McDonald's in East Staffordshire

Good maccys not different to any others

Special thanks to business manager Abbas rashid and his wife Katie jane mangnail

A good McDonald's the drive thru can get very busy at times and it can be hard to get in and out of the car park when busy. The food has always been good and the staff are always friendly and helpful. It's always clean and the condiments are always full. Sometimes the sun can be very strong if facing the windows and can be hard to find seating at peak times.

I recently attended this McDonald’s via the drive through at around 2am. My good friend Gareth Barton was in the car with me and insisted on listening to Elton John hit “Tiny Dancer” at full volume and on repeat. Despite this the staff were able to successfully hear me place my order, prepare it and then gave it to me in a timely manner. Thanks to their professionalism we were able to “count the headlights on the highway” on the way home while Gareth tucked into his 20 piece chicken McNugget meal.

Literally couldn't park. If it's a busy time of day, I would avoid.

Missing egg in my McMuffin - very pissed off

As two people who rarely go to Maccy D’s, we decided to go through the drive through for a breakfast muffin. We ordered 2 muffins and an orange juice. It wasn’t until we pulled alongside the cashier that I queried the nearly £10 price when I’d seen a meal deal advertised for £2.99 each. Luckily the cashier changed our order and added an extra orange juice and we saved nearly £4! So why didn’t the person taking our order tell us this??

There is room for improvement in the staff

Good mcdonalds handy for cricket and football

Damn slow service through the drive- thru

Quick service in the restaurant - carpark a nightmare

Long wait but good and hot food

Polite and friendly staff and really clean premises, there is also a drive though here. My only thing is the car park isn’t very big

I love this place All staffs is friendly

Very clean! Bathrooms have been kept up well and so has the rest of the building. A lady was cleaning everything the entire time we were there. I’d be happy to come again with my family to this location.

Always a busy 1! Food is fast, hot and fresh, just as it should be.

Small carpark but generally always one or two spaces free. Nice spot for stretch and a snack. It also has a drive through.

The friendliest McDonald's we have ever been to by miles!! Never done a review of a McDonald's before but felt we had to after being greeted and served by two very happy, charismatic gentleman just now. My husband said we had to do a review. We were actually just travelling through and don't live locally, which is a shame. Thank you very much 😊 - food was also lovely

It's good, but it's not quite Carling.

Normally a very good McDonald's. Friendly staff .

As my older wife is currently bed bound through bunions I had to carry out this journey solo and the highway took through Uttoxeter . The day was somewhat dank and grey and I thought a small MacD would add some sunshine ☀️ Contrary to previous reviews, a staff member emptying a bin did smile so there is hope that this pattern has now been addressed. Trying to balance the need for fast sustenance with bodily health , I sought a small burger . By description it should contain lettuce ,but as god is my witness ,(and photo evidence asserts) the vital veg was absent without leaves(AWOL ) if you will ! It is also very sad to see parents eating while the children are on iPads with headphones on. It is vital for development of youngsters that they engage with their families. This is not McDonald’s fault but a larger societal issue. me

Good branch with lovely staff! The kids loved their meal that was good. Great atmosphere and all the tablets were working which is always a plus 😁

This Place is full of idiots, The food is always cold or wrong in some way or other.

Poor food, rude staff 1 hour wait for food that half of the order was missing

Only go for the chicken nuggets for the grandkids, decor bland, staff pleasant.

Yet again don't get a large hot drink all they do is add just hot water

Unfortunately out of stock when we ordered off the app, but when we went inside. They had it all. Staff where nice, and I don't know how, but the chocolate milkshake always taste like banana.

Delivered to complete wrong address!!! Lost £15 of a 14yr olds money as a treat for parent evening.. can't even get the complaint through or money back!!

Great mid journey place to stop for breakfast

Great if you are travelling on the A50. Can be a little busy and messy ... but at the end of the day .. it's a McDonald's... all the usual features... still the same... and they charge mfor cartons of urry sauce 🤨

Staff seem oblivious to customer service offering little if any welcome Tea was cold and staff observed making food without gloves and affectively throwing food on delivery tray

Ticked all the boxes you would hope for at a McDonalds. Clean, quick service and food was delivered hot and in a timely manner. Order correct first time.

Classic McDonald's experience and food in a convenient location. Parking is crowded on a Saturday morning.

Toilets were closed, no indoor tables, sat outside in the cold, needing a wee. Chips weren't great but the fillet o fish saved the whole experience.

If you are looking for good food, drive on by. If you want to add to the sum of human obesity, there is plenty on the menu to choose from.

Pretty much guaranteed to get your order wrong. Ask for sauces on the drive through. Expect none, true story.

The food is lovely but the staff were miserable. Plonked the food down and ran away. Also the only McDonalds I know to charge for sauce when I’ve bought a whole meal.

I stopped off around 9 in the evening, but despite being 24hrs, the inside seating was closed. I was told by the staff that I could sit outside, which would have been nice, if it wasn't January, and -3°C.

Went to the drive through with the nephew

Awful, double burger had one gurkin and 3 tiny bits of onion, it looked like they'd been playing keep ups with it across the kitchen ⚽️ absolutely battered! Chicken burger fillet had been butterflied several times and rolled out and looked like an inner sole from an old leather shoe from a charity shop. Chips were anaemic no flavour. Worst McDonald's I've ever had.

Always pleasant service and staff smile when serving you. Food is often luke warm or cooled and occasionally assembled with a "no shits given" attitude as seen by my bigmac burger bun without a burger, salad or sauce just bread on bread. Awesome

Orders go wrong and food not as good. Also more expensive

Always check your bags before you leave as they always forget something

Small McD restaurant on the busy A50. Convenient stop for food, fuel and toilets in both fuel station and McDs. The car park is very small for the amount of users. Food is standard, service is standard and small restaurant makes it feel very busy. Convenience is the word for thus place.

Quick service, pleasant staff and freshly cooked food

Service incredibly slow, team didn't seem bothered at all, my burger was sat under a hot lamp for almost ten minutes, chips had not a lick of salt. Whilst I was waiting an eternity for my food I stood a few metres from the counter and enjoyed listening to the team shouting and swearing. Probably won't be coming back but thanks for the cold food!

Got here 04:52 and was told we are not cooking at the moment because we change our @ 5 to breakfast not good customer service 😒

Drive through very busy so parked up and went in. Ordered from screen. Easy to do. Didn't have to wait long despite clearly also serving the drive through. Hot food and correct sauces/dips as ordered.

Very clean and tidy store. Staff great. Food wasn't too hot though.

Had some wrap and fries. To be frank, the fries were not to McDonald's quality. Taste and texture were below average. Cheesy bites were just warm with rancid oil flavour. Wrap was perfect. Management needs to look into that. Prompt Supervision is very important for the good running of business.

The restaurant was nice and quite clean, service was a bit slow, more concerned with online orders, got our order a bit wrong, but corrected it when asked

Shame they not accepting £50 notes !!! Legal tender

Floor was slippery in the toilets, like they used grease instead of cleaner, the music was loud and horrid, but david was nice

Excellent service Great manager

If they took more care and got more right first time, then service would have been so much quicker. Car park is a bit crazy. Restaurant was clean and counter staff friendly.

Busy but quick service. Food was hot and the seating area was clean.

You can't order inside through the night anymore which is inconvenient if you have a big vehicle and your on nights.we tried the £5 meal saver and the food was rubbish had no taste to it at all the best thing was the fries were hot for once but would not go again and would not order that particular meal deal very disappointed ☹️😞

And no parking here either. Uttoxeter is really bad for services.

Lovely hot chocolate served by helpful staff. Was clean and tidy. Staff who take a pride in their store. I chose a table with the usb connector and air charger. Again a really nice option

Pretty tasty and overall tasted super nice before heading to alton towers

This McDonald’s is really good, I’ve been several times now and I’ve seen Crew Trainer Chloe quite a lot! Every single time she is very polite and smiley.

Cold food cold restaurant ,and very miserable staff

If I could leave a 1 star I absolutely would. I ordered a McRib and there were next to NO onions and No sauce. Don’t even get me started on SAUCE! Every McDonalds that I have been to I have NEVER had to pay for sauce (except the 50p pots) the fact a restaurant wants you to eat food DRY is beyond me. To follow this up the lad on the window was about as useful as a chocolate fire guard with an attitude and service about as sh*t as the available parking. To top this all off we ordered a triple cheeseburger WHICH WAS LABELLED and still only given a double. Money grabbing as well as poor attitude from staff….should go back into training. :)

No monopoly stickers with fries, despite the fact that the promotion was still in operation. Scandalous. Its a scam.

Told that ketchup is 10p, at the collection window once I’ve paid in drive through.

Service was really quick and the food was hot

Like every McDonald's struggle with ques food is ok service was ok have to wait for a double cheese burger

It's a good McDonald's but it's a McDonald's

Standard McDonald's, quick and efficient service. Busy and loud because of low ceilings when crowded.

Stopped going here as they never got my drive thru order right. Begrudgingly dropped in here again, and surprise surprise, the fries were missed out, so nothing has changed since my last visit a year ago. Carpark is always too busy to find a spot and walk in and complain. Suggest you avoid, or double check all the bags before you drive off (which is difficult for big orders)

Mcdonalds was great Var Park so small and multiple exits with cars unable to get in and out adjacent to petrol station- very dangerous layout

Probably one of the worst places I have visited, just off "McDonald's Roundabout" with a horrible layout to enter and exit the car park, Staff at the drive thru struggled to take a basic order, and upon reaching the final booth for the food they attempted to pass us drinks which were not on our order, then was informed that even though we had ordered meals we had to pay 10p per sauce, at no point is this advertised, and upon us asking to purchase the sauces staff were not happy at this due to them not having a till at the booth even though we paid cash. Food was warm, Car park is tiny for the amount of visitors they get along this main route. Would not visit again, if you are desperate for food I suggest the garage next door.

You know the story, average food not cheap but convenient when you on the move, car parking here is an absolute nightmare

We only received one of two burgers paid for, very frustrating as we didn't see this until back on the A50.

Great food, fast service, immaculate restaurant on all counts xx

No menu on drive through. OK I'm not 18 & don't eat from there on an evening usually like the yoof but a restaurant with NO MENU.

We got a drive through for breakfast on our way home from Alton Towers

Absolutely terrible,worst McDonald's ever,so bad no even worth one star ,the worst in all.

Decent Mcdonald’s great stop off after Alton Towers waited a surprisingly short time considering it was after alton towers closes

Dangerous carpark , staff are brilliant, thankyou. Food was as always very tasty with a good selection.

The only place aside from Sandbach Services on the M6 that still has Grimace Milkshakes

A well located McDonald’s, but parking could be alot better as spaces are very limited considering its location. Food and service is what is expected so 4stars.

10 of the King's finest pennies for sauce!? Was it an April fool in August? Was it the latest prank from Ant & Dec? Or was it the final sign the world has gone truly mad?? As if it couldn't get any better ... in the modern society we live in, it was cash only. (Obviously we didn't have a round coin on us) The result, 2 bemused parents, 3 sad children, and 1 Google Review to help the nation. McDonalds Uttoxeter shame on you! But congratulations for a world first. 🏆

Really lovely service from David who chatted to me and my kids. Food and everything else as you’d expect. The car park is small and could do with an extension.

Gosh massive queue food cold on drive through. Asked for sauce when collecting food no was the answer 10p per sachet no cash on us as paid by card . Weren’t interested the dryest coldest meal ever on £22 for 3 people . No where to park no loos used and not allowed sauces !!! Awful 😞

I rang through to McDonald's uttoxeter just to ask for the order to be correct considering that many orders in the past have been delivered incorrect , the bloke I was speaking to was awful ,his attitude was cocky and kept interrupting me when I was speaking, arguing and just having attitude in general. I asked to speak to the manager , he replied he was the manager so I told him straight maybe you should think about how you speak to your customers , argued with attitude with me for at least 20 mins. In the end i pit the phone down on him after telling him his attitude was disgusting

Bought a large coffee at the drive through this morning to discover there was wasn't any coffee in it (milky water), took it back to the drive through to exchange. Girl at counter took the coffee from me, stood around the corner and came back two minutes later to pass me off the same coffeeless coffee. They sorted it out at the next hatch fortunately although the new coffee was scorched and bitter. Some people don't deserve a job, where do they find these employees or was set up by a hidden camera show?

I am absolutely disgusted with this Macdonald’s. We stopped here to get my three young boys a treat on our way to morecambe, a 3 hour trip from home. Ordered a large meal and 9 chicken selects. I asked for normal bbq sauce with the selects. My son then asks for some garlic Mayo as we waited. So I asked at the window, like you would do in any Macdonald’s drive through across the country and was told that sauces don’t come with a meal. I’m 43, and I have never in my life been told that you don’t get sauce with a meal! So I asked to swap a bbq for a Mayo, baring in mind you get three sauces with the selects, and she said that would be 50p?! The manager came over and said because of the price difference it would be 50p charge. BUT THEY COME WITH THE FOOD!!!! So I gave over my card to pay and she said I’d have to go in and pay. I have twin 6 us olds and a 7yr old in the car, I can’t go in. To which she replied “well I can’t bring a till over here can I?!” I am utterly disgusted in the computer says no attitude, even though she is absolutely in the wrong and I shouldn’t have been charged for the swap I was happy to pay. I have never known such an unhelpful and rude attitude at Macdonald’s. Hugely disappointed. Avoid like the plague!

Asked for fresh food to be cooked didn’t so had a warm burger not hot

Was a great little place to eat.

Staff were brilliant and friendly.

So good I was starving and this filled me up

My son wanted a McDonald’s breakfast as part of a birthday treat. Ordered a sausage and egg McMuffin meal. They forgot the egg and cheese !!! Then there was pancakes and syrup on our order and all the pancakes came without any syrup at all. This happens so often the missing items from this restaurant I honestly don’t know why I give them another chance. So disappointed !!!

Stopped for some drinks on our long journey along the A50. The delivery of cocoa was delayed, so no kind of chocolate drinks were available. The coffee was OK and the kids enjoyed the slushy thing. It's in Uttoxeter apparently (🤷‍♂️), squeezed on to the edge of a giant roundabout along with an Esso garage. It has the kind of tiny carpark that causes a pannick attack. The entrance and exit are multi lane and totally illogical, plus there's a drive through lane squeezed in as well. It can only be reached by car from the horrible roundabout, so inside were just weary travellers like us, desperate for something refreshing. I thought our order had been stolen by an uber-just-eat person, she charged to the counter, scooped up a dozen items, just as our number turned from 'preparing' to 'ready' and then disappeared from the screen. Turns out it wasn't stolen, ready or being prepared. It was round the corner still?? The gents toilet was a sewerage disaster, both urinals were broken and taped off like a crime scene, one toilet bowl was blocked and the whole place stank of drains. But they weren't going to let that shut them down. So I tried not to touch any surfaces, opened the door with my little finger and left to consume my order. 🤢. Back in the car park, three of the largest vans in Britain had blocked any vehicles movements from our side. Luckily all the arriving traffic was confused by the arrows and heading for the exit, so we left via the entrance before it got unpleasant.

Very slow drive through. Food qualiity usual average standard for McD.

Not much to say got served well nice breakfast

All burgers came out like it put together with a blindfold. Barely any sauce in it, dry as a nuns. Server came past and asked how everything is, told him, and he said that's how it comes. Offered us more sauce at 10p a go, because the franchisee wasn't happy about amount of sauce they were using. Tables were gross, had to cover them with napkins, wouldn't go back unfortunately

Busy place but not too long a wait. Food was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. 100% recommended

Car park too small. Always seems a bit grubby.

They gave me a wrong order. Good job we're eating inside
