About

Open 24 hours on the pedestrian ramp connecting New Street station to Grand Central, a Birmingham institution since the late 1970s.

McDonald’s on the Ramp is an institution in Birmingham culture, famously occupying the walkway that connects New Street’s shopping area to Grand Central. The restaurant sits at the base of the inclined ramp-a pedestrian route that has become a beloved local landmark. Since the late 1970s, it has served as the go-to rendezvous point for weekenders, teenagers and shoppers looking for an easily recognised meeting place. The branch offers the full McDonald’s menu including breakfasts, burgers, wraps and McCafé coffee. It’s a window onto Birmingham life, operating 24 hours daily and frequently packed during peak times.

Absolute shambles this place is. Security and staff were lovely apart from the cleaner who did nothing but perv and pick on me and a friend. After a night out on the 13-06 at 12pm, me and a friend went to the toilets to wee when he decided he was going to have a conversation with me and a friend whilst we were using the female bathroom and as a male wouldn’t leave the facility. Another girl decided to speak up and tell him to leave when he persisted to carry on trying to intimate us when we were indecent. Then when we were eating after spending £25 he threw napkins at me and intimated the lads we were with to the point when the bouncer of McDonald’s had to intervene. He then approached us again and touched me. Absolutely disgusting and deserves jail. Everyone else in the venue was lovely. But did forget my friend water bottle.

The staff were really kind and helpful. I have 2 small children and a pram - it is hard to get a table downstairs because there is limited seating. It got very busy and the food was ok but not the 'fullest' amount of chips served.

Is it suitable for children and families?

Yes, it's family-friendly, the menu covers all ages, and the affordable pricing (around £6-£15 per person) makes it an easy, low-stress stop. It draws a wide mix of visitors including shoppers, teenagers, and families.

How busy does it get, and when is the best time to visit?

It gets extremely busy, particularly at weekends, lunch hours, and after-school times given its iconic status as a city-centre meeting spot. For a quieter visit, aim for weekday mornings or late evening; peak times can mean longer waits at the counter.
