“Woah...portions are BIG....ribs were really nice and if you are not too hungry, maybe a starter portion is sufficient. their burger was also super, and beer to go with it. all good. Just be careful though if u are ordering sides, be clear what you ordered and how much extra it will cost. I ordered a side I thought came with the main course and ended up paying close to $10 for the side.”

“Always a great experience at the Merivale McDonald’s! The staff are friendly and efficient, and orders come out hot and fresh every time. The place is well kept and has plenty of seating, making it comfortable even when it’s busy. Drive-thru service is quick and accurate, and parking is easy. One of the best McDonald’s locations around—consistent quality and great service.”

“Great staff and fast service. Facilities are clean and well kept. Had great laugh as the staff dealt with the rudest woman this earth has seen. On the phone, whinging about slow service but to lazy to listen for her number being called on multiple occasions. She ended up leaving with cold food and cold coffee. The staff handled this entitled horse enthusiast who left her child in a hot car beautifully. Well done.”

“I have to say BROOKE is the BEST MACCAS EMPLOYEE in the world!!! She was very friendly and provided great service. She solved my problem quickly despite being very busy. She came like an angel when people were in trouble. I have never spoken so highly of any service person. Brooke must be a role model for all service professionals. If I were Christopher John Kempczinski, I would give this girl a promotion.”

“Absolutely delicious! The food was incredibly fresh, and every detail was well thought out—even the takeaway came with a clever chip cup to stop any dripping. I had the mix with the shredded beef and it was so tender and full of flavour—absolutely delicious. And the churros were a standout—soft in the middle and just amazing. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves quality food and great service!”
