I’ve been coming to this location for the past 15 years, always on Sunday and in the mornings. The staff is always super friendly and service is fast.

I come to this McDonald’s about 3 times a week and they get me right every single time. They never make me wait and never get my order wrong. The consistency in their service has been amazing, better than most places. The managers are amazing as well and run a great team. Lots of patient people…

I had to go check on my order after waiting 20 minutes. When I got it there were no napkins. I asked to speak to the manager. I told him their service was terrible and explained why. The manager said he knew. I had to go to the napkin holder but then found out it was empty. I went back to the counter and they got me a napkin from the back. Their service has gone south!

945pm Wednesday the 7th, 2026. So if you order a Big Mac meal at this time the fries are automatically cold, and dry? On top of that they need some new hires for sure. The kid/guy at the drive through I sensed had a bad attitude over the microphone when ordering like I was putting him out for doing his $20 (worth about $2.00 if that) an hour job. If he had any less motivation toward his job you might just as well have a mummy/troll working that window. He does not care to have that job and it’s obvious to me the consumer. I support community businesses in my every day travel but never this place again. Not the first time I’ve been disappointed at the location. Do your business a favor and fire this guy as soon as you read this post. I’ve complained about this place once before but to no avail. No concern at all for the terrible cold food and some of the worst customer service I’ve ever had. Instead of saying thx, it’s way more like no thx. Get it together this is not service, it’s disservice…
