Is quite delicious. I struggle to find an appropriately hot dip for my chicken and sauce for burgers whatnot (ghost pepper salsa is my go-to for chips)and I recently discovered this while doing a drunk food run for some friends. It's got quite a bit of heat (for a national chain) on it, but it's not so overwhelming it just tastes bitter (BWW Blazin'....) I find it quite good and would likely purchase a sauce bottle of it given the opportunity.

Their creamy buffalo sauce isn't bad either.

So basically... sweet talk a counter jockey to give me a bag full?

The dollar for any size coffee thing is great too. Cheap, tasty (iirc it's green mountain brand) and made to order with cream and sugar so you don't have to pour scalding liquid or cold dairy into your junk before getting your morning attitude adjuster.

Also that sauce plus a cheeseburger plus some Dean's fried jalepenos ( they're Frenches onions but jalapeños) made a wicked dinner.

No loss on the mustard from me- I actually couldn't stand most of their other sauces.

I like it! Surprising heat for a national chain, and pretty darn tasty.

They are dropping hot mustard!??!??

I will no longer be getting any type of nugget from them. That was one of the reasons I went.

On the hot ranchy stuff. Its good, but not on nuggets.

Sadly, even as a longtime shareholder, I have to agree. Even so, we find ourselves eating there occasionally when we need to grab a quick bite. My biggest gripe with them is that in spite of their aim to be a "family restaurant," their restrooms are the most un-kid-friendly places conceivable--always trashed, high sinks, no step-stools, no paper towels. Credit places like Chick-Fil-A and Cracker Barrel for actually putting some thought into their restrooms. But I digress. We now return to our regularly scheduled hot mustard discussion, already in progress.

The hot mustard was about the last reason I would go to a McDonalds. I like the stuff.

McDonalds seems determined to drive customers away, or at least me.

Coffee is premixed by them, which means the sugar and creamer is invariably wrong and I can't adjust it.

Burgers aren't cooked at the store any more, they are warmed in plastic bins.

Catsup is the only condiment given out (but only if requested). Anything else costs 20-90 cents per packet.

Fries are nearly unsalted and usually soggy limp.

Stores are uniformly filthy.

Blech and blah.

Sounds like you have a E36 M3 store by you. STRANGELY the two closest to me are total garbage and they almost invariably screw up my order. But there's one in the middle of a sketchier area up the road- that I'm almost never at due to distance (Let's face it, no one over the age of 7 plans their day around a meal at McDonalds) that's always spot on. I begin to wonder if it isn't volume that drives quality- food's too fresh to have a chance to go to E36 M3.

In reply to foxtrapper:

Order the coffee black then when it is delivered request creamer and sugar seperately. I got sick of them messing mine up too. I drink black but if I ordered one for a friend we always got cream and sugar in both.

If you want a burger drive down the road to a 5 guys.

McDonalds always gives me the worst case of heart burn, I'll pass no matter what their sauce tastes like.

What about honey mustard? If I can't get my fave hot mustard, I hope I can at least get my second favorite sauce.

I must be the only one that doesn't think their fries are that good. The only thing at McDonald's I really liked were the chicken strips that they got rid of.

Haven't liked their fries for years. Seems to coincide with their changing of cooking oils. They used to use lard, now they use a vegie oil. Their fries are limp and tasteless.

See, now, I have the exact opposite experience. I won't eat their food - but I go thru the drive-thru for coffee all the time because when I say easy cream, 2 sugars... thats what I get and I can drive away with a decent 20oz coffee that is ready to drink for $1.06.

The knuckleheads across the street at the "professional donut and coffee chain" never got it right and it was something like $2.70 for a freakin' coffee.

So, I can tip my hat to McD's for just that one thing.

no hot mustard

this new hot sauce sounds good... but I know that when I got back to the US in '96 after 6 years overseas my FIRST stop was to an american mcdonalds I think I picked up 5 or 6 packs of hot mustard... I devoured one and mailed the rest to a friend who still lived overseas... it's so yummy
