Overview

This is the McDonald’s on Trongate at 165–167, a standard fast-food branch on Glasgow’s east end of the city-centre strip rather than a destination restaurant. It is one of the busier late-night outlets when the Merchant City / Trongate bars and clubs empty out, especially Friday and Saturday nights. Usual hours run from early morning into the evening most days, with Friday and Saturday stretching into the early hours (check the McDonald’s app or door before you go — the site had a temporary refurb closure in 2025). St Enoch subway is a short walk west along Argyle Street / Trongate; street parking nearby is limited and paid daytime.

Food was really good, freshly cooked and the best tasting fries I have had in a long time from any McDonalds. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was very clean and cleaning staff were visably working. This restaurant should be proud of what they achieve and many other Macdonalds seem to forget

I would like to give positive feedback for Daniel at the McDonald’s on Trongate Street, Glasgow (G51 5HF). I have been struggling to find Happy Meal toys that my boys would enjoy, and Daniel was extremely helpful. He took the time to assist me, showed patience, and made sure I got the right toys. His customer service was excellent, and he truly made the experience easier and more enjoyable. Staff like him make a big difference – he is a credit to your team.

OK just another McDonald's narrow at the front yet stretches well back, staff cope well but more attention needed to cleaning the hinges on the toilet doors, a bit of attention to cleaning detail is needed through out the store plus front automatic doors need repair and at least a notice telling customers to press the disabled assistance button.
