CRAZY SCENES: McDonald's swamped by customers trying to get their hands on free Quarter Pounders

Watch the must-see footage here - by Amy Sinclair

The lunchtime rush has well and truly made its way to McDonald's stores across the country.

Fans of the fast food giant have been pictured queuing out the door, hoping to get their hands on one of the limited number of free burgers.

CRAZY SCENES: McDonald's swamped by customers trying to get their hands on free Quarter Pounders

The chain has been giving away Quarter Pounders since 5am as part of its promotion for International Burger Day.

Scores of customers were seen packing restaurants on Tuesday, with one customer saying it was the busiest he's ever seen.

While many have lauded the burger chain for the giveaway, others say they've been actively denied the chance to score a free feed.

To claim the burger, customers need to redeem the voucher from the MyMaccas mobile app.

However, some say the app has been encountering technical difficulties all morning so they were robbed of the chance to score a free lunch.
