>> No.16951772

When you order it, you *must* specify that you want it made fresh. It's a thing of beauty when it comes right out of the fryer, piping hot, with crispy batter and steamy fish. If it spends 1 moment in the warming tray its ruined. Eat it immediately.
Extra cheese is a massive scam, they charge you for a full slice, but only give you an extra half slice.

I'M GOING TO WALK INTO MCDONALDS AND I'M GOING TO ASK FOR "A LARGE QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE/BACON MEAL, WITH SWEET TEA, AND A FILET O FISH, FRESHLY COOKED WITH DOUBLE CHEESE, ON THE SIDE".

Every Mcdonalds I go to has a kitchen layout where the cook station is separated from the sandwich assembly station and they load the cooked patties into plastic yellow trays on one side, and take them out on the other.
Pretty sure they cook up a bunch of patties in batches in anticipation of rush hours.
>>16951781
I've never gotten so much as a dirty look making that request, it's really no imposition to them, they just toss a frozen one in the fryer and you have to wait 5 min. They were probably going to have to do that anyway, but it's not worth taking the chance.

This guy gets it.

It truly is a nice sandwich. Especially so because it is a rather big change from the normal hamburger and chicken sandwich fare that we are all used to eating.

When I was younger I recoiled at the idea of a fish sandwich from McDonald's but I still remember the first time I had it circa 2002 on a Friday when I decided to throw caution in the wind and get the Filet-O-Fish McDeal. Was it life changing? I wouldn't go quite this far but it certainly was an eye opener.

No, it might not be my usual or even a frequent companion in my car, but the Filet-O-Fish holds a special place in my heart. The soft steamed bun is like a heavenly pillow that holds a perfectly crisp and flaky patty of sustainable Alaska pollock. The tartar sauce is impeccable with just the right amount of tanginess and the perfect creamy companion to the patty; it really does tie everything together. Cheese on fish? I wasn't a believer either but that slice of processed cheese, invariably perfectly melted like you see in the ads, is a nice addition. Possibly superfluous, I can't say for sure because I've only had one with cheese, but I have faith that the McDonald's creators knew what they were doing when they added it; they tend to perceive the gestalt of each menu item in a way that most of us simply cannot.

I am a fan of juxtaposing textures and I concede that the Filet-O-Fish does not have a contrasting crunch to balance the impossibly soft steamed bun and generous helping of tartar sauce. But you know what? It works. God knows why but it works, it really does. I sometimes alternate bites with their world famous fries, refreshing every so often with an ice cold Diet Coke that cleanses my palate and readies me for the next delightful bite.

For me, it will always be the McChicken. But when I'm feeling adventuresome or just want a change from the usual perfect sandwich, I go for the Filet-O-Fish.

I've never had the Double Filet-O-Fish nor really had the urge to try. I feel like the bun:fish ratio is already perfect and wouldn't improve with an additional patty. If anything, I'd rather have TWO Filet-O-Fish sandwiches.

But maybe one day I'll try the Double.

I have never had double cheese. To be honest, I think it is completely unnecessary and an overly cheesy fish sandwich sounds wholly unappealing. I really think the McDonald's creators knew what they were doing when they added half a processed cheese slice: it does not dominate the sandwich rather it takes a rearguard position and reinforces the taste and texture without overwhelming or making itself conspicuous. It might not be organic or romantic but you know this sandwich went through many iterations and tastings before being perfected and that half slice isn't an accident.

For me, the Filet-O-Fish doesn't need double cheese or double fish or any other bells and whistles. It is what it is and I can't imagine enjoying it any other way.

Even my comment about enjoying the juxtaposition of textures and half-wanting a crunch factor in the sandwich should be revisited. If I had my druthers would I want a crunchy aspect to the sandwich? I'm not so sure. Any other fast food joint would have a massive, oversized fish patty that was double battered and fried until crunchy and that would be the expected status quo, especially during the contemporary era involving the infamous Chicken Sandwich Wars. But so what? If I want fish and chips I'll get fish and chips. The Filet-O-Fish brings something different to the table, which is why it is the dark horse of not only the McDonald's oeuvre but the whole fast food landscape.

When I hear someone denigrate the Filet-O-Fish I automatically ask if they've ever had it. Almost every time the response is a resounding no followed by "and why would I" or something to that effect. I get it, I used to be a blind naysayer too. All I can say is next time you're at McDonald's, take a leap of faith and try the Filet-O-Fish. I have a feeling you just might be pleasantly surprised.

I mean every word, I've thought about this a lot.

I'm ashamed to say that I even used to insult my friend who would get the Filet-O-Fish for Friday's McDeal. He would insist that it was good and I would always ask "then why don't you get it any other time? You only get it went it is the Friday McDeal, no other time. You only like it because it's cheap." Boy, was I ever wrong. I was young and brash and thought I knew everything about everything back then. Well, part of growing up is being humbled and learning what you don't know and I can say that I did a bit of growing up and a lot of learning during the summer of 2002, when I ordered my first Filet-O-Fish with more than a little trepidation. I learned that you can't judge a book by its cover, can't knock something you haven't tried and that sometimes you need to give the underdog a shot before discounting them.

I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I instead decided to pay a couple bucks extra for my stalwart, the McChicken combo, instead of putting myself on the line and testing fate. Would I be the same man I am right now? It's really hard to say. I'd hazard to say yes but who knows, maybe I would have stayed in my cocoon and continued to be afraid of leaving my comfort zone. Maybe I wouldn't have gone away to college and instead stayed at home and worked for my father, choosing the path of least resistance because I was adverse to change. Then I wouldn't have met my future wife, who in turn taught me the joys of dipping fries in McChicken Sauce, and had my children, those little rascals who may not know who The Hamburglar was but call me The Naughty Fry Guy when I try to sneak a few of their fries from their Happy Meals. Would my life be unrealized if I kept on the safe path, ordering McChicken after McChicken with the odd Big Mac to spice things up? Would I be still living with my parents instead of striking out on my own, facing what life throws at me knowing I will persevere?

I didn't sneak it in, it is obvious that McDonald's in North America and Europe have difference sources for many items including preferences for regionally sourced ingredients for both practicality and economic reasons (not just cost but supporting regional economies instead of having everything American sourced).

Sorry dawg, totally forgot my gameplan and made the mistake of going to Burger King on my way home from work. I got the Southwestern King, fries, Diet Coke (they gave me a Coke, fuckers) and 10 pc chicken nuggets. As I was entering the parking lot I thought "why am I doing this, you know it'll be shit" but had completely forgotten about the McFish.

Southwestern burger was complete garbage. Halfway through I took one of the patties out and threw it to a seagull. It was so subpar I didn't even want those calories, they weren't worth it. Fries were terrible and I finished maybe half before throwing it to the seagulls (by this time a couple more had appeared). Chicken nuggets were complete shit and I ate 4-5 and threw the rest to the seagulls.

Poor seagulls, they didn't deserve to eat this trash food.

>Extra cheese is a massive scam, they charge you for a full slice, but only give you an extra half slice.
I've always gotten an extra full slice when ordering extra cheese for the filet o fish, but I think that's too much cheese for the sandwich anyway. You are definitely right about ordering it fresh.

Unless it was changed recently IIRC fish is "good" for an hour, so if you order a filet there's a chance you're getting a 60 minute old patty (or even older).

I had a retarded new worker actually argue with me once about what constitutes as "fresh" after ordering a fish meal made fresh. I could see the crew's order monitor behind her and could see she didn't push the "make to order" button, or even turn around and tell the cook to make it fresh. When I told her I wanted it fresh she gives me some faggot PR bullshit about how the food is "still fresh" and "still good" for XX minutes and I have to explain to her like I'm talking to a retard that I want a new one taken out of the freezer and cooked now rather than one that's been sitting out for 45 minutes.

Eventually I had to just yell to the cook to make it fresh for me since an arrogant teenager thinks arguing for 5 minutes is more conducive to her job and my customer experience than just pushing a fucking button.

Yes. The bun steamer exists solely for the filet buns. Nothing else uses it, and in the 5+ years I worked at McDonald's I've never seen anyone request a steamed bun for a different sandwich. If the steamer was busted for whatever reason they just got regular toasted buns instead.

If they're not retarded it wouldn't be a pain in the ass for them, there's buttons to add anything to any sandwich, including filet patties. A double filet, substitute mac bun, add lettuce, add pickles, add onions, etc. would be cheapest. If you order a big mac and substitute filets they're going to charge you for each patty and it'd probably end up being 3 or 4 dollars more than it should.

OP back again. Went to wendys but the location I went to didn't have it and I'm not willing to go to every one in the state to see. They had it on their location's online menu so idk how I could find one except through trial and error. Regardless, I ordered a dave's single combo (medium), with a bourbon bacon burger single on the side to try out. Apparently the guy in front of me ditched it so they charged me for his meal on accident, then I clarified that I got [enter my meal here] and they were like "oh..." and then they closed the window on me. A few moments later they came out and asked me for my order again, which I gave, this time saying "I got the bourbon bacon burger" assuming they'd be able to see the full order on the thing from that. I admit this was my fault. They then gave me a bag a few moments later with one burger in it and said I was all set. I told them again that I had the [enter meal here] and they were like OOOOOH because apparently they misinterpreted me as having said that I wanted just a bourbon bacon burger but I had to reiterate that I also wanted my dave's single combo.

I got my food and left and the bacon bourbon burger was really good but it wasn't the best service.
Also, I don't really like wendy's buns. They're too doughy. The dave's single as well had too much liquid in it, both from the sauces they put on there and the tomatoes, it's a bit of a mess. Think I'm gonna stick with BK for now.

For me, the McChicken might not stand out as the flashiest sandwich or anything but it does stand the test of time. It is the stalwart workhorse that is always there for you and never gives anything less than 110%. Sure it’s been dabbling in some fads lately, they’re trying to dress it up and make it something it’s not, but we all know that’s not the real McChicken.

Perfectly toasted bun, all white meat patty with perfect texture and seasoning, chopped iceberg lettuce to deliver a balanced taste of freshness and texture without overwhelming the sandwich. And of course the McChicken Sauce. It’s not mayo, it’s McChicken Sauce. It’s the linchpin that really contributes to the gestalt of this truly wonderful sandwich. Whether it is a snack, lunchtime or dinner item or - dare I say - late night indulgence, the McChicken stands above the rest if only because it is always there for you and is consistently satisfying. The perfect balance of seasoned umami that fills you up so profoundly that it’s almost like our stomachs have a McChicken-shaped compartment that can only be filled by this modern manna.

While the chicken sandwich war rages on the McChicken stands alone. I’d say it was the winner but it was the winner decades before the battle was even conceived. It IS the chicken sandwich, it’s that simple

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

I actually might have, it's been so long I can't remember. If I did I didn't make a big deal about it cuz I knew the manager from working there in the past, and I knew I was getting my food cooked fresh like I asked for anyway. She was a teenager fresh out of highschool getting her first job because mommy and daddy said so. One of my coworkers that still worked there at the time told me she spent her breaks in the bathroom playing her 3DS. Kids like that don't last very long regardless, and the manager can't fix an 18 year old's shitty attitude anyway.

This was like 3 or 4 years ago probably, it just stuck with me cuz it's the only time I've had fast food staff argue about an order, and it was basically over the amount of effort necessary to push a single button.

I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette. She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas, which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

BIg Mac is good. Big, good sandwich. It's not like the other mcburgers. They put something special on it, like mayonnaise or something. It's pretty good, tastes good. It has more bread in the middle, which is what a burger really needs, when you get right down to it.

Bottom line, good burger. Pretty expensive, but good. Eat one sometime, with fries.

To be honest, the Big Mac is a bit of an anomaly to me. It is obviously McDonald’s most famous and popular offer but I order it somewhat rarely. I am not sure why it isn’t my go-to meal but the McChicken, Quarter Pounder and even the deceptively modest Cheeseburger begs my attention. I even order the Filet O’Fish more than the Big Mac.

That said, the rare time I order a Big Mac almost inevitably results in an enjoyable experience. I find it can be quite variable and range from satisfactory to almost transcendent. While at first it seems to be a gimmick (solely because of the three-part bun) it really is greater than the sum of its parts. I find a Double Cheeseburger to be less enjoyable than a regular Cheeseburger: it lacks balance. Yet does another bun section elevate the Double Cheeseburger to a Big Mac? Of course not, it’s a laughable premise.

The Big Mac is an exceptional harmony of meat:bun, everyone knows this and it is its major selling point. Yet the condiments are what make it truly stand out: the minced onions offer a delicate sweet-sharp flavor that goes perfect with the generous helping of special sauce, which truly deserves its moniker. The special sauce is savory, tangy and sweet and is counterbalanced by both the minced onions and salty acidic contrast of the pickle slices. Shredded iceberg lettuce might seem pedestrian but it offers a finely crunchy texture and refreshing, cool feel that ultimately brightens what could be a heavy, unwieldy sandwich if imperfectly executed. The American cheese slices are a given but do not go unnoticed and the patties of course deserve little description: they are sublime.

Taken together, the assembly of the Big Mac is evidence of intense contemplation and execution. The layering is truly fantastic especially since the condiments immediately resting on the bottom bun result in your tongue being immediately welcomed by a textural and flavorful explosion as it makes its way through the fresh, soft bun. The mouthfeel is exquisite especially when the McDonald’s crew members are unsparing with the special sauce, which in my experience is almost always.

The Big Mac is invariably a messy affair because of the special sauce and shredded iceberg lettuce but that adds to the fun of the experience. After dining on a Big Mac, who doesn’t love to scoop up the fallen iceberg lettuce ribbons from the container and enjoy this natural invigorating palate cleanser? It is a ritual known all over the world and prepares you for starting (or finishing, depending on your eating styles) the world famous fries next. I even sometimes endearingly call it “car confetti” because of its propensity to decorate my car only to be found days or weeks later.

No, the Big Mac is not in my top 4, heck maybe not heaven in my top 5, but that’s because I’m too enamored by the McChicken, Cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder (and its promotional variations) and the Filet O’Fish. But when the mood suits me I’ll get a McChicken combo and a Big Mac on the side and it’s always almost enough to convert me. And why wouldn’t it? It is the keystone offering of McDonald’s, the radical classic that rewrote the hamburger and still holds up all these years later.

I know my views might seem provocative or even shocking to many of the Big Mac fanatics out there. But all I can say is kudos to you and maybe tomorrow I’ll see you at the drive thru. You can watch me order my usual and hesitate before saying “and a Big Mac on the side, please” as I shake my head and smile to myself.

I’m too much of a traditionalist to venture into Spicy McChicken territory for very long but I am very much partial to the Quarter Pounder with Cheese (QPC). The peppery patty is perfectly seasoned and the onion slivers distinguish it from other McDonald’s menu offerings. I must admit that at times the loss of the Angus Third Pounders collection is the biggest travesty of this pandemic, but in reality they were often quite dry. The QPC, on the other hand, is almost always perfect. While I enjoy the Big Mac special sauce, perhaps it is the combination of mustard, ketchup and slivered onions, and the patty of course, that keeps me going back to the QPC.

Having McDonald’s staff getting a little too familiar is something that bothers me as well so I alternate between four different McDonald’ franchises that are all within a 20 minute radius off my house. Just because you recognize me that doesn’t give you the right to comment on my order, or what time of day I’m eating my meal today as compared to yesterday. Nor does it mean I’m interested in discussing what I was doing before entering, or what I will doing after exiting the McDonald’s restaurant at which you are currently employed. I really wish the McDonald’s organization would provide their staff with better directives with regards to what are appropriate, and inappropriate, topics of conversation in which they may engage their customers. Not only would this make they dining experience more pleasant for the customer, but i also believe this type of skill would prove to be invaluable the the McDonald’s team member herself as she progresses through her life and moves up to other professional settings.

crispy chicken will never spend 45 minutes in a warming tray. At least not officially. Shouldn't be more than ten minutes or you're risking food poisoning.
