Macdonald's third pounder


My boyfriend was dying to try the new burger at McDonald's, so I humored him and tried it as well. McDonald's new third ponder is smaller than we expected. We got this during the 50% off special at $2.78.

The bun has a nice firm texture. The burger is less salty than the other burgers. Flavor is dominated by mayo and mushroom. Not necessarily a bad combination but reminiscence of greasy Jack in the Box burger. We ordered the Swiss and mushroom burger. The patty itself actually resemble meat instead of the usual dry grey cardboard serve at McDonald. He thinks the Angus burger can finally trump the gristle burger at Dairy Queen.


What we liked:

  • Nice bun with good texture. Am improvement from their existing buns
  • Mushroom and swiss option was a good variation
  • Lots of mayonnaise
  • Meaty patty

What we did not like:

  • Expensive for fast food. Over $5 for the burger at regular price.
  • So much mayonnaise, it can kill you ( This coming from a guy it says a lot)
  • Where is my veggie? Mushroom is not officially veggie in my book (This was his comment as well)
