Can we go to McDonald’s?
I have lost count how many times my kids have made the request of us to take them to McDonald’s.
I know many may turn their nose up to eating at McDonald’s.
But I will admit here that I have always had a special place in my heart for McDonald’s.
But why?
Because, I happen to love their french fries. Seriously I am pretty sure no other fast food restaurant comes close.
So if I am craving french fries, I will usually find myself at McDonald’s.
Therefore, when my kids do beg to make a stop at McDonald’s, I will usually comply greedily if it means I can indulge on their french fries.
But McDonald’s isn’t just about French fries or your run of the mill hamburgers.
Why choose McDonald’s?
Here are 5 reasons, my family recommends McDonald’s:
1. It tastes good.
Like I said they really do have the best french fries. Plus, they use real ingredients. So, that is one of the many reasons the food is so tasty for the whole family.
2. This isn’t your mother or father’s McDonald’s!
See they have new signature crafted recipes.
I mean yes they do serve hamburgers and fries still. But their new signature burgers and sandwiches are made with either 100 percent pure beef or chicken not treated with antibiotics important to human medicine.
Some of the newest varieties are as follows:
* Pico Guacamole
* Pico de Gallo
* Guacamole
* Buttermilk Ranch Sauce
* Sweet BBQ Bacon
* Crispy Onions
* Sweet Onion BBQ Sauce
* Maple Bacon Dijon
* Creamy Dijon Sauce
3. Happy Meals are where it is at.
No matter what, kids seems to just love McDonald’s Happy Meals.
Not only do they dig the food, but the toy inside is something most if not all kids cannot pass up.
4. The kids are wild about their Chicken McNuggets
What can I say but even my pickiest eater loves McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets.
And does this parent, because they have no artificial preservatives and are made with chicken not treated with antibiotics important to human medicine†
5. The kids can get active after eating.
Many McDonald’s have a play area for the kids to work off their meal, while parents can enjoy a bit of down-time, too. Ours definitely does. This is one of the many reasons why I love taking my kids to McDonald’s even when they beg!

So what are you waiting for try McDonald’s with your family today!
†Farmers still use ionophores, a class of antibiotics that are prescribed to people, to help keep chickens healthy.

My kiddos love a trip to McDonalds and I love that there are so many mom-friendly options too! Thanks for the scoop on the latest menu!

Happy to share the scoop on their menu now with you, too!! 🙂
Nicolle says
My kiddos love McDonald’s. My youngest and oldest love to dip their fries and nuggets in a plain sundae. I love their fries when I’m craving salt.
Janine says
I am so with you on those fries, too 😉
Mary says
I try to avoid McDonald’s like the plague…. but I can hardly resist McDonald’s french fries, I mean you can never eat just one. Your girls look sooooo happy
Janine says
Thanks Mary and I know you can never just have one 😉
Nellie says
I have so many great memories of Mcd’s as a kid! Their menu is definitely not what it used to be for us!
Janine says
I totally agree, Nellie and so many good memories, too here 😉
AnnMarie John says
Seems like the kids are really enjoying their meal. I personally don’t eat at McD’s and quite possibly never will. 🙂
Janine says
They really were enjoying it. 😉
Kristi Campbell says
Tucker LOVES McD’s so much, and is bummed when his Happy Meal toy isn’t what he’d expected. I don’t eat it much but do admit a weakness for the egg mcmuffin…
Janine says
I know my girls are similar with Happy Meal toy here, too. And I agree about their egg mcmuffin, as well 😉
Aunt Gloria says
I like McDonald’s and glad they are adding even more healthy and interesting sandwiches, etc. I am definitely going to visit my local McDonald’s this weekend! I love the fries too! xxoo
Janine says
Aw, hope you enjoy your weekend visit, too Aunt Gloria xoxo 😉
Tamara says
You just can’t argue that it’s a perfect place for kids. The playground, the toys, the options. We used always go to get Scarlet those apple and caramel snacks. Right now, she has trouble because she’s not a burger eater but she refuses to eat nuggets because we have pet chickens! I hope she outgrows it! The rest of us have no trouble.
Janine says
Aw, I hope she does, too as I am with you on McDonald’s being the place to go for us, too 🙂
Catherine Gacad says
I grew up going to McDonald’s and we take Franco at least once a week because he loves the Happy Meals. He even calls out his order: chicken nuggets and french fries! I’m a big fan 🙂
Janine says
Aw, too cute and my girls also have their order down when they go, as well 😉
Echo says
We happen to love McDonald’s! Especially, their ice cream! We visit up to 3 times a week for a tasty soft-serve treat!
Janine says
Aw, same here and totally love their ice cream, too 😉
Rea says
Ahh McDonald’s! There’s one just below our office bldg where I’d always spend a quick meal (back when I was still working there). I do love their fries and McFlurry. 🙂
Janine says
Aw, both that you mentioned are so yummy, too!! 🙂
