McDonald's in Karlsruhe

They are definitely slow during peaks but they do try a lot to keep such a big store clean with constant foot traffic. Would definitely estimate an extra 15 mins for a takeaway order unless it's a dead time. They don't have working toilets. The seating options are decent. Inside the station superstructure. Don't need to wander out into the element if you're trying to find a cheap fix. Loads of other options if quality and health are on your mind.

Food OK. the store itself is an imposition. Even if Mc. Donalds has given up in Germany, a minimum standard would be desirable. The store is not cleaned.

Waited over 20 minutes for my food... not that bad... but then: fries cold, burger cold, all the sauces forgotten I've had bad experiences several times but today was the final straw... never experienced anything like it

A real shirthole!! The friendliness leaves a lot to be desired and there are no toilets on site. But what is much worse is that the homeless are increasingly staying there. Which isn't a bad thing at first, everyone needs warmth, especially in winter. If they then take off their shoes and smell everything, then it's too much. I'm there often and observe this often. Every now and then the police intervene. It's not nice when your meal is spoiled by a pungent smell.

The food was disgusting, the order was incorrect, I waited 23 minutes to order and there was very little traffic.

Service almost in every 🍟 and apparently checks whether it is still warm disgusting.

Waiting time for a coffee was over 20 minutes even though the whole kitchen was full of employees. Most of them just chatted. In the end, no coffee and no money. Thanks for nothing.

One of the few McDonalds where you can get vegetarian food quite quickly.

Waited over 1 hour for our food. A cancellation was rejected. Too bad!

Mc Café not occupied, unfriendly employees. Not very helpful. Really rude. No smile.

Please don't go there, I'm serious. I waited over an hour for my food and no one was even remotely understanding. When I wanted to ask for my money back, they just said: “There is no money back here.” After 1.5 hours, my food finally arrived - and I thought the drama was over now. Unfortunately I thought wrong. I had ordered: A McPlant with no sandwich sauce and no cheese McPlant nuggets One Sprite (0.4 liters) Instead I got: A McPlant that only consisted of lettuce and patty (the other ingredients were simply left out) Regular Chicken McNuggets (instead of the plant-based McPlant Nuggets) A sprite that was only half full As if that wasn't bad enough, there was something slimy on my burger. To be honest, I don't even want to know what that was. That was really a disaster - wrong food, no understanding and unappetizing to boot. Never again!

Absolutely chaotic. I waited 25 minutes for 2 Chickenburger. Unbelievable. Staff is overworked, place is packed. This place needs to expand or close.

I don't like the atmosphere at all. Despite there being few guests, there was a long wait for food. Food tastes like every Megges

Way too slow for a McDonalds in a central station.

If you want to order here, you have to wait three or four hours for someone to give you the order, but the order is going to be very difficult here at McDonald's, you better not go, miss the train home, someone will take your order

In my opinion it has nothing to do with fast food. I would say it's quicker anywhere else at the station. And today there was a lot of staff there, but the coordination was apparently poor. I left the store without eating because I didn't expect to wait in line so long before my train left. Consider it a small donation to optimize processes.

I had ordered breakfast at my seat around 10:20. After waiting for a while, I was surprised that nothing came. So I checked my order again and found that I had specified table 53 instead of table 35. So I move forward. The ladies were very friendly and saved the food. Since the coffee was already cold, I even got a new one. Thank you, you are the best!

I ordered a tea at the ordering machine and paid for it. When we picked it up we were told that they could no longer serve hot drinks because the hot water preparation was already turned off. No money returns!!! Totally annoying!!! Never again!!

No toilets… impossible to wash your hands! Very dirty, bad experience

An absolutely bad McDonald's. Food is cold. Employees are very listless. And a burger or other things have been forgotten several times.

This place was absolutely disgusting. These people are waiting at the train station and the workers think it’s funny to chit chat while people are waiting 10-15 Minuten for 1 Singular item. The place smelled like pee and was overall really dirty. The workers ignored us completely while we tried paying and kept laughing (mind you that they looked at us for about 5 times and just chose to ignore us. Don’t go here!!

I ordered food on site today and my ICE left 30 minutes after ordering. Unfortunately you didn't manage to provide my food within 25 minutes. According to his statement, your employee at the counter was alone, and after I asked about it, after about 15 minutes of waiting, he had 40+ orders and couldn't keep up. Your cash register was not occupied so a complaint was not possible. Unfortunately a very disappointing visit to a fast food restaurant. Edit: I complained via email and this was very friendly.

Sunday 5:45 p.m The store is packed and the organization behind the counter is completely overwhelmed. But it's also sooo surprising that there are so many people there at this time. And the display monitors are broken too. Basically an impudence towards the customers. 🤬

The service is awful. We ordered for 2 and it was for take away. But your server failed to read it so she prepared it for dine it. When i told her, she then just just gave me a small bag paper bag for all the orders that it hardly fit for my orders. She's the lady around her 30s with painted eyebrows.

Worst experience ever, no own toilets?! Waiting times are so long, even any specialist is quicker!!!

Waited over 20 minutes for food. The food was cold and almost inedible, and the tables were very dirty. Will avoid the store in the future.

The restaurant is apparently not prepared for larger crowds. But things should be quick, especially in a train station branch. We waited for over 20 minutes and therefore missed our train. If you're in a hurry and love risk, you've come to the right place 😉

I waited 50 minutes and did not receive the order of pidorasis

The employees are in a really bad mood and don't feel like working. I order something with chicken burgers and they give me cheeseburgers. The cashier stares at me strangely and doesn't even talk. My burger arrived smashed and wet. -28288292929229292929 Aura. If it were possible I would give 0 stars

Stopped by this morning for a snack and coffee. There were up to 10 visitors in the entire establishment. Having placed the order, I went to the cashier with the receipt to pay in cash, the payment was 12.32 euros. The cashier (she also collects orders, makes coffee, issues orders) seeing my money, and this is a 10 euro bill, 1 euro coin, 50 cents × 2 pcs., 10 cents, 5 cents, the rest are 2 and 1 cent, asks me strange question: “Where did you come from? From Ukraine? All Ukrainians only give coins...” I didn’t even know how to respond to such rudeness, but I just smiled sweetly at her. Next was the wait for our order, which was chaotic, our coffee had already been ready for about 6 minutes, and the roll and burger had not yet begun to cook. By the way! In the kitchen, everyone worked without gloves; they handled absolutely everything with their bare hands. And the icing on the cake was the “spectacle” when one of the employees, wearing shoes, climbed onto the table to wipe the lampshades. So, we had cold coffee and a completely tasteless breakfast. The child ordered a muffin and cheesecake separately from us. They gave out what they had leftovers in stock: a weathered cheesecake and a muffin “As it is!” Don't set foot there again.

Terribly long wait. They give out orders out of order, some wait a minute, others wait half an hour. Service 0 stars!

If you're in a hurry, it's better not to go here. On the other hand, if you like fries without salt, it may be worth the wait!

More expensive than anywhere else and quality Poor....

No toilets available if you go through the entire station entrance and pay for it even though there are more than 200 seats here and the store has 50 square meters or more. In terms of taste, well what can you say artificial, lukewarm and cozy fast food

Man waits 40 minutes to have two cheeseburgers

Report to eat! table service is useless! After waiting for half an hour, no one came. When I asked the staff, they excused themselves because they had too many orders and still had to wait. In fact, they just forgot to do it👍

Simply a disgrace!! I often pass through here and every time paid extras are missing or plant based are given instead of chicken nuggets. Today again at 2 Filet-o-Fish, extras were not added and instead of 3 apple turnovers there were 3 chocolate turnovers which would expire on the same day. Unfortunately it was too late for me to complain because I had to rush to the train due to a wait of 20-30 minutes and unfortunately I only started eating there when it left. In addition, the screens showing the status of the order have probably been broken for half a year, some of the tables look like crap and as if they had never been wiped down. By far the worst branch I have ever visited. I sent a complaint via email and am still waiting for a response.

Today I made an order (1 apple turnover). I have question: why did they give me a chocolate bag? more than 13 minutes? and only after contacting the employees? The employee also took my check. For what?

I probably waited 10 to 20 minutes until someone came to the checkout to collect my mobile order. The employees had transported the garbage through the kitchen instead of through the side entrance, which is not hygienic to carry garbage through the kitchen. Washed your hands? He was back too quickly to wash his hands.

The slowest Mc Donald’s I have seen in my life. unbelievable! Took them 25 min for a burger. At a train station! Worst experience

On the train ride home I still had an hour to spare and wanted to grab something quick to eat at McDonald's Karlsruhe Hbf. The checkout was actually very busy and I had already prepared my order via the app. The ordering process went accordingly quickly. I sat at a table with my number and waited for my order. At this point I still had about 50 minutes until my train. After 20 minutes of waiting, I started to get a little restless. After another 10 minutes I went to the pickup counter and asked for my order. This was still not being processed. I then asked the employee to get my order ready for take away as I have to get to the train. He took my receipt and promised to get the order ready straight away. After another 10 minutes still no response. I spoke to the employee again and asked for my order. Only then did he start processing my order, which didn't even take a minute. I packed everything and made it to the train almost at the last second. On the train I discovered that instead of a double royal cheese there was a chicken burger, no ketchup for the fries, Diet Coke with ice instead of without ice, and no napkins at all. Thank you McDonald's.

Vegetarian nuggets ordered and received with a green dot. In the box were the chicken nuggets with meat in them. Unfortunately we had already eaten it before we noticed it. Meat lover or not - anyone who sells vegetarian food must also deliver vegetarian food, everything else is just disgusting.

Never go to the mcdoof at the main station again, you'd better confront your manager with the picture or your district manager who will tear your head off

Eating fish burgers around completely dried out and very brown and getting smaller and smaller, rubbery fries, we have never eaten anything so horrible. Attention, no toilet, never experienced anything like this, tables and bench sticky, even a traveling guest has the right to good food

By far, the worst McDonald’s experience I’ve ever had. Ordered the Royale (quarter pounder) or whatever it’s called, and a McPlant with fries and a drink. They completely forgot to put the quarter pounder in there, which I did not realize until I got to the train, then I opened my McPlant and it looked like someone aggressively squirted the condiment bottles on top of it… also, the fries were unbearably salty.

unbelievably slow and unfriendly.

I've never eaten such a bad Big Mac, the patty was already cold, as was the cheese, it didn't go bad. And the branch is just dirty. And the price is really awesome.

The staff was extremely overwhelmed. Several orders were simply thrown away after a short time if no one picked them up. The order screen didn't work, so a lot of people waited there, some with very old numbers. After 20 minutes of waiting for 20 plant nuggets, I complained because our train was leaving soon, then they quickly remedied things, but some of the nuggets were clearly not vegetarian! The entire visit was straight from hell.

I waited half an hour for a package of 20 plant nuggets. Pure disaster. In the end, three of the plant nuggets were also chicken nuggets. Impudence!

Smelly condition , wrong order and my girlfriend would be 25 cents!!!!!.

The employee didn't give enough change and, as the overall situation was interpreted, it was with the utmost intention

Was there for the first time now. I placed my order at the machine on site and redeemed it with a coupon, which means I would actually have had to pay €9.99 for the order. Went to the checkout to pay and gave the lady a €20 note and she took it. I asked for change but she denied it and said I wouldn't get any change. I don't know where she learned math but she can't master it. You are simply deducted here. Then it's rude when you ask about it. While I was eating she simply put the wrong thing in me. Then I just sat down and ate there. What a disgrace. No recommendation, I'd rather go somewhere else.

I ordered a Sunday with chocolate sauce. Unfortunately the ice was no longer good. Tasted like old milk. When I made the complaint, I asked that the employee try the ice cream himself. He said he had already tried the ice cream and it was good. My opinion: definitely not today. But I got the money back. Conclusion: never again.

The McDonald's restaurant in Karlsruhe at the main train station really values ​​customer service, you have to give them that. In the photo, for example, one of the many sockets for charging cell phones and laptops. Imagine standing in front of one and not being sure whether it is a socket or not - with the practical signage there are no longer any doubts. The world is saved!

Was my favorite McDonald's so far - but since the renovation it's just chaotic! 2 out of 3 times my order was completely forgotten - despite asking after 45 minutes. Nobody knew what was going on with my order (it was never shown). I then returned the receipt with the order ID and had my money paid out. The one time I got food it took well over 30 minutes. although there was very little going on. I have the feeling that they can't handle the new system at all. It was definitely my last visit there - in contrast to previous times, the atmosphere has been zero since the renovation and the tables are also dirty. I'd rather go to Ettlingen, everything there has always been great!

Everything was great. However, the feedback voucher cannot be redeemed. You're told it can't be done. No attempts to serve customers well. You are sent away. Next time I'll go to another fast food chain.

Goods good and ambience okay. What deserves special mention, however, is the extremely talented, friendly and therefore valuable employee who served us this Sunday morning!

Located in lucrative bahnhof area, they did not even bother to install order display. Received my coffee (far not the best) without cap though ordered it ‘to go’ and train was leaving in 2 minutes. Badly trained service.

Never again!!!! If I could I would give minus stars😡😤 I bought a drink, cheese nugets and a burger. The one completely incompetent saleswoman at the checkout only passed on the drink and the nuggets. But I also paid for the burger. When my order was called for pickup I only received the nuggets and the drink. Just as I was checking the order for completeness, the saleswoman threw away my receipt. I noticed the burger was missing. When I asked the saleswoman to look again at what my order said, she simply said, “No, you didn’t order a burger.” I will never enter this restaurant again. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to write out everything I think about this McDonald here... But I'm just angry about this store.

Was here for the second time today and massively disappointed for the second time. The employees are apparently not able to type out the order placed at the terminal. (In fact, it was grossly incorrect that instead of 9mc nuggets there was a bic mac and instead of a pomes there was an mc flurry) When I noticed when I called up my number that my order had been typed incorrectly, all that came was a “there’s nothing I can do” The last time the staff was similarly incompetent because several employees were able to answer me whether the reusable cups could also be returned to this branch.

Bad service. They do not listen to you or maybe they do not even care to listen.

I ordered at the terminal, with table service at 3:34:24 p.m. at 4:00 p.m. still nothing had been brought to the table! I asked the lady who brought the orders to the tables who had ordered after me at an infinitely slow pace where my order was. She told me to wait and didn't come back! When I checked out no one wanted to answer me. I can screw myself! What a juice shop! People are being robbed here!

Over 20min. (fast food?) waited. And then the food was cold too. I was able to throw away the fries. The order was probably overlooked. It's a shame, I'm not used to MC like that.

Very slow service, parts of the order are often cold, napkins are almost always missing from the bag. Order display out of order. The air conditioning doesn't work either, I feel sorry for the employees who have to endure these temperatures over the long term.

Good McDonald's, tasty, quick and open late 👍

This has nothing to do with fast food. 1 burger and 9 chicken mc nuggets in the menu waiting time almost 40 minutes. Unfriendly staff who could have their shoes resoled while they were working. It's better not to come here if you have to catch a connecting train.

Employees are sweating like crazy because the boss doesn't turn on the air conditioning, it's unbearably warm here and everyone's running out of steam. Great place to work. Growth above all else.

I think meat cant be dry and the expo guy should be more polite, i know it was like midnight, but guys common, it cannot be like this.

Unfortunately there are hardly any meat alternatives, BK is better

For 20 pieces of chicken nuggets you waited 20 minutes and missed the train 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Order system, but no display, calling out the numbers is difficult to understand when there is a large backlog and a long queue. What was really bad was that my order was in two small bags and the drinks were put out without a bag or holder, and there wasn't a bag to carry even when I asked. I had taken a rough look into the bags, but it wasn't until I got to the hotel that I realized that 2x large fries were simply MISSING, the mayonnaise was there, so I didn't notice it straight away. Instead of 4x sauce for the 25 nuggets, there was 3x mayonnaise for the missing fries and only 2x sauce for nuggets. This is bad, bad work at best, or is it systematic? Employees at the checkout (shift manager?) very unfriendly and condescending. One of McD's worst franchises in my opinion. Purchase date: 8/20/24 6:02 p.m

While waiting 15 minutes for my food, I observed that every single time the employee went to get new napkins or paper for the tray, he would put his hand in his mouth to get a better grip. This is extremely unhygienic and dangerous.

Aggressive and arrogant employees. Got cold Pimmes and was told they had just been made fresh. Burger soggy. You really had to be afraid that the employee would strike.

Just had breakfast here. it was almost empty, only two more orders. For 2 mcmuffins wait 15 minutes. The offer is poor, more than half is not available, even if it was on the order board. No caramel sauce, no Fanta, no drinks containing milk. There were black crumbs in the cup full of Sprite

Today, August 12th, I was a guest at the Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof branch with my girlfriend. The first thing we were allowed to do was wait too long even though there was nothing going on and the second thing that shouldn't be is that we only get cheeseburgers with pickles that weren't really wrinkly Sauce or something else on it, just bread, meat and cucumber, a coke that tastes like water and burgers that were missing, so I've never seen such service and hospitality in any store I've visited so far. I don't want to seem unfriendly or anything like that, but you should change something. I find this disrespectful for a fast food chain or fast food joint

Really rude staff. Took more than 15 minutes to get two coffees. When I asked to cancel the order before they started to make my drink , they did not do it. And at last, I got my coffees late from a lady who did not even look at me when serving. Never again.

The third time in 4 weeks there is no ice cream, either the machine is broken or sold out. That can't be right, it's summer!

Ice machine broken in very hot weather. Apparently employees are just too lazy.

Extremely unfriendly staff. The order was not complete and the quality was poor.

Don't understand the bad reviews. I've been here several times when passing through and have always been very satisfied. Food warm and tasty, fast service, clean tables, prices ok. I paid 10.99 for the menu with coupons and got full. Oh and the Popcorn Cola is really wild! Plant based nuggets better than the originals. Everything met my expectations. The only “negative” thing here: addictive potential. :D

We had to wait 20 minutes for a drink, hamburger and 6 nuggets. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. But there was also the rather unfriendly gentleman behind the counter.

One of the worst restaurants ever Unfriendly staff, fries and burgers cold. Cola warm without ice, at these temperatures. Long wait for the food. Any number of staff but no one is working. You can tell that a lot of customers only come through the train station once

absolutely disrespectful employees and simply unfriendly. Had a half-eaten burger which they only wanted to replace after several discussions. Afterwards the same employee was extremely unfriendly. I then ordered a donut for 1.99€ and paid with 2€. I didn't receive my exact change and when I asked they said 1ct wouldn't arrive until tomorrow. That doesn't work at all and is below the belt. Flying everywhere and it is extremely disgusting. Never again!

Complete disaster. Overwhelmed employees, poor quality, unfriendly.

All workers work with bare hands and without gloves, my friend and I mixed up our order and didn't get sugar, also they gave us cappuccino while we ordered tea.

The rudest McDonald's restaurant I've ever been to. No hello, no smile, no nice word for the guest. Just disorganized. Orders take a very long time. Everyone only works in their own area and no one supports their colleagues when the need arises to satisfy guests. Everyone looks extremely annoyed or even says so.... Really a shame. Things used to be different

Ordered without bacon and received with bacon!!! Danger !

This is supposed to be a double royal cheese. For €6.99.

Unfortunately there are no bathrooms or to wash your hands. One girl wanted to go to the bathroom and there is none available. The staff are not friendly

Friendly staff, comfortable seating, outlets to charge your phone and food as good as you'd expect from McDonald's. :)

This 1 star is too much for this cafe

This is what the inside of a cheeseburger looks like at this location.

This is horror and not a restaurant.

If you order plant based nuggets as a vegetarian and are then given real nuggets. If you bite into it as a vegetarian, you'll be in for a nasty surprise. This is just an absolute disgrace! Added to this are the endless waiting times. At a train station where you don't have much time anyway, that's absurd. To the vegetarians/vegans, pay close attention and look closely at your food. Better go to another McDonalds. Worst McDonald's I've ever been to in Baden-Württemberg.

We had a longer stay at the station due to a delay. Mc Donals was normally full for a fast food restaurant. The order took 35 minutes to arrive, which gave us interesting observational insights into the operational processes. The team processes the orders (kitchen, service) in a completely chaotic manner. An unfriendly tone towards the guest when accepting the order and paying is a long-established and well-maintained practice. In particular, the older employee at the checkout, who has already achieved film fame (!) with the reviews here, makes the customers clearly feel that they are unwanted and shoots the bird with her incompetence. The customers seem to be rather annoying to her. Since Germany's European Championship game against Spain was just starting, the rush of customers could have been used for a "bomb" deal: "Perhaps you would also like to try our delicious offer... Now new...". The boss repeatedly intervened to bring order when the chaos became too great and employees were shouting at each other or standing around lazily or striving away from the workplace, simply leaving the waiting customers uninterested. The boss seemed intelligent, but also deeply resigned and probably didn't know what to do in this chaos team. But after finally 35 minutes we had enough of the spectacle and asked for the money for our milkshake, which had not been made available for collection. It then took another moment and we were able to leave. If you want to learn how to work inefficiently in the catering industry in a non-customer-oriented manner, even though you could work really well and achieve economic profit with a lot of personal fun and satisfaction, you have absolutely come to the right place! Welcome! And if the food still comes - bon appetit!

I bought 2 double chilli cheeses today and none of them had jalapenos on them. There was a lot going on but it's not good to forget both of them.

One of the worst branches ever! There's just nothing wrong here! Lots of crowds, certain clientele… My order was picked up unnoticed by other people (are there order numbers?) When I asked politely where my order was, they just said: “It's gone, not my problem.” The exact same thing happened to two people next to me, so it doesn't seem to be an isolated case. If such a problem is already known, you should pay more attention to the order number, right? Overall employees extremely arrogant and rude. Not only are they extremely incompetent, they also become very cheeky... After another order at my expense, the fries were extremely soggy, most of them not even cooked. Restaurant stinks, is very loud, no toilets in the restaurant.

Air conditioning doesn't work, it's too hot to die for! Toilets are closed, you have to run to the station toilet which is at the other end of the hall. A NOGO!!! Between the normal fries we ordered we had curly fries! What's that supposed to mean? Never again!

It's a generic McDonald's store.

Ordered chicken nuggets and took more than 1 hour to receive my food
