Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The tables and rubbish around the tables were very untidy..need someone to clean the tables and pick up rubbish..wasn't happening. Toilets had paper everywhere. Once again no one was cleaning them. Not a good experience. I think they forgot our coffees..waited more than 10 minutes....Had raisin toast as well just toasted..was like a piece of bread. Should be smartened up.More

Dreadful service. VERY disorganised. Wrong orders. Things left off orders. No printer working on self service. PUTRID toilets - which included toilet paper all over the floor. Sanitary bin full to the top, with things I most certainly didn’t want to have sitting beside me....A bowl splattered with crap. Pee on the set of another cubicle. Flooded basin. Glass in restaurant FILTHY. Where are the days of having a quick meal in a clean restaurant gone Whoever is the owner and the management of this restaurant need to be called into line.More

This is the dirtiest McDonald’s franchise I have visited on the east coast of Australia in the last 40 years. We visited with our granddaughter for lunch on our way home from Newcastle and won’t ever return. All bins were overflowing with garbage , tables...not cleaned and to make it worse picked up our meal and was missing 2 items. When returning to the counter 2 other customers were returning for same thing. The equipment in the play area was old and needed maintained. Senior McDonald staff should inspect this place and discipline the franchisee.More

I live locally and do not visit when place is super busy, however for a very busy maccas it certainly needs a little more care taken. I have wanted to say something before but I went last night and paid $28 for 2 meals the...lge chips were half filled and stone cold the hamburger were thrown together and meat had been sitting around as this was hard cold and really waste of money. Have purchased McFlurrys for kids and they were quarter full which cost $4.95 each. Not really happy at all......this place needs a visit from someone that could help.More

This would have to be by far the worst McDonalds store in Australia. Cappuccino made without heating the milk and a frozen muffin. Even the manager couldn't heat the muffin. It took 26 minutes from the time I ordered till the time I left. Pathetic.

Absolutely appalling. I was made to wait at the counter for 10 minutes while multiple staff members continued their own conversations and looked in my direction still refusing to serve me. Once I had my food I witness this same thing happen to many other...customers one of whom was an elderly man who was under the impression that all ordering was to be done on the self serve machines purely due to the staff willing to serve. one of the female employees was continuously using her phone behind the counter oblivious to her surroundings. Very unprofessional and frustrating.More

Ordered a double cheeseburger meal and a chicken Burger meal. The Double cheeseburger was smaller than a normal cheeseburger and had been slapped together.About 3 pieces of small onion bits on it which I believe makes the cheeseburger taste better so it was very disappointing....The chicken burger was similar,Tasted very bland,looked like it had been thrown together. The order was made very quickly and this was represented i the finished product. Unfortunately Mcdonalds,the burgers really are better at Hungry JacksMore

When I was a manager at McDonald’s we prided in service, great attitude , cleanliness and customer is always right attitude. Williamtown is the pits as Raymond terrace. They are Rude, seem to serve chips and nuggets that have been sitting in the warmer for...too long and cold food every damn time ! The management have an attitude, and it seems complaints fall on deaf ears at head office. We used to have head office people come to the stores and act like customers and oh boy did the managers get it if not done right. We always looked busy, cleaned and food was replaced after so many minutes of sitting in warmer. These managers and staff act entitled and if u return food, they are rude and wont smile !! Big arse attitudes in my opinion. Hungry jacks absolutely surpasses all ticked boxes for service as never ever seen a unfriendly one yet or willing to apologise if do wrong. The food is better also. McDonald’s has turned to crap, it is rare you see someone doing their job like they like it or at least pretend to.More

The food was not great (as far as McDonalds goes it was average), but my main concern was the state of the bathrooms! My god they were disgusting. They looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months. Made me think how clean the rest of...the restaurant must be.More

Driving out of Port Stephens we stopped for a coffee. First we used the rest rooms which were small and not the best state of cleanliness that Mcdonalds expect. Service was good as was the coffee. They have seating inside and outside.
