Commenting on the findings, Marc Porcar, CEO of QR Code Generator, said: 'According to a YouGov survey, McDonald's is in the top three most popular dining brands in the UK for 2025, beating out its competitors such as Burger King and KFC.
"Only Greggs is favoured more than the double arches among millennials, highlighting many young Brits' favour for affordable, on-the-go bites."
He added: 'However, just because each McDonald's restaurant bears the famous name, it may not mean all are equal in the eyes of customers, as our results suggest.
"Customer satisfaction appears to vary widely across the nation, with Cornwall Services taking top spot. For holidaymakers on their way to or from the south-west coast, it may be one to keep in mind for a pitstop, and an enjoyable meal for their travels.'
