I hope one day Reviewbrah goes international and reviews some fast food franchises abroad.

Reviewbrah has probably the most unique accent in the US. Truly like he was plucked out of the olden days with a transatlantic accent. Always fun to listen

“Sure I hated it the last 3 or 4 years… but forget about that” had me laughing so hard. You’re a comedic genius who reviews fast food. Nothing better on the internet ❤

Reviewbrah doesn’t rush in to a review he is very thoughtful and pensive which is rare in this content genre.

Loved the dry humor in the intro! 😆 As someone who has worked in multiple fast food kitchens, here's why the food is so inconsistent in quality. The franchise wants the store to follow the same procedures for quality assurance, but individual stores often end up cutting corners, usually to save on food waste. If you ever get a dry burger or chicken what's happened is it's been held hot for too long. At McDonald's they have warming trays to hold the cooked product with timers on them, but we were consistently told to just restart the timers instead of discarding the unsold product because of overhead.

You have to understand that when a manager tosses a tray of burger patties, that costs corporate nothing. It's the franchise owner that pays for everything themselves while cutting the CEO's a check whether they profit or not. Owning a franchised restaurant sucks unless you own multiple stores. This is why Quizno's went out of business altogether and Subway isn't far behind. So, the crew gets told to keep a certain number of pieces ready for service, but if they don't sell to just reset the timers and hold them over. So, that explains the dry, flavorless meat thing on your bun.

Also, as for runny sauce I can confirm that when McRib rolls out, we didn't always get enough sauce to pair with the patties. So, I have seen sauce jugs watered down, shaken, and then used to stretch the product out. The pickles on the other hand have always been floppy and relatively tasteless at McDonald's. Bojangle's, Popeye's, and Chik-fil-A get crisper and tastier pickles from their distributors. But then again, a franchised restaurant doesn't have the authority to order different ingredients at all. So, whatever the suits decide on is what you are forced to serve, whether it sucks or not.

Sorry if this was too long, but I worked for a good while in food service so I happen to know a lot of the uglier details of the business from experience both in large and smaller chains.

I once ordered a McRib and requested extra onions. As soon as I was given my order, I forgot to check to the bag to make sure it was correct. When I got home and opened the wrapping, to my astonishment, the McRib was void of any onions. That was the most traumatizing experience I ever had.

0:48 the fact you maintained a straight face after saying Mcdonald's isn't known for cheap gimmicks deserves a medal.

I won't be heading out anytime soon to buy Mc-Anything food, but watching his David Attenborough-style reviews is entertaining and informative.🤣

Reviewbrah is a national treasure who must be protected at all costs!

I love that he doesn’t devour his food, he actually takes his time to taste the food!! Love your content!!

As someone from Britain I really, really appreciate the dry humour. Wonderful stuff

gotta love his deadpan humor. he can destroy any establishment with his subtle style and kindly packaged criticism

The fact that I just watched a 16 min video review on the McRib really makes me take a step back to evaluate my life choices...

All hail the review brah and his very legitimate reviews. This immortal gentleman who does not age, gives the most honest and realist reviews ever. I could trust this man with my life 100%

Without exaggeration, reviewbrahs comedic timing is impeccable

this man is the pinnacle of fast-food gonzo journalism and everything about his demeanor is proof thereof. fan since "my day is ruined". thanks for doing all the dirty work for us, reviewbrah.

The fact that reviewbrah says the McRib is better this year gives us all hope in this time of conflict, war, and strife.

You are brilliant! How you did that whole intro without cracking up is priceless . You should be an actor i swear, you can keep a straight face and be so funny. Thank you for making my day.

Thank you, reviewbrah! I bought one tonight and I must say I was quite pleased. It was even better than I remembered (which was already pretty decent). I paid a little under $8 for a combo, so I found the value to be good. I think it is a nice sandwich to enjoy maybe once or twice a year. And a cut above anything else on McDonald’s menu.
