A friend of mine owns a McDonalds just north of Boston. They are NOT taking the BM off the menu. False rumor.
I don't like McDonalds. The food is dry and tastes bad. Your comment about them not taking the BM off the menu was spot-on.

thats why they dump 15 pounds of French fries in the bag.

5G opened up for the first time in my town 6 months ago and had it for the first time about a month ago.

Excellent burgers but I thought the fries were overated

the Texas Tommy is a Great

My one gripe about Five Guys is 1 burger really isn't a lot of food but 2 would be too many (even the little ones that is a lot) and there is nothing else on the menu so your just kinda stuck. They gotta add a few things to the menu or something.

Although clearly their business plan works for them. Keep it simple..

And no ranch. How do you not have ranch?

McDonald's is a non-issue for me, even when I get the rare craving for fast food... Now, Wendy's? That's a whole different animal.

The Lobster Roll is only available at participating restaurants in New England and Canada for a limited time. (McDonald's)


Lobster is a luxury seafood delicacy and it has no place at McDonald’s.
That’s what some are saying after the fast food chain announced it was bringing back the McLobster after a decade's-long hiatus.
Under a newly minted name of Lobster Roll, it’s only available at participating restaurants in New England and Canada for a limited time. It’s made with North Atlantic lobster, mayonnaise, topped with lettuce on a freshly toasted roll and clocks in at a mere 290 calories, fewer than many other fast-food options. At $8.99 it’s a steal, compared to New England lobster shack prices that are usually $15-$25.
But already food bloggers are complaining that Mc’D’s version is filled with “filler” lettuce and way too much mayo.
"The limp bun holds a bizarrely large amount of lettuce, both shredded and whole-leaf, neither of which is anything more than filler," Eater food blogger Adam Callagan wrote.
Another reviewer in Canada called the sandwich "revolting."
"The expiration date read 8/30 3:25 pm. By my watch only three hours until the roll would be rotten."
The move has been seen as an attempt by McDonald’s to compete with other fast food chains such as Shake Shack and Chipotle. But amid the falling price of lobster, the roll has the fast food giant at odds with some foodies.

Easterbrook said these changes were a way to bring about improvements to the company that has been suffering from slumping sales. “The company is seeking "progress over perfection. If we want everything to be just right, we'll never quite get there. So let's get out there and try things, let's test things. We can fail fast and spot the successes and scale fast.”
So would you eat lobster at McD's? Let us know.

i have not been to mcdonalds in yrs and i try now to eat healthy, they are very bad imo stay away at all costs

You're not alone... McDonalds near my office is nearly empty at lunchtime while the Chipotle's on the other side of the parking lot has lines out the door.

McDonalds earnings are declining about 20% year over year. They need to make some radical menu changes and soon.

Yeah but then he's have to think of another topic to draw attention to himself, like "What length do you guys like to cut your toenails?" or some crap like that.

Hey, did you guys hear Pizza Hut is pulling pizza from its menu?

no, but the i-hop has dropped pancakes are now serving char-broiled burgers and fries.
