You often won’t expect McDonald’s food to be anything more than satisfying. It’s a cheap and quick option to get through the day. But this doesn’t mean you should aim to get the best possible meal if you are already there.

Continue reading to find out some tips that will help you get a better McDonald’s experience.

Fresh Fries

Don’t want half-cold fries that have been sitting around for who knows long? Then simply order yours with no salt. Since McDonald’s usually salts all their fries, they will have to make another batch. If you worry the tip is overused, you can also just ask for the fresh fries straight up. In most cases, you’ll get them.

Fresh Burgers

There is also a way to ensure you get a freshly-grilled burger on the spot. Just order a particular burger without a certain ingredient. For example, you can ask Big Mac without onions or a cheeseburger without pickles.

Better Breakfast Sandwich

Most McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches come with folded eggs that will not get you excited about your meal. However, if you ask for a round egg in your breakfast sandwich, you will get a freshly-cracked egg.

More for Less

If asked nicely, McDonald’s staff will allow you to customize your order by adding or swapping ingredients. This can be used to get more pricey items for cheaper. One popular order is to get a McDouble and ask for Big Mac sauce instead of ketchup. This way, you’ll get a budget Big Mac that will taste just like the real thing.
