The food is usually consistent; however, my experience during late hours at this location has been extremely disappointing. I am a long-time supporter of McDonald’s, but both today and yesterday this location demonstrated significant issues with service efficiency.
I arrived around 2:00 AM and, as of 2:45 AM, I am still waiting for someone to take my order. I remained in my car in the rain for an extended period without acknowledgment. Several vehicles that were initially behind me left one by one due to the prolonged delay. I had my child with me, who became increasingly upset, as we expected this to be a quick stop.
This location appears to require better late-night management and staffing oversight. At the time of writing this review, no one has come to the window or communicated any updates regarding the delay.

I’ve order uber from this specific McDonald’s and almost every time they did not add what I’ve order. They’ve missed my fries, extra sauces, even a whole McChicken sandwich. I wouldn’t recommend delivery, but pick up is probably fine considering you can actually check if you have everything and get on them if you’re missing something.
