McDonald's - Arndale Food Court in Manchester

Pretty chaotic and noisy. Surprised the selection of food was so poor. If you're starving, it's a go, however if you're up for something more relaxed and with slightly better food, I suggest the restaurants alongside Vapiano, just a few minutes walking distance away from Arndale food court.

Great variety of food, I had a very reasonably priced pizza and the rest of my family had KFC

This place needs a serious revamp, so old and dated with the usual fast food chains! Such a shame really as this is an awesome space with hardly any decent vendors in it.

Great for different types of foods

So many food choices !! Staff are on the ball clearing tables and keeping the place clean . Helpful staff, clean toilets in the vicinity.

Not a great selection of eateries for a food court.

Food from Chopstix wasn't great here today

Beautiful shopping experience. Got so much to do that o got confused 🤣

Wide range of places to choose from and plenty of seating but fills up fast

We ordered from KFC, Noodle shop and Pizza hut. Food quality was really sub standard. Maybe overall franchise business in UK is going down.

There are police usually at the top of the escalator for a reason ...left with a sense of doom when eating AVOID

super loud and busy but expected as it was during the christmas market rush, amazing food from a chinese noodle place and friendly staff

Typical fast food service. I didn't like the cheeseburger, the hungarian is much better done. 🤷‍♀️ McDonald's

Great choice of restaurants to choose from. Clean and hygienic eating area.

Subway love it. Nice big area . All different restaurants. Lots of seating.

Food is nice and affordable and best prices

☺️ Another good meal at our favorite Curry place in the Arndale Food Court

Always busy but can usually get a table within a few minutes, food usual stuff nothing great

Only go kfc nothing to write home about

Always pretty clean. Taco bell there too

Another giant shopping center. Variety of stores. Lots of fast food. Few healthy options 🙄

KFC food didn't have its normal taste

Depends on what you seek. Full of city vibe but too crowded to find a seat

Amazing garlic sauce is to die for and milkshakes are amazing!! Defo worth it!!!

A cozy food court, there are many brands, wide dining areas, clean, there are 2 levels. It is a nice place to enjoy.

Had a Chinese dish and it was overpriced and not the best. Mcdonalds heaving as always. Full of kids. Avoid at all costs as the food isn't even cheap anymore. Wish I'd gone to China town

Clean, plenty of choice, always busy.

Toilets weren't cleaned enough. The rest was fine.

Good selection but there are no tables that sit over 4 people and it is always very busy meaning sometimes food is cold as pre-prepared or over cooked cause they forget about it cause there to busy.

Very generic, usual suspects McDonald's, KFC, noodles, pizza. I personally bought a subway which is considerably cheaper than the others, this was first thing in the morning though. Plenty of seating but will probably fill up later and depending on the day. The service rating is for Subway.

Unfortunately no healthy or low fat or vegetarian options

This a nice and great place to be for hot meals

huge food court, always enough seats and a good selection of foods, good deals too.

Not the best. Too busy, food had been sat too long, over priced.

good food fast. KFC, McDonald's, taco bell and some other all thrown in one area foods hot and tasty, but getting a seat can be tricky also a small surcharge is added to your bill to cover the staff who clean the tables and watch you eat. HOWEVER if you need a drink or sweets/crisps/vape there are much cheaper places than the rip off news paper kiosk in the corner £4.50 FOR a red bull. try pound land downstairs for the same one for a quid!

So much to choose but only one belly 🤣

I ordered Waffle with ice cream. A bit pricey for a waffle 🧇 I beleive

Loud, but ok selection of food. Pizza, chicken, usual Maccies and Subway. Couple of Chinese offerings

Good place for food and shopping

Food was good. Overcrowded place

Very clean , good choice of food .

Plenty to choose from seems clean many staff going about tidying and phone charging supplies

Decent for fast food and somewhere to sit not much else to it

The court food is a good place to visit when dining out with friends and family.

Typical food court, sometimes difficult to find a free table.

It's a handy spot to take my daughter. She likes McDonald's, I like Noodle Box. Plus the new candy floss machine is good entertainment.

Food was okay not great. Hope they have more options as Trafford centre.

Really nice place where to have a meal as there is so many choices of food, that you will come back to try another kitchen if of course you don't want to Explorer from food in same day haha.

Excellent place to shop and spend the day!!! Alone or with friends and family. Cleanliness and safety as well as a wide variety of things to see.

Very overwhelming/crowded rude customers and unhappy staff probably due to people being rude/disrespectful to them. I work in retail and find people tiresome/rude and disrespectful to each other when really there's no need to be.

I've been to food courts all over the world. This has to be the worst. It was clean though and the service was good. Food not so.

People sitting idle and occupying seats/ tables is rude, many customers looking for table to seat and have their meals is unpleasant if they cannot have their meals comfortably seated.

Food Court here means “Fast Food Court”. I had something at Taco Bell, it wasn't great. In addition there are some rather badly behaved customers who put their dirty feet on the chairs. The tables are not clean and there is trash lying around. I don't recommend this place at all.

Standard food court, staff keep it tidy and clean

Done great little stalls here. Amazing burritos, used to be a great place called Hong Thai but that has closed sadly. Dunkin burgers is decent. Usually quite busy.

Great food choices but is very cold each time I have been. Clean and serviced by escalator and lifts both inside the building and to the street. Large open seating area with plenty of light. Toilets on this level too.

Lovely and friendly staff, and just about every type of fast food you can imagine

Place is always busy not great spending 20 mins to find a table then however long it takes to get your food .

Didn't eat here as nobody sold hot drinks

Great selection of food to satisfy all the family's tastes. Sometimes difficult to get a table.

Hina was great food was amazing I fancy her

Plenty of places open and lots of seating. Staff were really helpful

Lot's of variety and very helpful services. Super busy, but tables were cleaned quickly and became available fast.

Always crazy busy in here. Nice that it caters to numerous tastes.

Highly recommend the tasting menu

Its OK when it's not to crowded with kids you can eat in peace cleaning supervisors have a attitude problem with general staff as they can't have a conversation with public when quiet and a couple of the cleaners tend to linger a little near the table and making you feel a little bit un easy when you are getting ready to leave

We went to the KFC franchise, been there a few times because, the food is hot, the French fries taste so nice and it's quick service. For a food court, it was clean, tidy and well organised.

Typical food court has everything you need in one place

Gets very busy needs more baby chairs

I really like the choices they have here.

Nothing more you can ask for from a food court

I went and got my food from McDonald's. People stood about i had no clue who was waiting to be served, and they didn't form a line, so i stood 10 minutes then went near the front and just shouted my order a lady after 5 minutes said my price and i paid got my ticket stood 8 minutes got my order it was bedlam no one knew who had been served do lines at any of the 3 folk serving. I got my order and went to find somewhere to sit. There are no free tables. i put my tray on a bin, stood next to it, ate my meal. I will never go in again on my own. You need to go in pairs at least so 1 can get a table while the other goes and lines up for food. Every food place seems to have folk stood about no lines in any of the sood shops.

Get there early before it gets to busy anytime afternoon you will never find some where to sit

Busy place with few places closed but still plenty to choose from

Won't be going back anytime soon, the ignorance of some people and ferel behaviour of young kids is rife

Good selection of fast food if that is what you are after. Staff work like mad to keep the place clean. Quite a few tables. But can get very busy. Clean toilets and excellent location finishes the location. Definitely not romantic though. More need food and the larger choice of different restaurants should mean everyone can find something they want.

Full of Christmas shoppers, managed to find an empty table and had a KFC

Fairly good selection of food choices available. Spacious with plenty of seatings.

Very dirty and sticky tables. While we were trying to eat, there was a fight between teenagers. The security was fast to break up the fight. We did not feel comfortable there and had to leave without finishing our shopping.

very good the food is so tasy it will get crowwed

Ok went at the wrong time to much noise

Good place to sit down and eat in Manchester Town center

The food is the food. But there is not enough seating or people cleaning tables

Lovely place to have a lunch time break, plenty of seating, plenty of food choices

Busy and felt like a canteen at college if honest opinion

I have tried all the meals on the site and they all get 5 stars

Very spacious with nice fast food brand

I absolutely love the ardale centre food court I do live quite far away but it's well worth the journey

Has taco bell so instsntly 5 stars

Usually full of school kids hanging around the tables. Not too bad tonight as the Christmas markets are on.

Came into Manchester by train for a Taco Bell and it was absolutely horrible!!

Nice place to eat , many options

Gets really busy, but there are plenty of seating and establishments to eat from. Sub way, kfc, pizza hut, 2 x chinese places, macdonalds, another pizza place and a candy floss machine near the toilets which is pretty cool

Good options for shopping and eating

Typical shopping centre food court, fast food only

Plenty of tables- great choice of food. Very clean

Good selection of food. Obviously really busy. Tables kept nice and clean.

Cater for all foods but can be quite busy and sometimes hard to find a seat

Visited on a Sunday afternoon befor a gig at ao arena got to say very busy but enjoyable.. a lot of great shops and food court .

Good selection of food, plenty of seats in the centre so everyone can eat something different and still sit together.
