Balloch McDonalds what is this definitely not a medium fries or a plain cheese burger 🫠 worst part is I had to drive right around to the window to ask for my order told be taken!!! as waited 5 mintues at the speaker but no one came they all were too busy talking to each other instead . The manager who was on shift was even there once I chapped the window for them to recognised me the manager snided me and walked off

Two days in a row went for breakfast roll meal and was presented with a wrap. Both days had to then wait for correct order. Then today 21/02/2024 heard the one brain cell wonder who took my order laughing about getting it wrong. Must be hard for him.

Ordered at 5.23, and given delivery estimate of 5.55-6.15. Partial order delivered at 6.33..... Part of my order (my own meal) never turned up, and when I phoned McDonalds I was told it was unavailable. It was certainly available, and allowed me to order it over an hour before delivery..... the food that DID arrive was stone cold. Waiting for a refund on the items that never arrived, and hopefully for the rest of the order that was stone cold

It's okay mcdonalds but service was quite slow and when receiving a cup of tea the tea bag was split In the cup. But I did get a replacement but it took about 10 Minutes for the replacement to be handed to me but the customer services assistant did apologise regarding delay. Everything was a okay.

Came in today at lunch before going kayaking with my family. We ordered all our food and 2 large colas & 2 medium colas. When the food was ready the server walked past me with my food so I said that’s Mine ? (So he didn’t have to carry it anymore) he said it’s table 20s ? So off he went to an empty number 20 table then finally after walking after him he gave us our food after doing a mini keep fit class chasing him round McDonald’s…. To my horror! I got given 4 cans of cola for my 4 colas I ordered taking in mind i ordered 2 medium & 2 large (different prices) yet get a can of cola ? Apparently something was up with the drinks machines? No signs up saying this to prewarn customers? No apologies? No refund? So if you buy a small cola you get a can? If you buy a large you get a can? Who on earth came up with this brain wave??? Totally unacceptable!! And to top it off I had two older members of staff on there “break” beside me and had to listen to them both nagging about staff and everything else …. I wont be back!

balloch mcdonalds is absolutely ridiculous for delivering the correct food, they forget everything and say ohhh... its just a mistake.. what ?? every single day is a mistake?? if you cant do the job then quit really they need to retrain staff to be able to read and actually do the job correctly!!! dumbarton mcdonalds is excellent now why is balloch failing at delivering correct items? who actually knows why perhaps its sheer laziness but why should i phone uber everyday for a refund?? they are starting to think im taking the pi$$ ... well im not i am fed up and ragin about it now its all the time "common mistake" yeh a little too common place needs shut down!!! scamming innocent people is not nice and should not be classed as a "common mistake" .. the manager is a fool and everyone in this place has no customer service its unreal!!

Utterly disgusting food. The kids meal was shocking. 2 overcooked sausages with 6 chips for £10 served on a side plate. Come on it’s a kids meal not a toddlers snack. Fish was overcooked so we returned. The young staff are lazy and don’t seem interested. Really is this a 5 star?? I don’t think so. It’s more a 3 star. Management should be asking why are the restaurants not busy at this time of year. Yesterday the young staff charged me a service charge for 2 drinks that I went to the bar for myself for!!! It’s absolutely ridiculous!! Come on get your act together….

Estábamos deseando una cena acogedora con buena comida, pero tristemente nos quedamos abrumados. Llegaron nuestros entrantes y en uno de los entrantes el cohete acompañante con un aceite de oliva y llovizna de trufa no era comestible debido a que las hojas parecían más hojas al vapor en una mancha verde. Aconsejamos a la anfitriona que habló con la dirección, volviendo a ofrecer postre gratis. No íbamos a estar comiendo postre esa noche y por lo que la oferta no sería adecuado para lo que la anfitriona preguntó lo que preferiríamos. Sugerimos que se elimine el iniciador afectado de la factura. Nuestras comidas del plato principal eran sabrosas, el bistec estaba perfectamente cocinado, pero algunas de las verduras en ambos platos principales eran un poco de cuero, sin embargo, se mejoraron al agregar un poco de salsa. Elegimos no hacer un comentario sobre esto y en su lugar nos centramos en disfrutar de nuestra noche juntos. Al recibir el proyecto de ley nos decepcionó que no se hubiera hecho ninguna deducción. Por lo menos una bebida podría haberse retirado como muestra de disculpa si la dirección decidiera que no querían descontar el entrante problemático. El personal era amable y el restaurante encantador. Una pena.
