Reviewers on McDonald's Oreo McFlurry
★★★☆A poor man's DQ blizzard. Gets the job done when we needed but still kneels before the Queen.— McFryGuy34
★★★★★The McFlurry is the best version of what all other fast food restaurants are looking to copy. It is the standard, especially the Oreo McFlurry. In my opinion, better than a frosty and a shake from In and Out.— ChainGang01

★★★★About as good as it gets for whatever genre of dessert thing this is. Only to be slightly outdone by the Concrete Mixer at Culver's, and thats just a personal taste thing.— ChainGang01
