Knowing Your McDonalds

Her are just a few facts about McDonalds restaurants that are nice to know when your having a craving for some fresh fries or some chicken nuggets.

Hours of operation- The normal hours of operation at McDonalds restaurants are to open at 5am, 4:30am in some locations and close at or shortly after midnight. In addition many locations, particulary high volume stores are open 24 hours a day.

Breakfast- McDonalds offers many great breakfast choices, whether you are dining in or eating on the go. The Breakfast menu boasts 16 different choices including sandwiches, hotcake and breakfast platters, breakfast burritos and cinnamon melts. The fruit and maple oatmeal is a smart breakfast choice at only 200 calories and served with brown sugar, fresh diced apples and tasty cranberries and raisins.

PLEASE NOTE:: Breakfast is served until 10:30am Monday through Saturday, and until 11am on Sunday. If you show up at 11:15 in the morning hoping for hash browns and a McGriddle to cure your hangover you're going to be disappointed.

Lunch/Dinner- The lunch and dinner menu is exactly the same, and it offers a massive selection of 45 different items. Just some of these choices include the famous Big Mac, the Quarter and Double Quarter Pounder, the Filet-O-Fish, Chicken Nuggets (in 4,6,10 and 20 piece orders), Chicken Selects, the double cheeseburger and McChicken, 4 different 100% Angus burgers, 4 different premium chicken sandwiches with your choice of grilled or crispy chicken, 7 different snack wraps ranging from the Angus bacon and cheese to the grilled chicken and honey mustard, 5 different premium salads with grilled or crispy, French Fries and the mighty McRib. It's pretty hard to go hungry when there is a McDicks nearby haha.

Drinks- McDonalds offers a wide selection of beverages including McCafe style smoothies, frappes and lattes. The smoothies and frappes are made with our natural mocha, caramel or fruit mixes and thoroughly blended with ice into a great tasting treat. Fresh sweetened and unsweetened tea is brewed daily. Their classic triple thick shakes are served in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coffee and depending on the time of the year a seasonal flavor; like shamrock for St.Patrick's day. For regular soft drinks they serve coke products in sizes ranging from 8oz to 32oz. For coffee McDonalds brews Newman's Own organic and it is offered in 8, 12, and 16 ounce cups all priced for only one dollar.

Desserts- For dessert McDonalds offers a wide verity of ice cream snacks, cookies and other treats. For ice cream the McFlurries are the most popular, combining soft serve vanilla ice cream with Oreo Rolo or M&M topping all blended into a satisfying dessert. Their ice cream sundaes are topped with hot fudge or caramel topping and the apple pies are served hot and fresh. For a healthier choice of dessert there is the fruit and yogurt parfait and the caramel apple parfait. Both are served with low fat vanilla yogurt and either apples dices and caramel or blueberries and strawberries and a packet of granola to pour on top.

This was just a little rundown of what McDonalds has to offer it's customers. As someone who has worked there for as long as I have know everything on that menu board by heart. Maybe by sharing this information it will speed up the ordering process in drive-through, but I doubt it. Thanks for reading.

  1. This blog seems pretty alright so far. But I'm dying for some good stories. Like, you guys ever heat up the spatulas and then slap each other with them, in a game of tag?

    Do McNuggets already come as a paste-looking thing (like you see in anti-McD ads) before you deep-fry them?

  2. I'm a bit non-plussed about the "Shamrock Shake", which you referred to as a flavor. What is the actual flavor (it definitely doesn't taste like a mutated clover leaf)?
