    What are the burgers like since they changed them recently? Any difference?

    Yeah even though I moved away from Dublin years ago I always just associate “town” with Dublin City😄

    Be lucky to get 2 coffees and sandwiches in Dublin for that! Slight exaggeration there but not far off! I think the survey receipt still works with random numbers on it though for a sandwich and fries? If anyone used it lately let people know.

    You’d often wonder how such incredibly wealthy and successful companies can be so stupid sometimes

    ”We’ve raised our prices so customers don’t seem to be buying as much”

    Yeah no **** they aren’t, welcome to your first day of economics Jesus. You’re McDonalds, you’re not an upmarket boutique restaurant - you are the machine. I don’t go to McDonald’s for the lovely atmosphere etc I want cheap food that taste nice but make me want to take a shower after for when I’m hungover

    There’s no shame in that McDonald’s, embrace what you are or lose us all

    Anyone else been having trouble with the double McMuffin code? Tried to use it today and I’m pretty sure it caused the entire system in the restaurant to go down….

    The small burger items (cheeseburger/double cheese burger) no difference. Maybe they didn't do any change there.

    But on quarter pounder definitely a change. Definitely juicier and noticeable.

    What have they actually changed about their burgers?

    It's hard to understand all the marketing bonse to figure out what's actually different

    The fast-food chain's Big Mac, Quarter Pounder and Cheeseburgers are all set for taste changes.

    Onions will now be placed on top of each beef patty while they are cooking on the grill for extra flavour.

    The restaurant chain also promised to use a "tighter sear on the grill" to produce "hotter and juicier" burgers.

    A new brioche-style bun will also be used by McDonald's restaurants across Ireland.

    yeah the survey receipt still works for Big Mac and medium fries for €3.90. Recently though Ive been using the receipt survey trick with Burger King, you get a free Whopper when buying a medium drink and fries which come to about €6. Nice to get the whole meal for €6 and a lot of Burger Kings now have free refills for the drink as they have self service soft drink dispensers

    American data but appears to mirror what we’ve seen here. I paid €8.95 for a quarter pounder in Amsterdam over the weekend, not for a meal, the burger alone - could hardly believe my eyes.

    I’m absolutely not buying it again for the foreseeable

    It’s not particularly nice, cheap or particularly fast. That will be an increasingly difficult sell.

    I read things that did not happen, like brioche bun, more sauce and "meltier cheese" which I took to mean a different recipe.

    The bun is simply cooked more, so browner, the burgers are seared and so hotter and the cheese is put on this so melts a little better. There was a tiny sprinkle of onions on top of the burgers, said to be added during cooking. The bun definitely looked more brown, and burgers were definitely seared more. In a blind tasting I doubt I would tell them apart eating side by side, and I expect many people would think there is no change to bun or sear unless they had an old one to compare -I always remember the burgers as being very pale with no sear.


    https://www.mcdonalds.com/ie/en-ie/latest/best-burger.html

    Juicier Patties

    First, we start by searing our 100% Irish beef patties so they’re even juicier.


    Onions At The Grill    

    Then, we add onions to the grill on our Big Mac® and Double Cheeseburger for extra flavour.


    New Toastier Buns
    Next up, delicious new buns toasted slightly longer.

    Meltier Cheese

    Oh, and we’re serving our burgers hotter too, so the cheese is even meltier.

    I've only seen this advertised on UK tv so not sure about here.

    "The fast-food giant has crafted the “3 for £3” Mix ‘N’ Match Menu, which will be available in all UK and Ireland stores starting Wednesday, May 22. This special offer runs for three weeks, giving fans a limited time to enjoy a variety of their favorite items."

    But a few years ago hadn't they started pre-cooking burgers, and storing them in trays (without dressing/bun) and then dressing to order. It resulted in dried up burgers unless they had just been cooked, but "freshly dressed". Has that abominable practice ceased?

    Deals no good, the normal 6 quid saver deals they've introduced probably the best value now.

    Only reason I ever go anymore is the odd McFlurry on a Friday.

    I was in the Netherlands recently and on the app was 9 nuggets for €1.50. Came back home and the offer was 9 nuggets... For €4.50!

    I miss the glory days of the eurosaver menu!

    The wrap of the day at €2.90 with no code needed, is probably the best value item on the menu.

    Gave up on Mickie ds before Christmas. I've not bought anything for wife and I since then except for 2 mc flurrys (which I also felt was a rip off). The kids have still gotten a few happy meals but the price of it, I now go chipper every time. Same price for much better quality.

    McDonald's badly lost their way and good that they missed their targets, very much deserved. Greedy aasholes.
