McDonald's in Emden

Ordering via the machine is as easy as in other branches. Cleanliness isn't exactly at the top of their priority list. For coffee (not to-go), they provided wooden stirrers instead of spoons. This is appropriate for paper cups, but not for cups. The food was brought to the table promptly and was hot. During peak hours, you might have to wait 12 minutes for your McFlurry, as the order list is processed in order. It used to be different, as while the person in front of you had their burger sizzling, their milkshake was made "on the side." If you order now, and the person in front of you is a large family, you have to wait until it's ready. Perhaps you should use the cash register for small items instead of the terminal. Again, on the subject of cleanliness. The restrooms smell like a highway restroom. Edit 2025: Nothing, absolutely nothing, has changed. changed...it felt even dirtier...there was uncleaned trash on the tables (yes, I know, that's the customer's responsibility...but...if they don't do it, who will?). All the tables in our row were beyond greasy...the waitresses didn't care, but instead slunk through the store...and walked past the trash on the tables/floor anyway. And when we arrived, there really wasn't much going on... No...honestly...it's not okay.

There's always a lot going on at a McDonald's, but you'll find it well furnished and a little better than others Only the parking lot is a bit tight.

We waited here for 10 minutes for a coffee and a coke even though there wasn't much going on. Staff seemed overwhelmed

Yesterday, April 3, 2025, we had dinner there. There was good stuff going on. A young man with black hair and a black beard in a yellow shirt brought the orders to the tables. Almost every order had something missing or wrong. We were also missing the nuggets. NO problem for us. The young man asked us as soon as we were served whether everything was there and brought the missing nuggets in 2 minutes. You have to say that he was alone and ran his feet flat and all of this with a friendliness that you don't even know anymore. Then it happened at the next table. He pours a drink directly onto a guest. After many apologies, he ran to the counter and got towels, then he slipped on the table and hit the tiles. Instead of throwing everything away and going away to take a quick breath or get a doctor, he asked me and my wife and the other guests if everything was OK with us. Craziness !!!!!!! This young man deserves a 5* rating alone. Employee of the month for me! He was very hard-working and friendly and put the guests' well-being above his own. Top. Thank you, strange young man.

Waited 10 minutes for a coke and a latte macchiato even though it was empty.

The worst thing I've ever experienced! Wait 20 minutes, everything is cold, didn't get salad, I don't want to write about the cleanliness of the toilets here, just the horror 🤮 And the staff is also unfriendly

Food was great Service well the gentleman at mcdrave had a bit of a hard time with the ordering task there were only 4 hamburgers without pickles and communication wasn't that good but everything was great

Food partially cold or not complete. Tables and floors very dirty. Some of the staff spoke little or no German.

That was the last time I spent money here today. 3 menus, a cheeseburger extra = €37. And that for a chip shop. That's almost 80 marks and then the food is cold. You lose your appetite and you don't get full.

We were there last night, the food was burnt and when we opened the burger the ketchup came out, everything was smeared! And the ladies should also learn to be friendly! Are by MC. Drive driven!

At dinner today all the sauces and the drink for the Lütte were missing. Even the napkins, even if that's not that important. It looked like my burger was just thrown in. It had completely leaked out and was lying in the box like a heap of invisible things. I had to do some tinkering first and I completely pissed myself off. When asked if our number had been called, they would just curtsy and walk away. After we waited almost 15 minutes even though there wasn't much going on visually. That's not possible with the amount of money we pay. You can expect friendliness and clean work even in a fast food restaurant.

Delivery was late and then the burgers were cold...the last time I ordered here. I am very disappointed with the store.

Food bad, service bad, atmosphere terrible. What can I say? It's just McDonalds, a love-hate relationship. Sometimes you need that, but actually the food there is terrible. Service is limited to the minimum of friendliness that is possible. And the beeping in the background makes every visit a horror. Nevertheless, we all go back again and again. We know what to expect, but it's still bad.

Unfortunately, I found out again today that despite there being only a few customers on site, the order had taken 35 minutes. Nobody had to wait, just us. Unfortunately very disorganized...

Conditionally, if the tables were clean. The crispy breading was soft and sticky with no taste.

Standard McDonald's. Clean and tidy.

had one chicken nugget too many.

Disgusting toilets, broken sinks and for the third time in a row we waited 45 minutes or longer for a Happy Meal that was missing something. Staff unfriendly and overwhelmed when this is pointed out

Very incompetent staff. The last three times something was always missing, even with a small order and few customers Really sad!!

Almost all displays are broken or slow for ordering

MC, like everywhere else, very friendly staff here

Service wasn't good, we waited almost an hour for our food

Always extremely long waiting times. Inside, the employees would rather chat than serve customers. The drive in is always a disaster. Here you generally wait at least 15 to 30 minutes in the evenings. Mc's is absolutely not worth a visit. I prefer to drive to Aurich, always friendly and fast.

Mediocre service - parts of the order are constantly missing. The milkshake is almost never available and the wait is unbearably long. Absolutely disappointing!

Ate on site, restaurant very dirty, tables are poorly wiped down, the floor, the walls even the sockets are dirty. Toilets, door locks are broken and everything is very dirty. Very disappointing on the last visit.

You can see that the shop is getting old again and you probably can't keep it clean anymore

The hygiene in this branch is more than bad. I'd rather wait for my food but have it clean! When I pointed out that this branch had a problem with cleanliness, the lady got rude! I'd rather go home hungry soon

Food is more cold than warm and the tables are dirty and the toilets are unreasonable. The expectations were fully met.

No stars from me!! Firstly the toilets are just dirty. Then there is the fact that you had to wait over 30 minutes for the food. The crowning achievement of all coronations is this on my fries hair was. 🤢 so much on the topic Cleanliness. How about wearing gloves. If you know your arm hair will fall out!!!🤢🤢🤢

McDonald's should never advertise delivery online if they can't!!!

Went there once to pick up breakfast, waited almost 30 minutes, the order hasn't been on the screen for a long time, you're just put off and given cold food Next time I was there in the evening, waited almost 45 minutes and got cold food again 🤝🏻 Employees annoyed when asking what was going on, no idea what happened but was never as unreliable as at the moment

The food is the same as in every maki restaurant, a bit far from the center, but always clean and friendly service.

Ordered via Liferando, according to the app delivery in 25-35 minutes. After more than 1 hour there was still no food. Unbelievable stuff like that! Never again…..

It is not cleaned properly. Tables always dirty.

Food as usual; You don't expect much anyway...Coffee from a paper cup, even though you drink on site and then the annoyed statement that you don't have any normal clean cups anymore...Cleanliness isn't exactly a priority either...If the hut is on fire, You might turn a blind eye, but even with few customers, the hygiene is sometimes catastrophic...

Unfortunately, zero stars are not possible. Once again disappointed, no “surprise” in the Happy Meal for the children. Food cold, 2 burgers were missing (again). One of the worst McDonald's in Germany.

This was the second time we were there, the waiting time was between 40/60 minutes. A disaster! Waiting time at Mc Drive over 30 minutes. Delivery home about 45 minutes and then the fries were cold and the Big Rösti was so bone dry and only a small dollop of sauce. The cleanliness in the store also leaves something to be desired.

Very friendly staff, a small thing went wrong with the table service, the nice customer service made it perfect again 👍

The food and the ambience itself are good as usual. The toilets defy description. Not flushed down, wet toilet paper everywhere, a toilet seat broken, soap empty...really not nice. Please manage it better🥰

As soon as I went into the dining room, I came across the fries that were lying on the floor. There was also a lot of paper and bags of chips lying around in the restaurant and no one made any effort to sweep the dining room. The tables didn't invite you to eat either. The toilets were a disaster. My wife was also horrified by how it looked and smelled in the ladies' room. The men's toilet was extremely smelly of urine. 2 basins broken and one of them full of urine. We will not enter this RESTAURANT again. I haven't seen something like that in a long time. A single catastrophe.

Toilets completely dirty, urinals clogged, sinks dirty and faucet loose. No soap, hand dryer broken, disinfectant dispenser empty. Place was also dirty, we were really speechless. They say cleanliness in the toilet says everything about the kitchen. Well thank you, this store will never be entered again, the health department would have to take a look, it's just disgusting🤮🤮

Bad: cold, wrong order, something was forgotten, too little and the food was delivered too late.

Forgot order. After asking, food was brought to the table and then only lukewarm. It took 45 minutes from order to delivery to the table

Früher war es schöner heute ist alles zu kompliziert und man wartet ewig auf das Essen und gehe darum nicht mehr hin

Ordered at McDrive, had to wait and only noticed when we got home that a burger was missing. Almost €10 spent for nothing!

Extremely dirty toilets and hair on my food

I wouldn't eat there, it's dirty from the toilets to the guest room and I went straight back out

Only orders are made to eat on site. The employees just stand around or walk haphazardly through the kitchen. If you want to take something with you, you can expect to have to make yourself comfortable for a while. A long while. I'm just waiting and bored.

When driving in you always have to check what you have ordered because 99% of the time something is missing. That's annoying.

Extremely prefer delivery service

Waiting for a fresh burger would be ok, but not for the sad and cold burger I got

Waiting times of over 40 minutes until you get your food.. Cleanliness is not a priority here either. The location is therefore not recommended.

Absolutely bad store. The app didn't work properly and didn't load the code. When I explained the situation, the employee claimed that he “supposedly” couldn’t apply the discount manually. When I asked why that wasn't possible, he just laughed. After I insisted on speaking to the store management, she came - and didn't say a single word! When I announced that I would complain, the “friendly” employee recommended that I call Munich and complain there. This is of course done. Even when I said that I would rate this accordingly here on Google, I only received a condescending “You are welcome to do that.” Conclusion: This was definitely the last time we visited this McDonald’s!

Recently there have been very long waiting times in Mc Drive and in the restaurant.

I've never experienced anything like that! As soon as you entered the store, there were already a lot of people waiting in line to pick up. We then ordered to eat there at the terminal and added table service. After waiting for 40 minutes, I went to an employee and asked where the food was. Was just put off with the statement “We’re just preparing it, just a moment.” After another 20 minutes of waiting, we also stood in front of the pick-up line as everyone else picked up their food there as no one was taking care of the table service. The same bag had been sitting on the counter for over half an hour, apparently belonging to the order of a woman who was also waiting in horror for table service. Understandably, she didn't want to accept the bag anymore because the food was already cold! We then had our money paid out and left the store. The cleanliness in this store is also a complete disaster. The toilets stink, the tables and floor are full of trash and dirt, the kitchen looks terrible (there is food and trash everywhere in the kitchen)... I will never enter this store again.

Ordered food online. Not much nuggets, fries, coke. After 25 minutes of waiting, still no food ready. We had the money returned. Observed that the finished food was left there for 10-15 minutes without being brought to the table. This food was certainly cold. Tried 4 hours later in drive. Waited here for over half an hour too. Fast food restaurant is something different. Very slacked off

The food didn't come completely, especially not a single sauce. Food was cold, very cold, the toys at the happy meal were even warmer than the food itself. And this isn't the first time this has happened!

Went to Mc Donald's today...and I was pretty disappointed because it was very dirty everywhere even though there was hardly anything going on and the order was wrong, the fries and nuggets were served cold...then I got a burger with extra bacon Ordered there was only one slice of bacon and not even on the burger. My partner's wrap was pretty wrong. He ordered one with chili sauce and there was chili only at the bottom of the wrap and on top there was mayonnaise or something...for that I would have paid more for it because I paid so much money for it expected ... was the last time we were at Mc Donalds in Emden ... people in the big city do it much better and they have more stress, oh well, the Mc chicken Classic was a joke, it was a child's burger I know it's much bigger...very sad...

Actually, all I need to do is write yuck. The food was delicious, but I wanted to leave straight away. The trash can at the entrance inside was so full that everything was already on the floor. Was put away after a while, unmotivated and annoyed. Floor dirty and sticky. Tables dirty, actually everything was dirty. I only stayed for the sake of my companion. The female waiter cannot be surpassed in terms of arrogance. So, I don't go to McDonald's in Emden anymore. The McDonald's in every big city is cleaner. Hopefully the kitchen is clean. The last time we were there it wasn't nearly as dirty. Ugh, Deibel.

So it was quite often that you had to wait far too long and then it was supposed to be called fast food. For the money I wasted, I got the citizens stuffed with salad and the citizens were allowed to do puzzles together all over the place in the packaging I think it's a shame considering the price and cleanliness we don't have to talk about it

I eat in this branch often. Today we got a BigTasty from the small menu to take away. Arrived home, opened the box and never seen a burger thrown together like this. The fries were amazing, it's a miracle I still have teeth... I would have understood if the store had been full, but it wasn't.

The waiting time is horrible, it takes far too long. The staff is hopelessly overwhelmed, especially when there is a lot going on. No sign of “fast food”, I’ve currently been sitting and waiting for half an hour since ordering - people who ordered fifteen minutes before me are currently getting their food. Luckily the child is playing outside with others, otherwise I would ask for the money back and go somewhere else...

Dirty. Chaotic. The food took so long that some of it was already cold again. The flurry was melted, I had it remade. I didn't check it again immediately and as a "punishment" I only got half an ice cream without the main ingredient. Overall it doesn't work at all.

So far everything was great, only long waiting times but they apologized. Great but you can't do more than work 😞.

The toilets very dirty. Staff overwhelmed and unfriendly. Thanks no!! Never again.

As a managing director, I would be completely ashamed that I had to be responsible for such order processing times.

The food is McDonalds. The toilets are, also typical of McDonald's, simply disgusting.

I am really disappointed with my experience at McDonald's in Emden. Yesterday I placed an order there that I wanted to take home. Unfortunately, both the Big Tasty Bacon and a small fries that I had added as a bonus were missing. Since the route to the restaurant is too far, I couldn't just drive back to sort out the problem. What is particularly annoying is that the staff seemed neither friendly nor helpful, but rather disinterested and in a bad mood. You shouldn't have such experiences with a brand like McDonald's. The fact that you don't even get what you ordered for your money is unacceptable. In addition, I have not yet received a response to my complaint. I expect a global franchise like McDonald's to at least address such issues in a timely manner. This was certainly my last visit to this restaurant and my family will also avoid McDonald's in the future. Conclusion: Poor service, lack of products and no customer orientation. Absolutely disappointing.

Nice staff and, apart from the fact that the fries were no longer warm, we've always had decent food

Ordered to take away, got it to eat there, burger instead of without cucumber as ordered came with cucumber

McDonald's just... Must be every now and then

Extremely crowded and loud but that's just how it is given its size!

We stopped at this Mc Donalds on the way to Norddeich, we ordered 5 coffees, one mc Flurry and one mc chicken classic. We had to wait 35 minutes before we even got anything. Okay it's full, people are working but then the order was wrong and we had to wait another 15 minutes for a god damn latte 🤬🤬🤬 Sorry but that's really too much!

Typical McDonald's. Service a bit slow.

Recommend. Tasty, quick. Good service. Thank you for the work of the staff.

Waiting over 30 minutes for a McCrispy and 6 nuggets is a lot, even for a Saturday evening, and to make matters worse, the food was cold. Employees obviously overwhelmed and/or poorly trained.

Everything ok, cleaner McDonalds than usual.

Ordered on site and waited half an hour for the food. Had to speak to the staff first. Before they got going.

Never again! I have never experienced such a full McDonalds with such overwhelmed employees. I was here on a Tuesday at 7pm. In McDrive the cars were lined up on the main street (15 cars in total). When I ordered inside, I was in 5th place and waited 40 minutes. Very nice employees but apparently the management is incompetent

A McDonald's like any other, the food is not the best and the service is the worst. But that's just how we know McDonald's. You can be happy if you get at least half of what you ordered after placing an order. Also far too expensive for the leftover meat that is sold to you in the form of a burger. By far the last place I would eat but still 2 stars because I know there are even more disgusting McDonald's restaurants. And yes, I don't think I need to say anything about the ice cream machine, everyone knows what I mean anyway.

War jetzt schon ganz oft abends zwischen neun und zehn da, und es wird immer gesagt das die Eis Maschine kaputt wäre. Finde das echt nicht schön

Many thanks to the great team! I was able to easily order a burger without bread and enjoy it gluten-free!

Great shop, everything is good!!!

They always have no milk shek. This has now happened 15 times within 3 months.

Bestellt Burger, Pommes und Cola zum Mitnehmen Wartezeit war OK aber ich betone mal, wir wohnen 5 !!! Autominuten von MC Donalds und es war alles bereits kalt. Schade

We have never waited as long for our food as we did in this fast food restaurant. After 30 minutes some cold food came to us. Incompetent staff who couldn't process customers as quickly as you would expect from a well-known restaurant. We are happy to forego further visits in the future. Thanks for nothing and next time we'll invest the 35 euros in another provider where everything we order is served and can be eaten warm!!!

It's unbelievable that you have to wait 2 hours for food, when the food came it was cold. The staff is simply overwhelmed. Change something...

A pure disaster, the store was very dirty.

Unfortunately, instead of the double cheeseburger we ordered, we only received cheeseburgers. Since we drove through McDrive, we couldn't complain on site.

I ordered two double cheeseburgers, but then only received 2 normal cheeseburgers in a double cheeseburger packaging

Fries lukewarm, chicken nuggets cold 🫣☹️☹️☹️

We left two weeks ago from our lovely holiday in Norddeich. On the way back we had breakfast in Emden. It was cruel. Again the nonsensical selection from the breakfast menu. 2 or 3 hamburgers would have been good. Ordered some kind of limp breakfast burger with chicken and choked it down. Previously waited half an hour for food in a fast food restaurant. But then the worst came. The coffee just tasted like washing-up broth. The worst coffee of my life. Just disgusting. It was definitely the last time we went to McDonald's at breakfast time. The points are just a gift. 0 would be appropriate.

Fries lukewarm and chicken nuggets cold. I don't want to start talking about the cleanliness 🤬🤬

I've been waiting for my food for 40 minutes and when I ask I'm told it will come straight away.

It takes so long to get your food! And the food was cold too

Stood in MC Drive for 25 minutes and that's not the first time, but today was the highlight of the waiting time.

Foreman insults the employees in front of the customers and also gossips about them behind their backs.

I think it's bad that all the tables are dirty at peak times. The floor looks bad too. And when you ask whether you can get a clean place, you get looked at stupidly!

The cleanliness almost spoils your appetite here. Neither the floor nor the tables are kept clean. Not even the toilets are kept clean. The waiting time is excessively long. So they should change things around here and take proper care of the store. It's sad what happened here.

Been in the McDrive for 30 minutes...extremely good process organization. McDonald's should probably take inspiration from the ditch-spinning McDonald's brothers
