I limit my McDonalds intake to probably a few times per year because it’s so bad for you, but I do go there in a pinch, and I’ve been to this location enough times to give it a review. Pros: It’s pretty clean and fairly big. Plenty of seating, two TVs and a kids section. Cons: It’s McDonalds food.(Bland.) Bathrooms could be cleaner. And the workers here, although generally nice, barely speak English. Funny story: One time I was here, the counter lady’s diction was so poor, she told me something or asked me a question, and after some back and forth I just couldn’t get what she meant. Finally I kind of shrugged and sheepishly smiled so as not to be rude and she walked away to get my food. When she came back it was a completely different meal than what I had ordered. I politely told her that was not what I ordered, and she got mad and started yelling at me(again in undecipherable English/Spanish, who knows what!) I was kind of shell-shocked and just stood there in disbelief, but luckily the manager saw the commotion and shooed her away. He then quickly corrected my order and apologized. Luckily I have not seen her here again since that incident. They had better keep her at the grill and away from anything requiring customer interaction!

Strange, but I never did a review of McD’s near me. Maybe it’s because I rarely go there — but I did go there a few days ago; and hence, my scholarly review: A few weeks ago, my wife(a.k.a. «The Boss») came home from work and dumped a few things that looked like stickers on our kitchen desk. Actually, they were McD pull-off stickers that she got from one of her co-workers. These stickers were attached to some cups and boxes of items that McD sells — apparently this was a marketing gimmick. She wanted to redeem these stickers and get what would become pretty much a free meal. I am not a fan of McDonalds, but I know that they do serve a few things that are not particularly bad for your health, and MOSTIMPORTANTLY, I remembered that on the backside of a Jewel receipt, I had a deal for a free beverage and fries with the purchase of a sandwich. So, I acquiesced to visit our nearby temple of fast foods. We live maybe ¾ of a mile from this McD’s, and I am pretty familiar with it. When I walk Emma the Stinky Dog, she tries to pull me into the place: she really knows her fast food temples. My wife ordered a Quarter Pounder cholesterolburger with fries, ice cream, and a soft drink. She had free stickers for everything except the soft drink. I found something called an artisan chicken sandwich, which had a low 360 calorie count, but 960 mg of sodium — and got a free order of fries(whoops, up goes the fat count!) and beverage from the Jewel receipt. The people working the counter were friendly enough and skilled enough to take our order and fill it to our satisfaction, the store looked clean, and the overall experience met my expectations; so I had no beef with my expectations [and no beef to eat, either]; so I will say that my rating is OK. I don’t rate this place with three stars to indicate that anyone or anything is bad at this location; I don’t rate it as highly as I would like to because I am not really a fan of fatty and over-salted foods. On the other hand, I would have rated this place a 5 when I was a child. At that time, I thought that McD was a gourmet experience. Mrs B, who is 66, still thinks a Quarter Pounder is an epicurean delight.

This review is on weird registers at this location I don’t understand why the register is ‘broken’, according to staff members, when I tried to use coupons but it’s suddenly in service only when I’m paying for my meal(o0~??). If you cannot take the coupon just say so. Food and service is the same, friendly, speedy, and consistent. I still eat here but will always be fearful of ‘breaking’ the register by presenting another coupon. Deary me!

It take back the comment about the staff being nice. I just needed an extra cup and while the cashier was about to give it to me, someone who looked like a manager yelled at the cashier, paid no attention to me, and the cashier said she couldn’t give it to me.

I was craving some Mcdonald’s during my lunch break so I googled for the closest one to my office. This one popped up and it was fairly close, so I jumped in my car and drove towards it. When I got close to the destination, I couldn’t see any big M signs towering in the sky so I was a bit confused. I drove into the strip mall and didn’t see any Mcdonald’s. Once I drove a around, I saw that it wasn’t a standalone store. There is no drive thru here. You just park your car and walk in and get your food. The lady at the counter seemed to be dressed like a manager and she definitely acted like one. She offered great service compared to other Mcdonald’s I’ve been to. The food was fast and the fries were super fresh(right out the fryer!). We joked around a bit and off I went to eat my food. Yummy!

I’ve been going here since I was little. Its really not that bad. There was a little graffiti on the walls of the bathroom but that can always be cleaned. But all in all its not that bad. No drive through is no big deal either. Parking lot is plenty big.

It’s McDonalds… It’s a strange location. It’s not a stand alone building like any other McDonalds I’ve been too. No Drive-thru My experience was like any other McDonalds. The food was consistent. The staff was friendly, unlike what other reviews have said. I would return here.

Ok. I’m afraid I have to update my earlier review. The staff at this restaurant is the absolute pits. Food is average McD’s quality but served with a very lousy attitude. But it appears that if you speak Spanish you might have a chance of getting a smile from them. This could quite possibly be your worst McDonalds experience ever.

Worst service from any Mc Donald’s I have ever visited. How hard is it to take a food order. The employees that work here are a joke. They should dress like Ronald Mc Donald because they act like clowns. The new breakfast dollar menu is atrocious. Nothing but garbage it’s not suitable for dogs. The coffee takes like shit I never tasted shit but I’m sure it tastes like the coffee at this golden arch. I found gang graffiti in the bathroom stalls what a disaster. This restaurants Manager should be ashamed for the operation of this armpit of the Mc Donald’s corporation. These are the reasons you should not come here and go to another Mc Donald’s there are two others within 5 minutes. No drive thru: Horrible service: Poorly prepared food: Graffiti in the bathrooms: Moronic employees: Thank you drive thru
