Reviewing McDonald's NEW BIG AND CHEESY BURGER! So DISAPPOINTING!

The first and probably last McDonald's review on the channel for the foreseeable future but as I'm in the festive spirit, I thought I would head down to McDonalds to try their new festive burger!

There are traditional McDonalds restaurants like the one of from Bracknell UK it is not one of the ones that had to change for the delivery bias McDonald’s that proitise Uber, just eats, Deliveroo over in store customers, they will loose customers eventually when cunts stop buying convenience and focus on service, the restaurant near me never had the cheese sauce to give enough and did use the proper American cheese but did not ever take the lettuce out even in CUSTOM orders, a medium meal for that price fick that the Big Mac has 3 sauces the big cheesy one and they were short so they half portioned it

[@HoratioChinn]

McDonalds bacon has been proven to be the thinnest material known to science. It recently superceded the previous record holder, 1970's school toilet paper.

Thanks for warning us Gary. Can't believe they didn't have some sort of mayo in a burger that size. It looked like a cork serving mat with lettuce. And those rashers, bleurghhh. They looked raw.

[@GaryEats]

No problem, completely avoid!

[@hargravegas]

I agree the festive menu is disappointing, major outcry over them Not doing the Festive Pie, and that burger did look poor, but far too many comments here just slagging McDs off generally, the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Wrap of the day are all great value, not everyone can afford fine dining & also it’s quick, if I’m working late, missed tea, McDs from Liverpool Street to eat on the train feels good to me!

[@GaryEats]

I like a cheeseburger. That's about it. Thanks for watching mate.

[@grantchallinor5263]

I'm currently based in a part of the world (in Europe - just about) that used to have McDonald's, but no longer has them. You see so many people here who have such perfect figures (men/women and teenagers through to people in their 50s) and are so healthy because they wouldn't dream of eating fast food* (Using the term "food" loosely....) Like others have commented, there are probably more health benefits on offer if you ate the carton that the meal was served in - rather than the burger itself.

[@GaryEats]

Mcdonalds isn't my cup of tea and never really has been. Thanks for watching!

[@OuterSpaceOwl]

There was more lettuce in your burger than in a rabbit hutch! Too dry, needed extra sauce and a decent bit of cheese. Fries are usually just fries but I think most would agree that Maccy's fries, piping hot are a cut above. At least the drink didn't disappoint you. Sorry about being foiled on the dessert front. Typical!

[@GaryEats]

Even when I wanted to get a dessert, McDonalds wouldn't let me!

[@danimayb]

Bang average to totally bland is what I give MacDonalds . The only decent food is the fries and the ice cream! But even then, Their fries are something I wouldn't miss when eating far better food anywhere else lol

With McD's the key is to expect to be moderately disappointed, and if you are not then it's a bonus. I don't go often, but I can say from my recent experience it's never very memorable food, but just keeps hunger at bay, nothing more, nothing less.

I must admit I do love a lot of lettuce on a sandwich, no matter what kind it is. But where are the condiments, and I think they should change the name to "A Bit Cheesy" if that is what they are going to give people when they order it. Burger looked dry as a dead dingo's donger, good thing you got the drink to wash it down with.

[@GaryEats]

I like lettuce as well but if it's known for being cheesy then it needs to have cheese!

[@GaryEats]

Not all heroes wear capes eh? Haha!

[@MrWillyMrBrightside]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I've long suspected that these seasonal/festive menus are a way to attract non-regular Maccies customers back into the restaurant with an overpriced burger. It works as well, otherwise they wouldn't do it, but it's never been value for money. It's a shame, there's a lot they could be doing with a festive menu. Anyway when I go to Maccies (usually when there's no convenient alternative) I just stick to the saver menu, a double cheeseburger is usually enough to fill me up, but I've got a small belly.

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree. Thanks for watching!

[@Nako3]

It does look dry. With more cheese and more sauces it would definitely be better!

Interesting to see differing perspectives on this burger Gary. I tried it yesterday, and really enjoyed it, although I think I got more cheese in mine than you did.

Hi Gary I agree more cheese needed to call it a big cheesy. Also I think £7.99 is quite expensive for what you are getting? You can have a gourmet burger for about the same price but this has more quality and meat and cheese than a McDonald's

The Philly Cheese Stack had the same cheese sauce and was nicer.

Good review as always. I don’t eat bacon but, if I did, I would have expected a couple more rashers. Plus there probably should have been a larger slice of cheese with that burger. I’m sure the hot chocolate would have tasted good but there is an insane amount of sugar in that, more than what you would need in an entire day of food.

[@momuv6980]

I remember eating at McDonald's with my grandmother & it was such a treat! It was one of the first chain fast food restaurants in our state (in the 1960s). We could get a burger, fries & a soda for under $1.00. Those were the days! Over the decades, the quality of food declined dramatically and a few years ago, I found out what they were putting in their burgers & nuggets so I stopped eating there. It's a shame, really. There is a need for quality fast food - not as something to eat every day, but as a stop-gap for those on a limited budget. Speaking of which - with the prices today ($11-18 for a Big Mac meal depending on geography), McDonald's is pricing itself out of business. No great loss, I guess. So sorry you had an unpleasant experience, Gary, but honestly not surprised. 😊

Gary, do you ever feel uneasy or slightly embarrassed, talking to the camera/phone, in public? Like do people sometimes give you funny looks, as if they think you’re talking to yourself? I remember when Bluetooth for phones first came around and I thought people was talking to themselves. I’m totally fine with talking to people in public but would feel strange, talking to nobody, while I eat. Oh that burger didn’t look great. I’ve ate McDonald’s, all my life but always surprised that it’s. probably the number 1 fast food, worldwide. I’ve not actually had McDonald’s since about this time last year and I don’t really miss it. Apart from the caramel McFlurry and a cold coke on a hot day. Oh I kinda miss the chocolate donut from the 90’s.

To add to my confessions about not liking chilli and loathing Indian food, I am moving even further into the doghouse by admitting that I love a Maccers, but I love a Maccers so much that I only have 3 or at the most 4 per year. Looks underwhelming for a festive offering. I usually go for a cheeseburger medium meal with a banana milk shake. The Maccers in various parts of Southampton seem to take it in turns to have broken McFlurry and milkshake machines. Since I don't go often it drives me nuts. Disappointing experience for you too, although the hot chocolate looked a bit lush. Hope you're OK, chick, and, as ever, your lovely Mama x x

As is plan to visit UK next year from Australia , one day to take an excursion by train an hour or so out of London to another nice town or city . Perhaps you have or plan to do so . A place with a few nice cafe or Pubs and a good look around .

[@GaryEats]

Off up north tomorrow my friend 😊

It’s not cheese, it’s closer to plastic than cheese. Every time I go to McDonalds (in a fit of desperation) I regret it within 5 minutes of eating it. It’s a waste of money, poor quality, especially the chicken nuggets. £8 would get you a better snack elsewhere with probably fewer additives and calories. The burgers are always dry in McDonalds.

[@GaryEats]

I think we're all in agreement that we regret Mcdonalds very quickly after eating it!

[@stevecohen8206]

Thanks for the heads up. Every time I see a review on Macs burgers, it reminds me not to go. There are so many better burgers out there. More expensive but worth it compared to what you have there.

[@GaryEats]

Any time!

[@martindunstan8043]

Evening Gary👍nothing screams Christmas more than a toasted lettuce roll and I've seem more cheese on(I'm not telling you where I've seen more cheese) 🤣🤣highlight of your meal for me was you had hot fries in McDonald's 😲I've never had that! It looked terribly dry and needed a sauce of some kind. Nevermind Gary, rough with the smooth, you can't have 50 quid steak meals everyday ✌️

[@GaryEats]

Haha Martin. Completely agree with you my friends - onwards and upwards!

[@andreashaynes3346]

Very disappointing Gary. Portion was OK but the pâté looked very dry, too much lettuce. Like you said, not enough cheese. Looks like McDonalds are trying to bulk it out with salad. Beefy Boys won’t need to worry!!! Another great review Gary 👍👍👍

[@GaryEats]

Yes I agree Andreas. Thanks mate 👍🏼

I remember a time here in the states when there was no such thing as McDonalds. There's one located out the back gate of the community I live in here in Florida and 80% of their business is done through the drive by window. They used to make really good fries if you could get them hot instead of from under the heat lamp but they've changed that up and in my very rare going to McDonalds found their food to be wanting. They've become too expensive for the quality and portion size that you receive. The only thing worth while buying at McDonalds these days is a good quality cup of coffee.

[@GaryEats]

Indeed. Thanks for watching!

The best is McDonald's in New Zealand, they cater for two Kiwi obsessions , coffee and pies . You see a proper barista section,with drinks served in proper cups and Mcpies on the menu.

[@GaryEats]

Nice.

[@jerrygeorgopolis8015]

Gary, Could of used a bit more sauce on that from the looks ! Meat looked very dried out from cooking, lettuce was a tad too much (imho). Thanks for the video and all the best from the U.S.

[@GaryEats]

Spot on Jerry. All the best to you.

[@Wattle-t5i]

Best burgers are at our fish and chip shops if u can find one these days burgers with the lot including egg beetroot onions mayo sauce if u want lettuce tomato shredded carrot some add pineapple but if u want its all on

[@GaryEats]

Good to know!

[@theodoremason6344]

The trouble is with McDonald’s special burgers are that you inevitably compare them to the Big Mac which is a stone cold classic

[@GaryEats]

Spot on.

[@ChimpingBulldog]

Most mcdonalds limited time burgers are the same; a patty, lettuce or rocket, cheese, bacon and red onion.

[@thewillofthepeople4615]

Hi gary , i just watched another vid on the cheesy big tastey.. you should have got more cheese..you get two layers , you got one .

[@GaryEats]

I was shortchanged. McDonalds are getting a stern letter!

[@jenny.barter]

Not 100% mate but I think the festive pie might be a breakfast item,maybe thats why it wasn’t available,love your videos

[@GaryEats]

Ah thank you Jenny. All the best!

[@crowdavidson]

McDonalds recycles the same old ingredients in burgers, calls them something seasonal and charges extra. You could get that exact burger anytime during the year and it would probably be called a quarter pounder with cheese.

[@GaryEats]

Indeed.

[@james9958]

Would like to see you trying McDonalds again and this time sticking to the trusty Big Mac!

[@GaryEats]

🤣

[@nigelnigel.]

The bacon cooked on a radiator was a deal breaker for me 🤮

[@GaryEats]

I don’t like anaemic bacon mate!
