Got went through the drive through at 7:30am, only 1 other car in the lane next to me already ordering, not busy. Wait a long time, after the car before me drives ahead to pay, another car pulls into that lane and the person working the drive through helps them first. When they finally get to me I tell them they served that person before me when I was there first and waiting, their response was “ok, what do you want?”
I reversed out and left. Totally disrespectful and unnecessarily long wait.
Never coming back to this place. This was the final straw for a place with a number of issues over years now that have seen no improvement.

Horrible service here. Order is wrong. Drive through is insanely backed up. Food is cold burger and fries. Need to sit in reserve just for fries a burger and a drink for over 12 minutes

WORST McDonald EVER
You need to wait 9 minutes for drive thru, nothing special, just regular chicken nuggets.
Yes, 9 minutes waiting time for drive thru.
It can be longer if you dine in.
Inside the restaurant is worse, the ground full of oil, they don’t clean it, just put a plate on it.
Worst McDonald ever.

Very poor Service making the delivery driver wait outside in the rain whereas they are closed instead of coming to the curbside pick up. Only noticed this mac doing this sort of things all other McDonald’s when closed allows to pick up thru drive thru.
