    Avoid this place at all costs! Gurpreet, the manager, clearly disregards food safety. They were spraying non-food-safe chemicals (covered with stickers to hide what is was) all over the kitchen to combat a bug problem, while fruit flies swarmed around. Rat traps were also visible around the store. To make matters worse, the place is overrun by homeless individuals, and the manager seemed indifferent to customer safety. You're guaranteed to get sick if you eat here, not to mention the staff never change their gloves. I got this photo after they left it sitting on a table while checking on a man sleeping in the bathroom AVOID!

    1/4 pounder meal was absolutely terrible - worst I have ever had from a McDonalds! Fries seemed like they had been reheated - not crisp but kinda mushy and not near enough salt / burger patty was cold enough that grease had solidified so ended up throwing it out / coke even had bad taste like pop lines were dirty. I will never order from this location again.
