McDonalds in Sefton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is without doubt the worst McDonald’s I’ve ever been to. Sat in the drive thru at the order point with no one taking my order, then reversed after waiting 4 minutes and went in the other queue for the other order point. No apologies, just a ‘what can I get you?’ Waited then FIFTEEN minutes for 1 breakfast meal when it wasn’t even busy. Finally, the food arrived at the end of an extended arm, attached to an expressionless young guy who looked like he hated the world. Staff are lifeless and slow. It reminded me of the ending of Shaun of the Dead when they’ve got zombies as trolley workers. The whole place is pretty terrible in and a damning reflection on the manager in summary

Disappointed and disgusted never as I have tried will it get any better just full of kids and bad management disgraceful

I know these establishments are a challenge to keep clean but this one was particularly untidy and very dirty. Piles of food left near the bins near the eating areas while we were there, at least 40 minutes. Also food was also not up to the usual standard as chips were half cooked and the milkshake had a peculiar taste to it. Won’t be coming here again.

Not many staff available at the front serving desk and I didn't see anyone for a while whilst my relative waited for the order. Clean looking and spacious venue. However, and this is just my personal opinion. I feel that a Mc Donald's outlet should be uniform in its interior presentation and that the rather overwhelming OTT flag display is maybe not something that all customers may or may not appreciate.

This place needs to close down, I have tried a number of times at this place, food cold and a number of items missing, disgusting food, it’s run by rude kids, the manager has to be the worst in the country, how can they keep getting away with this bloody disgusting avoid worse franchise chain I have been to.

Don't waste your time!! Day 2 of the new menu and they have run out of biscoff frappe' s. Stuck in a que for 30 mins for no reason, no way of getting out the drive in que, no signs to say they have run out, 3rd time I've been here, 2x no milkshake, now no frappe's! What a waste of money on advertising, if they can't pre order enough items for the second day of release I'm left wondering how the manager is coping with the rigorous hygiene rota. Very very poor!

Terrible, waited 40 mins at midnight for 2 burgers behind 2 cars. Food was cold and stale, Uber driver left because they took too long, staff aggressively shouting and swearing in front of customers. Staff are rude and didn’t apologise for the wait. Must be the worst McDonald’s in uk.

This is a terrible McDonald’s. I visited on the 3rd April. I have been several times to this McDonalds and it has always been beyond poor. They did not disappoint this time either 😩. I ordered 6 meals and a few extra sides for a birthday treat for the kids. I ordered via the app and collected, it was a 12 minute drive, waited 14 minutes for the food and drove back 12 minutes. Got home and yet again there are none of the sauces that were ordered, even better 2 of the meals are missing!!! 2 out of 6!!! How is that even possible ! £40.40 and 1/3 is missing!!!! 12 minute drive back, spoke to a shift manager, he apologised and was a nice lad. He apologised for the “kids” that were working there and the fact “they just don’t care!” He gave me the two missing meals and told me to complain to the McApp people as he couldn’t sort it out as I ordered on the app. 12 minute drive back, my food is cold, my milkshake is the wrong flavour and now warm. Complained to the McApp people who refunded £14, yet to see that. The restaurant is a total mess. Nobody has a clue what they are doing. Nobody cares. I will never never never visit this McDonald’s again. I hope you’re happy you ruined my child’s birthday treat. Shocking

Went through the drive drive through. The staff were rude, No please thankyou nothing didn't even tell us where to pay or pick the food up, when they handed us the food didn't hand us any chips and just left us sat there until my partner knocked on the window poor poor customer services and the burgers looked like they had been thrown about before handing it to us

Parked up, went in, ordered, took ages for food. Sat down. Ate. Ordered two more coffees and wrote an email. Went out to my car and drove home. 2 days later get a £50 parking fine. They can go xxxx themselves

This is the worst McDonald's I have ever encountered I thought the Southport ones were bad but this is next level bad.. tried a few times to give them another chance but won't bother again. The food tastes dodgy, always mess up the easiest of orders. They left our food was 10 mins last time and I said to my partner that is our food before eventually they called it! I ordered a burger with extra pickles and they gave me a plain burger instead on one of my encounters. The staff don't look at you and throw the food at you, in all honestly they look flustered and it looks carnage in the kitchen. I think it should go back to MJ's or something else as it's a disaster.

i could not believe what I experienced the management and stuff are terrible speak to you awful and all in general just disgusting such a badly ran store the managers don't even know what there doing half of the time THERE IS NEVER ANY ICE so half of my drink is empty no body comes and helps you when you ask for some help and when they do they are so rude there was a manager in shift called Oliva she was horrible shouting at all of her staff and just treating them terrible I don't know how some of the managers got a job the way they speak to there staff it is disgusting it is border line bullying

Waited too long for order to be taken in first place. In-store customers ignored, staff more bothered about drive throughs . Breakfast order totally incorrect (obviously added sausage to bacon mcmuffin was too complicated) given 2 coffees when 1 coffee and 1 tea was ordered. No sugar or other condiments in service area had to ask for sugar which was given to us but no stirrer ( do we really have to ask for a stirrer? ) No hash browns with breakfast meal deal. Really how can staff get a simple breakfast order for 2 people so wrong. Only been to this branch about 4 times in last couple of years and everytime there is a problem, don't think we will bother in future. Think this branch deserves medal for worst Macdonald's staff in u.k. Well done.

Awful service, ordered two burgers and we got told to wait in car park for them to be made ended up waiting 15 mins.

The worst McDonalds! Every time we receive an order whether going through the drive thru or getting food delivered, the order is either wrong or there are items missing without fail. This week we ordered four meals and only two meals were delivered. We were told by McDonalds that they would not replace the two missing meals so we asked for a full refund. They refused to give a refund also. We contacted Uber eats and McDonalds complaints team to be told by both that they will not give a refund. We spent £35 on the order and didn’t have any of the food or a refund- nothing short of theft! The staff have a terrible attitude and make it clear that they couldn’t care less. I would advise all to avoid this McDonalds!

This is without doubt the worst mcdo ald I have ever visited. I have come regularly as it is the closest to my house. I thought it would improve after opening but has gone much worse. I wouldn't go in toilets and tables always a mess. The best advice I could give is don't eat in and if you are at drive through expect a long wait, check your order at the window including what burgers are in boxes as if you order for instance a double then they will give you a box with a single in. Don't leave the drive through window until you have thoroughly checked your order as they seem incapable of getting anything right. I've said it before but I will never return to this joke of a restaurant even if it is a mile from my house.

Pulled up at drive thru and completely ignored. Other lane served without acknowledging I was there. Ended up driving to the window to order. Server was not professional. Told me that they just serve random lanes and don’t worry about who’s been waiting - not good when you’re there before 3 other people. Went to collect to order to be told to move down to next window. Then got told again to park up. I refused as I knew the order would be wrong as it usually is at this McDonald’s. Order came and all sauces missing. Waited for another 5 minutes for someone to come back and hand me sauces. I was greeted with, ‘what are you waiting for?’ Instead of a much more professional ‘is there anything else I can help you with?’ Arrived home to a half a portion of chips, clearly because I had refused to park up and wait. All food was cold

Hands down the worst McDonald’s restaurant I have ever ordered from! Multiple times now we’ve ordered on the Mcdelivery app from here and food has either not arrived, missing items or cold stale food and when speaking to the staff there is nothing they can do, absolute joke! I’ve spoken to both managers on shift and complaints team at Uber eats all ending in the same result no refund or no food to replace missing items. Sick of the terrible service won’t be returning and advise everyone to steer clear

The team went above and beyond to making my daughter's 5th birthday a day to remember and there support alleviated the stress which comes with parties.the staffs support ensured the party went as smooth as possible and much an enjoyable one of that to. I am every so thankful to Vicky who made this event authorised and made into a private event and ensured our orders came together and brought to us which we all enjoyed and we all demonised. A massive thank you to Rosy who was always present looking after us and entertained the children with facepaints and animal Bloons the children were so thrilled.overall massive thank you to MacDonalds Formby Merseyside for making this all possible and affordable with this time of cost of living crisis I am so so thankful as a single mum and a student I was worried how to make my daughter 5th birthday a day to remember and it was a mission impossible made possible thank you!!!! Even my daughter's little friends want there party the same as my daughter's.i am so humbled it has went well thank you again!!!:)

This is the worst McDonald’s . Their food is inferior and their ice cream is full of air. It’s half the size of other McDonald’s

All food was cold and tasteless. After ordering never got what we asked for. Feel the staff aren’t listening. Would never used this place again.

This is my local MacDonalds and we’ve just received another wrong delivery. Not once have we got what we ordered from here when getting food delivered. When eating in store there is never anyone on the front desks, the drinks are always warm and the chips are always cold. We’d rather drive further afield these days rather than go here.

The service was awful and then got home to realise the food was cold! We won't be going there again.

Cold food So I ordered a lunch for myself and the family from here, the food was stone cold when it arrived and the two donuts were ROCK hard, which indicates STALE food. This type of service needs to be addressed as the quality and product name of McDonald’s is being let down. It’s not the first time I’ve had poor service from here, my thought was new year, new start try them again. What a mistake to make. This view is my own and nobody has asked me to write this.

I was 2 minutes over the 90 minute limit and have received a £50 Fine!! This after waiting 20 minutes for cold food.

I have now stopped using this mcdonalds. Over the last few times we have gone, they are yet to get an order right, missing chips, missing burgers, and wrong drinks they always give out diet coke when normal is ordered. Considering this is more expensive...

I must say by a massive landslide this is the worst McDonald’s I have ever had and again I had to go back because items was missing and 2 of the burgers I wouldn’t feed to my dog, it was replaced but not a care...

I’ve visited McDonalds restaurants in probably 20 countries and this is hands down the worst I’ve ever encountered across multiple visits!

The drive thru is always slow, in store slow staff seem to be doing nothing? Deliveries always wrong constantly missing items no matter where you go. Sauces always missing, even missed a whole BigMac off an order. Don’t think i’ve ever had a correct order...

Waited 20 mins for a small coke. Staff ignored me and all the others waiting. Dirty & unorganised - wouldn’t go here again. Advise others not to go- awful

Worst McDonald’s experience yet, was ignored at the drive through another car come though after me on another lane was served and I was still ignore, I had to blow my horn! Then the cold drinks machine is out of order, no surprise! Even though...

Ordered at machine went to the till to pay then I must have become invisible had to ask twice if I could actually pay for the food I had ordered. Staff didn't seem to care appeared surly and not interested. A constant issue in this...

Burger arrived with what I can only describe as baking paper inside. Absolutely disgusting After having to wait 45 mins for our food. Staff were non the wiser that our order was on the screen. Still had food missing too.

I think they only like people to use an app? human to human seems to be alien to them, stand at the counter to order & they walk past like you don't exist. Customer waiting for their food said to me 'good luck trying to...

Orderd 2 meals Mc crispy burger meal and quater pounder meal only to find we had been charged for the items separately not as meals and the worst part, the mc crispy burger was just bread!! I asked for plain no salad no sauce and...

I am disabled & it takes me a while to get my wheelchair out of the car & longer to put it back I didnt know there was a parking time limit so went over limit by 7 minutes got a fine for £170 not...

Place looks amazing, always decorated to a theme! It’s amazing! Loving the Halloween decorations atm! Such a great place, staff are amazing as well

Its a shame there isnt a ZERO score. Worst McDonald's we've ever been to. If you use the drive through be prepared to wait and make sure you check your order before you drive off because inevitably it will be wrong, incomplete or wont have...

30 mins wait. Order wrong. This is the same every time I go here. It is the worst McDonalds in the world. They usually take 20 minutes to get me a black coffee (!) in the mornings. I was under the impression they had strict...

Wow how Ronald would be disappointed with these clowns. Just been with my 2 kids food was standard no complaints other than received 4 nuggets instead of 6 with a meal ???? Problem was when I went to order from the till as waited for...

Waited for ages to pay with cash stood in the queue for ages no one seemed concerned about serving quickly and effectively. Payed eventually no receipts yet again how am I supposed to reconcile my clients expenses without a receipt. Family on the table next...

This has to be one of the worst McDonalds I have ever been to. Yet again they get the order wrong. I have visited here several times when visiting my parents to feed the kids. I would say I have been 6 times since they...

The worst experience in McDonald’s ever! You don’t get served, the staff walk past you like your invisible. Horrendous service when you do get it.

Why the hell every time i order and go to the counter to pay do I become invisible. Just standing there waving my ticket with hoards of spotty teenage staff staring at me. Ffs I want to pay you know with that stuff called money...

Appalling! Floor sticky Toilet unclean Kitchen floor had their rubbish on it Long wait for food (20 mins on a quiet night) Order wrong twice Staff overheard calling a customer names after she complained Food clap cold when it arrived Chips soggy Asked for a...

If there’s one thing in life you can’t miss out on, its a visit to Formby McDonald’s. This place will make you wonder how humans got to the top of the food chain. From cold food to your order being wrong, even bad mannered staff,...

The drive through was slow and took a while to get our order made. There was however only one person working. WHAT REALLY GROUND MY GEARS was that my mate kept trying to open the bloody door because he was too warm. However he was...

Cold food, food missed from order, inappropriate bad language from a staff member. Unable to contact them by telephone.

Last time I will go here. Would give 0 points really. Order wrong every single time. Extremely poor customer service. Went last night for 3 drinks and a plain hamburger. Told to drive up to next window. Waited 7 minutes before a zombie appeared, gave...

Such a bland uninteresting place. Took our nephew mid week for a treat. Hadn’t been to the Formby one before. On entering everything computerised which was fine but all staff were behind blinds so no face to face contact at all until the order was...

We haven’t been for a while! Reason being they mess our order up every time and we always have missing items! Today! 2 lots of fried and 2 apple pies! How can this McDonalds still be do dreadful and still make such horrendous mistakes! Joke!!

F@*king fed up of this gaff. It is 2 mins from my house so with 3 kids quite convenient. Service is utter sh*te . I have got a black coffee at 6am and it still took 15 mins!! Not a single meal I’ve ever got...

Hard to know what quite what to say here as it's Fawlty Towers serving bad take away with The Golden Arches logos. EVERY TIME we go its COLD, WRONG or BOTH COLD AND WRONG. Basil would be proud!

I highly recommend going to Formby just to see how easily they can screw up the simplest of orders. Impressive.

Open 24hrs a day, but only if you are in a car. We live 5 minutes away, and could not get served by walkinh to the drive through, as the shop was closed. If you drive, adding pollution to the environment they will serve you....

Says on sign open 24 hours, walked up to find door to restaurant locked just after 12am and when tried to place order after waiting at drive through told couldn’t be served as not in a car which seemed ridiculous, clearly health and safety gone...

Visited with disabled client half the place shut off told he cant sit where he normally does. Do you understand Asperger's ? . We sat where we wanted. Paid and asked for a ten pound note in my change- apparently multi national maccies doesn't posess...

Without exaggeration this McDonalds is the worst I have ever been to in the World. Every time you visit either in the Drive Thru or via Uber the Order is ALWAYS incorrect. The latest example was a Take away on Friday 5th November at 4pm...

We picked up 3 meals . All disgusting. Stone cold. Stale. the so called burgers were so thin we could hardly taste them. I got one tiny bit of gherkin on my hamburger. Will never go to McDonalds again.

Today I waited for nearly 15 minutes for my order after being asked to park up as their standard so-called "off the shelf" burgers weren't ready! Not even an apology for the lengthy wait! It was only when I got home did I realise they...

I picked up a coffee here and waited nearly 20 minutes. Then I heard customer calling the restaurant the Steve Austin store because everything served here is stone cold. Sure enough, my coffee was not very hot.

Ordered food for delivery from McDonald’s Formby. They use Uber eats. Food did not arrive. Uber eats say they waited 10 minutes outside our house but couldn’t get an answer which is a complete lie. Tried to contact the driver but it goes to a...

The neon road sign suggests a 24 restaurant. A photocopy on the drive through ordering speaker tells you 6am until 11pm, although I have been turned away at 10pm. Tonight there were several cars in the drive through with a fully lit restaurant at 11.15pm...

Excellent service this morning (7th September 2021) at about 9.00 am from ordering to paying and collection at the drive through - I know, but I hate "thru", horrible misspelling. Staff were bright, smiley, friendly and really enthusiastic. What a difference!! Keep it up.

Yet again I’ve waited for what seems like an age for a simple order of pancakes even though there was only one car in front of me in the drive thru. When I got home I find that there is no syrup. I can honestly...

Delightful visit with service user for coffee. Young girl fastidiously cleaning the underneath of the tables. Rest of the place clean and welcoming. Coffees swiftly ordered and delivered with a smile. Visited at 10:30 am so missed the “Formby Youth” that sometimes make this place...

Went to this McDonald's tonight. I'm a regular here but will not go again in the evening. The place was full of noisy, foul mouthed youths. One kicking a football and another swinging a golf club. I mentioned this to one of the assistants who...

We live local and have large family so are regular visitors. Everytime we have ordered its been wrong, the queues are the worst in all mcdonalds we have ever visited. It seems very mismanaged and probably under staffed for the size of the facility. When...

I don’t eat at McDonalds very often. But on the last 4 occasions, probably over the last 2 months. On every occasion at the Formby restaurant, they got the order wrong. Every time there is something missing. On the last occasions I complained to their...

Another visit and another missing burger. What did make it in the bag was stone cold. Always something missing and the queue is so long due to current circumstance you feel rushed to move on. Staff seem to be under too much pressure that quality...

Got home and was missing my burger ! Every time I’ve ordered from here there is something missing I have a thyroid issue and burgers are the only medicine for it. I shall be crying myself to sleep tonight ! 🥲

Do not bother going here.....Three items missing from order...Tried to ring to complain no answer...So just had undercooked chips instead👍

This is the WORST McDonald’s I have ever had EVER. Never come here even if you’re dying of starvation

Rude staff, no manners! The make the matter worst it was one of the managers that served me! Will never use this McDonald’s again. Staff with disgusting customer service

Such pleasant staff manning drive through orders ..the young lady on duty this morning (sat 12th ) who was efficient & so pleasant at 7.30am!! It’s clearly obvious all measures are put in place to make the environment safe for customers & the hard working...

Wouldn't give this McDonalds a single point Unbelievable rude and brain dead staff orders 5 ice creams and 2 coffees tonight waited 20 minutes at osring point 7 cars on the other point went through I eventually got to window collected 5 ice creams the...

Slow service, waited 5 minutes for food and then further 5 minutes for the wrong drinks. Food was cold when we ate it in the car park and the milkshakes were watery. Hate to think how cold it would be if ordered through uber eats

So the quarter pounder deluxe is supposedly a special. Have u seen the spec sheets for it? Every time I’ve had it it comes with just lettuce and cheese. Not the right sauces and no tomato. The owners of this franchise are a joke because...

Freezing cold food Rude staff half the order missing. Worst McDonalds I have ever visited Will definitely not return !!!! Complained to the Manager Briney who was unhelpful rude and had a really bad attitude. Disgusting!!!!!

Went there 25th July , first day it opened after lockdown for my daughters 4th birthday. Had phoned before every other day for approx 3weeks to see if we could reserve outdoor seating as it was only take out available. Nobody ever answered the phone....

Worst McDonald’s food and slowest McDonald’s service ever took me 20 mins to get round the drive through for a cheeseburger

I am surprised that so many of the reviews are so poor. I found the staff excellent although ordering took a very long time (didnt use app or machines) however the girl who did serve me and brought me the food was an absolute delight....

I’ve been to McDonald’s all over the US, Asia and of course the UK. But Formby McDonald’s must be the worst run restaurant I have ever used for the following reasons. 1. While using the drive through I have pulled up to the RHS machine,...

Wrong food then attitude when u take it back to complain by the 6 foot 5 lad sorry dnt know his name but was about 18 35 2 night tells me to give him the food back because I’m not having it for nothing then...

The slowest service ever! Never enough food ready to cater for demand. Always an excuse by blaming the terminals or head office. Micro managed so therefore ineffective.

Looked at website to see if you could now eat in. Was surprised by all the bad reviews on here. I have been many times to this McDonalds usually at lunchtime , including today, and never experienced anything like the reviews. Yes a couple of...

Everything in our order was properly sweaty and we both felt extremely sick a couple of hours after eating it. I know it’s only Maccies and it’s not expensive but they could do better.

Total shambles , two hundred cones marking out weird routes , red tapes , nasty signs a totally inhospitable place , tried to eat food in car park , told to move on and use Tesco or Homebase car park to eat on Couldn’t organise...

Just been to the drive through in Formby and for the first time actually got our meal without having to wait in the car park, however all is not good, on arriving home, I discover my grand Big Mac only has one burger. I can’t...

Waste of money Went here today for lunch, ordered meal in the drive though, pulled up to eat it and food wasn’t hot. Cold chips and Big Mac, was of money and NEVER again. You should be ashamed of the quality you provide.

Frequent user of this McDonald’s and finally I’m going to have a moan, drive through can be slow even if it looks quiet, food is usually ok but what’s going on with the coffee it’s totally inconsistent, too hot, weak, strong etc could it be...

I’d ignore these ridiculous reviews they don’t represent the majority just the Formby people that didn’t want a McDonald’s the place is always busy

I was at this restaurant on Saturday 11th January and was really surprised at the level of service -it was excellent. Reading some of the reviews on here perhaps I was lucky but the two ladies who were on floor duty could not have been...

I admit I am not McDonald’s most frequent customer, however on the six occasions I have visited the drive-thru of the Formby outlet I have been astonished by how poor it is. My most recent visit at 7.30pm this evening, resulted in a 20 minute...

1.13 pm 17/ 12 / 19 Joined the que ordered 1 double cheese burger as i needed food, as a diabetic i knew , the young man at the pay station was lovely i explained i needed food and that l was diabetic , i...

Appalling, I can’t understand why the service in this particular McDonalds is always so poor. Mistakes in simple orders often made & such slow service. They look at you & ignore as if they just can’t be bothered. Some proper training needed urgently..,

Terrible every time I have been! Asked to park every time I have used the drive thru! Food cold , coffee cold, order wrong, no apologies from staff! Dreadful . Such a shame

Shocking service, all ways messing items like every time, cold food just a joke the waiting time is ridicules bad management

Simple order of a double cheesburger and smarty mcflurry at 10.30pm. Quite a long wait considering it was such a quiet time of the night. Cheeseburger was cold and had too much ketchup - even for me! Mcflurry was ok, but now seems much smaller...
