McDonald's is a renowned fast-food chain serving a wide range of burgers, fries, and other comfort foods since its inception in 1955 by Ray Kroc, who joined McDonald's founders Maurice ("Mac") and Richard ("Dick") McDonald. The restaurant offers an array of signature items like the Big Mac, French Fries, Chicken McNuggets, and Egg McMuffin.
McDonald's menu features various burgers, each with a distinct taste profile. The classic Cheeseburger consists of a beef patty, melted cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and a sesame seed bun. Other notable burgers include the Quarter Pounder with Cheese and the Double Cheeseburger.
For those seeking non-beef options, McDonald's has introduced items like the McChicken, Filet-O-Fish, and Grilled Chicken Sandwich. The restaurant also provides salads, smoothies, and breakfast items.
One of the most popular side dishes is their French Fries, which are cooked to a crispy golden brown. They can be ordered in various sizes, from small to large. For dessert, customers often opt for their iconic McDonald's fries' companion – McFlurry.
McDonald's offers several meal combinations allowing diners to pair a main item with a side and drink for an affordable price. The restaurant also features a breakfast menu, available during specific hours, which includes omelets, pancakes, and other morning favorites.
