Mcdonald's Restaurants in County Durham

Food was good but did take a bit to come and i went to use the bathroom with a friend and we were leaving and i held the door for her then a female worker told us to get out if i was just going to stand and the door and i told her that i was holding the door for my friend and she continued to say less of the attitude which was not needed

My hubby and I got 2 vegan burger meals( McPlant) 1 Tropicana & 1 diet coke - medium £13.13 The vegan burger has got alot smaller. First time in a long tome I've eaten from Mc Donald's. Won't be going back.

Every single time we order from here, something is missing!

Absolute shambles since the refit. Car park rammed with clapped delivery driver cars that are seemingly abandoned or parked across multiple spots. 22 minutes I’ve just waited for a couple of double cheeseburgers and they weren’t even fresh. Dried out and cold burgers. Mmm lovely.

Literally every time I go I'm told to park up and wait even for basic orders.. A couple of times I've waited and been given stale food.. What exactly am I waiting for because it's not fast or even fresh food? 😂

Nona shouted at us a lot for no reason she is a cheeky woman and thinks not very nice kept coming over making rude comments towards me and my friend telling us to hurry up and drink telling us if we take to long to order we get kicked out when the table service number was in front of her, she was questioning us on what we orderd and in general she was just being rude

Don't eat the food buy love to stop for a coffee

I find the team at Consett McDonald's are always well mannered and helpful. And the hot drinks and food are always well presented. Thank you 🙂👍

Sorry Maccy D food was not up to standard special order meals and they arrived burgers so so the fries dry like cardboard and cold caught a staff member who wasn't interested so we left

Absolutely useless store, get parked up for happy meals all the time.

i have been waiting for my order for the past two hours and it’s still now here i ordered 4 things this is actually ridiculous and i’m raging

Ordered on the app literally missing half my order so was missing a full meal and a some of kids meal rang up told to ring the phone number they give me was not helpful at all full of crap all the the food we received was freezing and all that was said is the driver made it there in good time and that means they serving stone cold food in store it’s disgusting service fuming

Consistent, you know what you are getting.

It's McDonald's. You know what you're getting

Came to consett for Xmas shopping with a girlfriend and 2 kids age 4.5 and 5.5 We ordered 2 kids meals and 2 cheese burgers by the time they arrived my ass had shrunk from being the size of Botswana to the Isle of wight the hamster on the wheel that makes the burgers was obviously on his break and the cheese was still being processed. The fact, that PC plod came for a visit to investigate a crime whilst eating my ice burger wasn't the best (colder than my coke by the way) next time will give kfc ago to see if that's any quicker!

How can it take 15.mins wait for 2 cheese burger then still had to go into restaurant used drive throw. Totally rubbish not acceptable

Arrived and ordered on the electronic ordering computer. Waited about 20 minutes for takeaway. Many chips spilled on the tray left on the tray. I live three minutes from the restaurant food cold on arrival home. None of the sauces selected were in the bag. I said to the server. Do we just lose those chips as they remained on the tray. He looked puzzled and said we don't like doing this either. Not sure what he meant. It's ages since I've been to McDonald's due to poor service. It'll be a while before I go again.

Do not come here if you want a full order. It is utterly astounding how chaotic this McDonald's is. They were closed for months for refurbishment, but it seems it's now even worse than it was before. Every time I have been here, the service has been the slowest I've ever experienced at any McDonald's, and almost always there are items missing from the order. This McDonald's is not fit for its location. It's clearly short-staffed and under extremely poor management.

First 2 order screens not working, but at least the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Insanely slow, appears to be under very poor management.

It was quite slow service even though not busy when we went.

Service a little slow for eating in as they seem to prioritise the drive thru. But overall it's OK. It's like all McDonald's.

Enjoyed sitting in McDonald's for a change instead of going through the drive .

All of the food was perfect and so was the majority of the staff there was one staff member that just had something against me and I think her name was Nina first I was ordering on the machine and it wasn’t working but I was still calm but then she came over and said “don’t hit it hard or it will freeze just be patient” then I sat down and was still sitting down so my foot was on the chair for a second and she comes over and says “get your feet of the chair” as if that wasn’t bad enough she gave me hacky looks the whole time I was in the restaurant everyone else was lovley and so was the food she was the only bad thing

My recent experiences since the re-opening have not been good…annoying when you get home to find items missing or wrong items…today took the biscuit ‘(literally)….no fruit bag, no small fries and no brownie….but hey I did get a biscuit…..they need to sort themselves out !!

(Cold food) spent £38 with delivery what a waste of money never again disgusting service and spoken to a American not interested what so ever worse service ever was for my grandchidren as a treat once a month 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Bad service and didn't get food I ordered

Terrible service, what use is a Big Mac with only one burger??

They didn't give me my apple pie

Always get something wrong on the order even if it's at the drive thru. Ordered via the app and for the 3rd time in 5 orders something is missing or wrong. Can't get through via phone and reporting via Uber eats triggered only £1.20 refund. Waste of time.

Ordered off just eat and half order was missing options were either come up and get it or come tomorrow What use is that Typical Consett McDonalds

Food is always delivered cold to your door. Live 2 mins away🤷‍♂️. Ordered 7 things, got one monopoly card, sure the staff at consett are stealing them for themselves. The winners will all be McDonald’s employees

There's nowhere to park. There are never milkshakes

Shambolic, how difficult can it be to put a few items in a bag correctly?

I ordered through Uber Eats. They missed all of the Hash browns off the order Apparently they couldn't rectify this because according to the Manager of Macdonald's Consett. They work for Uber.

Just Eat and this McDonald's seem to have an inability to work cohesively. I imagine there is some poor management at play, and it's probably understaffed for the demand of the area. Overall, the service is friendly, but average, you shouldn't expect much more from McDonald's "they aren't lovin' it". Food average as always, but convenient and cheap.

3rd time my daughter breakfast hasent came. Easy to see on the order that there 3 burgers 4 hashbrowns and 2 orange juice. Nope half that's missing and it's stone Cold absolutely joke sick and tired of this with mc delivery and they refuse to answer the phone as they know it's someone calling to kick off about missing orders

Not very fast food had to ask how long after 30 mins wait

This McDonalds is comically slow. You'll easily wait 20+ minutes for food. The building is nice since the refurbishment, but they must be either consistently understaffed or incompetent... or both.

I went to this Macdonald's this morning at just after 5am. Despite it being 'open 24 hours' it wasn't. There were cones out 'restaurant ' was locked. I couldn't get in and no one let me in even tho they could see me waiting. So zero stars from me for food, service and atmosphere as I didn't get any of it. So I had to starve till I got to Bishop Auckland Macdonald's. Bishop MacDonald's saved my life! Consett Macdonald's don't care if you live or die!

Honestly since this big "re-opening" I would just avoid this branch. Chances are you'll get half your order and half of someone else's, or just half of your own, and when it arrives it'll be cold. Phoning the branch does nothing as they blame just eat. Requested my refund, going somewhere else. I recommend doing the same if you're reading this.

Food was 1 hour and a half late, freezing cold, and when I rang up, it was up to me to drive down there to get a new "delivered order." Not so much as an apology, either. Absolutely disgraceful.

Car park is always full of just eat people waiting for orders so hard to get parked. Always have to wait in bays if using drive through. Had a recent refurbishment but nothing has really changed other than an extra window on the drive through. Service is slow because they are so busy with just eat and deliveroo orders. No longer "fast" food.

Rubbery barely warm fries. Straight in the bin.

I've had to amend my review as today they have refused to add lettuce on my Double Quarter Pounder. Would it be that much trouble of them to add it on? Seemly so.

Food and staff are lovely but it’s always 50/50 whether milkshakes will be available ☹️

Third time in a row visiting that our orders were wrong, just changing a McFlurry for the correct one took over 30 minutes!! There was actually a small line of people waiting to get the correct orders, at least we weren’t alone in our experience I suppose. Both me and my partner have been ill twice after eating here since it reopened, seemingly from the burgers. He ended up with food poisoning, glad I just had a dodgy stomach. Seen many others complaining of the same things, better off going to Stanley McDonald’s and that’s saying something!

Mc Ds ok. No need to say out else about it really............. lol.

Since reopened takes the absolute piss service is so long

Always have to wait in car park as food is never ready. Even the designated parking areas are full so just get told to park anywhere and by the time they have wandered round trying to find your car the food is cold

The place is lovely and clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Absolutely spot on.

We just ordered a chicken burger with NO sauce or veggies. Just a plain burger that’s it. It now said it might take 40 minutes but it’s taking the piss. Ordered around 11.30 and it is now 12.00 on the dot. ONE CHICKEN BURGER. I’ll update if it comes cold; also they haven’t even prepared it yet. Raging !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely disgusting food. Went back to rectify but was still provided with horrible food cold, brown fries, wrong burger given, charged extra for the right burger and when given the food back they didn't give us both fries only one. If I could give a 0 star I would. FERRAL

Refurbished but nowhere near as good as its sister branch 6 miles away in Stanley. However, staff are still great. McDonald's app is still rubbish.

Standard mcdonalds nothing more to say.

How disgusting, rubbish all over the floor and tables. Drunks asleep at the tables, there is more atmosphere on the moon. Really is this what the manager thinks is acceptable, if so, he/she should be sacked period.

Waited over 20 minutes just for a cheeseburger and every other person ordered after me got there food management don’t care at all it’s a disgrace get proper management and proper training again for customer service

Second time I have been, where the order was a wrong. After waiting in a long time for the drive through,.my order was wrong. only to be told for them to correct an order, "I need to go back around through the drive through" which would have taken over 20 minutes to correct a mistake made by the incompetent staff. The person taking the order from the machine cut me off in the middle of my order, which had to be semi rectified with two orders. Which resulted in missing food. Do not use this place and if you are an employer avoid hiring anyone who has worked in this Macdonald's, I have never had such an incompetent experience made by the staff after it has reopened.

Went to consett McDonald's waited half hour to be served at drive in and 5 cars went through no 1 and no one came on mic at 2 went to counter asked why and the girl said the headset had gone dead but no body came out to let the customers know what was happening which is totally not good service and management

Ordered from Uber eats this place can't get orders right or missing items when ordered from platforms not the first time I have been conned from this place staff want to consider people's money and food instead of conning people out of pocket not very happy definitely better to go in and order. I know there are busy but its taking the Mick when you spend money on food and don't receive it I hope the management team at Consett see this and pull there fingers out of there backside and get people there moneys worth and food as promised instead of conning out of money/food!

Still no care for proper customers, I did think the refurbishment would mean better and faster but alas this establishment is now worse than the customer experience at Stanley and that’s a hard mark to surpass more interested in just eat takeouts than customers who turn up to the restaurant hang your heads in shame Consett McDonald’s to be worse than Stanley takes an amazing amount of effort

FAST FOOD MY A**E. ORDERED AND WAITED OVER 30 MINS FOR 2 SIMPLE MEALS AND A COFFEE, STILL NO SIGN OF FOOD. ASKED FOR A REFUND AND THE LAD BEHIND THE TILL GAVE ME THE WRONG AMOUNT. WENT BACK TO TILL AND THEY HAD NO INTEREST, THEN AFTER ABOUT 2 MINS THE SAME LAD GAVE ME THE REMAINING AMOUNT. OTHER CUSTOMERS WAITED OVER 10 MINS FOR SOME FRIES AND 6 NUGGETS. NO APOLOGIES OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT FOR ACTIONS. ABSOLUTE JOKE. WONT BE COMING BACK HERE EVER AGAIN. P.s. Went around the corner to KFC, ordered and received in less than 10mins.

How disappointing!! we've waited months for the grand reopening of the Consett branch, and today was my first visit, and what an absolute dismissal experience, yes it was quite busy, but it took the clueless staff over 40 minutes to complete my order, and that was only after I complained, dozons of people came and went while I waited, to pass the time I counted cars leaving the drive through, I lost count at 50, plus when I complained all I got was a surly attitude from the older women behind the counter, the only advice I have for future customers, is to use the drive through, or just eat(same driver came and went 3 times while I waited), because going in-store is horrendous

Chips cold, burger warm and coffee tepid at best.

Asked for a mayo chicken with cheese and I received a scabby stone cold meal! All the kids happy meals were stone called milkshakes melted! And then contacted McDonald’s for them to say they can’t do nothing because it was delivered within the time it said. The time had changed 3 different times!! Absolute disgrace

Nil, it was apparently closed for refurbishment, but that was not stated on the webshite.

McDonald's at Pond business park Consett is Brilliant service lovely staff,really clean restaurant and toilets, we go here sometimes twice a day, food is presented neat and not swimming in grease, nice latte's too.

Fast food? I ordered on just eat, watched for 45mins it said it was out for delivery with the courier, then suddenly cancelled. No reason why, just you're cancelled mate. Won't answer phone so never again, never!

The place is clean people are nice the food is delicious I would definitely suggested yo all my family and friends better than KFC over the road

It's McDonalds, can they get more than 3 stars? The food last time was lukewarm and the halloumi fries were limp and soggy....

Ordered through the app so quick service. One meal and side order of mozzarella sticks to take away. Burger and fries lovely but mozzarella sticks were missing from order . Must remember to start checking before leaving

.the macdonalds at the metro center cinema is arguably the worst and most extremely dirty litter everywhere no clean seating and the food was awful

If you like hairy food, then you’ve hit the jackpot, you’ll have so much on your chips, you can even make a new wig

Overpriced for the breakfast menu. Cheaper now to go anywhere else. Not worth it!

Ice cream machine only works in winter

Fast friendly service inside the restaurant.

This branch is too small to accommodate their customers. They need to expand

Not so good chips pasty looking kids chicken nuggets to hard to eat very dissatisfied not a patch on our local one at stanley County durham

No greeting, no acknowledgement, no "have a nice day" but more annoying was she stood talking to a staff member about non work things, with my orders bag sitting open and when my number was called I realized it was my order and had a luke warm burger... shocking customer service all round... Won't be returning...👎👎

Can't fault a decent makkies. The staff are the icing on the cake, absolutely superb levels of customer service, friendliness and attention to detail

Had to wait almost 10mins for the food to be stone cold, waste of money

Hate to leave a bad review but food today was so bad and inedible. Dry, rubbery tasteless chicken sandwich with brown lettuce. Fries were limp and anaemic looking and also had to pull into bay and wait. Only giving two stars for friendly staff.

Very poor mcdonalds very rarely get your order right or miss things off. Its not that hard to read from a ticket and not miss things but here it seems virtually impossible

This place serves rotten lettuce on its wraps and sandwiches food was not cooked properly and was cold and soggy absolutely disgusting and not fit to eat health hazard as staff do not check the food they serve

Consett. "Manager" Went for breakfast today at 505am no one else in drive through told to park in car park so she could make it look like she's being efficient waited 10 mins or so for the manager to virtually throw my food into my car the when I suggested she had an attitude she turns into david daily taking photos of my reg saying she's having me arrested for verbal abuse lol please retrain her and give her anger management , unbelievable that she's been given responsibility as the people normally serving are quite cool 😎

Best McDonald ever food great chips sometimes burnt but that doesn’t matter me. My son loves it it’s just great

i hate you all, been waiting an hour need to be up at 6 man just wanted a lush little treat and yas never even made me order man, think am stupid a know you’s weren’t busy wey just watch bonnie lads i’ve got a mate in ponds court and shas watching yas in the right way

Food is fake. Only good stuff is the fries if they have just been cooked or they are soggy 🍟

Can't really comment on the atmosphere as I used the app and went through the drive thru. Service was fantastic, food tasted fresh.

Hardly ever have food ready...quite often pls pull into the car park...on 1 occasion they forget my order...I was waiting in the carpark for 20 minutes....need to do better

Burgers are never hot even when really busy.

Delicious food. Had a perfect experience

Long wait to place my order, everything was very hectic and stressful behind the counter..

never get any orders right my friend asked for a plain double cheese burger and got a single cheese burger with ketchup gurkins onions mayo and tomatos no order are correct KFC is better

Quick efficient and nice treat for kids.

Amazing cleanliness . Real care taken with the outdoor patio weeded and cleaned

It's not open 24/7 just been told they are closed while stepping in at 1am, no reason,.no re-open time given...

Hair in my burger today last week a member of staff served us our food after scratching his beard totally rank hygiene level has gone right down hill in the last few weeks

Absolutely awful gf options...

Completely the wrong order delivered and the staff could not have been less interested. Extremely poor customer service.
