McDonald’s

Horrible horrible horrible. What a joke on service. I believe this is fast food. Why does it take 20 minutes to get to the window to pay. Lazy.

As far as McDonald’s go, this place is okay. They regularly get my order wrong. But for cheap fast food, beggars can’t be choosers.

The food is always the same. Tried this McDonald’s since they have a playground for Mia but it was pointless. Rules are posted, no one follows. Big kids just hanging out inside of the toy, and eating. Obviously they can’t read. Kids without socks running around, their too little to read but their parents don’t bother reading. Then the lazy McDonald’s staff that isn’t enforcing their own rules. Why put them if your not going to follow them or hold people to them. There’s too many diseases floating around as it is– now adding sweaty lil feet!!! Which hands will be touching as they play –Yuck!

Service was quick but lacked quality the food was cold an don’t they forgot straws napkins and the requested sauces.

I don’t know how many times I have to go to McDonald’s to get proper service. I haven’t been to this location for over year and once I go back they still mess up my order. I don’t understand what’s going to take to get proper service at any McDonald’s. Maybe they should have you write your order down in Pen just so it soaks in. I don’t understand.

I wanted to save a place that was very special for my 100^th Unilocal review. So naturally, it had to be the place which holds the bigger part in my heart… OK… arteries, than any other place. McDonald’s, you will always be a part of me, clinging there in my circulatory system like a friend that never leaves.
We have had a long history. During which my star rating of you has had its ups and downs, yet you have been a constant in my life. Always there. Always cheap. Always deliciously greasy.
1994 – 1997: As a young boy, you were always a treat for me. Whether it be a road trip, my birthday, or a night that mom simply didn’t feel like cooking, your happy meal box was a sight to me as welcome as a gift on Christmas morning. A gift which was covered in salt and grease and left me happy and came with a mystery figurine from the latest Disney movie.
5 Stars. No competition.
1997 – 2001: Now that I have grown out of happy meals, I truly get to explore your menu. The two cheese burger meal became a staple. Every once in a while I indulge in a big mac. And ah, the elusive McRib. I can’t help but think if you bring it back every year «by popular demand», just keep it all year and you won’t have so many people angrily demanding you to bring it back. Power to the people McDonald’s!
4 Stars
2002: You gave me my first job. Free meal with every shift!!! Is this real life!!!
5 Stars
2002: I learn the hard way what «giving notice is» when quitting randomly after a week and getting chewed out by my boss. What do you mean that I have to «fill my shifts??»
3 Stars.
You took away the McRib Again!!!
2 Stars.
2003: the dollar menu is born. An innovation which will go down with the likes of the Higgs-​Boson, human genome mapping, and of course, the five dollar foot-​long.
4 Stars.
2005: We meet for the first time overseas. Stepping off of the streets of Madrid and into your welcoming American lobby may have been more heart-​warming than grandma’s house back on Creekmoore Drive. I don’t want to practice my Spanish anymore! Big Mac por favor!
Present: We have had our ups and downs, sure. You gave people the world over a glimpse of the apocalypse through introducing the Super Size era — I mean who really wants to bother with taking the trip to the nearest McDonald’s if it doesn’t involve a bucket of soda and 3,500 fries?
But you, McDonald’s, will always have a special place in my heart. Whether it be a quick coffee and McMuffin on the way into work, or a walk up double cheeseburger at the drive thru window at 2 AM, you will always be there for me.
McDonald’s after all you’ve given me… I now give you these four stars. And only four because I know you are constantly ushering in new eras of cheap and high calorie goodness to the human race, and I can only hope that you have something under those silly clown sleeves or in those unnecessarily huge red shoes that is unknown to the world even today.

I only come because my niece likes to stop sometimes. the service is crappy and the food is… well it’s fast food. Step it up McDonald’s

For a fast food place, this is about as good as it gets.
They have abandoned the «speaker» part of the drive thru, and you now give your order face-​to-​face at the first window. Note: This McDonald’s is so big, there are three windows in the drive thru.
Anyway, they’d be well advised to move a big menu right by that first window, so you don’t forget your order number. But, other than that, I like the change. No more yelling, no more misunderstandings.
It also deserves to be mentioned that the staff at this location are much more friendly than at most fast food restaurants.
Incorrect orders? I’ve only had it happen once (a Sausage, Egg, Cheese McMuffin which was handed to me as a Sausage Cheese McMuffin).
The reason I don’t go through here more often, is that I usually go through for coffee — and, their hot coffees (lattes, cappuccinos) aren’t up to par. Last time I got a cappuccino, it was barely half full. Seriously, I just paid nearly $ 4 for a coffee product at McDonald’s — I expect you at least fill it up. Foam does not account for ½ the cup.
If they didn’t screw customers on the coffee, I’d be here every day (for a $ 4 coffee). Now, I just go through for regular (small) coffee, or iced coffee. Cheaper, and you can tell right away if they’re screwing you.
To sum it up — I WOULD NOT recommend you go to this location for a McCafe. You’ll get ripped off.

In the words of another Unilocaler, THEY WILL GET YOUR ORDER WRONG, I Guaran-​Fricken-​Tee! And this location is THE place for bums to loiter. And there are heroin deals going on in the parking lot at all hours.
But this is the closest Micky D’s to my house and I only go inside for the Redbox… which really needs to be moved outside. And this one has a Playland, so look out for snotty, barefoot, screaming children to be in your way when you go in to use the Redbox.

OK ! We get it! YOUR COFFEE IS TOO DAMN HOT!!!
Fresh brew coffee my ass!
Took 2 hours before I was able to even sip it! What the hell man!

Ok, a McDonald’s is pretty standard as far as food goes. I admit all I had was a shake, but here is where I have my issue: You have a gigantic playplace and NOO changing table in either restroom. For shame! While I was there sipping on my shake and feeding my twins (who sat in their own filth till I said screw you McDonalds and changed them in the booth) two other people inquired about a changing table. Hmmmm, can we say, «big time party foul?» I mean playplace=diapered kids (how many 18 month olds do you know that use the potty proficiently?).

Good location and, considering the amount of traffic they get, this branch does a decent job of fulfilling your order. They’ve apparently eliminated the traditional drive-​thru as it’s now «face to face» ordering. You drive up to the first window, talk to an actual person and place your order. Much nicer than talking to a squawk-​box, but you might forget what’s on the menu.
My main gripe with this place is, over the years, I’ll be driving home late from downtown. Usually between 9 – 11 pm… not über-​late. I’ll get a craving for a quick McDonald’s milkshake and pull into this place. But EVERY time I do, I get «our milkshake machine’s broken» or «no milkshakes until tomorrow». What… is there some sort of Milkshake Curfew that I don’t know about? I keep pulling in here, hoping that I can finally get a milkshake. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
For over 10 years I’ve been trying to get ONE frickin’ late night milkshake from this place… and I keep falling for it. So I’m writing this review as sort of «Virtual Post-​It Note» for myself. The message: «quit trying to get a milkshake at the McDonald’s on Alameda and Broadway you nincompoop!»

It is McDonalds. You know what you are getting and how it is going to taste.
Once in a long while I just need to get my Big Mac on.
There are no machines to yell your order into, the neighborhood association was not going to have any of that, so you speak face-​to-​face to especially nice people. There is the little playground inside, so lots of shrieking children.

I am in love with their hash browns. I am not ashamed to admit it.
