McDonald's

You know exactly what you're getting when you walk into this Commercial Road branch, and honestly, that's sometimes exactly what you need. Whether you're heading home from a night out in Southsea or need something quick before catching a train from Portsmouth & Southsea station just down the road, this McDonald's does the job without any fuss. The staff here seem to have their act together more than some other branches around the city - your chips are usually hot, and they don't mess about with the ordering system. It's nothing fancy, but when you want a Big Mac at 10pm on a Tuesday, you'll be grateful this place exists. The location makes it handy for students from the university area too, though you'll often find yourself queuing behind half of Pompey after the pubs close.
