Written by Thomas Brook
Thomas Brook writes independent menu guides, bringing a personal interest in McDonald’s food to practical comparisons of prices, portions and meal choices. Through his website, MacdoMenuPrices.com, he shares clear menu comparisons and ordering guides to help readers plan their next meal. During a McDonald’s restaurant visit, he tried the Quarter Pounder with Cheese and enjoyed it. That first-hand experience gives his burger coverage a personal starting point, alongside the menu research behind each guide.
His approach is to make the details of an order easier to understand: what comes with a meal, how an item compares with a similar choice, and how sides, drinks or sauces change the total. Across breakfast, burgers, Happy Meals, McNuggets and beverages, he keeps restaurant-specific price examples separate from advertised offers and checks that nutrition figures refer to the stated serving.
The aim is straightforward: useful information before you order, with personal preferences clearly distinguished from measurable menu details. If a local price or item has changed, share the restaurant and ordering method through the contact page so the guide can be reviewed.
