A recent study ranked every Macca’s in Australia by pulling reviews on fast food restaurants with at least 50 reviews as of October 5 of this year, taking number of reviews and exact average rating of over a million reviews into account for each of the 887 McDonald’s on the list. Where two Macca’s had the exact same average, the one with the larger share of one-star reviews was ranked lower.

And, unfortunately, Brisbane ranked as the second-worst state in the whole country! It’s not all bad news, though, we also have three McDonald’s in the top ten.

The lowest-rated Macca’s in QLD

Our beloved state has two McDonald’s in the bottom 10, with reviewers for both citing long waits and cold food as some of their main complaints. The restaurants in question are McDonald’s Edens Crossing, and Berrinba.

Although these are the only two Queensland Macca’s that ranked so low, our state has the second-worst restaurants overall, with a 3.26 average rating, and only behind ACT, which has a 3.22. Here are the lowest-rated McDonald’s in Australia:

1. McDonald’s Edinburgh North, SA — 1.89
