Mcdonald's - Chester-le-Street

The restaurant offers a safe and clean environment with a friendly atmosphere. You can choose to dine in, use the drive-thru, or take your food to go, all served fresh and hot. The staff provides service with a smile.

I work at McDonald's in Aydın, Turkey, and my friend is visiting Washington this summer. I want to be there with her. Could the McDonald family possibly accommodate me in the U.S. for three months? This could be a historic first for McDonald's. Thank you!

I find the parking situation quite unsafe. It appears there isn't anywhere to park and enjoy your meal. We just visited, and our order wasn't prepared completely, so we had to wait at the last window. I was a bit anxious with cars pulling out behind us since there wasn’t much space. A few came really close to hitting us. We ended up waiting for four McFlurries, and although we had our hot food in the car, we had to wait nearly five minutes.

It's McDonald's... Everything is okay, nothing really good or extraordinary. You have vegan options here, which is beautiful. Eating is okay, staff are usually friendly, drive thru can be pretty busy and so the interior can. They are often understated, but it has been fine lately.

A mixed bag... From my admittedly numerous visits and orders from this branch, bang average springs to mind. Most of my orders are decent though chips are nearly always undercooked, some cold in the middle at times. Sometimes the burgers have no flavour whatsoever, literally nothing. Not even a hint of meat nor anything else which os strange. Saying this, you then get the orders where chips are bang on, crispy and salty, and the burgers actually taste of something other than being caked in whatever sauce is meant to be on them. I've found that nuggets are always consistently good though but I'm just one bloke and I might just be getting lucky or unlucky with orders sometimes. I also know how busy it can get at times because it is between Barmston and Concord so the odd order may be wrong or not be done properly.
