McDonald's in Berlin

The second floor is always closed, even at rush hours! People can't find a single free space. Indian workers shout at customers like mentally challenged (special shout-out to this young "lady" on Sunday, 14.09.25, 11 am.). Always dirty as hell and full of stinky homeless. The toilet is broken for 3 years in a row!!! The worst in the whole Berlin. And yeah, this franchisee likes to remove bad reviews, even though he clearly can't keep up.

My visit there was absolutely miserable. It started with the long waits; by the time the food was ready, the McFlurry was already half-melted. The employees had also put the wrong ingredients in it; instead of Oreos, they had put Smatites in the McFlurry. But that wasn't all – instead of regular nuggets, they put the spicy ones in the box. The biggest insult, however, was the cleanliness there. Apparently, a drink had been spilled at our table, and no one cleaned it up. It looked like that everywhere else. Trash on the floor, ripped-up seats, etc. The restrooms weren't any better, but they still charged customers 50 cents to enter, which I find pretty cheeky! Okay, the employees may have been nice, but that was it. Update: After going back several times, everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, there are no restrooms anymore, but otherwise, everything is fine.

Every single time my partner and I have ordered food at this restaurant, half the food has been forgotten or mixed up. I'm extremely disappointed and wouldn't recommend anyone eat here after a stressful day, because aggression is inevitable. They also salt the fries as they see fit: sometimes none at all, sometimes a little, and sometimes so much that you'd think you were chewing on a salt rock.

Great service from the manager!

Since it was the only restaurant open in the area at that hour, I took advantage. I wasn't expecting much, but the moldy bun in the Big Tasty Bacon sandwich was a disaster. Here are photos and proof of purchase.

Honest pretty decent McDonald’s. The food was hot when it came out and the service was fast. They did forget to make our ice cream but when we asked they made it for us. There is plenty of space upstairs to sit. The bottom where you order can get very crowded though. There were a lot of people there and it was pretty busy.

Even if you can't expect much from this fast-food chain, this branch is still special. You walk in – it smells strongly of old fry grease. The fries are only half-filled. The burgers (Royal TS) are incredibly poorly prepared – they'd be better if they'd been slapped together. It's best not to sit at the tables, as they're smeared and greasy. Just really, really bad, sorry...

They don't have a toilet and it's dirty.

Fanta: I don't like carbonation. But it would be nice if it had at least had some at some point. Atmosphere: Not very busy. No wonder. Ice cream: It was good, but the wrong kind. Happy meal: Just the standard packaging. Disappointing. Service: Rather relaxed. Number sequence still difficult.

I DON'T BUY their fries no salt and they are completely dry Their Mcflurry is completely melted and they gave the wrong order wrong 2 times and didn't care at all

How come a place listed as a restaurant doesn't have restrooms for guests? It's a disaster. The manager sends people to the train station to relieve themselves. Where's the health and safety? I don't recommend it, it's a disaster. Never again.

The scoreboard has been broken for 2 months

Again, no shakes in stock at all, terrible smell.

The worst McDonald's ever visited. Can understand they have this open. Not even a toilet here. Really angry.

I ordered a McSmart Menu with two Cheeseburgers and a chicken burger with some extras. When I got home to eat, one burger was missing from the order, and the extras I payed for in my chicken burger were also missing.. This McDonald’s is a mess and the staff should organize better to avoid something like this.

35 degrees and the air conditioning doesn't work. Hellish heat.

Got the wrong takeaway order...unfortunately only noticed on the train.

I'M JUST WAITING FOR AN ICE CREAM FOR 2 HOURS💀😭

No trash can, no tray... When we were served, the fries were missing... This restaurant is a bit of a mess. I don't recommend it.

Dirty – there was paper all over the floor. The tables weren't wiped down and were sticky. The order pick-up display doesn't work. Table numbers for delivery aren't available. The staff only speaks English. People who don't speak English have a hard time. Napkins and straws aren't available. The order was only partially filled. The bacon I ordered and paid for wasn't there. I've never experienced such a poorly managed McDonald's.

Ordered a McCrispy Menu + a Spicy Chicken Burger for dine-in. I felt full after the McCrispy Menu, so I decided to take the Spicy Chicken Burger home for dinner. Later, I discovered it was actually a beef burger, and unfortunately, I don’t consume beef. Thankfully, I noticed before eating it, but it could’ve been worse if I hadn’t. I understand mistakes happen in a busy kitchen, but please be more mindful. Thanks.

We just wanted some fries with sauce, but got no sauce. we are inconsolable... instead we got this weird powder and a puking bag, whats going on? I don't understand:/

I'm very dissatisfied. My Coke was practically just ice cubes, the burgers were cold, and the fries were soggy. Furthermore, this restaurant doesn't even have a restroom. Even though there is one on the second floor, they don't let customers use it and refer them to the train station restroom. It's simply a disgrace... :-(

Quite the shady place especially at night. The burger I had was very small and it was a burger from a 11€ menu 😅😅😅 lots of seating opportunities which is good.

A real dump—I've been there 10 times in my life, and almost every time they forgot something. Is it that hard to pack this burger in a bag? Unbelievable!

Disappointing. Ordered a Happy Meal with Squishmallows, but when we got home, it contained the wrong toys and sauces. Fruit puree wasn't available, so they replaced it with juice – which was okay. But almost everything else was wrong. The kids were very disappointed. Be sure to check everything on-site if you're taking it home!

I was there on the night of July 26th to 27th around 1:00 AM to get some food. When I went to pick up my order, I said "thank you" to the employee. He replied "thank you" back, looked at me disgustedly, looked at my breasts, and said, quite disgustingly, "I love..." and continued to look at my breasts. I was quite shocked, so I took my bag of food and left quickly. The employee was short, a bit older, and of Tamil or Pakistani descent. I just want to say that I felt extremely uncomfortable and I don't know if something like that will still be allowed to happen in 2025. I didn't feel safe there!!!! I don't know what my review can achieve, but I hope no one else has to experience this again!!!!

A very disappointing experience. I was denied access to the restroom – on the grounds that there weren't any, even though the restaurant clearly had one. Even worse: one of the burgers I ordered and paid for was simply not given to me. This kind of behavior is absolutely unprofessional. I will definitely not visit this restaurant again and cannot recommend it to anyone.

Staff doesn't speak German? No toilet

I bought new products at this McDonald's today. I bought three burgers, but they only gave me two. I'm very disappointed with this treatment. I'll attach a photo to prove I'm missing a burger!

No possibility to wash or disinfect hands

No toilet for weeks, no way to wash hands.

I left my cookie behind to throw away trash and it got stolen, not cool man

Absolutely unacceptable! I ordered food here and wanted to use the restroom as usual – they simply sent me to the station toilet where I have to pay because my own toilet supposedly "doesn't work." What kind of service is this? I'm a paying customer and I have a right to a functioning, free restroom – period. You can't even wash your hands before eating – a hygiene disaster and a clear violation of your duty to guests. Official complaints to consumer protection agencies will follow. This is not how you treat customers!

Super annoying to see the food getting cold even though it was freshly made. Absolutely super relaxed employees who work like snails and run around aimlessly. Employees who have never heard of hygiene and order in their lives, cold food, annoyed faces on the other side because everyone has to wait forever for two items. The restaurant manager runs around on the night shift in his private clothes and has his phone to his ear the whole time. I thought Hermannplatz was bad, but you at the Ostbahnhof really top everything. Always the same with you.

Yall reviewing this place like its a fine dining lol pay more somewhere else and ull get better experience.

Unfriendly and let you eat standing up even though everything is free upstairs.

Just to say that when my breakfast order was messed up (and unnoticed until I was seated on the train), I wrote to McDonald’s and received a fair response (apology and voucher). And for that I am glad.

I do not recommend, not like in Poland The biggest sewage, 100 PLN thrown away and I threw the food in the trash

No restroom and unbearable wait times. After 40 minutes, I finally got a Big Mac meal. Very disappointing.

Toilet closed also for customers

Your understanding is enough, man

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was good, but you had to pay to go to the toilet!

I ordered at the ticket machines, and there were no tickets available. I went to explain my situation and was sent to someone else like a dog. I'm also quite surprised by the cleanliness; customers aren't bothered, and no one comes to clean! A shame for a 24/7 service.

here they are very inattentive to orders in the establishment and to delivery, every time they mix up orders, I will not eat here anymore

The burgers were prepared by the employees without gloves – just a minute before, one of them had first scratched his head with his hands, then touched all possible surfaces, and then started preparing the burger (there was no mention of hand washing at all).

We ordered several takeout meals for our group – and half of them were missing! Some were missing burgers, others were missing fries. Pretty disappointing, especially when you're out with several people. That really wasn't good service.

Got a moldy burger!!! DISGUSTING

They stole beer while we were ordering, assholes

very rude behaviour and staff language very dirty and rudely 😥

I had the wrong game in my happy meal!!!!

Ice tea was almost just water, no ice cubes, hardly any taste. Fries tasted extremely like sadness and were poorly salted. There was chilli cheese sauce on the Bigmac. Not recommended. Please change something essential about the business, you have the feeling that savings are being made wherever possible.

Standard order, 2 burgers, 1 fries, 1 drink. Cash payment. Orders that were placed on site after me were served faster despite the larger order. After 30 minutes of waiting without much crowd, I left. JUICE SHOP endless

An apple turnover was simply brought instead of raspberries (supposedly empty). Toilets not open. The sugar and milk ordered were missing from the coffee. The train station is generally disgusting.

I was there today on Saturday around 6am, there were 2 people in front of me and I waited 20 minutes for my order! That doesn't work at all. When the unmotivated lady at the counter said they were understaffed, it couldn't be any quicker. But during the 20 minute wait, 2 of 4 employees calmly go out the door together to smoke. In addition, there was leftover food and packaging waste lying around at almost every table and the tray trolley was full even though there was nothing going on. And there was a homeless man sitting in the restaurant who smelled to no end and he just got two large portions of fries with ketchup without paying. Cannot recommend this store to anyone and will not visit it again.

Apparently the employees can't count to 5 because (as is often the case) the burgers you paid for are missing. And apparently they don't recognize different types of shakes because I ordered a vanilla shake and got a strawberry shake. The employees seem to be trying to make a lot of money, more income, less distribution of goods, preferably 0 stars! Always check your order when ordering take away!

It's not worth coming here Coffee IS pure water Unfriendly, unmotivated employees

Tragedy. Avoid!!! Toilet out of order. They promise a refund when you use the toilet at the station, but when you come for a refund, they ignore you and you get nothing. There is no selection of coffees at all, only plain black. We ordered two sauces for breakfast and only got one. They cheat on everything they can! Additionally, there are homeless people everywhere and it smells like crap. The cleanliness of the restaurant also leaves much to be desired. I've never been to such a crappy McDonald's in my life, and others are luxurious compared to this one.

I was there on 4/6/25 and it was an absolute disaster. I wanted to grab something to eat quickly before the train left. After 25 minutes of waiting, like many others, I still didn't have my food. Otherwise I would have missed my train so I had to leave. Instead of my order of almost 23 euros, I got two cheeseburgers and a few cold nuggets. Worst McDonald's ever. It felt like no one could take responsibility. Never again!

Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the taste of the burgers has remained in the past and the burger falls apart in your hand when you eat it.

Ate there. The child was denied the toilet, even though they should have one (due to their size). It doesn't work like that. The waitress should be ashamed of themselves. I hope she feels the same way with her children.

As a professional mcflurry sommelier with a confirmed diploma from Harvard, I leave this establishment 4 stars. I would like to point out the following pros and cons: + Fast order fulfillment + Convenient location + There is a second floor with tables - They put very few Oreo cookies in the ice cream (attached photo) - The mcflurry packaging was hot, causing the ice cream to melt rather quickly. I advise you to work on the location of the ice cream machines and perhaps at the next inspection I will give out a fifth star.

The bathroom they said was out of order. The ladies on duty on April 19, 2025 at 2 pm told me that with the receipt I would enter the public toilets opposite for free because they had an agreement with them due to the poor service. Absolutely false information, we had to pay for the bathroom (1 euro per person!!!!!), they only said it to get rid of us. Not recommended!

The staff forgot my spoons and my sauces. My friend's burger wasn't laid out properly

If you want a quick bite, this is not the place for you. The order takes a long time. The coffee machine won't melt

Food was normal Mc food. Service was rubbish. My friend ordered a McPlant without sauce. Received a regular McCrispy. When she went to switch it she got the comment “you get what you get”. The receipt clearly said her order. Then she got her good order and the burger was almost cold. To make it better, my wrap was completely stuck to the paper. Wouldn’t return here.

Stopped in after midnight. Atmosphere was not very desirable. Homeless guy came in and took food from the garbage pit it on one of the tables and ate it right there right next to us. We had to move tables because he was so stinky. No one from the staff told him to leave.

Burger was cold and didn't look tasty, but we waited "only" 10 minutes for it. For just under €4 this is very disappointing.

One of the worst MDs in Berlin. With employees who don't feel like it and a manager who is hard to beat in terms of incompetence, unprofessionalism and laziness. Never again!!!

Already on Monday morning at 5 a.m., this McDonald's restaurant is disappointing and causing unnecessary frustration: - All tables were dirty and not cleared. - Although many orders are made “to go”, sometimes you just want to eat in peace and quiet - unfortunately that was hardly possible. - I wanted to order a tea with a cheesecake for €5.49 as it was shown on the display case. But this menu was not available at the self-order terminal. Instead, I had to buy the two items individually for a total of €7.99. I hope this issue will be resolved soon - especially for guests who come over early in the morning. I will definitely not visit this branch again

An absolute joke – never again! Yesterday I was at McDonald's at Ostbahnhof and unfortunately I had to use the toilets. They also asked for money for this - and what do you get in return? A completely dirty, smelly toilet that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in days. Dirt everywhere, paper on the floor, urine residue – just disgusting! If you're going to charge money, at least a minimum level of cleanliness should be guaranteed. That was just disgusting and absolutely unacceptable. Shame on you!

The store is DISGUSTING! You are harassed by people scrounging, everything stinks. You have house rules, why do you tolerate something like that? Therefore order canceled! Staff absolutely incompetent.

Food is fast but lots of homeless people around. Double chocolate pie was not good and the sweet and chilli chicken wrap was not great either.

I've had similar experiences with this chain over and over again: when ordering at the machine, I don't get a printout and therefore no pickup number, and no one seems to be responsible. You might as well just burn your money. Is this really just a technical problem, or perhaps a scam to rip off customers? And why doesn't this happen with the competition?

I ordered a breakfast sandwich and a roll. The roll was sitting on the counter for a good 15 minutes while I waited for my breakfast sandwich. If I knew my meal would take that long to make, I would have just waited for the train. When I asked the kid working, he just repeatedly told me it was almost done. Next time I'm in Ostbahnhof, I'm skipping breakfast.

Really poor made cheeseburger and with really bad taste

Never again, waited over 30 minutes even though there was hardly anything going on, there wasn't even an apology

We ordered via an app for delivery except we ordered mcflurrys but WE DID NOT HAVE SPOONS

The McDrive was a disaster. The first shock absorber broke upon entering, and the rest broke upon leaving!

Everything is awful. More than hour to get small order...

It's not like McDonald's, but it's okay.

Terrible experience at McDonald's The worst service I have ever experienced! The staff is absolutely unprofessional - unfriendly and rude. Today, March 8, 2025, the team was particularly rude. The employees prepare the burgers without gloves and just throw them down. In addition, something is almost always missing from the orders. You really have to check everything carefully every time! Such poor service is unacceptable. I definitely won't visit this McDonald's again.

The branch is generally clean and well organized. The staff is friendly The seating areas are sufficient and the toilet can be used free of charge as a customer

I'll start with the positives 1. Very convenient location 2. Beautiful cafe design 3. Orders are prepared quickly The only negative is very expensive food (for such establishments)

A case for health supervision. The burgers are literally squashed before being packed up after they've sat outside for ages and gotten cold. The fries? Simply thrown upside down in the bag as if they were destined for the trash. Cold, bland, loveless – just disgusting.

Ein Fall für die Gesundheitsaufsicht. Die Burger werden vor dem Einpacken regelrecht zerquetscht, nachdem sie erstmal ewig draußen rumlagen und kalt wurden. Die Pommes? Einfach umgedreht in die Tüte geworfen, als wären sie für den Müll bestimmt. Kalt, fad, lieblos – einfach nur widerlich.

Awful area, nothing works - electricity switched off, toilets closed. That’s how you try to avoid homeless people or what is this for? Super bad.

Can’t believe this, worst situation and plus worker not even answered my thank you. Toilet closed and no one there to clean after eating. Worst customer service. One of customer with kid was asking for toilet and workers were just trying to ignore her, so sad.

Although not a fastfood/McDonald‘s person myself, I took some eager young friends here and they were totally thrilled. Not too bad compared to the usual tiny M’s joints around town, with vases of (real) tulips on the tables and pretty friendly service considering the crowds.

They forgot to include parts of my order

Service people are very kind, seem a bit overworked. Maybe Corporate should hire a few more people.

This will be the best review you can find here! I ordered a Mc Smart menu as normal and after about 10-20 minutes I was able to pick up my order, but the security was, so to speak, a random NPC (No Player Character (bot)). I walked out of McDonald's and then some dude talked to me and gave me the quest to buy a burger... So in plain English, he wanted me to buy a burger for him (I said no) and then he did said to me: "It's really nice when you have something to eat and watch Netflix." All well and good, I just went to the Sbahn, wanted to go home and a new quest giver came on the Sbahn and I felt really ripped off! I looked at the quest giver and he had a bottle of beer in his hand and had spit in the train on the ground. And then he shouted at all the players who were in the Sbahn server and said this: "If God steps in a mine"! And then he said something else. Well, best review of all here, so there you go. Oh yes... check out Twitch dinob4mbino :D

Always get coffee here. The cappuccino is very good and the service is friendly. Especially since this is one of the few shops that is open at night, so you can still get something to eat during shift work

This McDonald's branch consistently fails to pack online orders correctly. Every time at least one item is missing - without exception. We regularly give the branch a new chance in the hope that something has changed. But the result remains the same every time: disappointing. My conclusion: online orders here are a complete waste of time and money.

Stuff tricks with order numbers, marks orders done before it is actually complete. This way playing with McDnlds tracking system to show reduced order processing time.

It was clean, quiet, the food came super quickly (1-2 minutes). The burgers were fresh, warm and not squashed and the fries were well salted and crispy

Dies ist ein McDonald’s mit stark discriminierenden und rassistischen Tendenzen gegenüber Asiaten, was wirklich ekelhaft ist! Ich werde es nicht empfehlen. Die Toilette ist kostenpflichtig, aber wenn man hier etwas isst, ist es kostenlos. dem Handy gezeigt, aber sie ließen uns nicht hinein. Eine Einstellung hast, solltest du besser auf deinem Laden klarstellen, dass du nur weiße Leute bedienst. Es ist einfach zum Kotzen 🤮. - This is a McDonald's store that has a strong discriminatory tone against Asian people, and it's extremely disgusting. I do not recommend this store. You have to pay to use the restroom, but if you eat here, it's free. But what was so frustrating was that I didn't know that I needed a paper receipt to enter the restroom. Even though we showed the order screen on our phones to the staff lady, she wouldn't let us in. However, for white male and female customers, staff simply let them through without checking for any evidence. It is surprising that such discriminatory treatment still exists in 2025. If you have this kind of attitude, it would be better to have a sign at the store that says ``We only serve white customers.'' I feel really nauseous 🤮. - This is a McDonald’s with strong discriminatory tendencies against Asians, which is absolutely disgusting! I would not recommend it. The restroom is pay-to-use, but if you eat here, it's free. What really upset me, though, is that we didn't know we needed a paper receipt to use the restroom. Even though we showed the staff our mobile order, they still wouldn't let us in. But when white men or women came, the staff didn't ask for any proof or evidence and just let them in. The double standard is hard to believe, especially in 2025. With such an attitude, they should at least make it clear on their store that they only serve white people. It’s honestly disgusting 🤮.

Waited an hour for mcsmart menu and they got it wrong

Me and my sister got food poisoning here! We ate here 3 days ago and then got food poisoning (Google says that food poisoning takes exactly 72 hours to break out) I was just shocked

The food is like any other McDonald's, but the cleanliness of the branch in the evening leaves a lot to be desired. The tables are not cleaned regularly after the last guests and you can often find lots of scraps of paper on the floor or on the tables. Sometimes there is a very unpleasant smell in the branch as homeless people go in and sleep on the seats. The staff seems like they are reluctant to do their jobs.
