I'd first like to start off this post by saying how much I love McDonald's breakfast. Nothing makes me happier than skipping out on my break from work to pick up some good eats off the dollar menu. I thought I had tried everything that McDonald's had to offer for breakfast. I was wrong.
The other day I was jonesing for some biscuits and gravy, but even though they are a popular breakfast item in this part of the country you can't get them just anywhere especially when fast food is concerned (didn't have time to get to go from a sitdown place). I did have some choices such as Hardee's, but I think for the most part their breakfast and especially their made-from-scratch biscuits are a known entity. As is the style of my blog I wanted something a little more out there. That's where the B&G from MickeyD's comes into the picture. As you can see from the photo above this was pretty standard fare for the affordable price of $1.29. You get 1 biscuit which you have to split and pour the sausage gravy over. First of all let me say I'm not a fan of that. Just give me 2 damn biscuits. Also, the taste here left much to be desired. The gravy was watery and bland and more or less ruined what I consider a better than mediocre biscuit. If I hadn't gotten hash browns in addition to this it would have been a very disappointing breakfast. Now for the ratings.
Taste: Incredibly sub-par. I would venture to say maybe the worst fast food B&G on the market. Go anywhere else. If you're in Muncie go to Mac's. Theirs comes highly recommended. Score: 2/10
Value: Obviously I can't complain too much here since it was only $1.29, but the problem is the dish itself is pretty cheap everywhere. Also, you only get one biscuit that is on the small side compared to other restaurants. 4/10
Randomness: Okay, so overall McDonald's is about the least random of a place that you could possibly eat. However, how many of you even knew they had biscuits and gravy? 7/10.
FYI just ask for a "large order" and your wish is granted. Two biscuits covered to the rim of the box. It's just not up on the menu board. Also this is not offered everywhere. Most Calif locations have it, apparently none in Nevada. The way it was explained to me is regions as a whole decide whether to carry it, and if so, they all get it. If No, then they are all S.O.L.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many better biscuits and gravy than McDonald's, who don't even make their biscuits from scratch. You must not be a true Southerner because every true Southerner knows that the best fast food biscuit and gravy is made by Jack's.
ReplyDeleteI'm a reporter at an ABC station in Fresno, CA. I'm reporting on a story about a lawsuit over McDonald's biscuits & gravy. I'd like to use your photos to show what the dish should look like. Would you be OK with that? I'm at corin.hoggard@abc.com if you approve.
