    The food is McDonald's it is what it is but the place feels like it's run by robots there's nobody there to greet you or meet you they want you to order through the computer screen and then somebody pops out of a window if you need something to let getting it you need a refill you better put out a search party kind of a weird place very minimal seating this is the future of McDonald's they can have it bring back the playground in the employees and the old fun atmosphere not this automated 20th century bull wouldn't be surprised at this location goes out of business if it wasn't for his busy Street

    The Hispanic manager lady at this location did not deliver the food to us and although I had already placed a mobile order and paid, she refused to provide food for me or provide a refund.

    I've come here pretty often for the month of October due to the Monopoly promotion and the free codes, as it's the closest McDonalds to me. Every single time I have been here for dine-in, the wait is abysmal. If I order too far ahead, the staff will take the pick-up order OFF the shelf and put it back in the back. If I want sauce or ketchup or they mess up my order (which happened pretty frequently), it'd take at least 5 to 10 minutes to get ahold of someone, even though the ketchup bin is just out of reach. The staff don't have the best attitude either, when they come out to deliver a pick-up order, they never stick around for a bit to see what the people standing around at the counter are waiting for. The food's okay here, pretty standard McDonald's, but the service quality and speed is honestly very frustrating so I'm docking them a lot of points for that. Go to the 290 Bristol location instead!!
