Austin, TX

I don't eat McDonalds often. I OD'd on it in China every morning trying to satisfy my craving for a Western style breakfast. But as I mentioned in my HEB review I found some HEB brand HFCS free ketchup today and wanted to try it on some fries.  Good stuff by the way. I'd encourage every ketchup eater to try it. No real difference in taste.

I also ordered a Bacon and Cheese Angus Burger. I had one of these two years ago in the San Diego test market. I was skeptical on trying it again, but I have to say it's a 100% improvement in taste. The ones tested were horrid. There was even a CNBC special on the head McDonald's chef where it was mentioned the Angus Burger was sent back for testing numerous times. I'm sure the disgusting taste is where Jack In the Box got the Anus Burger commercial idea!

Now just because it's a 100% improvement in taste, there's no way I would choose eating at McDonald's over P.Terry's. But it was acceptable for what it was albeit on the dry side. If I was in a hurry again or traveling, I'd probably just grab a McDouble to keep it cheap.

You would think McD's would have a "standard" in all their restaurants. CLEARLY they do NOT here! Came in here for a quick breakfast because, hey, it's a McDonald's, right? They have fresh brewed, corporate-provided coffee, right? They have an Egg McMuffin that taste's the same here as the one in Miami, in Chicago, in Po'dunk, Iowa, RIGHT??? W R O N G ! ! ! If there was a one-QUARTER star to rate this place, I think THAT would be too high. The coffee was (diplomatically) one step up above POND SLUDGE! It was disgusting! The egg in the Egg McMuffin was so dry it was reverting back to it's POWDER form! And, cheese is NOT suppose to "snap" when you bite into it. I showed this to the lady at the counter and she said, "we make all these fresh every morning." Okay, WHICH morning two weeks ago did you make this one??? The orange juice was no better. If you took a tablespoon of Tang and put it in a QUART of water.....yeah, that would be close to it. I'm sorry. I don't mean to bash a place in one of my favorite cities on Earth but I just want to warn everybody what they can expect (unless, of course, "corporate" sees this and other reviews and does something about it). I'll never know because I'll never go back.
