McDonald’s

Well it’s close to my place so I stop by once in a while only when I want something real quick. The place is clean and the food is the same. There are homeless and addicts pretty much all day long. One day an woman was shooting up «something» into her arm right in front of me! Please use the restroom! I wouldn’t bring kids to this place.

The prices at this location are RIDICULOUS! A Sausage McMuffin (sans egg) which can be obtained elsewhere in Manhattan for an already inflated $ 1.50 costs a whopping $ 2.30 at this location. Hash Browns, a classic dollar menu item which can be pushed to $ 1.20 or $ 1.30 in the city costs TWO DOLLARS here for a single order. Beyond the greedy franchisee’s pricing scheme, the workers are slow and inattentive. On one occasion I ordered a simple chicken snack wrap and waited fifteen minutes for my order; another time I asked for buffalo sauce and was told «we don’t have buffalo sauce» despite the clearly labeled «buffalo sauce» bin in view behind them. I actually had to call a manager over just to get a single packet of buffalo sauce. If you’re in a rush and need to eat, you’re better off going literally anywhere else in the neighborhood than this McDonald’s.

Okay food with underwhelming staff.
Attempted to take advantage of McDonalds’ new all-​day breakfast menu by ordering the pinnacle of comfort food sandwiches — the Muffin Double Cheeseburger. Just a double cheeseburger with muffins (available) substituted for the usual bun, the cashier, unable to find the button on the console, refused to fill the order. Subsequently refused to just turn around and yell the order to the assembly team. Ended up buying a Sausage McMuffin and the double cheeseburger and assembling the sandwich myself. Good, especially since I was angry.
Have it your way. Not coming back.

I really just wanted a cone and fries (who else likes dipping them together??? :P). So I ordered, and not only were they super rude, but they forgot my order of small fries. I had to remind them and show my receipt. By the time I got my fries i had finished my ice cream and couldn’t eat them together…
Anyway, at least when the lady realized she forgot my order, she gave me a medium instead of small.
One more thing that I personally get really turned off by: the lady who gave me the cone didn’t have gloves on. I understand if it were say, fries, that she was handling, but her hand was directly touching my cone. So I ate the ice cream and threw out the cone.
The place is super small (only 1 story), so was crowded and all the seats were taken.

Sandae is the best! He’s so sweet and makes sure everything is running smoothly! Go sandae!

I’d recommend going to this mcdonalds only during normal hours. Otherwise you’ll be hassled by homeless people that linger outside, as well as dealing with the crowd inside, including those working behind the counter. Also, make sure to budget yourself about 20min just to order a 4 piece chicken nugget, as the workers there are in no rush.

They’ve renovated and made it a little cleaner than it used to be a couple of years ago but this place is BUM CENTRAL! there are constantly homeless people hanging out in here all day, everyday. This location even resorted to shutting off the wifi to prevent homeless people and drug addicts from hanging out here all day.
The food is standard and the staff is better than most locations in Manhattan.
I’d give 3 stars if they had wifi and didn’t have so many homeless people in here.

Worst customer service. I went there in the night time and staff was chilling.
There were people waiting for the order and they staff was discussing shi .
They were talking about joining chipotle and other places.

This McD is ok. Wouldn’t stop in unless I really wanted a milkshake, fries or the McRib. The service is sort of slow, and at night, there’s too many homeless, cracked out people to want to go in.

It’s McDonalds in the city. That’s really all there is to say. I mean McDonalds in general is usually an experience that makes you question exactly how this chain became so successful in the first place.
This specific McDonalds made me feel kinda sick. Oddly, it wasn’t in my stomach or intestinal tract. Well, it was but I felt it Warming Up the Spleen before the ill feeling entered my gut. It wasn’t the typical sickness one experiences from McDonalds… rather more of a discomfort then illness.
It’s amazing that a McDonalds location can mess up a staple such as French fries, but this location finds a way to do it. If it wasn’t my dinner they were obliterating, I’d almost laugh at the ineptitude. It’s putting frozen potatoes in a deep fryer and using a timer. This doesn’t take a high degree of mastery of electronics, it’s pressing buttons and waiting for beeps. This fine establishment takes this simple activity and turns it into an exercise in futility.
That being said, I also had a chicken wrap. All ingredients were placed into the wrap and then it was closed with ingredients inside and provided for consumption. You may note that I described the preparation of a wrap, but when you’re dealing with people who can’t operate a deep fryer, it should be commended that they can properly execute the creation of a wrap.
Maybe I’m being a little hard on the Golden Arches. I get that I may be expecting a bit much from fast food, but other competitors rarely drop the ball this bad. Just saying.

The last few months they have shorted me all my fries orders. The Large are more like a medium. So till this problem is fixed…

My neighborhood McDonald’s.
McDouble, Spicy McChicken, 20 piece chicken nuggets. This is the shit I occasionally eat at 3 AM when I’ve been chemically lobotomized by one too many PBRs.
I have no idea what their food is made of. I’ve heard many different theories. Corn? Rats? Aborted animal fetuses?
Either way, I’m not dead yet and I ate this about once a week in high school. Now I eat it about once a month, always washed down with face-​size cups of poor judgement and transient regret.
People like to hate on Micky D’s but honestly, no one is putting a gun to your head. Exercise your higher brain functions and show some self-​control.
It’s a cold world out there. They will kill you if you let them.

Im only reviewing this Mickey D’s because I grabbed some food last night while at work and was shocked to learn that their late night menu is more expensive than their day menu. Its a ²⁴⁄₇ location so you have some unusual looking characters lurking around and sitting at the tables. I paid for my overpriced Mickey D’s and ran out of there because it was very late and very scary. They did have free wi-​fi if you are brave enought to sit and web browse.

This Micky D’s is among the many that has gone through a semi-​face lift as the corporation tries to revamp many of their locations with a contemporary look. What was once a dumpy McDonalds is now one with bright wall décor, stylish chairs, and a clean interior. If all McDoanlds could look this good, maybe it’s worth checking out after all. (#1)
There is nothing to report on the food. McDonalds is fast food that tastes, looks, and feels almost the same everywhere. But one thing worth noting is the fact they don’t have a dollar menu. Many penny pinchers are sure to walk away disappointed.
My only experience here I made a mess of the place by spilling a giant drink in the middle of the floor. The staff was so nice and not only replaced the drink, but apologized for giving me such a «flimsy» lid. They were very nice and remained professional, which is more than I can say of other McDonalds locations in the city.
Food traffic here can get heavy during the daytime. While half are probably here for the food, it’s without question the rest are just folks walking in to use the free bathrooms. Free public bathrooms in Kips Bay just spells trouble.

(#1) I would like to retract that statement.

Drunk hotspot. And probably the freshest drunk McDonalds (did I really just say that?) ever. Great spot for people-​watching.
Let’s be real. For nasty fast food, sometimes McDonalds can be delicious. For instance, when you are drunk. I am a huge fan of the dollar sundaes– they are delicious!

They renovated this place last year and it is the chicest little McDonalds I’ve ever seen.
But that aside, I’m a health freak, so I have to be pretty effing drunk to eat here. Even at 4am, reeking of beer and shame with makeup smeared, the staff never outwardly passes judgement, which is something I appreciate when I need a late night drunk snack.
Once, I got really lucky and some guy asked for my number here. I started giving him my real number up until the last digit, when I sobered up and realized I just got hit on in McDonalds, and fled.
Good times.

I don’t like how some spots still advertise Shamrocks Shakes but then don’t have them. St. Patty’s Day was a while back but why you still have the posters up.
I never got to try the damn thing, lol. Oh, yea and why they start charging extra 20 cents for an extra BBQ sauce?

the people that work there after 1am have WAYYY too much power. way too much.
but i accepted it.

Why are you reading a review for McDonald’s? Well seeing how you are, this place is cool because its one of the only McDonald’s in Manhattan to have a parking lot and drive through (almost every time I’m here I see someone get towed so not park here unless you’re eating here). Their ATM (like every other Mc D’s is 99 cents), they have WIFI (though not free but very cheap), a second floor with lots of seating and its usually pretty empty so a pretty good place to have a meeting, work on something on your laptop, or just kill time. Wish they had outdoor seating to sit out on a nice day but oh well, you can’t have it all.
And then theres the standard Mc Donald’s menu, I’m not going to review that stuff, you know what its like, cheap and easy (insert joke here).

This is for the ATM.
In Manhattan, I’ve seen ATM fees as high as $ 4.00. (That’s 4 items on the McDonald’s 99 cent menu!)
I’d like you all to know that you can always count on McDonald’s for 99 cent ATM fees.
This little gem is always there for me when neighboring ATM’s threaten to steal my cash.
So stay away from overpriced deli’s, and annoying bank branches trying to prod you with unwarranted fees.
McDonald’s is your ATM haven.
