Those actually look pretty good

 

[DietRob]

This is the exact opposite of what Mc Donalds should be doing.

I thought earlier in the year their CEO was talking about simplifying the menu. They seem very lost.

 

[Liferebooted]

Had em for 10+ years in Queens NY...

My local McDonald's got these in finally. I tried them and wasn't impressed. White Castle's cheese sticks are still the best from a fast food restaurant, hands-down. The McD's marinara was all right, nothing special. Again, White Castle is the clear winner for me.

How they compare to Arby's?

 

[SmarmySmurf]

Something about that just feels wrong. Like the way people in American fiction like to eat raw cookie dough.

What is the meaning of this?

 

[E the Shaggy]

"FIRE EVERYTHING!"

Yeah ok McDonalds, three mozarella sticks are totally going to turn the ship.

 

[goodcow]

They're always practically hollow inside. Not nearly enough cheese.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

BK's are better I'm guessing? They have good mozza sticks

 

[Mushroomer25]

I bought an order of these recently, and shoved them into the middle of a McDouble.

The shame was palpable. Would not recommend.

.... I'm so trying this.

 

[Polioliolio]

So much for a healthier McDonalds, and
hello childhood obesity!

 

[KorrZ]

I see McDonalds is going for the throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks strategy.

 

[Snaku]

Literally throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks now, huh?

 

[rjinaz]

It's official. They are trying to kill me. Why you hate me Mickey D's?

 

[DJ Lushious]

How they compare to Arby's?

As a vegetarian I haven't been to an Arby's in over a decade and a half. So, I can't really say.

It's also worth mentioning that these set the bar high. Delicious breading, the right amount of cheese, and a slightly sweet marinara sauce that complements the sticks nicely.

 

[painey]

I'm way too excited to try these today

 

[Smellycat]

I am tempted to try them, but that would mean I would have to go to McDonalds for the first time in forever...

 

[bootsthecat]

I was psyched when I saw them the other day at the drive thru and ordered. Bland as can be, disappointed. Needs more spices in the breading or something. It's McDonalds though, I suppose.

 

[The Elite]

You don't understand. I love mozzarella sticks. LOVE THEM.

 

[atr0cious]

. Needs more spices in the breading or something. It's McDonalds though, I suppose.

Maybe I had a different batch, because they were overseasoned nonsense with no cheese, and they had run out of sauce. But I can't stress how bad they tasted, just nasty and grainy.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

These mozzarella sticks suck. They don't put enough cheese in them.

ARBYS STILL KING

 

[hokahey]

This is the exact opposite of what they should be doing. SIMPLIFY the menu.

They already have to a ridiculous extent. I don't go anymore because some of their healthier wrap options are gone. Simplification isn't key. Better tasting shit at lower prices is. Or just lower prices. No one wants to pay that much for garbage tier fast food.

 

[superdeluxe]

3 sticks for a dollar, it's not horrible

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

3 sticks for a dollar, it's not horrible

Meh for 50 cent extra i can get six from my store, probably taste better too. Anyone tried them yet

 

[blastprocessor]

What they need are premium/gourmet burgers. They clearly don't get it.

 

[michaelius]

"Not terribly great, but not terribly bad either. McDonalds, you could eat worse!"

Isn't that the whole point of global fast food franchise ?
Serving people food they know for those who don't want to "gamble" on local restaurant quality ?

 

[superdeluxe]

What's your store?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

What's your store?

The one three blocks away that rest ons a corner which name escapes me! Damn good food though! Ever in pa. Ill show ya!

 

[painey]

I thought McDonalds would be empty on New Years Day in a college town. I was wrong. Waited like 20 minutes for my order, never seen the place so busy. Sticks were alright. For a buck, I cannot complain, but I wouldnt go out of my way to get them. $2 for a McDouble and Moz sticks.. thats the ultimate drunk combo

 

[TheTurboFD]

Tried them yesterday, i mean for the price its ok.... I wouldn't buy it again though.

 

[shinobi602]

Fuck yea, they were pretty good when they rolled them out for a limited time earlier this year. So it's permanent now?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

O you've had them? Scale from 1-10!!

 

[Kemal86]

They've been in my town for 2 weeks - at $1.39.

They taste really bland. The breading could use some seasoning.

 

[LaneDS]

I am not one to usually comment on fast food, but I tried these in a moment of weakness recently and that "marinara" is the most foul sauce I have ever tried.

 

[psychotron]

We've had them for a long time. It really depends on how they're prepared. I've had them flavorful and soft, and rock hard and shitty. Sounds like a dirty reference, lol.

 

[mightynine]

They always taste very..baked? Even for a buck, they aren't that great.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Aww man that's disappointing! O well they'll always win me over with french fries and that sweet potatoe cream cheese pie(whe its in season

 

[Log4Girlz]

Rock hard means they've been sitting around or re-fried.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

They weren't that good, the texture was like paper mache. Needed to left in the microwave a little longer.

 

[The Beard]

They've got to be crunchy. If they're soggy, I don't care if they're $.05, I wouldn't buy one.

Soggy mozzarella sticks are disgusting.

 

[Darkman M]

Trash cheese sticks, Zaxbys white cheddar bites are the best fried cheese snacks ive had.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

These POSs have already jumped 40 cents in my area.

 

[kirby_fox]

They weren't bad, I think they taste decent. Not much zest though if you like that and they're small like Burger King. They have a garlic buttery taste to them I think.

I'd prob get them if I continued going to Mickey D's but I think if I'm looking for mozzarella sticks specifically I'm hitting up Arby's or White Castle.

 

[internetwolf]

are these in chicago yet?

 

[A Link to the Past]

This is the exact opposite of what they should be doing. SIMPLIFY the menu.

TBH, I think things like sides are okay, and these kinds of items are super easy to make since you just have to put them in the vat. As someone who once had to deal with the nightmare of McDonald's going off the rails with complex menu items and options, I approve of having an extra side as an option (since the only ones they really have now are fries and salads).

 

[Dixon's Jet]

in b4 you only get like 3

You were in before nothing. An earlier post already exposes this McDonalds mischief.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Their mozzarella is ass. Really small, soggy, and stale cheese. Your better off getting two apple pies.

 

[johnny_park]

These things are super small and don't taste good.

 

[Sanjuro]

These are pretty good.

It's like you went to a bar that doesn't normally serve food. Then that bar makes some for you, but says, "hey, we ain't so good at this. So we sprayed'em with salt kiddo. Enjoy!"

They are that good.
