eating in the restaurant, you order your food and are waiting ridiculous times because the 20 uber drivers must be served first for some reason? The workers done all the lesser orders that were behind mine just because they feel like they have achieved more but over look and forget my order, when they were finally doing mine he almost dropped all my food on the floor I just thought typical I've waited 30mins for an in restaurant experience just for this guy to spill my food and sit for an hour. Terrible experience in the Blyth restaurant and it gets worse everytime I go. Atmosphere. . . Its changed for the worse, its mainly a depot now for uber to collect meals, more drivers sitting at the table than people eating. Excuse my bad writing, I'm ticked off abit

After waiting 25 minutes at this rotten Dump for my 'fast food' order I complained, after another 5 minutes they gave me my order which was freezing cold and incorrect with half the items missing. I asked for the manager and was confronted by a disgusting, overweight Karen with the world's biggest attitude problem who refused to do anything to fix the problem before walking away.
