McDonald's in Cardiff

To echo other reviews, this mcdonals consistently get the order wrong. Even missing things in boxes (4 selects rather than 5) and always take an age to process through the drive through. Just make sure to check everything in your order when ordering here!

DESPITE ALL THE POOR REVIEWS THIS SITE IS STILL RUN BY THE SAME FRANCHISE - YASH CO LTD. CLEARLY MCDONALD’S COULDNT CARE LESS. After making the effort of actually walking in to order, I then had to wait for almost 30 minutes for my order. The order, although customised, was not during preparation. The fries were cold and tasteless, the chicken wrap was missing the bacon, the cheeseburger still had the gherkin, the milkshake was warm, and had turned to just a warm drink. The staff really could not care less. The excuse was short of staff, but the staff still managed to service the drive-through and at least a dozen McDeliveries. This franchise does not deserve the mcdonalds brand. I'll also make sure I leave a similar review on social media as I think this site needs closing and retraining.

very slow, food was cold, waited 45 mins for 2 coffee and nuggets meal, every other time I have been there they are always slow.

Arrived at 7am on a Saturday morning ordered a Bacon Roll meal and a Mighty McMuffin meal going through the drive through. Waited 10 minutes at the service window. My Bacon roll was not even in the paper properly , the hash browns were tepid at most. The bacon roll was cold and the mighty McMuffin was tepid also. I don't mind waiting food if it is going to be served hot and wrapped properly . Avoid all costs

The self service machines not working and nobody to serve you at the counter

Fast and efficient service. Food was piping hot. All special requests were adhered to. Excellent all round!

Waited in the drive through queue over 17 and 15 minutes on consecutive visits in past fortnight. The restaurant seem to refuse to put anybody in the park up bay and insist on causing queues on to the road . The delivery drivers use the disabled bays and you are guaranteed at least one item unavailable per visit (usually milk shakes). Also, why does this restaurant not salt their fries?? Really poor experience.

Very busy mcdees burgers were lovely, service was grumpy and I only had cash. The server wasn't happy.

Mostly crowded and poor service

Massive swings between good and bad food, no consistency in weather you get cold or hot food, and hot drinks are just as bad.

Unfortunately was sold cold fries, don’t really understand how that is hard to miss?

You always know what you're getting and it's easy.

Staff member who served me was uninterested in his job, needs training on customer service

Poor delivery driver wrong address

Sadly they do not sell any Dr Pepper and that is terrible how they’ll sell other drinks but not dr pepper

A missing chilli burger and missing fries and no straws with the order. Poor service and unacceptable really.

The worst McDonald's restaurant I would say. Tables not cleaned from the night before. Bins full and not emptied. Dirty toilets at times. Really poor service - noone on the front desk area leading to customers having to ask for service. Poorly managed by someone who clearly needs management / customer service training. To update, two months later and still the worst McDonald's I've visited. Arriving at 7.30, tables dirty and bins full. Asked manager to clean, she was rude saying she'd only just arrived. I asked for a cloth to clean it myself and she replied that she would do it....she didn't. Awful manager who has previous for rudeness, probably think she's too good to clean...she isn't. It took the helpful front of house to come in at 8.00 and clean. Surely the manager should ensure seating area is clean as her first priority?

wraps were rushed as they were literally missing half of their ingredients

After a failed delivery from a previous order just less than an hour ago I was grateful that the driver turned up at all and in good time.

food was cold ordered it at 10 took ages and came cold

I ordered McDelivery from this outlet and I received my burger and kids meal without nothing. No straw for drink No tissue Not even a single ketchup What a waste/ what kind of people/ never going to order McDelivery. This was first time I tried the McDelivery. Spoiled my lunch and my mood

behaviour of customer service bad

Ordered a Fanta and got a water 🤦🏻‍♂️

My order was wrong no dips and i was given nuggets instead of selects

The service is so slow at this particular site at Cardiff gate. I’ve been here Number times and always waiting at least 20 minutes half hour for food to come when sitting in.

Always missing items. This time it's my daughter's whole meal! SMH.

Bad service Very slow and rude team members

The night staff one guy and another girl was very bad service they take long time smoking outside but other side the customer are waiting if you ask them when they back from break they said they dont know anything they don’t even know how to behave with customers. I don’t know how McDonald’s give job to this type people. Very bad service for night if you came at night for food then you will realise what I mean Cheers

No sauces no straws, this has happened 4 times now!! Missing item, please check order before it leaves!!

very polite driver who was very professional and polite, food was still hot and lovely .

Items missing 2 muffins not in ordef

Order is always late, food always arrives either freezing cold or items missing from the order every single time! Just eat and the restaurant both refuse to compensate

Order took 2 hours to arrive. I drove to the restaurant and the staff were rude and unhelpful.

Items missing an food freezing cole

Food was left outside, bag ripped open

Ment to have hot chocolate had orange juice instead and don’t like orange juice

Whilst Just eat do their job and get the food delivered promptly McDonalds Pontprennau once again serve up cold fries, burger and Chicken Selects!! Wrong or no sauces for Selects too! No straws for drinks either!! I’ve yet to have the correct order or even one that’s hot from this McDonalds! So Pontprennau McDonalds Cardiff please sort yourselves out!! Just Eat though can’t fault you or the delivery driver, that’s the only thing that went ok!

I assure you, any other McDonald’s is better than this one,after literally 20 minutes of waiting at a non busy time, got my burger completely wrong and forgot my 6 chicken nuggets, was stuck with 2 crying children when I got home, worst part is this is not the first time this McDonald’s makes a mistake with my order, should I learnt to chose a new McDonald’s the first time however now I’m 100% sure the chances I have gave this restaurant was a complete waste of my time.

No sauce that I payed for no straws to drink out of and food was cold. Wouldn’t recommend tbh terrible service

all ok would have been better if it was hotter.

I was missing my strawberry lemonade. Thats what i ws most looking farward too

wrong order again!! this is happening more and more!

Half my order was missing get worse won’t be ordering from you again

Shocked to write this, but the food was warm, the order was correct, the chip portions were full plus I got a straw AND a dip!!!! Totally shook.

Driver was great, food was cold

Ordered sauce’s didnt come and a drink with no straw too : )

My experience of McDonalds takeaway service is really BAD. No straws , no sauces no serviettes and 80% of the time only warm if you eat it quickly .I feel we are treated as SECOND class citizens. My problem is I really like a burger McDonald should give more training to staff . As takeaway service is bigger since COVID lockdown and need vast improvement

Food turned up freezing cold. Had to re-warm the food. Delivery was on time.

Burgers squashed , service for breakfast slow. Luke warm coffee.

freezing fries half the order was missing

bland boring no flavor, Patti thin like paper and floppy, no seasoning just a bland cardboard taste to burger, no love in mc Donald's burger no more, chips not frys no more, pale nearly white looking floppy no seasoning again very disappointed feels like Mc Donald's lost its identity and lost the love in their food. understand high turnover so they shrank stuff and they trying to be healthier by removing ingredients but they basically lost theirselfs in higher demands and lost the love 😟

Delivery was great. Food came and nothing was missing, I even had sauces and straws!

Good food Great service quick delivery

McDonald’s so unhelpful when order was missing items and extremely rude on the phone!!

no straws or the sauces that I ordered considering those sauces are 50 pence a pot and 3 were meant to arrive with my order I'm abit annoyed.

SHOCKING SERVICES. Sent wrong order and said there’s nothing they can do when I rang up and I know just eat won’t refund me. The drink was spilt as well

the big mac tasted strange and smelt like alcohol?

Food arrived on time and piping hot Thank you

Driver was a life saver as I had ordered to the wrong address and had to get on my scooter no shoes just socks and pjs and he gave me my food

I would like a refund the ice cream was melted the big tasty there was just a burger in it nothing else and the box was battered and there were no chips in the bag at all

Breakfast was fresh, but no table service, and a very small car park

My order didn’t come just had a Coca-Cola

not delivered to the right address can’t get hold of driver

Gave me a bag which had a drink that had fallen in the bag in it was dripping everywhere apparently not his fault plus had a car full of mates not very professional at all

missing my cheese bite share box

I want my money back because it's was to cold thank you

Claims 24/7 but was closed due to a changeover? Not great.

One mc plant allthough it says on the box it is with extra patte it wasn't

Food came cold as per usual also payed 4.00 for a happy meal for my child which came with a toy box with no toy in it very big disappointment

Everytime I order the driver rings and says he's there I spend so much time going from the front to the back and the driver nowhere to be seen only for him to call and say he's lost and I will have to find him to pick my food up when I eventually get my food it's cold not worth it

Food arrived on time and nice and hot.. thank you

I have a feeling it might have been a Just-Eat issue, but advertised 15-30 minutes, ordered at 8:56am, arrived at 10:36am. Constant flux of updated estimated order time with no reason and importantly no option to cancel updated to be very late

Had missing items and chips tasted burnt but was still nice

I’ve said this before but nothing ever changes. SOME OF THE DRIVERS DO NOT BRING THE ORDER TO THE DOOR AND I HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO COLLECT THE FOOD. IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Food was decent but driver was extremely rude.

Constantly getting orders wrong. And also taking so long i ordered a burger and a drink i was waiting 45 mins.then forgot one burger while were in the restaurant. Complaint and she took a burger out of another bag and gave it to me.

Always something missing from here!!!

driver tried pulling a fast one by not giving my drinks do not send him to Mt address again

Ordered for the family yet again for the second time this establishment messed up again by missing an item, I cannot understand that the receipt confirms the items required yet clearly this is not followed, I would rather members of staff taking their time to ensure all items are included, this happened first time and I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt as first time errors but a second time. I can happily say I will be going elsewhere as clearly staff are not competent to follow a receipt in black and white for confirmation or even on a digital screen is beyond me. If you order your food online, be prepared for missing items, and yet the restaurant don't even pick up the phone. Would rate 0 if able to do so, disappointing is an understatement.

perfect driver didnt try taking food

My brother's food was warm, however an item missing. My food was cold.

Very clean premises staff friendly

Took nearly an hour to deliver and when it turned up, was completely the wrong food. Tried to call the restaurant multiple times but no answer. So I’ve paid £20 for no food and cannot get through to McDonald’s

food was freezing cold and wrong items delivered

As McDonald's go I like this one actually listen to your order and always clean tables use it regularly

missing main order big tastywith bacon and wrong drinks

The food was cold and arrived late

For the second time my nuggets had no dip and the delivery driver wanted me to go out to meet him to collect my order. I had to insist that he came to my front door as I had no shoes on. Not the first time this has happened either

I ordered the meal for 4 ppl and a meal for 2 was delivered. no happy at all

Recientemente visité el McDonald's en Cardiff Gate y estaba extremadamente decepcionado. El restaurante estaba muy sucio, con mesas y pisos no limpiados correctamente. Peor aún, había un fuerte olor a fumar en el interior, lo que hizo que toda la experiencia fuera incómoda. Está claro en las fotos que tomé que el lugar no está siendo mantenido correctamente. Definitivamente no regresaré pronto. Esperaba una mejor limpieza y un ambiente más agradable de un #McDonald's.

delivery took forever and then there was items missing

Shocking. Didnt get order right again. As thick as their milkshakes

**Disappointing Experience at McDonald's Cardiff Gate** I recently visited the McDonald's at Cardiff Gate and was extremely disappointed. The restaurant was very dirty, with tables and floors not properly cleaned. Even worse, there was a strong smoking smell inside, which made the entire experience uncomfortable. It's clear from the pictures I took that the place is not being maintained properly. Definitely won't be returning anytime soon. I expected better cleanliness and a more pleasant environment from a #McDonald's.

Each time we order in person takes at least half an hour for a happy meal. Ridiculous. Drive through is horrendous and they always get part of the order wrong. I understand it’s very busy but seems no organisation or structure to getting good ready. Too slow. But a good Times.

AMAZING customer service from manager Hannah after our just eat driver was rude and forgot over half of our order may I add that it was over £60 and only got given 2 bags?! We have young children and one with a severe heart condition… she made sure that we had our food and made it fresh after he had to go back after rudeness and ignorance Thank you Hannah ☺️

my order was delivered somewhere else no code was given and the driver didn’t try to contact me .

Items missing. Wrong item delivered. Food cold.

Amazing customer service from Hannah the manger from McDonald’s horrible experience with the delivery driver

Not 24/7 wanted food at 4am after work. Edit: does anyone actually work here lol waited 10+ minutes at the window at 4:15am no answer. Not like you're busy at that time of day. Quite possibly the worst branch ever.

the food was cold and was nasty
