Mcdonald’s Kalverstraat

I just ordered the big and tasty meal after years of not eating at McDonalds. I am on vacation so it was a familiar looking place in Amsterdam. While I was ordering the manager screamed at someone behind me and chased them out of the store. The girl who was waiting on me was visibly upset and I felt bad for her. The hamburger had been sitting around so long that the bottom of the bun completely stuck to the paper box and peeled off when I removed it. The burger was tough and chewy as though someone had microwaved it far too long. The fries were cold. I was charged for the catchup and mayo I ordered but the mayo was not mayo, it was fries sauce but actually tasted something like tarter (not good on the chewy microwave burger) All this for $ 9 euro… Sorry Micky D’s… you will not get my business again. We all decide to have an unhealthy bit once in a while, why not make it one that actually tastes good with real ingredients that are not frozen and nuked. And by the way, the potatoes, chicken, and pepper grinder on the bag does not fool anyone. This is over processed, unhealthy, garbage.

McDonalds? Really? Yes, that’s the best I have for the day, and you can always skip this review.
Going out shopping all day can get quite tiring (I hope a certain someone reads this anonymous complaint), and I desperately needed some fuel.
The thing about McDonalds is that wherever you are, Europe, Asia or whatever, it’s always a familiar place you can return to, and know always what to expect.
You go in, choose a menu, sit down and eat, all of this in less than 30 minutes.
This McD was no different, so this review might as well be for every other one out there.
Yes you snobs, the italian aria you’re used to hearing on the background is replaced by children’s wailing, and your sophisticated crowd is now composed of teenagers still on puberty, but let’s face it: when it comes to having a quick bite, they know what they are doing.
I don’t know why, but they always seem to be better than their alternatives in the business :)

This McDonald’s is a zoo. Everyone is in this McDonald’s and they all want to use the toilet. The bathroom is upstairs. There is one for men and one for women, both with a few stalls. There is a bathroom attendant present to collect the fee to use the bathroom. Make sure you have a few Euro coins on hand with you. The line is long and will take about 15 — 20 minutes to get through. There are lots of children and tourists trying to hold their bladders. Good thing is that the bathroom is decent and clean.
Since this is a high traffic McDonald’s there is barely any free seating. It’s a large McDonald’s with a lot of tables but just too many people and many seem to be loitering. If you do find a free spot, most likely it will be dirty with crumbs.
Try the coconut (kokos) milkshake. It’s one of the items available only to The Netherlands and not the United States.
*****
Deze McDonald’s is een dierentuin. Iedereen is in deze McDonald’s en ze willen allemaal naar het toilet te gebruiken. De badkamer is boven. Er is een voor mannen en een voor vrouwen, beide met een paar kraampjes. Er is een badkamer verzorger aanwezig zijn om de vergoeding te verzamelen om de badkamer te gebruiken. Zorg ervoor dat je een paar Euro munten op de hand met je. De lijn is lang en zal over 15 — 20 minuten door te komen. Er zijn veel kinderen en toeristen proberen om hun blaas te houden. Goede zaak is dat de badkamer is netjes en schoon.
Aangezien dit een high traffic McDonald’s is er vrijwel geen vrije zitplaatsen. Het is een grote McDonald’s met veel tafels, maar gewoon te veel mensen en velen lijken te treuzelen. Als je vind een plekje, waarschijnlijk zal het vuil met kruimels zijn.
Probeer de kokosnoot (kokos) milkshake. Het is een van de beschikbare alleen naar Nederland en niet de Verenigde Staten items.

Well, after a full night of drinking beer, something to eat and soak up the alcohol is a good idea. It’d been a very long time since I visited a Mcdonald’s in the US without regretting having given them yet another chance. Since, being in Amsterdam I’m not familiar where the late night eats might be I just happened to be near this Mcdonald’s. Two cheeseburgers and fries to go. Something to munch on while walking home. The cheeseburgers had mustard, ketchup, pickles and lots of onions. I wondered why there was so much onion but it did the job, hit the spot and satisfied my hunger. It was better than I’d expected. That was a pleasant surprise. One thing to note was that the posted menu was a bit confusing, seeing as I didn’t see the standard fare. I ordered it anyway. Yep, good call. Just over 5 euros for two cheeseburgers and a large order of fries. Not bad, especially for Amsterdam!

Mc donald in netherlands is muxh more hi tech than in us. It has real orchids on tables it has a automat order system it cleaner too. Food has some diference styles but basicly it taste good like in the us.

I hate mcdonalds. Anytime I travel tho I have to check out the mcdonalds in that country.
They had a «Euro» menu where everything was 1 or 2 euros, I got fried shrimp. Fried Freakin shrimp at mcdonalds! and the fries came with fries sauce– frites sauce! Mcdonalds always tastes better to me when its in a foreign country., it also helps to have a beer with your meal, I dont remember this location serving beer though.
No one picks up after themselves here, there were no garbage pails, you just leave your mess on the table, gross.
