McDonald’s

For a «fast» food place. this place is not that fast… Yes, it’s pretty convenient right on Independence on your way out to Matthews… but I rarely have eaten in the dining area and mostly base my experience with this McDonald’s with the drive thru.
There is rarely a time that I don’t drive by and see a line of at least 3 cars deep in the drive through. Yes, it’s a busy location, but even going through it… it seems like it should be a lot faster.
My roommate and I always joke and try to predict how long it will take to get thru the drive-​thru based on the number of cars in line… most of our estimates get in the range of going out to a sit-​down place.

Nice and easy to get into this location from just about any direction — even if you are headed into town (though it does require an almost-​u-​turn). Getting out is just about as simple, though you might have to deal with traffic on the way out, and that can be a bit of a headache.
As Stephen has mentioned, the food typically comes out quickly, and the staff at this location is generally nice as well — something you do not always find at all fast food places.
On a purely personal note, this McDonald’s is responsible for our oldest son’s first left turn at a stop light while driving (he made the turn without incident). That is unlikely to influence your own decision, I just thought I would let you know.

Even with a trainee at the register, the food was fast. Not much more to say about a run-​of-​the-​mill McDonald’s.
