This place is horrible they are rude your wait time is longer than planned even if you order off the app and once you pull up no one is here to greet you. And the young lady with the dreads her sorry self is telling everyone that comes in to order on the kiosk not evening asking what form of payment they have. A young lady just cancelled her order because she was waiting for over a hour.

Went inside and ordered from kiosk. Waited 30 mins no food. Walked out and left even though i paid. This is second McDonald's ive been to with over 30 min wait in the past week. Drive thru seemed to get top priority.

Everyone at this location needs to be fired including the managers. One employee (female) was high as a kite. You can smell the marijuana as soon as the drive thru window was opened, she’s so high tried to hand me my entire order without a bag. It’s super unprofessional, extremely long wait times and the food is not fresh.

You can't even get food here. Nothing fast about this location. Roll up at 10:30am and there's a 20 minute wait on lunch and out of breakfast. Do better.
