McDonald's in Köln

I come here very rarely, usually only out of necessity. Fortunately, if you want a good burger, there are more than enough better alternatives these days. When I go to McD's, it's only because it's quick and the drive-thru is convenient if you want to keep driving. Making burgers isn't rocket science. Especially not at places like McD's, where you simply have to work exactly according to the recipe and schedule without any initiative. But if you're so confused that you can make two out of three burgers wrong, i.e., deliver two different burgers than the ones you ordered and charge more (!) for them, then you'd better look for an even less demanding job. From now on, I'd rather go to KFC. I've never experienced anything as miserable there as I did at McD's.

System failed. Many things were incorrectly determined or handed over. Had to wait 20 minutes for the food even though there weren't many people in front of me.

Thank you, Professor Matin Al-Turki.

So, I'm just going to rate the cappuccino ☕️, the great staff, and the location... here you can sit relaxed in the sun 🔆 outside from 8:00 a.m., look at the green, and comfortably read the first online news via the free Wi-Fi... no comparison to the MCDs in the big neighboring city 😉

The food was great, but what's wrong with the drinks? Unfortunately, our Cokes tasted very stale and weren't even cold. I know they use syrup, but the drinks shouldn't be so low in carbonation.

Yes, this place is quite easy to visit. By car, but also by bus.

I only ordered one ice cream, and it took over 20 minutes. First of all, the employees were so disrespectful. Also, the ice cream was made so strangely that you couldn't eat it. It was so full and so runny that it wasn't ice cream, it was a drink. Some employees worked very quickly, but others worked very slowly, which delayed everything. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth it.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. We ordered two salads. One was well-filled. One was incredibly underfilled. When I commented, the manager threw the salad away (why would they throw it in the trash?) and made a new one. This one was full, but with a huge lettuce stem that, of course, shouldn't have belonged in the salad. A real shame.

Only go to Bürgerking! No Happy Meal toys, only the booklet was left, which no one wanted. Total chaos at the inside distribution station. McDonald's is no longer child-friendly, I only go to Bürgerking.

Always waiting time in the McDrive required

Despite selecting "eat in" the cappuccino was unfortunately only available in a cup.

Just McDonald's, 😄😉 everything as usual, fast food, that's exactly why I go to McDonald's every now and then to get a Bug Mac meal!!😁😎

7 euros for mcsmart make cheaper no money

Simply disgusting and revolting. Leftover food everywhere, dirty tables. The restrooms are abysmal. The staff are beyond unappetizing. And just like the impression, the food is just like that. I left everything... Ugh. McDonald's is just garbage.

I regularly go to McDonald's, but this location stands out for its unfriendly and disinterested staff. Our order was incomplete, and when I pointed this out, the employee got irritated and made me feel like I was complaining.

Everything was fine, they prepared and brought it quickly, but there was almost nowhere to sit because almost all the benches were dirty and no one cared about it.

The cashier, the mustache disrespectful

Two adults and two children ate different menus here. The service was good, but the quality of the food was abysmal. The fries were almost cold and tasted "old"—not crispy at all. The donuts, on the other hand, were really hard—old. The burgers were carelessly put together; everything was crooked and sideways, and the sauce was running down the side so you couldn't really touch it. I wouldn't go back.

I got meat twice, even though I ordered a vegetarian product! One vegan burger came with a meat patty. One of the veggie nuggets had meat in it!

I ordered a McFlurry with double caramel sauce, and it's not even half full. And there's almost no sauce, just at the very bottom. Are you serious?

I went to McDonald's tonight and ordered 20 chicken nuggets, they were not fresh, they were cold.

You feel comfortable – tidy and hygienic! Great atmosphere and helpful staff. The burger was perfectly prepared – fresh and exactly as ordered. Always happy to come back – delicious food and friendly staff! 👍🏻

Very poor service. Staff can't count to 100, let alone prepare food quickly. 0/5 in all categories—simply terrible.

I don't understand the negative reviews; everything was great for me. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was also good. All in all, 5 stars.

I ordered a simple breakfast menu early in the morning. There were only three other customers in the store, yet the staff seemed overwhelmed and annoyed with my order. Instead of apologizing, they offered me an ice cream. The service was disappointing: no apology, no explanation. The system said my order was ready for pickup, but I actually received it 12 minutes later. Overall, a very poor impression.

Endless waiting times and you have to check everything, often there are wrong things.

The food was delicious and served warm. Everything tasted good, and we were completely satisfied. The service was friendly and attentive. The only minor negative: Unfortunately, there were a few flies on the food, which bothered us a bit. Otherwise, everything was great; we'd be happy to come back.

There was simply too much sauce on the burgers. I didn't order any extra, but the sauce just dribbled out of the Big Tasty. The salad was also on the side, not on top. Otherwise, it was okay. The tables and benches were very dirty and sticky. We had to clean them ourselves.

1. We ordered table service. We had to pick it up ourselves. 2. Our order included a McDouble Chili Cheese. We got a chicken burger. 3. The cappuccino and latte macchiato were indistinguishable by taste. The sweetener we ordered wasn't included either. 4. The apple turnover was lukewarm. 5. The men's restroom was dirty. One star for the ice cream and one because the tables were clean.

What's that about? The wrap costs €4 and is more than half empty. The staff aren't exactly friendly but €4 for that is a rip-off. They look good in other places. That was my last time here. The only good thing is the look of the shop, only because of the renovation. Now I understand why nothing happens here. It's embarrassing. McDonald's is just embarrassing. By the way, the kakow only tastes of water and even that costs around €3.50 for normal. How can the shop still be there and why are there no negative stars? As you can see from the photo, there's hardly any color and the foam looks more like bath foam than milk. They probably use as little milk as possible.

Food OK. Staff OK. Too many noisy children.

I was there today, it was full, there was an employee there who was really thin and had blonde hair in two braids. This lady simply pushed me away, it wasn't a jostling, she literally shoved me. When I wanted to speak to her about it, she cheekily told me to wait. When she came back, she just walked past me, looked at me stupidly and just carried on walking. Then I wanted to speak to her about it a second time when we were at the checkout and she just ignored me.

Newly renovated and totally uncomfortable. A real cheap cafeteria vibe. They could definitely have done better, McDonald's! Definitely not a place to linger.

I ordered once via Lieferando. Half of it was missing. No one was available by phone. So I had to drive there myself. Today, now that the reviews are better, I ordered again via UBER EATS. This time, NOTHING from our order arrived. The correct receipt was attached to the sealed bag, but the contents were completely wrong. As expected, no one was available by phone. Photos were sent to UBER as evidence, and luckily, I'm getting my money back. Still annoying, because we don't like anything in the bag. So it's going in the trash, and we're left with nothing but stress. Thank you for nothing. Never again.

Smart menu, delicious, crispy fries, cold Coke, so everything was fine! Friendly, attentive staff. Unfortunately, the table was sticky. Otherwise, the branch is new and attractively designed. Plenty of parking.

Great quick service and very clean

Newly rebuilt, the services are available quickly.

Forgot the burger, points gone, simply outrageous

Food came after 20 minutes for coffee sugar was missing after I asked for sugar the woman only gave sugar but nothing to stir all the workers are overwhelmed checkout kitchen everywhere catastrophe in this shop

Pleasant branch with friendly staff.

Very good service and very juicy burgers with lots of sauce

Best store, best employees 100% satisfied

Always unnecessarily long waiting times just for the food to be cold and when it comes to fries you always get a small/medium one instead of a large one in the packaging of a large frie and something is almost always forgotten when you take it away. I really don't want to badmouth this shop, but it can't be that way. Especially for the prices you pay these days. There are perhaps only 2-3 competent employees in the entire restaurant.

McDrive: Incompetent employees, hardly understand and speak German. Forgot half of the order. Inside the MCD/service: Said that the glasses were not part of the menu (which was not the case, proof: receipt), avoided going to the warehouse to get the glasses because there were apparently no more glasses of the desired color (that wasn't the case either, there were still enough glasses available), reluctantly went to the warehouse after being asked to talk to the manager. Afterwards, he forgot the second glass and was annoyed when he asked me again about the second missing glass. Service as always very unfriendly and rude. Food is cold as always and the ice is given out with the drinks first at the drive in, so after a 2 minute drive and a 20 minute delay due to forgotten glasses, the ice melted.

NEVER salt fries. WAY TOO LITTLE caramel sauce!!!!!!!!! Please change thanks

Burger specifically ordered without cheese and mayo. Get a burger with cheese and mayo. not sure if ignorance or stupidity.

Very tasty but after 1 hour I'm hungry again...🤣 The children are happy about the Happy Meal and I eat the fries 🍟

We ordered 3 Happy Meals to be delivered, with gifts, and the gift wasn't included in all three. After calling them, they said we should pick up the gifts ourselves, there was no car available, but I ordered kixht for delivery. And then they hung up. My son was super sad.

Ambience, well MC. The food is the same as always, the service doesn't notice anything and they are just busy with themselves or fooling around and accept their own mistakes and the customer has to argue with these employees.

I ordered two small menus with my girlfriend. After 20 minutes I see that one of the employees has simply deleted a few numbers, including my number, from the waiting list (preparation/collection). After a few minutes I go to the front to ask him about my order. He then said I should give him my piece of paper so he can do it. After 30 minutes I went to the front to ask again... this time he claimed that he had already given me the order. He then said that several times. When I said no, he said I should just discuss it with his manager. The manager then said that it was currently being prepared. Another 30 minutes and 3 questions later, tons of orders went out except ours. The manager always said that my order was being prepared. After waiting for over an hour, another employee finally managed to get everything ready. I wouldn't be surprised if, after asking about all this, the first employee spit on my burger. After just an hour I ran out of patience. I just find it incredibly disrespectful, especially as a manager, to make a customer wait so long. There was also a man in front of us who also had to wait an hour. I don't expect great service, but having to wait so long and constantly hear that it's being done while 100 other orders are being completed I find it a bit annoying.

The food is McDonald's and, as usual, barely warm. If you go to mekkes you know that. But be careful. Apparently only Waldorf school dropouts work here. We ordered separately and a good 1/3 of each order was missing from both orders. Things were missing again when ordering the ice cream. If that happens once, OK, if you place multiple orders I assume deliberate deception. I don't eat here anymore.

ordered 4 things for around €19 in the drive on April 6, 2025 around 7:40 p.m. When I got home I discovered that the double cheeseburger was missing. The branch could not be reached by phone and was pushed away. Accidental or intentional to optimize profits?

Bad service, I ordered via the app, 20 minutes later I was there. After 30 minutes of waiting, I received nothing and the order was not received. Should wait for boss to come, didn't come. Wasted almost an hour of my life, had poor service and went home hungry Not recommended, go somewhere else and save money and time

Waited 40 minutes for my food... Then with maggots in the burger... Extreme caution is required

I always go there at night after my vacation. They could clean the tables more often after they've renovated. I was there as a customer at night on September 24 and March 25.

Communication doesn't always work properly on the McDrive. Often the order is incomplete or recorded incorrectly

Burger only lukewarm. In terms of taste, yes. It was another attempt after a long time with the big M. Mmmmmmh it will be a long time before another attempt is made. Unfortunately, the quality is getting closer and closer to the Burger King.... 🙁

Stop at McDonalds when you order something to take away, always check to make sure everything is there. Something is often forgotten. Otherwise okay.

Unfortunately the food was cold. Nothing going on in the mcd. Sad

Smaller portions. Mc will soon only be suitable for children. The adults no longer get enough of it

No access for dogs. Unfortunately I have to downgrade it. We were allowed to eat outside “with ropes”.

Wat slecht! We waren met 15 personen,en er waren ongeveer 7 bestellingen niet compleet of met verkeerde ingrediënten. Het personeel in de keuken schreeuwde tegen elkaar, de dame die de bestelling bracht zei helemaal niets, leek geen Duits te begrijpen en keek allen maar raar. Verkeerde saus op de burgers. Helemaal geen burgers. Geen frietjes erbij enz. Toen wij binnenkwamen was het niet zo druk en we moesten al voor een McDonalds ongewoon lang wachten. Na ons werd het druk en begonnen er ook klanten te schreeuwen dat ze zo lang moesten wachten. Nee, echt geen aanrader om even te stoppen na een lange reis.

Very nicely remodeled, it looks perfect👍💕

Mid. The one employee was correct yaw. But the rest was ass.

When ordering takeaway, always check carefully. I often forgot something and only noticed it when I got home. The bags are very confusing. It's my mistake so I'm avoiding it now.

Today's Sunday (February 23, 2025), waiting time at the checkout: 20 minutes! Waiting time for my food to arrive: 15 minutes! I sometimes received my order earlier than customers who were already waiting for their order when I arrived. Are we still talking about fast food at this branch? Shift manager very unfriendly towards customers.

We ordered 2 McSundaes and received a cup that was only half full. Super annoying and frustrating with the prices these days. Not recommended!

Got the wrong citizen, ordered 3 large fries but didn't get a single one. Unfortunately, I only noticed it at home. Food tastes rotten and my girlfriend vomits from it. The staff doesn't speak German and is rude. Inside, the seats and tables are all always dirty

Worst McDonald's I've ever been to Food was cold and you didn't get what you ordered! Unbelievable

Way too crowded and the staff way too slow

Burger sind ok... Pommes meist nicht so gut...

It's a disgrace. The service rude and unfriendly. The burgers cold and slapped together. This branch is simply the absolute worst. Even the branches on the highways are better and more customer-oriented.

Only recommended to a limited extent, the toilets were not clean... The food was ok.

Very unfriendly employee, the big one at the counter. Been there twice and was unfriendly twice. Grabbed ice cream with hands. Very unclean

Unfriendly staff, burgers cold. Thanks for the straw!

Here in Gremberghoven you have to expect an increased waiting time at the drive-in. The new system is miserable. Every vehicle had to drive into the parking bay after payment. The employees are slow, speak bad or hardly any German.

Dirty shop. First of all, they make you wait at the checkout for 15 minutes before you are even served and when I asked if they could help me with the app, they said no. never again!!! Worst service I've experienced so far

sauber und modern eingerichtet nach dem neuen Bedienkonzept

The employees speak German very poorly and it has nothing to do with fast food. I've been standing in the MC drive for 20 minutes without saying a word

Hello... placed an order at McDonalds... it was delivered... well that doesn't sound right... fries were ice cold, barely fried... fish was just swimming... nothing was warm. .. . And there you have to pay for such crappy food? You can do better or provide better service... I'll go with it... Life is expensive enough... so either do it right... or go out of business

According to the internet, it's open until 3 a.m., but the employee rejects customers at 2:40 a.m. on January 6th

We had ordered beforehand and were greeted warmly. It took forever until we received our order and the employee didn't understand German. Unfortunately there was no food again

I went to this branch this afternoon and ordered from the machine and paid there too. Then I went to pick it up, my food was still on the “in preparation” list. The (I think) branch manager suddenly deleted all the orders that were visible on the screen, so they were first set for pickup and then deleted immediately afterwards. Among other things, mine, which I noticed I was still waiting for. Luckily, a nice employee asked me if she could help me. I told her my suspicions and she immediately went looking for the old bong that the store manager had printed out. And actually found him and served me my food within 5 minutes. Praise goes out to the lovely helpful employee, she understood how to help in a customer-oriented manner Corrected mistakes made by others. Nevertheless, you would have to discuss the whole concept again with the other colleague,

Overall the branch was fine. The food was up to typical McDonald’s standards, but the wait was a little longer than expected. Cleanliness could be improved, especially in the seating area. Friendly staff but service was average. Solid, but room for improvement.

Ordered online, stated delivery time 30 minutes. After an hour of waiting, it's still 50 minutes. The slowest fast food restaurant I've experienced

Mc Drive doesn't work at all here, if you want to drive Mc Drive here, you should expect to wait 1 hour

Ordered twice and something was missing from the bag twice. Unacceptable given the prices. Nobody sees me at this McDonalds anymore

Worst Mc's ever. We waited 25 minutes for 2 BicMäc menus, a double cheeseburger and fries. I had to change the double cheeseburger because it was cold and hard. Better go to someone else, the staff is simply incompetent!!!

The toilet is disgusting, I waited 10 minutes for a smart menu! Unfortunately this is unfortunate :((

I have to say that this McDonald's has developed a lot. The employees were very friendly, the burgers and fries were fresh and still really hot. Store seemed very clean and inviting. Drive-thru wasn't crowded either and orders seemed to be processed quickly.

Always been very good here. Great renovation, all employees sick, it felt like 5'C for you. Maybe ok in summer but not in winter

Only open until 2 a.m. instead of 3 a.m.

I don't know why 1 citizen worth 8 euros should cost 15 euros after delivery and it takes so long to cook a menu. Then you call them and ask when the delivery will go out, of course no one answers the phone, either overwhelmed or no one is there. Well I think the thing will no longer be warm and will not be edible if it ever gets here.

I ordered 20 plant nuggets and got chicken nuggets, which I only realized after the first bite. Then I got new 20 plant nuggets, three of which were meat nuggets. You can't rely on getting vegetarian products when you order them. Really outrageous!

Never again will I always feel sick after eating,

Short and sweet. Never seen such a dirty place. From the toilet to the ambience. Super dirty and disgusting.🤮🤮

I was at this McDonald’s branch before the renovation. The service was very slow and poor. After the renovation, I wanted to try it again. I wanted to pay at the checkout and waited for 5 minutes, but no one came. The employees walked around and didn't pay any attention to me. When I called someone, I had to wait again. The boss shouted at his employees and did nothing about the queue. The service is still very bad!

Slow, loud, food cold 5 years later: Unchanged!!!

There are two ordering areas at the drive in. However, the order is not followed. No real time gain. Great idea but poorly implemented

What a failure. Old burger, lukewarm, unmotivated employee. Now it's clear to me how the price of the Mc Smart menus comes about :) I don't need it anymore.
