McDonald’s

My local McDonald’s only go here out of desperation and if you are seriously starving and have no other options otherwise I recommend going quickly through the drive-​through. On a good note this McDonald’s has never messed up one of my orders and no one has begged me for money or was shot in the parking lot when I was leaving!

Great food. Service left much to be desired. The employee taking my order was very short and did not have the winning attitude I usually find most McDonalds’ employees to have. I got the chicken nugget happy meal. The nuggets were just delectable– no complaints there. They were crunchy but not overcooked. Yummy yummy in my tummy! :P The fries could have been a little warmer, but overall they were still tasty (would you expect anything less from McDonalds?!). Happy meals now come with a yogurt or apple slices which was a nice touch. I went with the apple slices but the yogurt looked great as well. The best part of the meal was definitely the desert though! It was the best Oreo McFlurry I’ve had in a long, long time! The Oreo to ice cream ratio was on point and they even let me add whipped cream :) All in all I was pleased with my experience at this Mcdonalds and would recommend this location for your next date night, late night stop, or just ‘cuz!

I will never be back to this location! It is a split drive through lane and they just took 5 orders from the other side before switching to me. People behind me were backing up and switching to the other lane and ordering before me. The lady at the window was not very accepting of me letting her know what happen. I have never seen a place take orders that way. It took 15 min before I was addressed. Ridiculous.

Considering the bad luck I’ve been having with McDonald’s lately this one is a breath of fresh air. I came in towards the end of the lunch rush. The place was clean. The bathrooms were clean. The staff was friendly and fast. The gave up plenty of napkins without me having to ask.
Later when one of the staff members was cleaning the dining area she talked to my kids. (I like it when people treat the girls like tiny humans instead of acknowledging them with a grunt.)
Hallelujah! The chicken nuggets were fully cooked!
Plus their drive through is 24hrs.
This is the McDonald’s to go to.

I’ve been in line for probably 30 minutes now. This is ridiculous! I honestly can’t stand mcdonalds in the city. When we got our food it was cold and the Breakfast burritos were hard. I won’t be coming back!

It’s alllllllways a wait here. I mean really, IT IS!!!
In the heart of UPT NOLA, Claiborne & Louisiana… Claiborne & Washington… I mean how much more UPT can you be??? Well I guess there’s more UPT, but yeah for this review… UPT, Magnolia… yeah e yeah!!!
Ok back to the review:
Yeah so this is one of the slowest McDonalds this side of heaven. Right next to a church, you would think the service would be faster, church people coming out all at once, I mean really… BUUUUUUT NOOOOOO!!! But I guess it is «fast, but not so fast food» & that should be expected? Hmmmmm.
I can admit on this day, although the service was as stated above, the food was good, temperature was good & the cashier was moderately enthused/​friendly…
This is a newer Mickie Dees, as it has the 2 order taking lanes, ummmm helps to add to the slowness… yeahhhh so slow & steady wins the race I guess.
Once again, like I said, slow order taking service, but ok food…

Ok, it’s McDonald’s ya’ll so I feel funny giving it more than three stars? Am I crazy? Anywho, this is for the drive thru. There are two lines which gets TWO THUMBS UP from me! The line went relatively quickly which is great bc I was on the way to pick up my Mom from work and she was dragging me to Oakwood Mall. I figured I would get a Kids Meal (cheeseburger with Big Mac sauce-​they charge you $.25 and it is SO worth it), no pickles, girl toy (for the nieces), and diet coke bc that cancels all the fat!) and not be hungry in case she took a while. She wanted to go to Dillard’s and get perfume but who knows where else she would drag me.
Plus if you know me I love shopping but I HATE crowds. I especially hate going to the mall during busy times like Black Friday, Christmas etc. it’s just not worth it to me. It’s just stuff and I can order things online. I am impatient, and I don’t like people bumping into me, ramming my cart, etc. anywho, I digress. My point was I am not a pleasant person to be around when I’m hungry and tired so Mickey D’s was my saving grace last night.
Turns out I was dragging my Mom around bc it took an hour to get my stuff engraved. But my Mom and I found great sales on shoes in our various sizes so it was a win-​win situation!
Plus, I DID see «Supersize Me» and although it thoroughly repulsed me to see the changes in the guy’s body, I still occasionally indulge in Mickey D’s. hey, what can I say, they got me when I was young. Had so many damned birthday parties at the one on Dowman and Morrison.
I remember the play area, back when they fried the apple pies. My parents let me have a happy meal but no cold drink, only milk (later discovered I was lactose intolerant). Mickey D’s was a treat and not a regular occurrence. It’s my go-​to comfort food in a pinch. Especially the ones opened 24 hours when back in the day I would be out past 10 pm! Hehe now I just start yawning am under the covers by then!
I really enjoy Big Mac sauce, Filet-​o-​Fish with extra tartar sauce (I just love tartar sauce in general), chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, their French fries, apple pies, their sausage/​egg/​cheese biscuit, hashbrowns. Ok, I’ve said too much.
Btw, I don’t get the McRib, now I know I’m gonna get hurt for that comment but for real, it’s not a real rib? Ok, I’m done!
Happy Fast Food Eating!
