    They have SOME rotating international McDonald items so I came to try it out. They have a working McFlurry machine. I had onion rings and a McFlurry it was super good.

    While in Chicago, I had the opportunity to visit one of the few McDonald's in the States that serves international meals. My Godmother works for McDonald's corporate, so we had the chance to explore the area and try some of the international foods served around the world. My heart remains close to McDonald's because it was my first job as a teenager, working at a corporate McDonald's where I learned about food service and presentation, as well as the importance of customer service. Today, I experienced this McDonald's location as a customer, and all I can say is that the place was spotless, the ambiance was welcoming, and it didn't feel like a typical fast-food place. The staff looked presentable, and the General Manager was walking around greeting everyone and ensuring everything was running smoothly. She came to our table and greeted us. The service was quick and efficient. We tried the McPops, which are soft dough mini donuts filled with Biscoff, hazelnut, or mixed berries. If you like munchkins, you will absolutely love the McPops. The dough was airy, the filling flavorful, and the powdered sugar gave a nice finish. These McPops are only available in Canada, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, and at the unique McDonald's at the headquarters in Chicago. I would definitely travel again just for these! My favorite was between hazelnut and Biscoff; I kept tasting each and mixing the flavors, almost like a Reese's combination. Additionally, I tried their McShaker Fries from Hong Kong smoky BBQ flavor, which came with a BBQ powder pack and a bag to add the fries to season and give them a shake to season them perfectly. Because the fries were hot, the BBQ flavor was a plus; it wasn't spicy, just very savory. We also had some pancakes, which are hands down the best pancakes of any fast-food restaurant; I can't resist having a plate of hotcakes. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were a 10/10. Thank you, McDonald's, for a full 360-degree experience. Loyal customer.

    Super friendly and clean McDonald's! Came for the global menu and only ordered from the global menu. I was told they rotate around every 12 weeks. I tried the BBQ shaker fries, the Kung pao mcchicken, and the mango curry mcwrap. The fries taste like lays BBQ chips flavor. It's quite nice but doesn't feel like a wow. The Kung pao mcchicken was really good. It's an elevated regular mcchicken with crissed crossed buns, 2 crispy peppered chicken patties, a sweet yet Peppery aioli-like dressing, and lettuce. I really enjoyed this burger. The mcwrap was really interesting. The mango curry was a sweet sauce that had a hint of curry spice, like a salad dressing-way. The crispy chicken, cool cucumber slices, and the sauce really brought them together. I enjoyed it for the novelty but it's not really filling unfortunately and at that price point. If you dine in, they bring the food to you and if you didn't order a beverage, they will automatically bring a cup with water. All the tables have wireless charging. The restrooms were spacious and clean! Highly recommend to come to try the global menu.

    Located at Hamburger University, this spot has international menu items from around the world you can't normally get in the U.S. I tried the Sweet Chili McWrap and it was pretty good. Nice being able to try something different from the usual McDonald's menu. Clean restaurant, easy ordering.

    First off, this isn't your normal McDonald's!!! It has a rotating international/global menu! Theres only one in the US and that's this specific one in Chicago next door to their headquarters. We ordered almost everything off the global menu. Did it taste super gourmet fancy? No, at the end of the day it's still McDonalds. BUT I will say that everything felt higher quality and it was such a fun experience overall. Cheesy Onion Burger-- Just tasted like a cheesy burger with caramelized onions. Not the craziest invention but hey it's really good for McDonald's. Kung Pao Double McChicken-- I've never seen such a pretty burger from McDonald's EVERRR. Look at how gorgeous the bun is. 2 chicken patties and very, very, VERY mild spice in the sauce. Pretty good no complaints. McWrap Mango Curry-- Ok this one was a flop in the sense that the mango flavor just really wasn't working for us. It's like tart and just ... weird. Smoky BBQ McShaker Fries-- WHY ARENT SHAKER FRIES A THING EVERYWHERE!!! It tastes exactly like potato corner in the mall. They give you BBQ powder and a paper bag for you to combine and shake up yourself. Super fun 10/10 would recommend and actually tastes good. McPops (berry, biscoff, Nutella)-- Basically just filled donut holes!! Very standard like I don't know how you go wrong with donut holes. They were good! If you're in Chicago I'd recommend going just for fun. Just order everything off the global menu. It's not going to fill you up so just think of it like a snack. They DO have the full menu but ... the special part is the global part. Also as a whole, literally the cleanest McDonalds... ever I think. It's right next door to headquarters so they do NOT mess around! No self serve, they'll provide drinks in cups ready to go for you. There's people walking around ready to service you if you need anything. There's a lady by the kiosks directing traffic. Also there's SO MANY kiosks and SOOO much seating! And really clean bathrooms like wow we were so impressed.

    Cheesy Onion Burger, McShaker Fries Smoky BBQ, Golden McFlurry

    Located at Hamburger University, McDonald's headquarters, you can randomly sample regional specialties from around the world! A must-visit for McDonald's devotees! (Although, a little disappointing) Cheesy Onion Burger: Brazil limited. Very small, just a simple layer of meat patty, cheese, and chopped onions. I have no idea where the Brazilian flavor is. Feels very perfunctory. McShaker Fries: Smoky BBQ: Malaysia limited. The seasoning seems to be five-spice salt and pepper, the smoky flavor mainly comes from paprika, plus a layer of tomato acidity. It's probably closer to Mexican than Malaysian, and rather average. Golden McFlurry: Global. Coconut pralines and caramel toppings reminded me of Ferrero Raffaello. The taste was good, but a bit too sweet.

    SUCH A COOL CONCEPT wish there were more of these around the country! My favorite thing to do in another country is to try their McDonald's. It was so unique to get to try that here in Chicago. I will say, the fries and the desserts were great, but the sandwiches themselves were just a slight variation from what we already have here. I wasn't wowed by the flavors, but I was wowed by the option and the experience! It's still fast food at the end of the day. I will say, this location was very clean and run smoothly. They brought our order to the car and everything was included, service was quick and nice. HIGHLY recommend, I check the menu on the app to see what new international options are available

    China Global Menu - Kung Pao Double McChicken
    Annie K.

    There are many kiosks inside. Was disappointed they didn't have as many global menu offerings. Currently only Brazil Cheesy Onion Burger (not that diff from a regular burger just extra cheese and grilled onions), China Kung Pao Double Chicken Sandwich (double patty is a lot, wish they had a single layered chicken sandwich), German Mango Curry Snack Wrap, Malaysia Smoky BBQ shaker fries, Golden McFlurry (caramel & coconut), Switzerland filled beignets. The bbq fries seasoning was good, a tangy savory, slightly smoky flavor similar to bbq chips. The Kungpao chicken was just okay, not really a fan of the sauce. Tasted kind of like a seasoned thousand island dressed mixed with chili sauce. The McDonalds also had some mints that you can grab.

    I don't recall the name, but they were sweet & tasty from Switzerland. Kind of like a beignet.
    Ken R.

    This is a spot where you can order items from McDonald's menus across the world. We had just had a big lunch, but enjoyed a sweet treat from Switzerland. They were kind of like a beignet and they were delicious. You order via a kiosk and wait for your food. The ordering process was easy and we got our food quickly!

    McFlurry with coconut and caramel

    Fun fun fun! Got to try some of the international cuisine. Not pictured is the Mango chicken wrap, which was kind of meh. The McShaker fries are the naughty union of MickeyD fries and Lays BBQ chips. Quite yummy. The McPops are like jelly filled donuts. Tasty also. McFlurry was a little too sweet for us. Maybe less of the caramel sauce would be better. Brazillian Onion burger was the winner. Kind of like a Philly cheesesteak with Whiz! I also forgot to take a picture of the Kung Pao chicken sandwich. That was kind of like Panda Express on a bun! Yum! Restaurant is clean and quiet. Kind of out there a ways from downtown though.

    This isn't your typical McDonald's, it's one that is located next to the headquarters. The whole atmosphere was completely different. This is the nicest and cleanest McDonald's I've ever been to. There's plenty of seating available with lots of sunshine coming through the windows. It gave a very relaxing vibe where you can just sit and enjoy your meal. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted with a smile by the staff standing by the door. She saw that I had two kids so she walked up and handed them each a happy meal toy - that definitely made my kid's happy. I was actually quite shocked because this has never happened before. Apparently the toy was one that's suppose to be releasing in the coming months. The staff there was all so friendly and ready to help. I guess it's because it's connected to the headquarters so you can't really mess around. We wanted to try their global menu but then realized some items were only available after a certain time like 11:30 so we just ordered their breakfast while we waited. The ingredients used was fresh and high quality. We ordered mcpops, a cheesy onion burger, mcwrap mango curry and smoky BBQ mcshaker fries. The global menu turned out to be okay, not that special but it's fun to try for sure. If you're in Chicago, I would highly recommend making a visit here.

    Global menu items

    I would never review a McDonald's but this is the one and ONLY global McDonald's in the world. I rarely eat McDonald's but I had to try this one. They have 5 different menu items from across the globe from different countries and it rotates every 2 months. I got the kung pao double chicken, Brazilian cheese burger with grilled sweet onions, french beignets and Malaysia Smokey bbq fries. I wasn't able to finish everything but just wanted to try. It was definitely different. I liked everything! My favorite was the kung pao chicken but the bbq fries was also pretty good. You should definitely go if ur in Chicago

    It was so rewarding visiting an International McDonalds. Being able to try a popular menu McDonald item from Japan, China, The U.K and Canada was fun. It made the journey felt extremely special. I truly enjoyed the Garlic & Pepper CrissCut fries from China . My second favorite was the Philly Cheese Stack from The The U.K. The meat was well seasoned, the caramelized onions the cheese sauce. This burger was the truth. I also admire how dress everything was. The doors and windows where very polish and clean. No hand prints. The counter where clean and sanitized. All the staff seem happy and take pride in their work. I love that! Noone had a sad or down face. Overall wonderful experience.

    i tried the italian beef sandwich with extra gravy and spicy peppers. there was generous portions…read moreof beef and the peppers were actually hot! the bun does get quite soggy if you order extra gravy but think of it as a french dip sandwich. i came here on a saturday and the wait was about 30 minutes to get our food. the staff are very organized and have a good system down to handle the big crowds. the ambiance of the restaurant is pure chicago with the sports banners and decor.

    During our stay in this area we need to try the Chicago dog- I know there are highly reviewed and…read morebetter places but I prefer a sit down meal after a day of walking around so we had this in our second night. Ordered from the machine and got the famous meal with two hot dos with everything on it. I also ordered the rigatoni à la vodka and we got some drinks and of course the chocolate cake. It's like a big food hall and you'll wait to get your order called to pick up your food. Utensils and condiments are in the stations so you'll have to get it yourself. Overall we enjoyed the food and experience. The hotdogs are good and my son finished 2 - I tried a few bites but I also loved my pasta - huge service for the price and I get to share it with my son as well. The chocolate cake is not too sweet but really decadent. Must try if you're visiting and staying in the River North area.
