You have to fight homeless people to get to the speaker menu to order. They will not take your order at the window. You will have to fight just to order here.\n Very dangerous.\n Very bad.

I dont understand what the point of "Ordering ahead online" is for if they always send me to park, and wait another 30 minutes? I thought the point of ordering ahead was to get your food faster?

OMG!! Where do I even start?? Me, my grandparents, my sister, and my little cousin order food, 7 items in total, and it takes around 30-40 minutes for them to give us the food. I understood, because they may have had online orders or a busy drive-thru. But when I got the food, I opened my chicken wrap that was not supposed to have the spicy sauce, but I open it and it is FILLED with it!! Then my cheeseburger’s patty was pink!! I almost got nauseous!! Never choosing this location again!! :(

Was double charged on the app at this location that I have never visited. Contacted customer service for a refund for about $5.00, that required an investigation, and over an hour of being on the phone. I also called the store directly and the employee I spoke to lied and said orders that werent picked up would be refunded within 24 hours. Finally after 4 days the manager calls me and tells me I either have to put in a dispute with my bank or go through a bunch of extra steps to get a $5.00 check. At this point I'm more mad at the waste of my time than the broken app stealing my money. If I ever do actually visit this store, I will be sure to put in a low review on McD voice as well. I also never got my refund as I already wasted too much time up to that point.
