Advantages: inexpensive, plenty of restaurants to pick from

Disadvantages: Not the most healthy meal, not as filling as some competitors

I know there are hundereds of reviews for mcdonalds, so what can i add you ask?? Well this is just my experiences from eating at Mcdonalds, hope you enjoy :)

Firstly a lil bit of info and history about Mcdonalds...

McDonalds began in 1940 with one restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald.
In the modern day McDonalds is the biggest fast food resaurant in the world with over 31000 sites and serving nearly 47 million customers on a daily basis!! The Golden Arches are the best known symbol of McDonalds, incorporated in 1962.

Next my experience...

The McDonalds i visited was in St. Annes Sq in Manchester, it was around 1pm (my dinner time). Dreading the worst i expected there to be masses of ques and people pushing, much to my suprise entering it all seemed very calm and controlled (even though there was alot of customers in at the time). I wan't in the que for long and i felt it was managed very well with all the till points being used.

I decided to order my usual which is Large Big mac meal with a coke (Ketchup and Sweet and sour sauce for dipping), you can get food to take out or eat inside, this particular McDonalds had plenty of seating availble as there are two floors, plus the added bonus there was computers available for internet use (who knows when you might want to start your next dooyoo review??!).
On this occassion the food tasted fresh and as good as always.

Now the downside... The Nutritional values of my meal!!

Big mac- Large Fries- Large Coke-

Kcal- 490 460 210
Protein- 28g 5g 1g
Carbs- 41g 60g 53g
Fat- 24g 23g 0g
of which sats- 10g 2g 0g
Fibre- 4g 6g 0g
Salt- 2.1g 0.9g 0.1g

Not really the healthiest meal available but still it fills you... for about ten minutes. I think these are the two main downfalls to McDonalds very unhealthy and not filling me for long (hope i'm not greedy and i'm the only person that thinks this lol).
I try not to eat McDonalds too much but sometimes its just thing i fancy (mostly hung over), but in recent times healthy options have been added to the menu not that i have tried these but its atleast the choice is there.

McDonalds also offer a breakfast menu, and dessert menus. if you want to veiw the full menu it is available on the officail web site.

Summary: Good meals, just not totally filling
