Avoid this place like the plague, they always get the order wrong! This is the last time I'll be visiting. I've lost count of how many times we've visited and they've left things we've ordered out of the bag. The lady who runs the franchise could not care less and didn't respond to my attempt to contact her the last time I complained. The duty manager, Tom I think his name was, was also disinterested. And, let's face it, the food at McDonald's is always junk and this place is no different.

Gosforth Park McDonalds is the by far worst in the Newcastle area. Having lived in Gosforth for 8 years I have found the best McDonalds are at West Denton or Kingston Park, which are cleaner and have more consistent food quality. Gosforth Park is reliably poor in terns of quality of food and staff competence. Last visit was 7:30 pm on 13 August. BBQ Quarter Pounder burger was cold, with no salad or vegetables. I didn't expect it to look like the slick marketing photo, but I did expect it to at least be warm and contain something other than two cold, dry, meat patties. Gosforth Park is usually bad, but this is the last time they will disappoint me with their poor food preparation & service. On the plus side, the fries were hot and properly salted.

Was actually going to the Coop to get food and beer when wife said she fancied a McDonalds. I had a Big Tasty meal, she had a McChicken sandwich meal. The touch screen menu thing didn’t print a receipt, so had no idea which was our order. Process of elimination we worked it out. Took aaaaaaaaaaages for the food to come - and there was only 1 other person in the queue. Problem is all the Just Eat orders and drive through orders seem to get priority. Also saw the burgers go on a tray and there was clearly no fries ready - so they burgers were going to be cold waiting for fries. Sure enough, cold burgers and scalding hot fries. As for “Big Tasty” - sure it was big. Tasty? Nah. The burger just didn’t taste of anything. Bland. Definitely not worth 845 calories or the price - these things are awful compared to Five Guys or a decent burger place like Fat Hippo. If it’s not fast, and it doesn’t taste good, and it’s not warm, and it’s expensive - what’s the USP? The “restaurant” is also awful - constant beeps from the kitchen makes you feel like you’re dining in an A&E department. Dreadful place.

Very slow service. Nearly 20 mins from placing order to receiving food despite being the only customer in the restaurant. Maybe the drive through would have been quicker .

This is our local McDonald's and we visit maybe once or twice a month. No issues with the food, up to the usual cheap / cheerful generic McDonald's standard, but I have a major problem with the drive through service. We always use the drive through and I can honestly say in the last 7 visits, this one included, not once have they got the order right! There's always something missing. This time it was a burger. In the past it has been fries, sauces and more. One one occasion we ordered 4 meals and my wife's entire meal was missing. We didn't realise this until we got home so I had to drive back, queue for a second time and wait for the food. Meaning when I got home my own food was cold. Threre's another McDonald's at Kingston Park which we also use and we've not had an issue once. We now check our order every time before we leave the Gosforth drive through, it's that bad.

Incompetent doesn’t begin to explain the staff here. Have ordered in store, via drive through, via pickup, via just eat. ON EVERY occasion, they’ve messed up. Missing items, cold food, drivers not turning up, coffee split all over food. Given them 10+ chances and every time they fail! Use the Kingston park on instead, save yourself the hassle!!

For Naj at gosforth McDonald’s drive thru. Had a lovely and super friendly young man take my order on the drive through tonight, he was a sweetheart. I had a nightmare order and will admit I was a nightmare customer and he made my night with a quick laugh smile and banter which made me want to take him home and keep him 😂 naj you are fantastic! Keep up the great work and wonderful customer service! Never change! X

I really don’t want to even give them a rate tbh The customer service is ludicrous and really needs to improve I have never been to a McDonald’s that the staff talk customers like they are rubbish on your shoe We tried to order McFlurrys but got told they didn’t have them even though they were giving other customers McFlurrys Our food was freezing like it had been sat there for a while there was a dark hair in our food I have worked within a McDonald’s but have never felt like this I understand some times it can get busy but it was dead and also a Monday evening I will never return here that’s for sure I rang the restaurant up they did apologise and said they would have a word but I don’t see how that will change anything at all tbh but ok I wish I could just get my money I spent there back

I have ordered before and one time there was an issue when I ordered from JustEat where the driver dropped my food so we obviously couldn't eat food from the floor. The driver took the food back so I got a refund but I still had to pay for delivery. So, anyway I ordered our meal today from Uber eats. It's Sunday so I expect to wait for the order to leave the restaurant, no problem. Then, I get notified that the food is on its way and the driver has 1 stop before he gets to us, no problem. I'm waiting a while so I look at the map and the driver is in Wideopen which is about 10 minutes north of the Mcdonald's restaurant. We are about 12 minutes south of the restaurant. My problem is why are the staff at mcdonalds putting my meal in the same delivery as an area 22 minutes away from me. Our food was cold, obviously, and difficult to eat. The delivery is nearly £5 and the food isn't that cheap. I could have got some Chinese or Indian food for around the same price and they aren't usually cheap. Not happy. Just thought I'd share this experience in case someone wants to order delivery from the South Gosforth restaurant. I have never had an issue with the taste of burgers or any other food or drinks from the restaurant before. The restaurant just doesn't seem to know how to route deliveries if they are sending food to addresses quite far apart. When Mcdonald's food is cold I don't like it. The taste is gone. Like eating cardboard.

Used the drive through and placed a food order. Drove to the window to collect the food and almost instantly the lady handed the drinks over, immediately followed by a bag of food. “There’s your food” she said as she handed it over. I drove home to find they’d literally given me only the fries that went with the four meals! I was furious. It’s not the first time this restaurant has handed me an incomplete order. I should have known better and checked it before driving off. They’d not given me a receipt either. I drove back, went through the drive through again and after messing me around for 5 minutes they gave me the order. This time I did check it. Good job I did as there was two packets of fries missing!

Deeply disappointed today with the meals we ordered, the fries were not cooked and some even raw, the burgers were as dry as sticks and as tough as old shoe leather. I requested salsa with my mozzarella sticks however I didn’t receive any. This is the second time I have had a disastrous meal and I will absolutely not be wasting my money here again

The two staff on the shop floor were unbelievably rude with the lady even commenting “why is everyone thick today?” She went on to say she would take her time clearing a table to purposely make an elderly gentleman wait longer and the young lad was just barking orders at customers!! If these two are the best choice to put customer facing what on earth is in the kitchen? Then to top it all off couldn’t even get my order right 🤷♂️, avoid this place at all costs 👍

¡Evita este McDonald's a toda costa! Comí dos hamburguesas dobles de queso y terminé con intoxicación alimentaria severa. Los pedí por la noche, así que parece que pensaron que habían hecho las hamburguesas más temprano ese día y los dejé sentados por mucho más tiempo de lo que se suponía que debían estar, envié un correo electrónico al consejo y a McDonald's para informarles y McDonald's no pudo. Incluso me molestaré en volver a hablarme. La hamburguesa estaba helada cuando lo conseguí, ¡nunca más desperdiciaré mi dinero en sus productos!

a lot of money has been spent in modernizing the building but the place is still drafty and cold. I have in the past complained about the temperature but to no avail. There is something drastically wrong with the heating system.

Forgive me for another review of this Mcdonalds Gosforth but I have to tell you a little story. My son and I drove up on a whim into the drive through ordered 2 Mcflurrys, a milkshake, a Big Mac meal and I said to the guy 12 chicken nuggets please to which he replied sorry we can't do that sir we only sell portions of 6, 9 and 20. We laughed and I jovially confronted him at the next desk and he repeated the exact same answer, whoosh! Straight over his head, bless him. Still one of the best Mcdonalds though.
