I will at least give this restaurant credit for being consistent, consistent in being probably the worst McDonald's in the UK. From cold food, to incorrect orders, that's of course if they have items to begin with. Don't even bother trying to complain , you're met with a vacant look and an attitude that you've inconvenienced them. If I was to hazard a guess this disaster of a place is probably down to the care free attitude of the staff. unless your desperate AVOID AT ALL COST.

Thus is handy Location and plenty room but 2 weeks running I've gone drive through and discovered only been given half portions of chips when parked up my car, being disabled isn't possible to go in to complain! Will go to Berwick one next time as they never short measure we half portions! 😡

Given this place a chance on several occasions. Rubbish outlet, never has, milkshakes or the feature menu available. Probably relies on A1 single visit customers, so not concerned enough about service provision/quality.

We were waiting for ten minutes for a table and managed to finally get a table, we were waiting for it to be cleared up when Pauline came over and told us we can’t sit at this table we waited and asked as there was a family of four who needed the table who just walked in and didn’t even wait. This isn’t how McDonald’s work it’s first come first serves and she guiltripped us and kicked us out. We finally found another table but it’s ridiculous how we got kicked off the table. She was very rude and not welcoming, pointing and complaining about us the co workers all we wanted to do was get lunch.

This has to be the world’s slowest serving McDonald’s. I travel up and down the A1 to Edinburgh on a regular basis and just thought the drive through was having an off day, 15 mins in the queue just for a coffee with only two cars ion front of me, the staff have the enthusiasm of a dead sloth and are thick as mince, even when I go in to grab a coffee rather than use the drive through they are extremely slow and staff just seem to stand around with vacant looks on there faces standing around doing F*** all. ABSOLUTELY USELESS

this "restaurant" really needs to get a grip, it proudly states it is open 24/7 yet anyone trying to enter the place after 10pm is locked out, the place is thus guilty of false advertisement at best.. if you don't allow customers after 10pm make it known on your signs.The food is often cold and the staff are in need of retraining (some need to be removed entirely) - the place has been degrading over time and it is by far the worst of the worst in the local area.It thrives on tricking customers from motorway for quick bites, that's it.. also with the way McD's has removed most of their breakfast menu this place is even more of a relic.The entire place needs a massive upgraded; start by sacking the current management, who clearly don't care.. especially the night crew (or get rid of night crew and stop falsely advertising to be 24/7)

Horrific woman on the door, Monday 27th January, 12.30pm. Shouting at customers, we did the track and trace on the board she rammed in our faces, after we completed it she denied us entry as we hadn't shown her the completed form on our phones, so we did it again, as my husband went to turn his phone around to show her she rolled her eyes didn't even look and shoved us through the door. Disgusting behaviour with a really nasty attitud. We will be making an official complaint to head office. This was the same case towards all customers trying to enter for lunch.

Drive-thru: Cold chips, a wait in the bays for a straightforward order and five delightful lads fighting in the car park throwing stones at each other, no sign of staff to move them on. Should have realised when the car park and drive thru were so quiet on a Saturday early evening.Will not be returning, this was a decent branch a few years back, not any more.

Staff always very pleasant but this has got to be the slowest fast food place ever !! So 9am Saturday morning, busy with folk wanting breakfast drive thru , 1 order point closed , queuing traffic ( and once you're in there's no way of getting back out , you're trapped) . Took about 15 minutes wait with irate drivers in front and behind . The rest of carpark not busy so probably not many customers inside. Breakfast at McDs is about the last remaining edible food now , the Big Macs are rank and other burgers dry and many orders wrong . Cmon McDs the rest of the world is going to surely you can keep us going with breakfast that we can get straight away .Once eventually got the food was good . But cmon stop the queues does my nut in

Arrived Sunday morning around 7.40am to be turned away from the front door and told by a cleaner that there was no access to the restaurant. I was told to order through the app and they would deliver to my van in the car Park but the app wouldn’t work. My van was to big to fit through the barrier so I walked up to the drive through which was operating as normal and tried to place my order and walk through the drive through to collect my order but was told I couldn’t walk in the drive through so was refused my breakfast. Having driven for several hours with my plan to stop at Dunbar for my breakfast was disappointing to say the least. There was no explanation of any description why the restaurant service was unavailable which seemed very strange as the drive through was operating as normal although only if you had a vehicle that fitted through the barrier

What could possibly go wrong, electronic menu system to order, put in order for 4 x breakfast meals.... With hash browns and drinks.. Cute is in meal deal (you'd think) no receipt, tell manager the machine is it off till roll... Nothing except " do you want a receipt?" I stated no, its just there is no printer roll so it will need replacing! Still nothing. Get back to campsite after asking for a drinks carrier and get given a 2x drinks carrier just to make things awkward and dish out the breakfasts to kids and Mrs... Oh no, I'm missing a hash brown.... How when you ask what I've ordered and also its stated on the screen could you get something so wrong!!!! Appalling

After several previous visits with no issues, today was the worst out of any. Fries tasted like they were pulled out far too early, soggy as hell, the first time I have never finished my fries, minging. Fast food should not equal crap food. The new McSpicy was rubbish, the previous chicken deluxe was far better. The new lids may be eco friendly but they are not customer friendly as not as secure. When the wife took her drink the lid came away resulting in the juice going all over her, then having to buy clothes in Asda next door.

We went through the drive thru as we were out shopping and just wanted to eat in the car. Received order, parked up and food was freezing cold, also only gave one straw for two drinks. My partner went into the restaurant and got fresh food but again chips were cold and could tell they weren't fresh also didn't give us the dip to go with cheesy bites so back my partner went again!! Also the strawberry milkshake had to be swapped as it was white and foamy.Very disappointed and won't be in a hurry to go back. Think the manager needs to get a grip.

We had real trouble sorting the app on our phones as its problematic (we were told this after 20mins of faffing with it) so we got up and used a machine to order instead. We waited a further 15 to 20 mins for our food qland it wasn't even hot. We went to the bathroom and I went in first. I called for my little girl to come in only for some stroppy cow to tell me she wasn't allowed. I told her my little girl wasn't being left to which she replied 'I'm here. I sat and watched like a hawk to see this woman allegedly watching my daughter while she wandered round clearing tables. Covid or not...parent takes care of child and shes lucky I didn't slap her.

Manager was a girl who clearly didn’t care and no one was listening to. Visit was at 3 on a Thursday so it wasn’t exactly busy.

Visited A few times since this place opened and the speed of service shows no signs of improving. The chips seem to always be stone cold and dried up, perhaps they are cooking too many at one time? The staff are great and apologised for forgetting and item and replaced the fries, however, the long wait and unreliability of actually getting hot food can’t be forgiven forever! People don’t mind airing if whatbthey actually get is hot and tastes good! Finally, staff were doing a great job of cleaning the tables, but seem to ignore the floor under the tables, despite there obviously being rubbish, dropped chips etc

This place is awful. Starting with the food, the chips were stone cold.My food took forever to arrive, which i don't understand as there must have been 7 or 8 members of staff apparently doing nothing.2 of the 3 toilets in the ladies room had no lock.Anyway, my biggest beef with this place is the attitude of the staff.1. I heard one member of staff being reprimanded in full view of restaurant for taking food out with his break time.2. Someone must have been going on holiday at the end of their shift as everyone was shouting "See you in 2 weeks, LOVE YOU!!"3. The manager said loudly to one member of staff, pointing to something on the ground "Pick that up!" Just do it yourself as your staff are hopeless4. Someone must have been pregnant as I heard "Oh shes been trying for ages, hasn't she?"5. Someone was singing Bob the BuilderGeneral shouting and capering all in full view of manager.

Eventually supervisor sitting in booth noticed and went to get a team member before returning to the booth some more important business on their mobile phone.The problem did not end there as you then joined the long collection line for a further lengthy wait.

I asked if someone had forgotten to order the rolls and he confirmed this. Finally served food and the soft drink came with a coffee cup lid because they had run out of lids too.

We have been here a few times much to my disdain as every single time we go it’s at least a 20 minute wait, decided today to try the drive thru as it would be quicker, right? Wrong! Arrived at drive thru 17:34 ordered a milk shake, didn’t have any fair enough these things happen, just ordered a plain burger, 4 cars in front of us, finally got to food window at 17:56, handed burger, checked it was plain, it had ketchup on it & was lukewarm, my hubby went back in & the guy was nice enough & got him a plain one straight away. We will prob be back as the kids have this as a treat when we are at our caravan but the waiting times need to improve dramatically!

Special mention to the very friendly staff at this particular McDonalds, the whole place was immaculately clean, I know it’s pretty newly built but the staff have kept it at almost new conditions.

The weird thing about McDonald's is that it is so consistent, the service and taste are the same whether you're in New York, London, Toyko, some small town in the American Midwest, or Dunbar. Except somehow in Dunbar they get the taste right but the service is just terrible, time after time. To be sure, not every time. But there is a problem with this franchise, in that wait times -- in person or at the drive thru -- are much longer than they should be, far too often. And there are errors in orders. I don't understand how McDonald's head office doesn't get involved and sort things out.

I found this site very clean, quiet and with very friendly service. Even the toilets were clean and the parking was easy too.

One member of staff continually kicks paying teenagers out of the restaurant when they have done nothing wrong. I saw one incident recently were teens had just walked into the restaurant and where about to pay for a meal when the staff member told them they had to leave, when they explained they just wanted something to eat she snapped at them and escorted them out. This is not how to run a successful business.

A so-called fully automated outlet with touch screen ordering which is anything but. Slightly different order took me to the counter instead to wait ages for a real-person. Order collection system is shockingly poor and the staff were completely miserable. Not somewhere I would recommend.

I have witnessed Staff being rude and judgemental towards teenagers sitting in McDonald’s for 30minutes or longer , even though the youth are buying drinks and food and being quiet they decide to pick on and kick them out for no logical reason.

Slow service and hardly warm burgers! I don’t know what the problem was, drive in and restaurant were not busy. Staff were just standing around. Usually ok here, maybe ppl were not awake, it was New Years Day.

After an evening out, the children wanted McDonalds. The Drive Thru was really slow, though only one car ahead. Otherwise, standard McDonalds fayre, with which the children were pleased. Us too - kept them quiet.

Love this branch of mcDonalds they have really good customer service. I recently visited with my daughter during a fundraising day. I felt bad as i only had my card on me for payment, & my daughter wanted her face painted & i fancied some of tge homebaking that was beautifully presented. I explained my problem to the lobby assistant & asked if i could pay at the till, but she kindly informed me to hand it in on my next visit which i did, so i just want to thank the staff for allowing mema to do that & making my daughters experience & mine a pleasant one!!

We as a family of four went for an afternoon outing and expected the usual McDonald standard. What we saw was quite truly unbelievable. After placing our order we witnessed a young male worker walking up and down the restaurant with one of his hands down the front of his trousers scratching the groin or genitals! This happened over and again sometimes accompanied by colleagues. My wife gave a nervous laugh and declared he must have pubic lice!! If i had not seen it i would not have believed it -- we just did not know who to complain to. As he appeared not to serve or handle food we decided to wait for our order which seemed to take quite awhile. Even that was not what we ordered despite the place being not too busy. By this time we saw the same guy going about totally oblivious of his hand action. The whole set up looked well below the McDonald standard with the furnishing dated and the front door open despite it being cold outside. We were truly shocked and hope the management will truly take stock of this and have CCTV monitoring of their staff.

nice place to stop. very hi-tech McDonald's had a touch screen self service kiosk. a bit confusing especially since been on the road a while. the till service was one till and the que was long. service was quick and food was brought to the table. kids liked the tablet screens they could play games on but meant it took longer to get them to eat and get back on the road. nice stopping point on way to haggerson castle

Hate the new interactive ordering and hanging around waiting for your food getting in everybody's way when it is busy. Can't claim your free loyalty coffees through machine so have to queue up again for that and when you spend £20 having to pay 5p for a recyclable paper bag is taking the p really. We should have taken the food out to the car on the tray

This is a good McDonald's. We have been to far worse! The place is clean and bright, friendly staff, clean loos - and right on the A1 as you sweep round from Edinburgh. There is an activity bench for kids. The food is fine and we enjoyed our visit.

On arivall to the drive thru I was greeted with 'what can I get for ya!' Not the usual welcome to Mcdonalds speech we are ALL accustomed to!! Then after the order and payment was abruptly taken I waited a good 7 minutes for my 'food' to be slung out of the window at my car, to discover my double sausage and egg Mcmuffin was just 1 egg in a muffin with NO sausages COLD and the hash browns in bits and also COLD!!! The coffee was ok but was not offered sugar and not given a receipt!!! Come on Mcdonalds how hard can it be for a well established chain to get breakfast so WRONG!! Will not be using this place EVER again! Severe staff training required here.

Well, what can I really say about using the drive through to order a couple of Sundaes.Queue looked massive but the drive through was super efficient, order at one point, pay at another and food was ready. Very efficient. Seems a very popular joint as every time we drove past the car park was rammed.

On a visit to Dunbar we stopped for lunch. The restaurant was quiet, we ordered our food at the automated kiosk and took our seats. Our food arrived after a reasonable wait, our order was incorrect and the sauces requested were missing. I checked my receipt and indeed the order was incorrect. On asking our table server to correct this - he grumped and obviously thought I was wrong and grudgingly went off to rectify the problem. Before his return it became apparent that some of our food was not hot verging on being cold. Not ideal for a burger, fries and chicken strips! I once again informed our server as he returned with our missing items. And one again he made it very oblivious that we were being troublesome by asking for what we had paid for. I asked a passing member of staff if a manager was available, he politely and effectively along with a colleague from their Berwick upon tweed store said the would send the manager over shortly. After a few minutes a young lady in a managers uniform appeared. Then with a hands in her pockets and an abrasive attitude asked if we had a problem. I explained our issues and told her if our disappointment. She was slightly apologetic and grudging asked if there was any thing she could to to remedy the situation. I only suggested that she could remedy these staff problems for the future. I should have asked for a full refund, as the overall service and food was that poor. We ate our food and had our drinks as I didn't want to disappoint the children with me. The £19.95 spent was not value for money or a pleasant experience today in Dunbar MacDonald's. Very poor staff attitude by some and dismal management by others. The only positive I have about my visit was that the seating zones and toilets were spotlessly clean and the visiting staff that I came across were very professional.

We visited for some food on our way down the A1, but it was not a good experience. The staff left us standing for almost 10 minutes, even although we were the only people in.
