Today's lunch

[ETOWNCANUCK]

Running between appointments today has me stopping in to get a quick bite.

Waiting in line to place my order I'm greeted by the restaurant manager.

Have I tried the new kiosk? I'm asked.

No I say but I have heard of them.

If you try it out I'll include the fries and drinks for free.

OK I say

She starts the order on the touch screen

I choose bun , cheese, toppings and condiments.

Finished inputting the selections I pay and she hands me a disk with a table tracker and my order number

I'm told my order will be brought to me and to find a seat.

A few minutes later I'm brought my drink and my meal and was quite surprised by it.

This is McDonald's

Come a long way from the styrofoam containers

The burger was actually decent

[josey]

Seriously? Wow. I haven't been to McD in like 20 years. That's not what I remember.

[Lux604]

I might actually want to try this! looks pretty good for a McDicks burger!

[TROLLER]

Looks like they went down the street to A&W to steal their fry basket

[Astrocyte]

Wow. How much was that meal?

I have been so curious about this build your own burger at McDs. I thought it was just use the regular standard burgers they already had...like add big mac sauce on a normal cheeseburger for variety. I did not know there are better toppings to add. And a better bun, ciabatta?

[----->shooter]

Almost the Same happened for me, suggested I try the kiosk. I started the process then realized that the price of the burger without a meal add-on was almost $10... Each ingredient added cost more, I'm talking lettuce, tomato, the basics. No thanks

[4thredneck]

I was out burning broth piles today, my lunch was Stawnichy's Kubassa cooked over a fire with a piece of homemade bread. The only side I had was mustard.

[DiabeticKripple]

They have really upped their game lately.

They are going more towards a sit down restaurant, with fast food prices and service. I find the food is better too.

Just under $9 and yes a ciabatta bun.
It was quite good

Jeez. I understand it is likely better than their current slop on a bun but for all those add on prices I think I would be going to soda jerks or something to build your own burger.

I think I may still be convinced to give this BYOB a shot at McDs though...just to try it out.

[Bergerboy]

Looks like they are upping their game to compete with better markets. Personally their coffee is my favorite.

[javlin101]

I had a grand soft Taco off the stand in PV for$2.50 and as always it rocked, oh cold beer at the oxo.

I'll take that over McDonald any day.

The released a study on the caffeine content in coffes and McDicks barely any! Brutal.

$9 and they paid for the fries and drink? I think there are way better burger shops around for that price. Personally I prefer my homemade stuffed burger cooked on my smoker but thats just me.
However, I'm sure the kids will drag me through Rotten Ronnies eventually so I will likely try one.

That's funny because this is what I was served today in the same Md's chain.

I got quite hostile, insisting that this was NOT a double cheeseburger!

The large Hutterite lady behind me said that for sure it came from a skinny cow.

I peeled up a corner and, sure enough, there was a second patty hidden there.

Last time feeding under the arches.



The above and a drink $8.20

That is about what you could expect to pay for any one of their burger combos,

But I could choose every aspect of it and yes it was actually quite good

[^v^Tinda wolf^v^]

That looks like a delicious burger! Making me Hungary for some Mcsquirts :sHa_sarcasticlol:
