“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.”

“Order a cheeseburger with every add-on. Was good. Of course, it required a refreshing beverage… 100 frozen cokes was sufficient. Would recommend.”

“I would like to thank a Filipina employee at McDonald's Hornby for her outstanding service. She wears eye glasses. She maintained her composure, professionalism, and helpfulness despite the busy store and the problems with the kiosks. She handled the problem with patience and elegance, She deserves praise for her professionalism and did a great job.”

“The man that served us was the nicest mcdonald's worker I've ever met. He was very nice and bubbly and attentitive to our needs. He said welcome and goodbye to everyone who walked in. The food was great as always.”

“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.”

“I called up because a sauce had been not added in our order and my daughter having eating disorder won’t eat her food without I rang up and the amazing Nicole replaced our happy meal with the sauce. As driving back can be an incredibly inconvenient, very happy customer thank you. Great service”

“Sasha was so lovely and polite while taking my order. She is such gem and will definitely go extremely far in life. Get her to become manager!!!!”

“We had dinner here for 2 nights and Bishall and Karla who is only a Trainee was very helpful to me and my husband. They made sure that we are comfortable where we are seated and always spot on with the food in all aspects. They made us feel very special. Thank you guys. You rock!”

“We were delightfully surprised by this hidden gem tucked away in the Tuam St kitchens. There was a bit of a mix up with our order making it take 20+ minutes extra but considering it was a very rainy and busy Sunday night and the food was still handed to us piping hot with an extra mango lassi we weren't too fussed. Any small amount of hanger we were still experiencing was immediately blown away the moment we opened those containers and saw the glorious food inside! Everything was amazing. Beautiful soft lamb in the rogan josh, tasty chicken tikka, super stretchy cheese naan. Definitely the best Indian takeaway I've ever had. Restaurant quality to go! Highly recommend you check them out.”
