Reviews of McDonald's Kelston

E.

A good restaurant. Friendly enough with good service. Some staff servers offer exceptional public service with a smile, are 'present' with their customer and are able 'to read' the customer very well, anticipating needs, offering small sometimes essential variations to meal choices if their customer is young, elderly, or just plain unsure. NOTE: Not ALL servers at this location have acquired this high level of public relations and service only a select few in the time that I have being a patron at this location. Always room for improvement in customer relations and service. Keep up the good work. Patronage: Over 10+ years

P.

Ordered through Ubereats, "you choose family pack". Items were missing. When contacted the store, it went through after 4 calls. The staff took my contact details, saying that the manager will call me regarding the issue. Was supposed to be our dinner for 4, it's been almost 2 hours and no calls yet. Very poor service😔😡

A.

Good fast service and very accommodating. Saucing and ingredients put on burgers properly unlike some other McD where they through things together.

B.

today at 7:35pm approximately, the person at the drive through jumped out the window and got into my car, then they told me to take them to kfc??? what an unusual experience. giving 3 stars because the person was rather friendly but minus 2 because they could've just used the door. next time pls just ask....

L.

Used the drive-thru, for 2x decaf flat whites. Extra $1 for decaf. Nice and hot. Cheers

L.

The meal swas delicious and great freindly service I will go again

K.

Good place near from home, has a kids playground, friendly customer service, awesome!!!

L.

Love it opens 24/7 always buy something on my way home

L.

Somehow there's nearly always things missing from your order, last time we went we had burnt black onion on our burgers even though we asked for 1 without onion as I'm highly allergic! The staff are rude most the time except for a guy called Jake who' works in drive thru and a lady Sheryl who I noticed has worked there many years, those 2 are the best part of the place which is y I'm giving 3 stars. If it wasn't for them I'd give 1 star. At least they have customer service skills and always get ya order right

M.

I go here quite often to get meals for the family, service is ok no niceties at all and make sure you check your order is correct, the amount of times that they have missed part of order is enough that I make sure to check everytime.

J.

Awesome Customer Service once they were able to serve us. Extremely busy drive-thru,So much so that cars were waiting for 40 odd minutes to order. Tables were cleared but not wiped. The seats were so greasy u can slide off

M.

Yesterday met up with a friend and arrived at the counter where we had waited almost 10 minutes until their staff noticed we stood there. We had asked can we get some service? As of all of the staff were too busy doing the registered orders. Looked like one of the managers came to serve us, didn't even apologize for letting us wait this long. "You didn't want to use the registered order service"? They replied. "No, we don't use robots lol we prefer the human touch, plus you didn't even see us waiting for that long". Our response to them. We had shared to them, maybe if you had 1x member working to serve the humans we wouldn't wait for ten minutes. Please note that we will also refer this to your main head office and your management here too. Retrain your staff and remember we could've went to pizza hut a few meters away🙄

S.

A couple of items missing in my order. Politely went up to staff regarding two missing items from my order. Staff were fine until the manager tried to have a go at me stating they had the order correct. It was busy, I told her what was in a hunger buster then she changed her tone. Would give 1 star but the frontline staff were awesome.

T.

Fast,efficient and very professional. Friendly staff, loved at how quickly the line was moving.

S.

Took my elderly father in law for a treat. Food great. Cleanliness top notch. Can't beat a buck for a frozen no sugar Coke either. Staff really nice. However a point off for the disabled toilet - a major challenge to get in and out of in a wheelchair with the weighted door (should be a slider or cavity door ideally) plus the toilet is terribly low for transferring.

L.

I'll give it 5...its my go to at midnight or anytime at night after work...that place its need😉😅

J.

Great Maccas. Much higher quality than other locations.

M.

Friendly staff however tend to take a while to take your order when at the drive through speaker. Very rare that both ice cream and frozen coke machine are working at the same time. Food is usually pretty fresh however there is always something to let down a meal I.e fresh chips with no salt. Good location and close to other shops. Drive through is small and clostrophobic

Q.

Always a great place to enjoy a quick take-away. This place is so friendly and efficient timing for food on-the-go. Is convenient to other stores including Mobil, and Countdown Kelston. Easy to drive-in or park. 5 Star rating Quinton Joyce

P.

Fabulous service. I was 2 mins late for brekkie after queueing for 10 mins but the wonderful staff member let me order a sausage & Egg mcmuffin :-) it is a yucky day in aucks and this small kindness made my day better 😀

A.

The person taking the orders through the drive thru was great and chirpy this morning well done young fella great customer service

S.

Special shout out to Jacob who always has a great customer service approach in the drive thru he's usually on in the AM and is a breathe of fresh air to get your morning coffee to head to work. Just wish the coffee was consistently good!

S.

Food is served quickly. Mocha tasted more.like a cappuccino. I have to say the first Mocha was very sweet for me so the next time I asked for half chocolate. The next time was nice so I ordered it again but unfortunately I don't think they put any chocolate in at all. The mocha I paid for turned into a cappa. Also they forgot some of my order. Nice people tho.

T.

Its a good McDonalds and McCafe with a big children's playground inside. Also has a bookable birthday/ meeting room. Clean and pretty quiet. Disabled toilet was out of order! Wasn't too easy using the adults toilet with two 3 year olds.

I.

Good place to go when took lazy to cook, most of the staff are really good and service is pretty good most of the time, alot better than Lincoln Road. Food is normal McDonald food, can't complain. There's one European lady that works there with the best customer service skills I have every seen and always smiles, with a cheerful tone in her voice all the time. Good place overall for big or small family stop ins and even special occasions like children's B'Days.

A.

Its not bad, depending on how busy they are depends on how hot the food is when u get it

R.

Slow drive through but pleasant staff

T.

Cleaner than most McDonald's franchises and the staff were friendly. Food was well prepared and the tables and chairs were all nice and clean so the overall experience was great. Finding parking wasn’t difficult. However, we did visit when it wasn’t very busy. I can definitely see parking being more difficult during lunch time/weekends.

j.

Fast service with help to use machine. Very few customers

L.

Since my first Big Mac about 30 years ago McDonalds has never disappointed me and my most recent visit maintained this winning streak. Well priced tasty food, served quickly by friendly staff - on point as always. Big Mac combo with a hot chocolate as the drink ticks all the boxes.

S.

The drive through in the late evening is so busy but very efficient. The food and milkshakes are a delight. My favourite place late at night after a gig

I.

Drive thru service is getting better depending on staff. Everyone needs to be trained at the same level. Some days are awesome n qui

S.

Good usual service. But my cheeseburger i ordered must have been sitting there for hours and have been reheated 3 times. the bun was stale, and was warm in the center cold around the outside. Definitely not mc donalds standard. Frozen cokes were good though

S.

New favorite McDonald's item is their mac n cheese bites 😍

D.

Had good service at drive through

S.

Hi to all staff working the early morning shift. I drove thru about an hour ago for my brekkie which was a NYC BAGEL COMBO and I would just like to say IT WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST IVE EVER HAD.....and ive had a few ha ha ha. So big ups to you at Kelston for kick starting my day in a very yummy way. I.LL BE BACK......Have a great day you guys. THANK YOU.

B.

Just ordered our meal from the drive thru. The gentleman that took our order was very friendly and spoke clearly and ensured we had our orders right before moving to the payment window. He greeted us with a smile and was very polite, I didn't catch his name. Our food came very quickly with another friendly greeting and smile from Cheryl. The food is delicious the fries are hot and they got our order correct. Keep up the good work McDonald's Kelston :)

R.

Friendly service theough drive through

M.

McDonalds NZ is better than in any other country I have visited, and this one is superb even for here! Friendly and fast, and always delicious.

M.

Just went to maccas kelston and had the lovely experience of being personally shown how to use the self service kiosk by Kay. What a lovely helpful young lady thank you Kay. PS the food was great as well.

N.

Great service, food came quick. A bit disappointing having a begger in the drive through who I was happy to give my change to but then asked for the extra money I had in the car.

D.

Pretty clean and reasonable McDonald's experience. Chips are often too lightly salted or not at all.

M.

Good coffee. Went inside as Drive through was busy. Reasonably fast service.

g.

Great personalities at this restaurant. Bubbly and friendly, clean and tidy though it was during a quiet time. Thanks for the hot meal!

A.

Kelston is my fave mcds. The guy in the window with the long hair is the absolute best! He is so kind and friendly, always asking about my day. I love that he loves his job and it shows. I wish more people were like this. He is a superstar

D.

For some reason we always seem to order stuff they 'dont have' or 'run out of'. This time it was no flakes. Another time no ice cream. Another time no iced coffee!

c.

Excellent mochas but the mess outside is gross and consistent. Shout out to the guy picking up rubbish everyday.. pretty sure he does it on his own time. They need to match the number plates with the people littering in their carparks. Says $4 coffees has said so all year and I know full fact that I've been charged $5.20 numerous times.i will be calling the commerce commission about this. Honestly have to say I deal with a lot of people on a weekly basis and three members of staff here are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Scar and James and Jacob. There is also an awesome European older lady who is a manager and she is so lovely aswell. Those 4 people are the ONLY reason I can put up with the long waits. They are all going places and deserve recognition and a pay raise for their excellent customer service skills. For them I'll change my rating to a 5/5 .

A.

All right, kind staff, nice burger and I must say that they care about general cleaning, floors and tables were shiny I have noticed that some other McDonald's fail about this. I had a big cheese combo I liked it.

D.

Crew were lovely for the hour of the night and the amount of customers going through drive through. Food was nice hot and fresh. Well done guys

M.

Midday is probably the worst time to drive through. It was a good drive-thru in the service was pretty good due to covid-19 processes

C.

Friendly staff.. Usually hot food but not always the freshest..I like coming here but the beggrs outside the door put me off. Yesterday I ordered a meal for my kids and we just sat at the table when homeless man walks in sits next to us. The problem was he smelled horrific, urine etc I had to get up and move. I feel bad for the guy but oml it is a restaurant. The staff all ignored him it really put me off he is there every day

D.

One of, if not the best McDonald's in West Auckland, dare say all of Auckland. Screw it, best in New Zealand. Na bo, the world. The young guys are actually the most polite dudes. They the real MVP. A true G.

J.

It's super delicious and unique but make sure to eat moderately 😁

Y.

Sorry this is connected to my sons account and I'm not a Hoax lol. I have just come through Kelston Mac Donald's Drive thru to get an order for my sons. A young man called Daniel (whose name I found out when I went to pay) has the most impeccable customer service I have actually ever experienced at ANY Mac D's and I've been to a few over the years. Yes, the line was long and the chips not so hot but that can be forgiven when you are served by someone who knows the true meaning of great customer service. From start to finish the way he asked what I'd like to order to when he collected the money was truely wonderful coming from a young person. Not many young people display such good customer service these days so thank you Daniel, it was an absolute pleasure to be served by you. I hope someone at head office sees this because you need to train some of your peers on how its done! Keep it up. Regards Helen

Y.

Good management during end of covid level2

J.

Service was good but we got home without the burger and the apple pie!!

J.

Ok for McDonald's, it wasn't that busy, seemed to have a lot of staff on. Could have had some continually wiping down tables.

B.

Pretty good service, they do forget things when it’s busy though, but 5 stars

J.

I like this McDonalds because it's big and you can charge your laptop or phone. But sometimes you have to wait for minutes to order and not all employees are that friendly. Today the Wifi didn't work, which was annoying.

J.

I love the old bank Maccas in downtown Auckland. We had to have the toilet stop so we used it as an excuse to ordered two georgie pie meals. These are mince and cheese pies which in a combo comes to about $8nz which was good. The toilets are clean, the srevice is quick and there are lots of tables so more 3 and1/2 than 3 stars

v.

Simply the best, the staff are so nice, and the exceptional service is wonderful, we had the food brought to us instead of waiting at the counter. The food is very hot, not like other mcdonalds, i cant say enough nice things about this resturant, thanks to all the crew there

R.

Regulation McDonald's restaurant. Open 24 hours. Certain ingredients and variants of menu may get finished by the end of the day. Busy at peak times. Convenient location. Easy access. Staff is good.

f.

Great place as my kids love to play in the kids playground area. Nice to sit back and watch kids enjoying their time

I.

food was as per mcD standard... but little lack of customer service and cleanliness.

C.

4 star because I just can't give MCD a 5, ever. Every thing was support fresh, hot, and it make a huge difference to the quality of the meal. I've always hated MCD as a last option due to the 24h penning times, but this meal has shown me what they are capable of on a good day.

M.

Staff informative. As in they had to fresh make some of our food and they came over explained. Very good service for a McDonald's.

C.

I pretty much stopped going here, their frozen coke machines over the past year pretty much are never working ! However staff and food - better than most McD's.... So if you dont want Frozen coke - try them .

T.

Food was ok but the tables and trays could do with a clean. We had a gooey substance on our tray

P.

Had breakfast 11 August ...pancakes..food still yummy..service excellent.. Lunch 8 September with my granchildren... Service was good..maybe a smile with the service would be even better...

D.

Quick local mcdonalds. Consistent quality and fast service. Tables could do better with a good clean. Drive through can often be busy, maybe could expand to double drive through.

A.

Belle was the most helpful person over the intercom as she advised us over our order. This girl deserves the most upmost respect as well as a pay rise and the best of bests hugs ❤️ Love ya bell! Many macca fries for ya x

A.

Lovely and clean... Staff forgot a couple things from our orders but was resolved thankfully until I got home and realised I never got given my chicken wrap but nice place for a kids birthday thanks

M.

It was ok. Nothing stand out about, negative or positive 🤔🙄

v.

Always happy with their friendly service and they don't make you wait for too long like the new lynn one

J.

We received our food 30 minutes later. Fastfood it was not. One crew was working on dine-in, drive-through, and Uber Eats. The wait was way too long.

M.

The fastest service without anything missing even though long line in drive through lol well done.

M.

50/50 good /bad, sometimes they get everything right, sometimes they miss things out of order or don't get order right

S.

The staff are awesome!! Better than the staff in new lynn and lincoln road! The managers on duty are also awesome! Only issue is steambuns is sometimes not working so they have to microwave it.

S.

My client picked up his order, and the food unfortunately fallen on the ground, without any hesitation the team replaced it for free. 👏👏👏

L.

If you're wanting food late at night then this MC'Ds delivers. Restaurant is open to walk in traffic and service is fast. Perfect for late night binges. Plenty of parking and access is easy.

C.

Drive through staff are very nice polite and cheerful.

T.

Such an amazing improvement from the last time i've been here if you're hungry and need to feed the family and feel like something fast then i honestly recommend this McDonalds

S.

Banana Milkshakes 😍 My Absolute Favourite Other than Apple Pies & Hash Browns - Banana Milkshakes are all you'll see me at McDs for Wish they were here to stay

A.

Its been my Maccas for 30 years. Great staff and customer service. Good clean facilities.

V.

I've never dined here but the drive through is pretty quick and the food is hot

D.

If you're going to order in drive thru make sure you keep your order short or it's bound to be wrong

V.

The drive thru is quite slow at this particular mcdonalds, orders will often be incorrect and food can be cold. Much better experience at Mcdonalds, New Lynn

K.

Mc'donalds kelston has Modern interior, quick and friendly service. Runs 24hours drive thru gets busy on friday & satday nites. Only neg is the amount of beggers outside front doors or/and at the actual drive thru

S.

I didn't really like the cup there was no ice

C.

Local maccas, prit good

D.

Have previously rated it a two star due to sloppiness in what they were delivering but it has subsequently improved and food is of a better standard (for mcdonalds) lately

G.

Awesome service and loving the deals at this Mcdonalds and the Mochas are to die for

L.

Good customer service 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

J.

Well what can you say about McDonald's, cozy atmosphere, typical burger experience, the kids love the playground.

j.

Good, food was hot short wait time

S.

McDonald is always great however customer service at this location could have been better.

D.

A great 👍 place to dash in and out for a quick meal before going to work 👌.

R.

Awesome customer service

U.

This is my go to maccas when im visiting the inlaws..hassle free..great service.

T.

Self service machine unreliable. Seemed under staffed for lunch time

T.

I had those frozen cokes with a twist. They all just tasted like coconut

J.

Top girls at the drive through today. Very good. Very helpful. Keep up girls..

D.

Today was the first time I've actually sat and eaten...nice to see McDonald's so clean today...it makes a huge difference ...the food was fresh too

M.

Besides mds being expensive. ..considering you could probably make a roast dinner with all the trimmings for the same price as feeding just 4 children ($40) 6pk nuggets chips and drink $9.60....the service was ok the place is nice and clean and the park is fabulous on a rainy day...kelston is a hell of a lot cleaner then Southside which have disgusting premises slow as service and stale food (bluck)....

A.

Quicker than expected

D.

It's McDonald's. Nothing negative but, they don't exactly stand out as anything special. You're a number

N.

Staff were amazing checked if we had scanned in

D.

Too busy. Large catchment area means heaps of people. Always friendly service and I've never had an incorrect order.

H.

McDonald's are supposed to be fast... it wasn't that busy either... they weren't slow but could've been faster...I was starving

V.

Friendly and fast service

J.

Nice place, now providing food options for vegetarians, just the cooking method means not suitable for vegans.

K.

Great team of staff, who get to know you and how you like your food, even the small things you like, so thanks for being so attentive. Cheers Kev Borg

C.

A very well maintained & operated MD's plus a really good totally undercover childrens playground/tunnel maze.👌

P.

Don't go thru the drive thru when they are busy as they miss things on your order. You don't find this out until you have left and then it's too late

k.

Good place friendly staff. But check your order for the sweet and sour sauce.

D.

One of our favorite place to have a quick bite. Ample of parking space and the restaurant is always clean and tidy!

S.

Regular McDonald's with good stuff and quick service

M.

Good but drive thru is always packed here so don't really go here.

J.

Big drive though line and costumer service wasn't all that pleasant.

j.

So strict until I could not buy on the counter but insist we use the machine.

M.

From my experience I got good customer service.even when they really bizzy they know how to treat they customers with respect.👍

D.

Old McDonald had a farm where he slaughtered some cows and made these delicious burgers. Highly recommended!

A.

Standard Maccas! Tables could do with a clean but I guess you can’t help the patrons either

S.

It was great. The bad news was that i hated the pickles. I chose no pickles but they gave me pickles with a sticker saying "No pickles".

C.

Always love a maccas trip but staff get quite sassy and grumpy sometimes, not all some very lovely :)

A.

The meeting room is VERY noisy. Nothing stopping the noise of children yelling interrupting yoir meeting.

K.

Mcdonald's what more can you say. Service is basic food the same

Good friday treat. The playground was cleaner than last time so the boys had a ball.
