- RSRael SchulmanFeb 20, 20261.0When was the last time you walked into a McDonald's and an employee greeted you by saying "welcome to McDonald's" and if they were busy adding a polite, "someone will be with you in a moment"? Instead of watching these people actively avoid making eye contact, working as hard as they can to ignore the front end and any human life in the lobby? Or another mystery -- when was the last time you actually got the food you ordered and paid for instead of whatever they could stuff into the bag? I mean work sucks, but maybe a smile at least? The other reviews about the manager of this place track with my own experience. Don't expect a conversation. 5 stars for atmosphere because this one has a play place and that's good for the kids.
- KHKatrina HamiltonFeb 15, 20265.0Great work!
- THTrevor HankwitzJan 22, 20261.0Skipped my order twice had to wait over 30 min for a quarter pounder. Done with this place.
- TWThe Wandering WallacesJan 20, 20261.0Today the manager tried to charge us $6 for a bacon and egg biscuit with no bacon and egg instead of charging us for a plain biscuit. We also asked for two sides of bacon. He charged us for two sides and only gave us two slices instead. Watch the prices here and what they ring you up for. That’s not ok.
- DRDavid RobertsonDec 31, 20251.0My wife and I along with our 3 boys (6, 13, 18) went to this McDonald's location for a quick meal and it was a bad experience they refused to give my 6 year old his drink that is supposed to come with his happy meal. First said we'd have to pay for it, then blamed it on us giving the drink to our 13 year old then switched to saying we didn't tell them that we wanted a drink with his meal, we'll it's supposed to come with one the manager even admitted that it was supposed to. We're not walking into another McDonald's we've had other bad experiences with service at this McDonald's location but it's the first time I've complained
