While Burger King was a pleasant surprise, McDonald’s was no surprise at all, and not very pleasant either.

I could taste the potato, I will give it that much. They weren’t very greasy either, another credit. But, there was an underlying taste also. Either they don’t maintain separate fryers for their fries or they need to change the oil in that fryer.

Did I mention that they were like biting into a sponge? That is what the texture reminded me of, bleh.

I have no idea how they manage it every time but I was 10th in line at the drive thru and still managed to get old fries. 10th in line, that is almost a guarantee for hot fries at other places, but not at McD’s. Seems like every time I go there I lose a little more respect for their organization. They are on a media blitz trying to make their image shine yet they let stores like this continue to tarnish their less than sterling reputation.

Final word: For a place that is so popular and famous for their fries, I do not understand how they get away with serving fries like this!
