  Good review. I’ll be trying the bacon burger as soon as I eat a healthy enough breakfast and lunch to justify McDonald’s for dinner. Might take a while.

• 2 Madelyn // Jul 2, 2009 at 6:27 pm

  I love McDonald’s fries. I dream about them sometimes. So tasty and salty and delicious. The burgers, though? Not so great. I usually opt for the nuggets, with buffalo sauce. I am willing to try the bacon cheese angus burger, though. It’s possible my love for bacon will prevail over my apathy for McDonald’s burgers.

• 3 John // Jul 2, 2009 at 6:50 pm

  I really hate McDonald’s; I know it’s not good, and certainly not good FOR me. But damn it, sometimes I have a craving, and only a Big Mac will do. Easily my biggest guilty food pleasure.

• 4 Shawn // Jul 2, 2009 at 7:03 pm

  I remember the Arch Deluxe having bacon but maybe I’m crazy….

• 5 Shawn // Jul 2, 2009 at 7:05 pm

  I’m right. The Arch Deluxe had Bacon.

• 6 Zac Pritcher (Everyview) // Jul 2, 2009 at 7:12 pm

  Man, I HATE you for bringing up Five Guys. I’ve wanted Five Guys for such a loooong time, and I had finally ditched my cravings.

  Man…

  Anyway, good reviews. I used to work at McDonalds, and ever since then I usually can’t seem to make myself eat there. I, like you, made an exception this time and walked away pleasantly surprised.

• 7 Julia // Jul 2, 2009 at 7:55 pm

  I eat more McDonald’s food than I’d like, simply because it’s the only restaurant open on Sundays in my small (pop. 2,000) hometown. I usually stick with the chicken myself, but I’d be willing to give this burger a shot.

• 8 Bear Silber // Jul 2, 2009 at 8:11 pm

  I hear only good things about these three amigos! Glad to hear you liked it.

  Why I love McDee’s? Their McGriddle is more addicting than High School Musical (the original)

  Why I hate the Golden Arches? They make the fat fatter.

  Why I’m indifferent towards the House o’ Ronald? They know what they’re doing and they do it well.

• 9 Jake // Jul 2, 2009 at 8:14 pm

  I’m not big on McD’s anymore–the frequency with which I eat it is almost entirely predicated on its proximity to where I live/work, and right now there isn’t one near either place–but I’ll always have a soft spot for McNuggets and the McRib (when it’s around).

  It’s funny that I haven’t heard anything about these new burgers before now–I remember the last new burger being accompanied by an enormous marketing campaign. Although I guess that’s probably on the way, if this post is any indication. Sounds like a pretty decent product, thanks for the review.

• 10 wouldibuyitagain // Jul 2, 2009 at 8:34 pm

  Another positive review! I really need to get around to trying these.

  Also, MCD should correct the fact sheet. They served Canadian Bacon on Beef Wennington and they served bacon on the McJordan. Both were regional in Chicago in the early 90′s (for McJordan) and the late 90′s for Beef Wennington. Those sandwiches were a QPC+Bacon and BBQ, they were awesome. However, bacon nationally… they are correct, first time.

  “Let it be known to the world: I HATE McDonald’s burgers. Big Mac? More like big crap. McChicken or chicken nuggets, sure sign me up, but McDonald’s burgers are terrible. Burger King and Wendy’s both have far superior burgers. But I’m here to serve you, the readers, not myself, so I trudged over to McDonald’s today with a couple co-workers to give these bad boys a try. Let me say this, and this is no joke: this was the best McDonald’s burger I’ve ever had. Seriously. Ever. I know I just set the bar low in terms of its other burgers, but this easily surpassed them all.”

  Agree 100% with this.

• 13 Betty Ann // Jul 2, 2009 at 10:04 pm

  I don’t even like the SMELL of McDonald’s. Unfortunatley, my husband and kids love it! To me, the flavor of it’s burgers are rubbery and greasy. When we go on vacations where driving is involved, they eat at McDonalds…I don’t eat AT ALL! That’s right, I’d rather GO HUNGRY! But if there is a NEW burger that has a remote chance of tasting nothing like the other stuff on the menu, then I want to try it! It’s my only shot at eating with the family!!

• 14 James // Jul 2, 2009 at 11:02 pm

  Very Dry. First impression is that classical McDonald’s Flavor, but the second thing I noticed was that the sandwich was very dry. The bread is extremely dry for starters and there is no ketchup on the burger which makes it even drier. I was excited to try this burger but not impressed. Hardee’s thickburgers are a superior burger.

  Damn. I haven’t eaten at McDonald’s in forever. I had some about a year ago but even then I was only stealing a few fries from someone. “Super Size Me” helped turn me off of McDonalds and most other fast food, but there are plenty of other reasons why I try to avoid that stuff.

  At least I know there’s something that I might not be highly disappointed in if I did happen to eat there again. The burger doesn’t sound that bad. But there’s no way I’m ever choosing McDonalds over In-N-Out.

• 18 bj // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:19 am

  I actually like McDonald’s, but mostly because it is cheap and I am poor.

• 19 Pa Ma // Jul 3, 2009 at 4:01 am

  My friend had Mushroom and Swiss. I had Deluxe.

  We both said we would order them again. (and we are looking forward to do so).

  This is big to us, as we usually do value menus. We are willing to spend $4 to have these again.

  They also used to have bacon double cheeseburgers years ago. They had that weird round piece of bacon on them. I downed quite a few in high school because they were cheap.

• 23 bruleeblog // Jul 3, 2009 at 12:56 pm

  Interesting… they’ve had bacon cheeseburgers in Canada for quite a few years now. We’ve had the Angus burgers for a few months already too.

  I’m pretty indifferent to McDonalds. I try not to go there often because it really isn’t good for you. I like their McFlurries and can’t help but get a craving for a specific item from time to time. I think the Angus burger looks delicious.

• 26 JamieSusan // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:39 pm

  I’m happy to hear that their burgers have been upgraded from nasty to edible.

• 27 David // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:54 pm

  I love McDonald’s because, where I go to school, they are the only fast food place open 24/7. They’re also cheap, and fairly tasty when you’re desparate to eat something.

• 28 Molly // Jul 3, 2009 at 4:50 pm

  My son works at McD’s and I asked him to bring me one home because I was getting really curious after all the reviews. I’m not a big burger person and really not a McD’s lover but I have to say it was a really great burger. I asked him to make me 1/2 swiss and mushroom and 1/2 bacon & cheese with no mayo. What I got was a bacon cheese burger with mushrooms on 1/2 of it. I thought the bacon was very crisp, loved the red onions and the new pickles are really, really good. For someone who doesn’t like burgers I would eat this again anytime.

• 29 Thistle // Jul 3, 2009 at 6:35 pm

  I’m with you on McDonalds burgers. While I do like their nuggets, I can’t think of one fast food place that I wouldn’t get a burger at before McDonalds… Still, yay coupons for free stuff!

• 30 Raiders757 // Jul 3, 2009 at 7:24 pm

  @ Jason

  The round bacon? Holy crap, that’s more than a few years back. I don’t think McDonald’s has used the round bacon in nearly 15 years. At least not in my area. I don’t recall the bacon cheeseburger you speak of though. I can’t think of a single burger they have ever served to have had bacon on it. Then again, I don’t eat there all that often to have tried all of their burgers in the 39 years of my life, so I could be wrong.

• 31 Insanewiches // Jul 3, 2009 at 8:22 pm

  I just checked out the website. There’s a multiple choice that asks how the size of these burgers makes you feel. The first selection is “That’s so much sandwich, I’m 110% satisfied.” For anyone who’s tried one of these, how filling are they? It seems you’d have to be pretty hungry to down a third of a pound.

• 32 amber // Jul 4, 2009 at 7:31 am

  McDonalds has always had bacon they serve it on the BLT chicken sandwich.

• 33 Raiders757 // Jul 4, 2009 at 1:33 pm

  @amber

  Yes, they’ve always had bacon, but they never promoted a burger with bacon on it. At least not on a national level.

• 34 Jessica // Jul 4, 2009 at 3:57 pm

  I love McDonald’s drinks – only $1 for the largest size! I always buy a large sweet tea on my way to work. I also love chicken mcnuggets.

• 35 Gregg // Jul 4, 2009 at 3:57 pm

  While I hate, HATE, Ha-aaaa-te the burgers at McDonald’s, and as a marathon runner deny myself the fries, cinni-melts and McNuggets(though I hear they aren’t as good as those of my late 80′s/early 90′s memories), I DO like their salads(esp. the Asian) and the Snack raps do in a pinch. The only thing that makes me WANT to go? Shamrock Shake, baby.

  I have mixed feeling for McDonald’s. I hate how processed everything is, but still manage to get cravings for the food. My preferences are limited though Big’N'Tasty is the only burger I eat. I do wish they would bring back the Arch Deluxe! I also have the serious theory they sprinkle crack on their fries since they are so irresistible.

• 40 Miles // Jul 7, 2009 at 10:03 am

  I tried one recently. My burger seemed smaller and not as attractive as in the pictures. It was thin…just wider in diameter. I expected it to be plump like a pub burger. The pickles were nice. It tasted closer to a BK burger than a McDonalds burger. I was not impressed. Even as I prefer BK, I would still not claim that they have good burgers either. Might be this place, but everything was saltier than usual, which was bothersome. Now that I tried it, I know to stay away from it. Remember, curiosity killed the cat.

• 41 tim // Jul 7, 2009 at 10:12 am

  i wholeheartedly agree regarding your opinion on the mcdonald’s burgers. i rarely eat fast food, but when i do, why would i go to McD’s, when BK and Wendy’s are far superior?

  and why has McDonald’s been so reticent to introduce new burgers? BK seems to introduce them every month or something. given that McDonald’s has maintained their edge over BK maybe this is not a bad strategy, but still a bit odd.

• 42 Youppi // Jul 7, 2009 at 10:30 am

  Eick – I don’t mean to poop on your parade, but this is exactly why you need to come to NY more often… These burgers have been on NYC McDonald’s menus for about 2 years now…

• 43 Dave // Jul 7, 2009 at 11:05 am

  I’ve tried them all here in NY. They have been here for years. The deluxe one is great without mayo (they put a ton on) and the bacon one needs a slice of tomato.

• 44 Patrick // Jul 7, 2009 at 3:32 pm

  Yeah, back in the day(last I remember was 14-15 years ago), a number 7 value meal by me was a bacon-double-cheeseburger. I don’t know that they marketed it outwardly, but it was definitely on the menu. It was strange…very crisp bacon, obviously strips, but definitely arranged in a circular pattern before cooking them. It was tasty though.

• 45 Bear Silber // Jul 8, 2009 at 1:23 pm

  Just a note here. This is the ingredients list on the Angus burgers:

  “Grill Seasoning (salt, black pepper) and Angus Burger Seasoning: Salt, sugar, dextrose, onion powder, maltodextrin, natural butter flavor (dairy source), autolyzed yeast extract, spices, garlic powder, vegetable protein (hydrolyzed corn, soy and wheat), natural (animal, plant and botanical source) and artificial flavors, dried beef broth, sunflower oil, caramel color, partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oil, gum arabic, soy sauce solids (wheat, soybean, salt, maltodextrin, caramel color), palm oil, Worcestershire sauce powder [distilled vinegar, molasses, corn syrup, salt, caramel color, garlic powder, sugar, spices, tamarind, natural flavor (fruit source)], beef fat, annatto and turmeric (color), calcium silicate and soybean oil (prevent caking).”

• 46 chris // Jul 9, 2009 at 2:21 pm

  Great burger! I had the Bacon and Cheese and it was delicious. A McD burger w/ red onions and bacon? AWESOME! I wish they would work on their bacon. It is just alright. But its better than Burger Kings’ kerosene soaked bacon that they throw on their sawdust burgers.

• 47 cris // Jul 9, 2009 at 6:52 pm

  don’t know what drew me to get one of these the other day – intrigued b/c Mickey Dee’s already took on the “Southern-style Chicken Sandwich” and Chik-Fil-A head on – I felt like this was a challenge to Hardee’s (much less the other guys). I was crazy surprised at this burger. Maybe b/c the flavor tasted exactly the way my dad would have made it (probably b/c we always had frozen murray’s steak burgers cooked in a frying pan!) but then with fresh veggies…. I am embarrased to be blown away…

• 48 cris // Jul 9, 2009 at 6:54 pm

  Oh, I’m just now seeing the “angus burger seasoning” – dad always mixed in Worchestershire, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper – now I know why it tastes like dad’s!

• 49 Abby // Jul 10, 2009 at 10:55 am

  I was raised on Burger King. Whoppers just taste so much better, but you give a pretty good sell. If I’m ever at a loss for alternatives, I might just give one a shot.

  But why do I really hate McDonalds? I put the details in an old blog post here: http://www.takeitfacetoface.com/2009/02/fact-bendingand-a-little-bit-more/

• 51 Tanya // Jul 15, 2009 at 3:46 am

  I normally will not eat with my family when they visit Mcdonald’s. Heard about the burgers and had to try the mushroom swiss. That is my personal favorite anyway. Tried it and do have to say, if I have to eat fast food, I will eat this, I never touched any other burger at Micky Ds, tried them, didn’t like them, just didn’t cut it. This burger at least tastes like food. Ordered a medium fry with it, won’t do it again. A medium fry is now a small, medium box with a small fry in it. Also, way too much food for me, I will stick with the burger and be happy we can stop and all get something to eat.

• 52 Bruce // Jul 15, 2009 at 6:41 pm

  Tried the Deluxe today. I liked it so much that I want to try the other two. It not the best burger I’ve had by a long shot, but its taste is in between a real good burger and a McDonald’s Big n Tasty burger. The toppings are fresher which helps the burger move further away from conventional fast food burgers. B+

• 53 SR // Jul 22, 2009 at 5:41 am

  Uh, bacon and swiss are not new to the menu, the chicken sandwiches have had them for a while.

  The one time I tried this burger it was dry as a board. I much prefer the Big Mac, it has no pretenses and is the perfect junk food sandwich.

  Hardee’s has a much better “angus” burger. Probably the best fast food “premium” type burger.

• 54 SR // Jul 22, 2009 at 5:45 am

  #46, couldn’t agree more about BK’s bacon. It’s the worst bacon in fast food, it is inedible. Even Wendy’s which is superior in meat, bun, toppings, chicken patty has worse bacon than McD’s. McD’s is great bacon and no fast food bacon is, but it happens to better than most.

  BK also has the worst sausage, again almost inedible, like it came out of a vending machine.

• 55 Mela // Jul 23, 2009 at 2:02 pm

  Here in our little town, we have one chain and it is McDonalds. I wouldn’t trade it for any other chain. In fact BK didn’t even last. And when I tried their Angus burger OMG it was to die for.. Thanks McDonalds for being her in our little town! Love your Food!

• 56 mike // Jul 30, 2009 at 1:01 pm

  apparently “angus” really means “salty”

  when the burger is saltier than the fresh fries from the top of the bin, something is wrong.
  I had the bacon/cheese one. not really impressed. bacon was ok. bun was even pretty good – but i tend to prefer crustier, more dense breads ( german grandmother and all…)

  i would rather have a couple of double cheeseburgers or a mcchicken. or better yet, the 89c chicken burritos from taco hell right across the street.

• 57 Greg // Jul 30, 2009 at 4:34 pm

  I agree with Miles and with Mike. The burger patty itself was incredibly salty. Keep in mind, I LOVE salty food and am always criticized in my family for adding salt to my food at the table, but this burger was truly too salty for me.

  If I get one again, I am going to ask them to delete the grill seasoning.

• 58 denman // Aug 4, 2009 at 3:31 pm

• 59 kanyon // Aug 6, 2009 at 10:57 am

  McDonalds is trying to capitalize on what Carl’s Jr and Hardees have been doing for a long time with the angus burgers. Stick with them – they’ve got a lot more QUALITY burger options and their fries blow McDonald’s out of the water.

• 60 Karl // Aug 9, 2009 at 9:57 pm

  The deluxe version contains 1700mg of sodium
  according to the mickey d’s wed site.This burger is awful,employees probably added more salt.The only thing it tasted eating this disaster is salt!If you like this burger you would be better off buying a deer salt lick block.

• 61 junkcafe // Aug 10, 2009 at 10:13 am

  “The first thing I noticed was that the burger they served me actually LOOKED like the picture of the burger on the menu”

  I worked at Burger Thing during the John Hughes era. Learning to construct the mythical Whopper was a high art taught by the franchisee. However, quality tended to vary based on the skill of the crew member. I’d seen the how sloppy it can be. I foresee the McD’s burger experiment working well in locations that do it right. Execute poorly…then you’ll have a mess in your hands…The burger wars should be fought in the presentation as well as flavor. The blogger’s first impression says it all.

• 62 Disgusted // Aug 12, 2009 at 3:18 pm

  I just ordered the Bacon Angus burger and took one bite and noticed it was cold. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the burger was not cooked all the way. I took another bite just to see if it was the outer perimeter, but the middle was even bloodier. I don’t mind rare meat, but not with hamburger meat, especially fast food hamburger meat. I tried calling the Micky D’s I ordered from, but no one answered. I took the extra time out of my lunch and drove back to the location. I spoke to the manager and she agreed that it was not thoroughly cooked. She offered me a new sandwich, but I felt at that point a new sandwich for all my trouble was not enough. The only thing she said she could offer me was my money back. I took the money. I will say the first time I tried the mushroom n swiss, which was good, but make sure that when you order this thing it comes cooked.

• 63 Brian // Aug 14, 2009 at 12:27 am

  I’ve been looking forward to trying one of these. I ordered the “Deluxe” tonight…I was not impressed. The burger was dry (and luke warm), bread was dry and it tasted…unfresh, like it was loaded with preservatives (which it probably was). Would I eat another one? Umm…no. If I want a good burger I’ll go to Five Guys

• 64 Vince // Aug 15, 2009 at 11:12 pm

• 65 Vince // Aug 15, 2009 at 11:25 pm

• 66 Chas // Aug 17, 2009 at 11:37 am

  I tried one with the coupon I got from the ad at Ebay’s site for a free medium fries and a free medium drink with purchase of the Angus burger. The burger had that dry look that they get after they’ve sat in the warming tray for too long and it had too much mayo on it.
  I do a better one at home. I use a 1/3 pound Bubbaburger grilled on my hibachi, a slice of 30% fat reduced Kraft American cheese, and a slice of Oscar Mayer roast beef. I call it my roast beef burger. The slice of lean roast beef adds a very complimentary flavor. Add ketchup, Vlasic Ovals pickle slices, which are cut diagonally so they’re bigger, and a note of yellow mustard for nostalgia. Zap the bread with the beef and cheese for a few seconds in the microwave to warm the beef and melt the cheese.
  Best bread for burgers is pumpernickel because it has the flavor to stand up to the burger, but I’m on a budget these days, so it’s Wal-Mart’s superb and cheap Great Value sandwich bread. The best part of the loaf is the heels when toasted in the toaster on the bagel setting so that only the inside gets toasted. Then they’re crunchy toasted on the inside and soft as a pillow on the outside. Only two heels per loaf, so it’s a rare treat.
  McDonald’s Angus burger? Okay in the winter when I don’t want to cook a burger indoors because of the smoke, but hold the mayo – I don’t need the heart attack or the stroke.

• 71 Ashley // Aug 24, 2009 at 9:51 pm

  Hello, I’m very surprised reading your review. I just had an Angus burger today (only because they had given me a coupon I would nor have otherwise) and to say the least I was thouroughly dissappointed and disgusted.

  Why in Heavens name do you say that Wendys and Burger king make good burgers. For the record, burger king is absolutely disgusting and Wendy has been at a sharp decline to the point I just gave up in them. McDonalds has the only burgers really worth a damn. But these Angus things are horrible.

  First of all, they just too big. Secondly they are so greasy and tastless that I wonder if they just butcher the cow and set up a camp fire out back….

  No flavor, the cheese they use is absolutely horrible. I had a mushroom Swiss which is my allllll time favorite burger and it completely ruined it for me. The burger tasted like a big piece of greasy plastic. I ate it 5 hours ago and I still feel sick to my stomach.

  The only thing I remember thinking while eating it is how much money they wasted on the production of all these burger boxes and extra supplies.

  This was almost as bad as the big and tasty but not quite.

  To all the readers: I don’t know how this guy wrote such a review but obviously he was paid A LOT to do so. Don’t listen to it. It’s the biggest waste of 4 dollars ever. And what I don’t understand is that you can go to ANY gormet burger place and get a decent and juicy yymmy burger for the same damn price. It makes no sense at all.

  I give this burger a 0 out of 5

• 72 Eick // Aug 24, 2009 at 10:33 pm

  Hey Ashley,

  Thanks for the comment. For starters, I never said Wendy’s or BK burgers were good, just that they were superior to McDonald’s burgers. Which frankly, I think they are. McDonald’s has the worst burgers of the major fast food chains. I find them all pretty gross.

  A lot of the comments I’ve received make me think maybe I got a pretty good batch of the Angus burgers, and maybe they aren’t normally that good. But the one I had, while still worse than most burgers I’ve had, was definitely better by comparison than other McDonalds burgers.

  Was I paid A LOT to write a good review? Ha. Hardly. I wasn’t paid anything. If I was, do you think I’d repeatedly say that I HATE McDonald’s and that most of their burgers suck? I ended my review saying I doubt I’d be back to McDonald’s anytime soon.

  And yes, I agree totally that if you are going to spend $4-$5 for a burger, go to a Five Guys and get a much better one.

• 73 Elizabeth // Aug 25, 2009 at 9:24 pm

  I thought I would try out the new Angus burgers and was not impressed. It was very salty and as always when eating a McDonalds burger my stomache aches and I wish I had not eaten it. I will stick to the grilled chicken sandwiches. Only ever go to McDonald’s because my girls love the chicken nugget happy meal.

• 74 WhyMe // Aug 26, 2009 at 11:43 am

  I’m still sick… Tried a McD’s angus burger in Thousand Oaks, CA a couple years ago and thought it was the best of their burgers I’d ever had. So I was happy to hear when it came to my area (Las Vegas). Went to get one last night, but totally disappointed.

  The mushroom swiss had mushrooms, sure, can’t argue them but not much flavor. It had swiss, but I could not identify how many slices, and only on top of the meat patty unlike the pictures. It had about 1/3 pound of mayo – yuk! – wasted a couple fries scraping that snot off. The bun is a bun. Then there’s the “meat”… if that was angus I don’t want to know what they did to it. I think they discovered a way to make styrofoam out of some sort of protein’esce substance. No flavor (at least not a good one), tough leathery skin, some seasoning but only all in one spot, squishy, and downright sickening. Could swear that was textured vegetable protein. I’d have been better off eating my $4.

  Can’t believe any of the good reviews unless McD’s is being very inconsistent with their ingredients or training or both. Won’t try it again. Can’t wait till the In-&-Out opens up the street.

  McDonald’s is definitely not quality, but I have to admit that I do enjoy a Big Mac from time to time…or even a drunken Double Cheeseburger on the way home from a night out…I was pretty excited to try the Angus burger, but I was disgusted by it once I bit into it…I grabbed a Deluxe Angus burger, but when I got home and took one bite, all I could taste was SALT. SALT and more SALT…I took about 4 bites from the burger…Then I removed the veggies and ate them on my fries, tossing the rest of my burger in the trash…I was very disappointed…I looked on their site and the Deluxe Angus burger has 1700 mg of sodium…The Bacon Cheese Angus has 2100 mg….It was utterly disgusting…

  i just ordered an angus with bacon that is before i read these reviews. i am really apprehensive now. i am going to try to remain open minded, however. Especially after reading the really negative ones.

  the last time that i ate a big mac several yrs ago it was virtually tasteless. ZERO. so this is my first time going back and trying again.

  I agree that it cannot compare with 5 guys. i will more than likely prefer 5 guys too. After all it is only a buck or so more and the quality and selection of condiments are far greater.

  I tried the mushroom and swiss today. Would I have it again? NO! It tasted as if it had just been microwaved. I tasted no swiss cheese. It was definitely not juicy. The amount of mushrooms practically overwhelmed the taste of the beef. I might give the other two a try, but never again the mushroom/swiss burger.

• 79 Smith // Sep 17, 2009 at 7:35 am

  I think the mushroom swiss is a pretty damn good burger for 3.99. It’s the best burger I ever had at McDonalds – my folks liked it too. The bacon one was OK too – never had the deluxe.

  I got some “2 for 1″ coupons and with a 2 for 1 price you cant beat it.

  your angus burger is the bomb and they give u a free medium drink and fries it is so good

  Mushroom and Swiss with absolutely no taste except the mushrooms and whatever seasoning they used to to spruce them up. Angus fried on a grill, leaves no flavor of beef, only the guilty shame of eating the whole grease filled bomb, because $3.99+tax is too much to waste and hunger demands something to eat. Call this burger the ‘bulimics special.’ I know this is in bad taste, but 6 hours later I can’t get the horror out of my mind. I needed to vent so I came here and see what others are saying about the new Angus.

  One month later the ill feeling I had in my gullet after consuming this tasteless grease bomb still lingers. Every time I see one of Micky Dee’s truck and trailer combos drive by with the nauseating rolling trailer billboard, my stomach begins to heave and the sarcastic name McDonald’s new “1/3 LB ANUS BURGER” comes to mind.

  No true on the four ingredients. The Arch Deluxe in 1996 came standard with a piece of peppered bacon… AND IT WAS AWESOME! I like the angus better, but I could pound me an Arch Deluxe right now.

  Since my near miss barf experience with the 1/3 lb grease bomb Angus back in September, I’ve not been able to bring myself back to the Arches. The mere sight of them Arches gets my stomach a rolling.

  I ate the Angus Buger at the Atlanta airport (Terminal/Gates E) – the beef patty was cold and it gave me a bad diarhea. had to stay in the aircraft toilet most of the two hours flight. Very bad! Date 7th Feb 2010; time around 11 am. The service as bad too…..

  I’m sorry but the Angus burgers taste like CRAP, biting into one is like biting into cooked WORM casings! I bought one & was so disgusted I’ll never ever make that mistake again.

• 93 Marilyn // Jun 23, 2010 at 3:33 pm

  I have had two Angus burgers from two different locations. They were both excellant. It is all in the management. If you get a bad one, return it if possible and try another location. Above all, let them know how you feel so they can make necessary changes. Jon, have you actually eaten worm casings?

• 94 Matt // Jul 1, 2010 at 10:58 pm

  The Angus Mushroom and Swiss is great and I love the mayo!
