    Not much I can say other than I'd rate this as the best McDonalds in town. I'd willingly drive the extra 5 to 10km to come here rather than go to one of the other McDonalds to cure my cravings.

    So disappointed in the chips I bought with a Big Mac you can tell they are from yesterday they are not fresh at all. The part that is supposed to be crispy is hard and so dry we can't even eat them.

    Keep customers waiting while sending messages on a phone, then tell customer you will be two mins and walk off to get someone else to serve the customer. Your staff need more customer service training. Seriously bad experience.

    My fiance treated us on Saturday to the best Mc Flurries ever! We also purchased a kiddies meal for our little shongolololo and he enjoyed it very much! Especially the toy he recieved. There was an instance when we baught the chocolate milkshake and it tasted slightly of tea. However we love them. It is more suitable for kids than adults with small portioned meals, but the Cafe rocks with their tasty desserts and ice creams. Thanks Mc Donald's for a great time!

    Where are all the animals gone too. Is anyone doing some gardening there. I will be embarrassed to bring tourists to our East London zoo. I would like to know how much tax money goes in there.

  • 1/5 Jeandré “Sky Iscariot” P. 2 years ago on Google
    Not impressed by the way my spicy sauce was applied on to the packaging of my crispy chicken wrap and not actually on my meal. This is rather disappointing cause I'm used to getting quality from this branch

  • 3/5 Dennis C. 1 year ago on Google
    The amount of fries get less and less the orange juice is inconsistent one day too sweet the next too watered-down other than that the food itself is well presented and full of flavour.

  • 5/5 Pamella I. 1 year ago on Google
    It's Macdonalds so not much to say coz Macdonalds is the same everywhere you go. Enjoyed my meal and service was good.

  • 2/5 Karen D. 1 year ago on Google
    The burgers weren't nice. Didn't get any salt for our fries and they weren't well season. Burger patty tasted stale

  • 3/5 Tiny 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the grand chicken meal with a coke. I cannot eat spicy food yet thats what i got. I never ordered it spicy. It was a meal gone to waste. I even paid extra for a regular coke and not sugar free yet i got a sugar free. Very disappointing. Not the first order mess up either. There's always something.

  • 5/5 Lizzie K. 1 year ago on Google
    We have always loved going to the bird park. Love viewing the birds! They are exceptional creatures. The food is a tad pricey but I guess its to keep the doors open. So we don't mind. Some enclosures do need more water bowls and small ponds for the ducks. As the small enclosure that houses ducks, peacocks, Ibis etc. has very little water bowls and no pond for the ducks. The pond for the swanns need desperate cleaning! It's filthy! We enjoyed the show! We appreciate the work that goes into this park. I know that it has not been easy with past global issues. We will keep on supporting the park! The birds always makes us smile!

    It's loadshedding and I just bought 2 happy meals (nuggets) for my kids and went through the drive-thru. We get home and only one of the happy meals has nuggets. I've tried calling the number on the slip and it just cuts. Now I dealing with a crying child and I can't contact the restaurant.

👍👍 Great tasting burgers. Fast very fast service. Would have loved a basket on the vehicle window instead of a box but that's just me. They say you haven't experienced East London if you haven't tried a Windmill Burger and chips and now I now why. Will be back! Awesome experience

👍👍 Great burgers at reasonable price. Service a bit slow as all waiters are either talking with each other at the entrance or playing on their cellphones. Nice view from the deck.
