McDonald’s

Ok… my last review was on 03/12/2014…and I thought it would get better. Nahhhh. My honey and I were on a late night sweets binge, on a budget, and thought… ooooo…McDonald’s hot baked apple pies! I went through the drive thru and hit my first sna-fu…no receipt. Ok… it’s late no problem.
Second sna-fu…no time and date sticker on the green box! I opened it and took that first heinously soggy, stale, old-​pie bite and spit it on my dash board. The disappointment was that one comes to expect a perfectly quality bite from McDonald’s. I made a bee-​line back through drive thru. The guy said… ohhh, ummmm… I’ll give you a new pie. He took the old pies with the noticeably sticky spot where a sticker used to be and handed us two new boxes of old pies with no sticker. When I just asked for a refund, he reached into his back pocket and pulled a dollar from his wallet.
Yep. No more late night rendezvous in this McDonald’s. It wasn’t that he was hustling people with old pies and likely pocketing the money. It was that he was tarnishing the name and expectation of quality of every McDonald’s. Sigh… guess it’s time for my diet anyways.

I have been a McDonalds customer for over 30 years. The very first time I purchased a burger in my life with NO MEAT in it was here yesterday. Yes! A cheeseburger with no meat.

This is McDonald’s. I understand. But my service was beyond expected. Marys took amazing care of me.

I wished I could have tried the quarter pounder and Mini McFlurry but I gave all my money to 4 homeless people outside the store. Hope 2 try the nuggets next time.

The services was fast but the food was not cooked. Went in for breakfast, Hashbrowns crunchy, cold and taste like greese.

I come in, get a big mac meal, sit down and I notice Mexican music playing through the restaurant speakers. I look around at customers sitting all around which appear to be mostly eastern European old men, 5 white guys 2 black women and me. Not a coincidence the entire staff was Mexican working but since when does the staff have control of the radio. Definitely don’t have nothing against Mexican people or Mexican music I just found it pretty selfish and inconsiderate.

Um, it was 102 F yesterday in Chicago and this restaurant’s AC was broken. No maintenance crews to be seen anywhere. I’ve worked in multi-​unit retail before and lesser chains have maintenance crews that arrive within hours to fix much smaller problems. There were a lot of senior citizen customers drenched in sweat and fanning their faces as best they could. No maintenance crew in sight. This is not only a nuisance but also this unit is putting their customers’ health in jeopardy.
Aside from that, no condiment bar, seriously? Only a single ketchup pump. Not even salt and pepper are available, not from the non-​existent condiment bar, not present at the tables either.
Seriously?

Just came in for a quick order. Service was fine and the bathrooms were pretty clean.
Like everyone else mentions, there are a ton of older men that were sitting there just hanging out.
Also, there was a few that hung outside which can be a bit intimidating to some people and they did smell a bit.

I live in the neighborhood and frequent this location every once in a while. Usually it’s the drive-​thru but every so often I take a lazy walk over there and dine in.
Drive-​thru: It’s not just this McDonald’s, but every single one these days — please stop with the actor voiced message when I roll up who tries to get me to try something new … only to be given someone who can’t properly take my order when it’s time to get down to business.
Dine-​in: The old men who hang out here all day smell a little funny. I know that’s a little mean but it’s true. They take up three-​quarters of the seats in the place and sip on senior coffee for hours on end. The kicker was today while I was eating … I look over and hear one of the guys cough up a lung, hack a few times, then bend over between the tables and spit on the floor! Oh yeah, he did this at least twice while I was there. Really?
Someone else said it earlier, but the shake machine never works.

I thought the McDonalds on Wilson and Sheridan was bad, but this one is wayyyyyy worse! Sometimes they would not have the food that is on the menu, or any of the soft drinks! Also, during a hot summer day, they would not have the AC running. The place would be stuffy, humid and extremely hot! This place is just unbearable!

A modern McDonalds with plenty of seating and free wifi to make some Unilocal posts! Also, the McRib is back through 11÷14÷11 if you’re into that sort of thing.

Clean and decent food served at these golden arches. I never met a rude employee here. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

Only reason this place gets two stars is because it’s close to my house and kids can walk here without me having to sit in there with them while they eat. If I don’t have to go in, then I don’t have to see how dirty it is (fruit flies regularly buzzing your food, eww) and the ubiquitous elderly Greek and Eastern European men drinking coffee who seem to take every seat in the house.
Also, drive through is notorius for forgetting part of your order, and/​or getting pissed when I hand them back the corrugated drink holder, seeing as the approximately 20,000 drink holders in my minivan can accommodate a couple of drinks.
Oh yeah, it’s currently it’s 85 degrees outside, I’m in here studying, and it doesn’t seem like the air is on — wtf?

This is by far the worse McDonalds I have ever been to in my life. I waited for a Fish sandwich for 20 minutes at the window. Cars started honking at me to move. I asked the manager if she would like for me to pull to the side. She said no. Then some lady walks up to my car and starts MFing me. Finally they try to give me my food. I was so angry I told them to keep it and keep the money. I ask for the store number so that I can call corporate. They make me wait an additional time for that. I just drove off.

Ah, McDonald’s…been coming here for years!!! Now I am not a fan of greasy crap food… but when i am hung over or need something fast to eat, I will stop here.
The food??? It’s McDonald’s for Christ sake, so it’s all the same crap.
POSITIVES:
–Close & convenient
–Fries are outstanding
–Chocolate Shakes? Um, wow, what an upgrade! They are now delicious! Whip cream and a cherry? NO more sucking it up the straw for 15 minutes!!!
–McDonalds Breakfast has always been tasty and delicious… and the coffee is good too VERY GOOD COFFEE!
–Nuggets vs chicken selects… I’ll take the old school nuggets.
NEGATIVES:
–Drive thru still sucks! How many times do I get back to work and they forget the ketchup, the bbq sauce, put cheese on it’s like you have to study your bag of food now before you leave. Plus why do they make you listen to that automated «WELCOME TO MCDONALD’S WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY OUR NEW ANGUS BURGER». then you need to go «no» then the regular guys voice kicks in? i hate that.
–Old Greeks and Europeans sit and drink coffee all day long and sit there… kick them out… seriously…they are loud, they smell and are annoying!
–You can only make a left turn out of the drive thru… stupid!
–MCDONALDS SEMI TRUCK CLOGS THE DRIVETHRU EVERY SATURDAY MORNING FROM 9 – 9:30…WHY??? This is primetime drive thru time. So now we have to park and walk inside? come on, come at like 6am or so… not 9am!!!
over all 2 stars… McDonald’s is not good for you anyway… and you see fat overweight people sucking down burgers and fries and you wonder why they are fat? 2 stars for being close to me… but mostly for the good coffee now and chocolate shakes… but i will say… MAKE THE MC RIB AN EVERYDAY MENU ITEM!!!

Did you know that a hot fudge sundae and a medium Shamrock Shake cost only $ 3.73 here? Since my last purchase from a McDonald’s was four years ago at ORD (also for a Shamrock Shake), I found this astonishing.
Cheap, chemtastic dessert – Who knew?
Plus, they have a drive-​through. I haven’t been through a drive-​through since the Clinton administration. Fun times!

2 happy meals with penguin toys (check)
2 cups of decent coffee (check)
2 hot apple pies (check)
Less than 800 calories and my inner child is truly satisfied! More so, when my toy turns out cooler than my sisters! Ha! All because the Micky D’s team gave us different toys when I asked. Very cool!
All for $ 8.04! Can’t beat that for a Saturday night while waiting for mom to finish at the salon.

Totally agree with Sam C. about the waxy men!
So…a few of my friends (all female) and I stopped in to get some cheap dessert… we’re all a little poor right now, so $ 1 sundaes fit the bill.
We all needed to use the facilities so we headed back and the group of about 20 old «waxy» men catcalled us until we reached the restroom.
SERIOUSLY? I can honestly say that’s my first time being catcalled in McDonalds!
Anyway…the restrooms were clean, the service was pretty pleasant and they even added extra hot fudge to my sundae as requested!
but the gang of creepy old men will prevent me from returning (oh, and the fact that I only eat McDonalds like once a year anyway…)

I don’t feel right about reviewing a McDonald’s for many reasons. I like some of their food selections, but 4 things have just totally barred me from entering this location.
1. They screw up orders very frequently. Example: Sausage buscuit with cheese will get you a biscuit with extra cheese and no sausage (has happened twice)
2. With the latest remodel, there are less places to sit down.
3. Sausage McMuffin with Egg, Cheese and EGGSHELLS (it traumatized me for a whole week, this has happened twice)
4. They were closed by the city due to rat droppings a few months back.
P. S. What happened to the hostess they used to have here for years? Sweetest lady in the world.

My wife and I call this «The Wax Museum» because of all the old waxy men who seem glued to their seats. I don’t know how this McDonald’s makes any money. Seems to me they do most of their business in 65 cent senior coffee.
Good luck finding a spot to sit down.
