Reviews of McDonald's Hastings

n.

Outlet looks ok clean and tidy. Staff refused or in other words directed me to self order when I wanted to order at the counter. May be due to covid I guess. Drive through operates. McCafe is operating. Onsite parking available. If u r after a 24x7 operating junk food outlet, Mc is the only choice as far as I know.

L.

Disappointed with Macca's atm. I asked for a chicken almighty with No Lettuce! The grill slip even says no lettuce!! And still they put it in. I also asked for a coke no ice! And they put ice in. I know everyone is under staffed due to covid but please read the grill slips!!

K.

The Hastings restaurant is continuously busy especially the drive-thru which normally has 10+ in the order queue, despite the workload the staff manage to keep the limes moving in good time. Fulfilled orders very rarely contIn mistakes and the staff are patient and friendly

T.

Nice set up with friendly staff keen to help. Hot Fries and Burgers with free drink refills are always good for me. Will happily revisit on my next visit to the bay.

S.

The staff are friendly and the meals generally taste as expected and are on time (apart from the drive thru but this is understandable in the current situation). Keep up the good work :-)

A.

My first time I go McDonald's buying some food for my family, they looks lovely and smile to everyone go there order some food and respect, good service

L.

They ok. Drive thru long so I went inside. Got a burger. Not impressed. I've added photos of my lettuce. It was old. Yes sure it's a hot day. But gee.

H.

Was very pleasant considering the environment we are in the moment, this is our favorite place to be at when it comes to eating out. Usual Mds quick service and served with a smile.

l.

KFC is better no cap

K.

Enjoy my meals, only problem is the wait time for food, otherwise good service, restaurants kept reasonably clean. Drive through very slow & don't always get my food that I've ordered when this happens I've got to go back around drive through again very annoying otherwise not too bad.

A.

I must say that the staffing here is off the hook! Prompt efficient an friendly. There are lots of staff on and all are busy. Cleaning tables delivering food and wiping and cleaning surfaces. There's even a person to help with kiosk orders. I'm very very impressed. Lines are moving quickly and food is made promptly. Well done Hastings McDonald's!

Z.

One time like ageeeeesssss ago I got a whole other order in my bag so I was like "ight, dis place meke as"

T.

Bit of a wait the Kai hot tasty to my likeness Yummy 2hot chocolate to go with it

G.

Was packed but flowed well Lol not really a gripe but all of our Monopoly tabs on all food boxes were removed before we got the food, budget haha

T.

Friendly staff at the entrance and same yummy McDonald's food.

J.

Never had problem or bad experience there, definitely go again, kids favourite!

K.

Besides the long wait in the drive thru.Food was hot and fresh 👌

T.

Even though it is super busy at times.They still give decent customer service.

a.

Looked packed in drive thru but the line was fast going

K.

Excellent service. Had to wait for cafe coffee at drive through. Young lady came out quickly, coffee was fantastic and her customer service was excellent.

W.

Great service. Great food

L.

Place was clean and tidy staff polite food great

s.

I think they charge too much but it's still popular for whatever reason.

L.

Went through the drive through for our granddaughter, it was a massive wait,

J.

I like that when the manager their at hastings mac donalds os on the burgers and chips are always hot

A.

A nice breakfast meal to prepare for a long day of touring Hawkes Bay, located next to a busy Pak nSave supermarket

G.

Lovely service, premises very clean and tidy, food arrived quickly and was excellent. Only downside was the toilet door had no English language or the male and female picture symbols. This country is multi cultural but this would be useless for tourists

A.

Nice long wait but hey I was hungry

n.

Probably the best macs in the country. Chips are always hot off the line and even tho VERY busy all the time orders are pumped out regardless. Dunno how they're doin it but keep doin it well

A.

For fast food it's great. Good value for money. Just don't order coffee, more often than not it's burnt

B.

Not too bad, though alot of grease on burgers buns

p.

Was okay - coffee was weaker than I'm used too but the food was normal

L.

quick service staff friendly to two aged ladies. doing their jobs....? tables after customers not wiped just rubbish taken away

T.

Idk why but why doesnt the hawkes bay do steam buns? And the rest of the country does? is it just pure laziness? I mean you steam filet o fish but cant meet the needs of the customer??

J.

Only popped in to use the toilets and they were disgusting. Alerted the staff to the issue and was fobbed off as they were 'busy'

G.

Yummy B&E Mcmuffin Hash brown's are good

C.

Can't complain u get what u pay for and it's a long wait because there always training newbies. On the plus side food is hot which is great as other maccas I've been to have served cold.

Q.

Good Quick Reliable Restaurant Experience Satisfied with Cleanliness bit more Effeicient than Havelock North in terms of Service and speed and interaction as I requested freshly cooked Fries and got them hot and Fresh and the Gourmet Burger was very nice keep it up Hastings

E.

Awesome. The service was great. One of the ladies stoped and had a giggle with me. It was lovely and clean and my order was perfect!

C.

Vaccine pass required to go into the restaurant and dine in.

C.

Vaccine pass required to go into the restaurant and dine.

D.

Was quite busy especially being 11 pm but the food was fresh and well made, not just thrown in the box

B.

All good at the drive thru

S.

Waiting period is longer than usual these days. Cleaner compared to some other McDs. 👍

T.

The food was great and the staff was excellent.

T.

Other than the waiting time for drive through which is normal for all drive-through orders. I always enjoy going in to have meals.

P.

Clean and tidy restaurant, usual menu, friendly staff.

r.

Helpful staff, level 2 restrictions are a bit strange. Only 1 person allowed in the toilets. Well that won't work when a mother has a nappy to change or a young childs safety.

B.

Cadbury McFlurry excellent on hot day

J.

It would be good to get burgers how they are advertised instead of opening your burger box to find you have to reassemble it to eat it and it never would have looked like its advertised anyway.

L.

Drive Thru is much faster than ordering inside. Good Service and I recommend the Almighty Texan BBQ Large Combo - awesome burger.

Y.

Food so good it's an eternity in the drive thru

D.

Food was good, Staff were a bit rude in the drive-thru but you work at McDonald's....Fair Enough.

S.

Lovely at atmosphere and a very safe place for little ones. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of half eaten food left in the playground area. Both wraps we ordered weren't folded correctly making all of the contents spill out. Other than that, place was lovely and staff were very friendly. Will be visiting again!!! :)

J.

This rating is only for one experience there. Doesn't help that it was so busy, no clean tables, 'different' set up and location of things, and the barista wasn't a good one, but someone else redid my drink and it was better. She also gave better service than the other two we had dealt with. Plenty off parking on the road, which was ideal for us. There is a car park, but we needed bigger space.

P.

It's a McDonald's, so it's fast foods done well, and this one is one of the best of its kind that I've visited. Clean and well staffed......good one Hastings!

m.

Abit slack on the chips half full packets.

F.

Very friendly staff in coffee and slice area of Mc Donald's. Plus bonus to be able to order from here main menu.. Seating excellent for casual conversation and catchup. Size of large cup is elephantine. If volume is your buzz then there is not bigger cup I have found anywhere!

S.

Mcdonald's is a treat for us. Service is ok. Staff ok, though some need training re: people skills when on drive thru duty 🤔 None the less one of our takeaways go to places 😊😊👍🎅🤶

D.

customer service is not that good

D.

Had a Grandma and Grandpa birthday treat breakfast with our two youngest grandkids recently. Nicely quiet early visit. Good breakfast for all, good coffee (!) and great fun in the play area. A previous visit about 2 months to a different McD's was not as tidy in the eating area.

G.

The ordering machines helped us to order at our leisure. We chose to have the food delivered to our table and the staff were polite. They didn't have the hokey pokey flavour for the milk shake and so we chose chocolate. The guy who served us was polite. The kids play area is very nice too, but could mean crying kids when it is time to leave. Will visit again.

N.

Nice quick service. The line in the drive through was long but moved quickly. Felt uncomfortable with the bigger person waiting at the end of the driveway

T.

Always get coffee here from the cafe :) staff are usually pretty happy and I haven't had a terrible coffee in a long long time. Place is generally tidy inside. Evenings means there are plenty of tweens &teens loitering round the doors but staff often try to move them along quickly.

J.

Went to Mccafe. No staff when I entered. Girl appeared after I wandered around for a minute or two. Eftpos was down, but handheld quickly available. Nice attendant replaced my ancient coffee cards, said I had a free coffee due, AND clicked my card a few times. More than made up for the few minutes wait. Toilets clean.

B.

Friends meet here at Mc Cafe every week. I have only joined them twice.... I find it noisy and very ordinary, and a pretty boring option, when there are so many cafe's to try in Hastings. Personally, I like to be a little spontaneous and would prefer to try a different cafe each week 😊 it makes life much more interesting.

A.

Too many staff and service is slow.

D.

Staff are friendly and helpful. They are very quick with your order even when they are busy

S.

Always a treat. But happy meals with the books that are for reading ages of a 9 to 10 year old for my 2 and 3 year old are abit silly. They just want a toy. Not a book they can't read or understand

I.

You know what to expect when visiting McDonald's. This place is what you are expecting

d.

Good food service, playground overrun with older kids so we had to take my young granddaughter out of there. Someone should keep a better eye on the play area

J.

Covid restrictions suked but can't help that foods still soild tho maybe a little bit more salt on the fries ;)

S.

It was good to see the tables constantly wiped down after each customer use and the floors constantly being sweeped and moped, was there from 6:30 pm-8:00pm. Food was great as always but it was the good service that made the positive experience.

A.

Food took a while but was worth the wait

M.

Place was quite cleaned, and was being cleaned when I went in. I went after dinner and bought a pack of fries and then a McFlurry. The fries were nice, not too much salt, as there normally is too much. But the McFlurry was lacking in sauce and had probably about 20 m'n'm's. Which was not worth the around $5 ispent on it. And I was left with a simple ice cream in a cup after too long. But for a McDonald's the burgers are generally pretty good. Just a regular old Macca's.

V.

Just a normal visit to get food for drunks at 3 in the morning. 8 cars in front of me. Some dumb drivers not using second lane. Raining in car as you order. Probably making big orders with alterations to menus because my passengers were doing the same. Extra mayo, no gerkin etc. Chick taking orders sounded & then looked tired and over it. Chick handing out food was still obliging and pleasant. Wished us a good night. Sat in line thru whole process of 8cars in front of me for close to 25mins. On average 3-4 mins per car. Meals were hot & fresh. Not bad at that time of night/morning. 4/5

V.

Level 2 Covid. Very well organized and fast easy service

S.

Here for breaky (pancakes and almond milk flat white, always!) With my granddaughter. Clean and tidy, although the play ground could use a good clean!! My only gripe when I come here!!!

D.

Quite slow service but workers are kind nevertheless, and food quality is average .

M.

Was ok but under renovations .. under renovations...

L.

My kitchen being I have been seen every day after work..mc chicken so very good and delicious..cheers.

G.

Service was very good, staff was friendly and very helpfull.

Z.

Mc cafe coffee & hot chocolate has got much better here. Standard McDonald's food

J.

Very impressed with the service at McD's Hastings, fast and efficient. Nicely presented too.

T.

Yummy food when freshly made, prices alright, staff seemed nice enough but quite stressed. I myself wouldnt eat in but takeaways are great.

S.

I do like their coffee and good is usually which and y tasty. The muffin deals are always a winner for me and so is their fruit toast if you're in time for their breakfast menu...

H.

Pretty average McDonalds..... seen the he/she worker go outside for a cigarette and come back inside to work without washing there hands pretty gross

W.

Dog and playground indoors is awesome for the younger kids 👌 could do with AC in the play ground area though

N.

Long wait for the food, Big Mac was cold when I went to eat it.

M.

Not so busy today.still yum food and happy staff

M.

The "BBQ Bacon Whopper" was a huge surprise! And my 95 year old mother enjoyed the experience of the "Long Drop Beef Rodeo" Bodie had a Hersheys Chocolate Pie....CI5 Style...in your face

R.

Good place for stop over if you going out of town trip..

J.

Nice McDonalds a bit small and can feel crowded, although good service and good food. Alright still very average good workers and tidy restaurant.

A.

They still let you fill your own cold drinks.. top up when you leave👍

K.

Amazingly fast service. (When busy)Food is the downside It’s not always fresh specially the fries but their service is quick. I only visit when I’m short on time.

G.

It's ok, usually very busy. Staff were polite and friendly enough. Its a McDonald's, food was fast out of the kitchen. Bathrooms could be cleaner.

P.

Great place for drive thru two ordering lanes was very fast service 👍 and nice staff

M.

Good place take children.friendly staff. They need to have a list of things they have to eat and not to high as I notice quite a few older people havin g trouble ordering as they were puzzled what there was

T.

As always maccas is OK apart from the slack cleaner whom is a Caucasian male on night shift maybe? I feel he needs to stay focused on what he should be doing and less on people around in the restaurant

O.

Disappointed with the service here, under covid level two there was a wait for food with no apology for inconvenience.

J.

Honestly, the BEST McDonald's I've ever had! Soooo fresh!!

G.

Long wait.....and when we got our meal it was abit of a let down. Drinks watered down...cost me a small fortune.

I.

Always busy here, staff are friendly, often struggle to find a seat. Typical McDonald's in every way, the drive through takes a bit of courage to manage.

M.

Clean premises, good service, nice food.

W.

Nice customer service and fast. I will be back again

W.

Was confusing were to park while waiting for meal

B.

Typical McDonald's restaurant, coffee was good and service was quick

D.

McDs is McDs. I dont do McDs at all but looks roomy, open 247. The toilets are always clean when ive been in. Got the McCafe as well, all modern ordering off menu.

J.

Must give credit where credit due...drive through here is so fast and efficient.

J.

Even though the staff were super busy & a car had broken down in the drive thru they were professional and friendly. Food was good & received it quickly.

D.

It's McDonald's what do you expect?

J.

Good place to have a quick meal. There is enough space for car park. Coffee at McAfee is not bad. Its actually better than some of the other coffee shops in hastings

J.

Big mac plus combo and the Coca-Cola..enjoyed it every weekend..in the cornwall park

J.

Usually pretty good

P.

Nice people here good coffee pleasant people serving you with a smile everyone is welcome I dont eat hamburgers I m into healthy food bu when i sometimes break the rules i had a lovely chicken burgers 5 stars here

R.

Well laid-out drive-thru, some of the quickest service I've seen at a McD's. Food is always exactly as you'd expect, never had any nasty surprises in all the years I've frequented this store.

C.

Hastings McDonald's is gr8! Service awesome! But who changed the chocolate in the mochaccino, disgusting!! 🤢 McDonald's head office. Change it back please.

F.

Fast friendly service and freshly made food, however there was no salt on the fries so we threw them out to the birds

G.

very long wait considering it class as fast food

R.

Good place, staff and burgers

M.

Great place to chill with my baby when I have down time free wifi and there's no pressure to move on lol

S.

Staff were not very helpful in allowing us to redeem our monopoly tickets and the 3 Windows were confusing in the drive thru. Reliable menu however.

J.

Slow drive through

h.

Mostly good service everytime we visit, however I suggest training kitchen staff so that they know more about your products as this slows the drive thru experience considerably

J.

Accomodating staff but slow service during evenings

R.

Do not order the mcSpicy. It's not what it use to be.

E.

Nice food

S.

Feels cramped, crowded and ridiculously busy. Great staff kept the wait to a minimum.

F.

Great little maccas

T.

Staff are great, good venue And parking, only faults are the times the drive through has missed my food

Good service. Great place to hang and get work done and have a snack or meal. Even has to the table delivery at times which is great.

J.

Amazing friendly staff, hot food and clean facilities

B.

Really good to see reo Maori used extensively on the internal signage :)

A.

I dropped my wallet outside McDonald's i had to get back to Auckland someone handed it in.I called McDonald's and they had it (lucky me.)A friend picked it up and sent it back to me cheers to see there is still honest people out there.

V.

It's mcdonalds, kids really like it and play room is okay,

A.

Typical McDonald's i guess. Pretty well looked after and i had a good experience so i would expect for you and and everyone else to as well if you decide to pop in for a quick bite to etc.

B.

Meals and service good. The children's playground area is very stuffy. A small suggestion would be to add ventialiation or an air conditioning system.

g.

I'm loving it. But go to Havelock if you want actual FAST FOOD. Hastings is to big for one mcdz

K.

Long lines in the drive through but rather quick service

S.

Great people down there! They actually care and do the best they can to give you the best service and the drive through always moves reasonably fast!

J.

Enjoyable lots of space and comfortable staff are very patient and have the time to greet you with a lovely smile thank you all so much

R.

$1 Hot Chocolte is really worth it .. Customer service is good.. Has a play area which is wonderful option for kids..
