Our permanent place of visit.
The kids love this atmosphere and the food.
And there's nothing we can do about it - there aren't many alternatives. KFC - ? Probably...
But I would like to have more of our own, Belarusian...
Maybe we could revive something Soviet, only at a modern level, so that the kids would be interested...
So that McDonald's would be blown away by envy...
And then the very center of Belarus - and what do we see? Only foreign franchises! ((
I dream that one day our descendants will have a rich selection of all our own, which they themselves invented and organized. And the names will be all without foreign letters. No, I'm not in favor of shutting myself off from the whole world, no, let languages and customs be studied and respected.
You just have to be yourself...
Am I a hopeless dreamer?
But I do.
A visit to a well-known fast food chain, popularly called "Mac", left a double impression. On the one hand, the familiar menu and the speed of service remain the same advantages, allowing you to have a quick snack in a limited time. On the other hand, the atmosphere of the establishment leaves much to be desired, especially during rush hours.
The main problem you face when crossing the threshold of the "Poppy" is the abundance of visitors who do not set themselves the task of satisfying hunger. A significant part of the audience consists of students from nearby schools and students who use the institution as a free coworking space or meeting place with friends.
As a result, finding an empty table becomes a real quest. You have to maneuver between busy tables, where companies are enthusiastically discussing their business, not caring at all that someone is looking for a place to just eat their order.
The food itself is uncomplicated – everything is standard, just like in any other branch of the chain. However, the noise and fuss reigning in the hall is not conducive to a pleasant pastime. It's difficult to relax and enjoy a meal in such an environment.
In conclusion, it's worth noting that Mac remains a good option for a quick snack if you're not too picky about the atmosphere. However, if you are looking for a place where you can sit quietly and relax, it may be worth looking for an alternative. Perhaps visiting during less busy hours will allow you to avoid the pandemonium and enjoy your meal in a more comfortable environment.
The poppy itself is very ordinary, although the food is delicious, but the poppy cafe, which is located there, was pleased. Firstly, delicious and relatively cheap desserts. Secondly, a very nice saleswoman. She does a great job, knows how to approach people and is basically very kind. All cafe employees need to look up to her.
The last time I was in Mac was before the war, when it was a McDonald's. I just came in and was amazed by the quality of the service. I made 2 different takeaway orders, they brought me one and a glass, they didn't give me the other, I didn't notice and went home. I only noticed at home that there was no second order, after about 3-4 hours I called the restaurant and was told to come and they would give me my order. The order was finally issued after such a long time and they also gave a pie and mulled wine as a gift))) Although I didn't ask for anything like that. Very pleasant
Now I'm going home on a cold night, but with a hot gift and my order.
Thanks
Standard delicious food for this chain.Polite and pleasant service.The waiting time depends on the usage of the point, although they work quite quickly.There is a large hall on the second floor, clean toilets, and the halls are also clean.
I didn't really like the food. The burgers are dry. The service is fast and polite. Prices are reasonable. For a quick snack, if you have a strong stomach, it is quite suitable.
It's a very spacious and beautiful place. Intelligent and polite staff (we made an order and I wanted to go to the bathroom, the staff asked, he entered my position and told me the password to the bathroom). But I made a big order at the checkout, and there was a big blockage. As a result, while waiting for the order, I received 5 apologies and an excuse. Well, in the end it was very tasty. In general, I liked it, I recommend it to everyone.
The place is obviously overrated, already in the name, it's not a restaurant, it's some kind of eatery, not only is there never anywhere to sit, but if you do, it's crowded and resentful, the service is terrible, the scoreboard lights up that the order is ready, you wait, you ask where the order is, the employees look at you and only they nod, as a result, after the supposedly finished order, you wait another 15 minutes. For the price, it's not worth it, a family of three, having a little snack (three hamburgers, two fries, two coffees and sauce) spent 50 and a half rubles, it's easier to cross the road and eat in Ledo, at least calmly and without fuss. Oh the choice is yours
The service time is generally normal. If by car, parking is a problem. The food is like everywhere else in Macs, for an amateur. French fries have become completely useless, it's better to go to a burkinger.
Cherry pies are delicious!
Friendly staff.Convenient location right next to the Yakub Kolas Square metro station on Independence Avenue.There are several types of order issuance, which is very encouraging.The waiting time depends on the restaurant's workload.The average receipt is 15-20 BYN.
Convenient location, there are free places) I came across friendly staff, very nice))) the prices are quite affordable)) after visiting, you can take a walk in the city center😉
I made an order from the cashier Kirik on 04/21/2025 at 17:58, ordered a kids meal, asked to put a red dragon toy, after which the cashier asked what would be included, answered about a cheeseburger and a coke. After I received the order, I saw a blue dragon there, went over to ask the employee if it could be replaced, to which I received the answer that the red dragons were out. It's a shame because the goal was to get this particular toy, and the cashier, in turn, could warn about it.
Cool guys are working))
We like to come here with a company in the evenings, I like that they smile at our noisiness and gaiety. They say softly and delicately that it is closing. They don't rush us when we go out. Class
They do everything so slowly that they are late everywhere they need to be. The order was placed for 20 minutes (if not more), taking into account that there were not many of them. The food court is served faster. I had several conflicts with other visitors, the staff did not even apologize for the shoals.
There were a lot of people, it took a while to find a place. Regarding food... I took a snack box, the wings turned out to be sharp (it seems to me that we need to warn about this in advance, we do not eat spicy, the unpleasant sediment remained). The burger fell apart as soon as I picked it up. An unpleasant moment. A nice bonus was the coffee shop at the entrance, but after ordering 2 different coffees, we then guessed where whose was. The apple puff was not impressed, but the cheesecake was delicious. The time to prepare everything is very fast, despite the huge number of people.
Very long service time! They click order readiness when the order is not ready yet, because of this, there is a large crowd of people near the pick-up table. We also made a takeaway order and didn't report the food, we saw it already at home. I am attaching a photo of what was and what is in the receipt - there are not enough large potatoes in a rustic way.
If someone likes to save money , well , for example ... If you like salsa fatter at home and generally fatty foods, then sea buckthorn tea will suit you in the poppy, I promise good oxidation under saturated fats. It is better not to drink on an empty stomach, a milkshake in combination with a Fish burger is suitable.
Despite the fact that it was already late, especially on Friday evening, the order was made quite quickly, but even so, they apologized for waiting. Very nice staff, everything is clean, tidy and looks beautiful! I recommend this place to visit
It is much more pleasant and tastier than the Russian equivalent. Everything is much better - from the heart logo to the food! We were especially pleased with our favorite makeovers and socks as a gift! It can be seen that it was done with love, not aggression
It's been a bummer lately: the service is below the skirting board, the food seems to be normal so far.
The service can't be lower: they forget about orders, they mark readiness 5 minutes before actual readiness.
I don't recommend it now, it's better to go for some shawarma, where the service will be a cut above
When ordering through a kiosk, you constantly encounter the fact that the order is marked as ready, but in fact you stand for some time and wait for it to be finally assembled. We wrote to the complaint book, but we didn't receive any feedback for two weeks. Dear employees, KPIs should be implemented in a different way…
the tables are very dirty, there are never any empty seats, you have to stand for half an hour, the order was also waited for more than 20 minutes, then it was also taken away by some employee, they asked where the order was several times and only then they began to redo it, as a result, the wrong topping was added to the ice cream anyway. not the service, just the horror.
My order was constantly skipped and disappeared on the table. I took the order with me, but they brought it on a tray, and I asked them to put it in a bag. As a result, half of the potatoes remained on the tray and were not put in the bag. I was in a bad mood, I was eating on the run, I was almost late.
Everything looks and is done well, but since I only came here for the hamburgers, my assessment mostly depends on them. And they're all just some kind of mediocre here (by the way, here they call me muffins). And the average ones are because, firstly, they are expensive (5.10 rubles), secondly, they do not look like a hamburger, but like some kind of sandwich (the bun looks like a piece of dough). I can't say anything unusual about the taste, it's just delicious. I personally do not recommend taking/ordering burgers here.
Bottom line: I do not recommend buying burgers.
Wonderful staff! Especially Amin. He saw that I was in a position and couldn't find a place to sit, so he offered me a table. Thank you very much. It's very nice!! Thank You So Much!
Everything is delicious and mouth-watering, also delicious. But the big problem is that there is no place anywhere. Only in the evening : ((, and so everything is OK. Well done!!
A normal store, despite the fact that it is located on the square itself, on the main avenue, the prices are quite moderate compared to the same neighbors.
During rush hour, when all the seats were occupied, we were kicked out of the place, saying that they wanted to conduct an interview on it, and instead were told to go to standing places. It was in a common place for eating.
After waiting for my order for exactly 30 minutes, I couldn't stand it and went to the counter. They were given out five minutes later. Such a long wait for two burgers in a fast food restaurant is simply unacceptable.
The food is like in all poppies. The potatoes after the re-branding have become less ruddy. The service is good, there is a lot of space, and the waiting time is not long. Terminals for ordering are conveniently placed. Definitely 5 ☆
Impressions are not very good.... The loaf is normal, and the French fries... used. It feels like it's been fried for the second or third time. I ate about the same only in the Crimea....
Despite the workload, they cook quickly. Caesar Roll is a little dry, I would like a little more sauce. The potatoes are good, I am glad that there is not so much salt.
The disadvantage is the large number of visitors, especially schoolchildren and students, whose obscene Russian was not particularly pleasant to dine with

It seems like an ordinary Mac, but not quite))
Maccafee offers a good selection of desserts that have been delicious for a long time.
And the most important thing is that the Mac was served quickly in the cafe - the wait was minimal (although maybe I was lucky. I don't come here often)
I liked it here.
Mac is on the level, as always. A cozy cafe, there are a couple of outlets in certain places where you can recharge, friendly staff. In a coffee place, both expensive and not so expensive, pies, there are macaroons, which is good when you want coffee with something sweet, but not much.
The best mac I've ever been to, the service is fast, the food itself is delicious, because of the goodwill of the staff, I want to return to this restaurant once again

Everything is very good and delicious, despite the fact that I am not a fan of fast food myself, but sometimes you can use this type of food. The cafe is clean and hospitable, the place was chosen well in the very center of the city, respect, good luck.
Nostalgia for McDonald's. Everything is as it is there.
It is very conveniently located - next to the metro.
The room itself is clean, but relatively. It is not a very large hall, there are few places outside. There are a lot of visitors, but orders are issued quickly.
In general, we were very satisfied!
It's a mega long wait, all the staff is walking around with a dissatisfied face and gives the impression that they don't expect anyone and just want to be left behind. I don't recommend it.
I went to the Yakub poppy all the time, but it was really the last straw and my last time there. For the umpteenth time, your order is being removed from the tableau, no matter how many orders there are 2-10, or only yours. When your number disappears from the table, you boldly go to pick up an order that turns out to be not ready yet and like a fool you stand at this counter waiting for it is unclear what 👍
It 's a terrible place , it 's not clear what they did .
If in Moscow you can safely go in , place an order and in 2-3 minutes everything is ready , you immediately wait for 10 minutes , because there
are few employees . The toilets were paid for and the ones you can't get into, they entered a code - the door didn't open, are you crazy there? And if someone gets sick and, let's say, is sick, have you thought about it?
The food here is not bad, I take it more than once, but as for the employees, it just amazes me, after waiting for an order for more than 15 minutes, and an order for less than 20 rubles, when I approached the employee, I asked, excuse me, please, where is my order, if the person took the order before, although it was later by the number, for sure, and his order was bigger, to which I heard rudely in my direction that "wait" on this I simply have no words why employees treat customers like this.....
Therefore, I put 1 star, good day to everyone!
It's a great place, I've been here.The staff is polite, everything is clean and cozy.The food is delicious, nostalgia for McDuck, because now we have Delicious and dot instead of McDuck.It's really delicious!!!
