This mcdonald’s is most DEFINITELY a mixed bag. Firstly the staff who welcomed myself and my little granddaughter into the establishment was lovely. Angela is a sweetheart and treated us with care and respect…but then, we ordered at the machine and the lack of receipt was APPALLING. At this outrage i trotted over to the til, where the other worker showed not as much love for the gig as Angela had (big up). Food was hella meh but vibe was poppin. Me and the mandan finna be here every wednesday at 2 o’clock after the bingo. Angela best be there, if not then the rest can be square. Peace love tekkerz. Much love to the big man upstairs. Euan

Manager serving was a bit dour. Confusing signs on door indicating that the restaurant was closed. Printer out of order. The restaurant was clean. Coffee was good.

I have seen the reviews for this McDonald's but never experienced the same issues. I actually felt sorry for the staff because we visited just before a Scotland game and it was mobbed. I queued for about 30 mins for my food but there were simply so many people waiting for food. My order was correct and I enjoyed my burger as I always would at McDonald's. I even managed to nab a bench outside to eat at.

I find McDonalds food can be variable, however breakfasts are usually good. I had a bacon and egg McMuffin and carton of milk. Milk was chilled and the food hot and very tasty. Whilst in the car park the restaurant got a delivery and I was pleased to see that McDonalds now recycle all their old cooking oil.

Ordered a black coffee. Managed to get it 19 minutes later. Great craic. Two weeks prior, went in and ordered a bacon McMuffin. Received a sausage one instead. How you bottle it like that with myself and one other customer in the building is actually impressive. That's okay I'll keep coming back and eating and drinking that garbage as I have zero self-respect.
