Reviews of McDonald's Sydenham

A. P.

Fast service, and clean restaurant. Burgers were pretty good

J. Z.

Maccas Sydenham is really a great macca to dine in with families, friends, dating, having meetings in one of the mc cafes area, they have a secluded outside area too right when you get inside the entrance which is quite and good for dine in with nice music going on. Coffee is superb, the muffin breakfast menu is a really must try. The burgers are just irresistible too, and a lot more promotions and new items add on like the $5 mcbites and McSpicy chicken and other gourmet. The playland area is quite handy for parents with children. Toilet is well maintained and the Staff even busy are neat and clean. Drive thru area can be hectic but the Staff tries their best though a bit smiles can sometimes lift up the customers mood and repeat service but it must be hard to work at a fastfood industry. Overall it is a great McDonald’s that is really trying it’s best to preserved the McDonald’s product and service. 👍👍👍💯💯💯

K. Y.

Pretty good as long as you check your order a few times and yell so they hear it. Frustrating when the frozen cokes are defrosting a g a i n!!! And the beggars outside can be abusive. But ok

D.

Fast .. yummy .. no bad reflection on Macdonald's but pulling in to the drive thru .. there man begging for money . Another time . got big fright other night when waiting in drive thru ,got a tap on car window from a man who wanted a smokes and money ... as a woman by herself in car late at night, ,, made get startled and grab my stick lol .. because he looked creepy as .. but its Macdonald's and I'm lovin it

A. E.

Great McDonald's to go sit inside. Lovely little playground area. With slide and mini obstacle course. A mini tramp and under 3 area. Great sitting area away from kids play area. Amazing coffee. Happy to customize burger orders. Great place for family, friends or associates.

R. D.

Really great service, super friendly but when going threw the drive through it may pay to check your order , they tend to forget the condiments .

D. M.

Great drive thru meal. Kiwi burger was tasty and well put together. The fries were hot and crisp. The takeaway coffee was really hot, so it was still hot when I got to drink it and the staff were happy and friendly. The best meal I have had from a Maccas for a long time

C. H.

Disappointed 2x Hash Browns only warm not hot , same with McMuffin , usually really good, an hot considering early In the morning an no customers 😕

P.

Having renovations at the moment. But all in all good. No seating due to covid.

r. a.

Good meal staff were very helpful easy parking, renovation were in progress more seating put in kids play room.

M. H.

Friendly and I always order fresh food especially the chips. If the chips are not fresh I always return it and they made my order as asked great

P. P.

Just moved to chch and went to this mcdonalds it was so quick and great service will be back here again

B. E.

I've noticed during the day you get more for your money, they are not shy with filling the box with chips and the chicken is always perfectly cooked. During night I've found that the staff could be a little rude and the food is dry how ever it's still worth the money so can't complain to much.

J. C.

Cool, very good. Loved their Frozen McFloats only trouble is they close early about 8 of 9pm

M.

Fast, friendly service at the drive thru'. Great job guys!!

N. W.

Good parking, easy to use drive through. Public toilets not great.

L. G.

Pretty good service at this particualy restaurant. They have never mucked up our order and are reasonably quick. Create your taste is always good here.

G. L.

Love this place. Went with former work mates from Harcourts and the coffee was excellent, the cabinet food amazing and the vibe was great. Will be one of my new favs.

M. M. (.

When I go and get myself food this place is great. Nice friendly staff, clean eating areas and the drive thru is easy to get through as long as it's not there busy times. Unfortunately when it's busy cars that use the drive thru seem to always block the carpark from being used. The food 99% of the time is great with the very rare missed nugget in my 10 pack. This McDonald's main fault would be when my whole family goes, as we have 7 or 8 adults and 11 kids our orders are usually quite large and we almost always have one or two things missing which can really ruin a family meal on a Saturday night when you really don't want to go all the way back to pick up something forgotten, leaving the food you had to leave to come get these items going stone cold.

K.

Always have to wait long time. Allow your self 15 Min extra to go there.

L.

Waited in queue 4 over half hour never spike to me so just drove right through

R.

Not the best customer service but it does the job of getting you a feed.

j.

Amazing service always and fresh food

D. C. (.

Great service in drive thru. Good was hot too. Got to be a frontrunner for one of the best McDonald's in Christchurch.

R. M.

So lucky to have this as my local Maccas, staff are always so friendly, polite and professional and the food is always awesome and tastes so fresh. Visited sooooo many McDonald's around the world and this is the best by far👌

N. S.

Awesome mcd, quick service , good quality mcd and spacious ambience 24 hours driveway threw Morning to night till 11 pm cafe opens

O.

It's ok sometimes staff are a bit rank

S.

There thick shakes are to die for yes I love the chocolate one yummy

C. B.

We love the groynes... Orienteering, fishing, biking, playgrounds and picnics all in one lovely place:)

P. B.

Very good service. They apologised for being short staffed, but you would not have noticed. Loved the way the team seemed to be encouraging each other

C.

Great service, staff member was friendly

A. P.

Good place to dining with kids. The indoor playground was contained and safe for all children. Foods were delivered to table and was correct and staff was polite . Will recommend.

S. L.

The playground is of the smaller format but the freedom of 'endless' selection of drinks makes this outlet a pleasant one!

A. N.

I absolutely love eating here. Just moved to Christchurch and it's close to my work. Inspite of having many other restaurants around this place doesn't feel like usual fast food because of its exceptional customer service. All the staff is very friendly and welcoming at any hour of the day. It opens at 6am which is very good for the days when I need a great good breakfast. Looking at the staff working hard all the time shows the dedication and commitment to work even if it's such a hard job. We need more of McDonald's like this one.

L.

Excellent environment for our meeting Helpful and happy staff Food always good

M.

No waiting get what you want and get out fast and easy

T. B.

Despite some order confusion - top class food & service. All three items well done, not always easy at the same time. Keep up the great work McD's :)

R. C.

Only had fries and the staff were so friendly and the chip were fantastic, I will definitely be going back to this McDonald's again, I can't wait to see if the other food and service will be as good as I received today. Top marks McDonald's Sydenham

C. J. D.

Food was really good, hot and fresh. Easy to order using kiosk and friendly staff. Plenty of parking too.

P.

Great for a McDonald's fast food place

E. N.

Had a great time adding some Mc to our flurries and munching on some crunchy nuggies with Daisy

R. M.

I hate mc Donald's and don't know why kids love this americanizium so much better burgers at local burger bar ...yeah must be old fashioned ..kids liked it not that they say really ...just eat

J. J.

It's micky ds you know what your getting. Nothing more nothing less. Begger at entrance was a put off but they have no control over this.

S.

simple easy drive through

A. S.

Always a busy place, but also always clean and tidy and staff friendly. Was disappointed that kiosk terminals had all run out of receipt paper.

A.

It's one of the better ones

S.

Nice clean restaurant, service was good as well

M.

One of the better McDonalds in christchurch

O. D.

The restaurant is good but the drive-thru never seem to get it right. On two different occasions I've ordered a Chicken Mc Cheese with a black tea for the drink, and twice have received a Mc Chicken with a white tea for the drink. The order wasn't repeated back to me or put on the screen to check either....

B.

Ordered some nuggies and took a McDump

P.

Drive through line can easily extend on to the street

M.

Great friendly service!!!!!! Thank you MvDonalds!!!!!!!!!

C. W.

I normally get a coffee but my last few have not been to great. Normally clean. friendly staff Just another Macca's really.

T. S.

I can safely say that this is hands down the best place to go when it’s 3am and you’ve just dropped your phone down the drain grate and the barman kicked you out because you tried to table suck the left over alcohol on the bar and somewhere along the way you lost your left shoe. But yeah I recommend the 20pk of nuggets and a chocolate shake.

A.

I go through the driveway a lot and it's good but can be a bit messy inside

B. M.

Decent Macca's. Would have been a three as there was liquid scattered around everywhere that had not been cleaned up, but the customer service was very good so it got bumped up a little.

N.

Maccas are always a great place to eat, catch up on messages etc.. Thankyou.

P. L.

The food was as you would expect from McD's, I can't fault the overall quality or prices. There were several mistakes with our orders - they were totally OK with replacing the incorrect items. My major concern was the play equipment... Some of it was drastically in need of cleaning. Children could squeeze around the back of some places (I doubt an adult could), and some of those areas I could only describe as terrible - these were clearly visible behind a glass wall beside our seats.

H.

Like a maccas are , nothing special

L. S.

Staff were very helpful and sorted out our order.

M.

Great coffee this morning. Food was fresh and hot. Well done

T.

That McDonald is a wonderful place to going for a Afternoon Tea and have Drinks too

S.

Ordered 2 breakfasts and got 2 breakfasts 🙂

R.

Great coffee and very helpful staff.

L.

Staff not the Friendliest of the Macdonald's restaurants. Felt as though I was a bit of a hindrance to their personal banter.

S. L.

Clean restaurant with efficient and polite staff. Would visit this store again

J. P.

Columbia st get your act together 1130pm a queue out to the street & longer Friday night in the city. Beef up the staffing for a couple of hours good service gets good word of mouth but wait g for 15 mins in a line just a tad tiring esp when you're the only one open south/west side of town. Big orders mean big spenders but won't be going back unless service picks up. I'll find a BK closer to me.

D.

Always cheerful and polite. Food is always yummy!

M.

Lovely place Friendly staff Clean tables Toilets are clean beautiful enjoyed every moment

V. H.

An exceptional coffee! Lots of flavour! Very friendly staff.

L. R.

Well they messed up my order once, yet they quickly rectified it and handed me primo vouchers. This one is generally reliable, so it's four stars by just

P. D.

Great customer service and positive attitude. Order was made perfectly with no time to waste

M.

Always accurate with my drive thru order ❤️

A. R. (.

Kiwis...love hot pools rugby balls McDonald's snapper schools world peace Wooly fleece Ronald and raising beasts. Chilly bins cricket wins fast skis golf tees silver ferns kauri trees KIWI BURGER LOVE ONE PLEASE 10/10

A. R.

Awesome, unlike the rude unfriendly moorhouse store they let you bike through the drive through if there's no cars and you behave responsiblly and keep to the side. Love it thank you so much

H. V.

Good as far as maccas goes we do try and avoid this particular store when it comes to milk shakes they seem to always have no flavor...

Clean, well kept and friendly staff.

K. d.

L. P.

women's toilets were dirty and had horrible food smell. One didn't flush properly so you had to flush before using it! It was around 9am so there was no reason for it.

H.

My favourite Maccas

S. B.

Been there a million times... The food is always upto mark and the staff is super amazing... ! The drive through is fast and effective
