Recently had a 1/4 pounder meal. I had not ordered a 1/4 pounder meal in a long time. They used to be great, but now they are horrible.
The fries sucked and the burger was dry and tasted like cardboard.
Changing the cooking oil and changing the cooking instructions to make sure everything is cooked into leather for liability reasons seems to be the biggest problem.
They also have recently raised the price on some of the menu items by 30-100% in my area.
This makes a McDonalds combo meal price on parity with many sit down restaurants and actually more expensive than their competitors.
All the restaurants seem to be raising prices, probably because they are being hit with the hidden costs of the all of the destructive legislation passed by Obama and the Democrats 2009-2001 time frame starts to filter through the economy
We used to eat at Macs quite often. Not anymore. Their frys used to be the best. They are now cold and soggy. All over Southern California it is the same; soggy french fries. Instead of redoing their menu they should just fix what they have. Adding new hamburgers will not fix the soggy fries.
