What is the McDonald’s Signature Crafted Mushroom & Swiss?
It’s another Mushroom & Swiss version. This time it comes with seasoned mushrooms, a creamy bistro aioli, Swiss cheese, and crispy onion strings on an artisan roll with a 100% fresh beef 1/4 lb. patty.
How is it?
Upon opening the signature crafted box, the artisan bun and its golden brown fluffy appearance excited me. Off to a good start!
After taking off the top to check out the toppings, I was immediately befuddled. There were multiple onion strings, some melted Swiss, a bit of the aioli, but the mushrooms? There were maybe two, three at most on my burger. My excitement sank again. I had reached mushroom patch rock bottom, so I decided to dig in and get it over with.
Chomping through, though? I was pleasantly surprised. All the components come together without one overpowering another. The bun is a tad buttery, the Swiss is sufficiently nutty, and while the drop of aioli tastes like a standard garlicky, peppery mayo, it does its job to add some creaminess to everything.
The standout though is the crispy onion strings. They were super crunchy and flavorful. Yum! I wasn’t wishing for more of the so-so mushrooms with the oniony topping present. They have a nice sweetness that comes through once you get through the coating.
Is there anything else you need to know?
I ordered my sandwich with one beef patty, but if you are extra hungry, you can get two of those fresh bad boys, if you like. And, if beef isn’t your thing, you can also get it with buttermilk crispy chicken or artisan grilled chicken.
Conclusion:
This is another decent entry in the Mushroom & Swiss category that you shouldn’t go out of your way for if you are expecting Mushroom heaven. For a crispy onion string & Swiss burger, though? It’s pretty good for a fast food joint. Check it out if you are hitting up the Golden Arches anytime soon. For me, I’m definitely going to go with the double next time.

Looks like you got shorted. Mine had more shrooms.
Too greasy. Ate half and divided the rest between the two dogs. Today, the dog with the sensitive stomach has diarrhea. We’ll stick with the hamburgers.
I was looking for mushroom heaven and was disappointed with the two. Bummer. But next time I’ll ask for extra and pay an up charge!
I absolutely loved this burger, and I am not a real big fan of burgers, will they ever be selling this again?? Really loved it
