Careless stupid staff. Ordered food specific due to allergies LIFE THREATENING ONES. Ignored everything and sent a child's meals with the allergen foods. Called 112 times and the phones been taken off. We have this so many times with this place now I am taking it further. You could have killed my child because of your stupidness and it's disgusting you can ignore people and not even check.

Bins overflowing and tables not being cleared. Took 20 minutes for my single wrap to be made due to all the Uber eats orders which seem to take priority. The curly haired lad making the food was rubbing his nose and then taking the meat out of the draws with his fingers whilst laughing with his colleague. When I opened my wrap it only had one piece of chicken, when I informed the lady at the till she just laughed and took it into the back to show the lad who made it, who also found it funny, no apology from anyone. 10 minutes later I got a new wrap but decided to bin it as I didn't trust they hadn't spat in it. I will never EVER step foot in this "restaurant" again. Absolutely appalling.

Came through the drive through to get food bought out wrong order entirely my partner went in to sort it they gave him literally just his meal not mine then came back and gave him my food for him to put in bag himself and then still forgot a burger we ordered and gave us half a filled box of fries. When our order was being taken at the drive through nothing was showing on the screen either.

Visited this McDonalds off Frank Whittle Way in Derby on Sunday 21st for dinner and found a long queue for the drive-thru, so waited 10 mins and placed our order for four meals costing over £25, then eventually asked to wait. I asked where I should park and the lady just looked vacant and said "anywhere, we'll find you". Ok so it was really busy with people waiting and Ubereats drivers (with their cool bags) but I managed to find a space back around near the drive-thru. Nobody came out for 15 minutes so I became frustrated and went inside... again there was a massive queue waiting to be served but eventually I got to the front and was told someone will bring our food out ASAP. Five minutes later a guy came out with our meals and we opened the bag to find two out of the four burgers were stone cold! I just couldn't be bothered to go back inside and wait yet again so we just gave up and left. Its not the first time we've had bad service at this Meteor McDonalds that to me is one of the worst run I have ever known. In future we'll drive further away to Markeaton or just go to Burger King, KFC or the new Tim Hortons, they do not deserve our business.

1400-1500 After an Uber eats sealed delivery. Items were missing from McDonald’s. Mainly a cheeseburger missing from a child who was very upset. Out of a £42.57 order I was missing £13 worth of food. Spoke to the staff at counter to a very un-caring shift manager insinuated I was a liar and it wasn’t missing. And it was. I wouldn’t have used £7 of fuel for £1.29 cheeseburger. It angered me. Tried speaking to the other shift manager Lauren who was a bit more who seemed a little bit nicer, however, still Didn’t help my situation. I don’t think this is a way to speak to the customers. So I spoke to a friend who was a former employee at this particular restaurant. He assured me non of the staff are hygienic and they go for cigarettes and don’t wash their hands. Sweat drips into the food and is served to customers. Coughing and sneezing on the food work station and not cleaning. Males masturbate In the toilets and they don’t wash their hands. On Saturday nights the female staff put the buns in the rear side of their trousers to simulate bum implants and it’s served to customers. I’m absolutely gobsmacked by the staff and service.

This restaurant has become useless. I've had Mcflurries that are less than half full, 7 nuggets when I've paid for 9, fries that barely fill the packet and a burger with so much sauce it looked like a murder scene. Markeaton branch is so much better.

We often get deliveries or drive throughs from here. The kids love it. The adults less so - due to the constant problems we have. We're always missing items (especially apple pies!) or they ignore any instructions we give. The latest delivery we had was missing 4 items. We haven't had any issues with the other McDonald's we use in Derby.

I’ve been coming to that Maccies for some time, I’m here eating Maccies for the 4th time in 2 months and I’m just sat here and I’m fuming. I can’t believe McDonald’s and I can’t believe the meteor centre, and I’m staggered at the service, I’m sick to death with the wrong order. If I was the manager I’d be giving the workers a fine. Or be swinging punches, it’s a standard order for an established international company I’m flabbergasted. If I was the manager I would be making changes. Been pretty rubbish at the moment sort it out. Kind regards The G

This McDonalds is my local one and Evey single time I go there they miss an item or its stone cold and ALWAYS spend at least 25 minutes waiting for it. They say fast food kills you quicker but I think dying of old age is the biggest concern going there. Why take so many orders if you can't keep up with the demand. Absolutely no concern for the customer at all. If I ran my business the same as that particular McDonalds I'd be bankrupt by end of month.

Just been to the drive through. 3 medium chips and 3 double cheeseburgers. Good job we checked at the pick up point as no chips in the bag. Got home to find the chips cold and stale, with the burger in a similar state. The bread felt about 2 days old. If it was not for the fact we were at home eating them (about a mile away) they would have been returned. We will not be going back there in a hurry!!

Visited on Saturday 6th around 12:45.Unfortunately, I can't leave zero stars so it has to be one!I have several complaints about the service provided by this restaurant and the quality of the food served.It seems that everything that could have gone wrong with my visit to this particular franchise, did - from the long wait in a queue to order at the drive-thru (approx 10 mins), to ordering one drink and finding at the pay window that a different drink was being offered (they didn't have the drink I had ordered but didn't tell me at the time of placing my order) and all three items of food I purchased were lukewarm (why this was so is a good question since the drive-thru was nose-to-tail and presumably fresh food was being cooked continuously?)I didn't complain at the time - not wanting to enter the confined space inside the restaurant - my reason for enduring the 10min queue to order at the drive-thru. There were no staff members outside either that could be told.I contacted McDonald's UK Customer Service immediately after returning home - such was the appaling experience I'd had - but theyaren't in the least bit interested as this restaurant is a franchise operation and have effectively 'passed the buck'.I know that 'Fast Food' isn't 'Fine Dining' but when you visit a McDonalds restaurant, you would expect the service to be quicker and the food to be hot. Or am I just being picky??

Used the drive-thru today 7/3/21 at 11:50 and the girl Ellie (I asked for her name) who took our order was very polite, kind and nothing was too much for her when we asked to change our order. If everyone had the same courteous manners as she does it would make everyone’s experience so much more enjoyable. Speedy service too. Will definitely be back!

I asked if able to do the bigger version no problem at all, Had a meal deal. Service is slower than day time but quality of food is alot better worth the wait. Then ordered apple with ice cream yum yum of course had to have a hot chocolate too. The majority of staff over all are very good in general both day and night .

Visited with daughter and my partner on a Friday morning 9am. Expected it to be a lot busier than it was. Place was clean and quiet and a good place to stop off for the usual offerings McDonalds have.Staff were friendly behind the counter and on the floor cleaning and tidying regularly. The car park used to be small but has been expanded to allow driving through to pets at home next door if there's no spaces. Food was fresh and hot and prompt considering items were customised.

Thought I’d have a Caesar salad as I hadn’t had one for at least 2 years. Not a fan of McDonald’s!I will totally avoid from now on. My meal was awful. Skimpy salad and definitely not Caesar. No parmesan and given balsamic dressing but worst of all the crispy chicken was squeaky ...didn’t even taste like real chicken and I’m worried it may have been under done as it was luke warm . I should no better hence didn’t eat after first piece. The salad was very skimpy and basic. 2 pieces cucumber and tomato with frilly lettuce which is a nightmare to eat. Wish I’d stuck to my original plan and gone to Morrison’s!

I really don't like the new layout and procedure for food ordering.You now have to queue to place your order, (only one till), you're given a ticket and then you queue again waiting for your number to come up on the screen to say your order is ready - just like Argos!We forgot our drinks but decided to go without cos there's no way I was going through all that palarva again!!Also, the computers on the long table - about 5 of them - are distracting to children when they're eating. Parents were getting really cross because their children were playing on them and not eating. Also, there were children getting upset because they couldn't get a go! I can see a lot of arguments and disappointment being caused by them.There's a screen just inside the door where you can order your food, pay by card and it's delivered to your table. I don't know what the wait's like for that service but all as I can say is there's nothing 'FAST' about McDonald's Meteor Centre Derby 'fast' food anymore!!

I wouldn't normally bother writing a review of a McDonalds--normally they are pretty standard but having visited this site twice recently for coffee whilst travelling I have to say it is the slowest service I have ever encountered in a McDonalds. When travelling McDonalds is normally an easy bet for easy parking, clean toilets and good coffee. When I finally got my coffee it was good but on both occasions I couldn't believe just how long they took to serve each and every person at the counter. The food was all prepared they didn't seem to be waiting for anything but everyone moved slowly, had a chat with their mates and there was no logical sequence to them getting orders in the quickest fashion. They got each item individually put it on the counter went back to where they had just been to get the next item etc. There appeared to be a team on the drive through and that was definately the quickest option but nothing like the same support in store. If it had been a one off I would just have dismissed it and not bothered with a review but twice in a few days seemed to show a pattern. Equally if it had been exceptionally busy I appreciate its difficult to deal with demand but that just didn't seem to be the case here! Coffee good, service very slow.

The entire party had to then choose alternatives they weren’t entirely keen on because we had already paid. I find it hard to believe they didn’t know before. We also witnessed a staff member being quite unkind to another employee who was taking orders, and seating walk ins, telling him off and telling him to wash plates instead of seating walk ins. When our food did arrive, only 2 out of the 3 items came. We waited 25 mins for a Sundae to arrive, when it didn’t we told the staff who said it was coming. It then took 10mins for this to arrive. It really shouldn’t take 35 mins to put some ice cream in a bowl. Youre better off going to Heavenlys down the road. Don’t waste your time here.

Our final visit to the Bonnie Prince before it closes and becomes a Hickory Smokehouse. Great service from the staff as always, especially April. So helpful and makes sure everything is 100% right and everyone is happy. Great to hear we will see her again at the Merlin in the future
