Hands down the CLEANEST and nicest McDonald’s I’ve ever been to!
Stopped here after being stuck in snow ❄️ ⛄️ traffic for hours, and despite how busy it was, the staff was fast, friendly, and patient. Huge thank you to Issac, the manager, for keeping everything running smoothly and giving me the Gingerbread
Man☺️
A much-needed warm and welcoming stop on our Christmas Day adventures🎄🎁❤️❤️

Went through the drive thru, it was busy and service was a bit bizarre. We ordered two orders of buy one get one for a $1 mcdouble and chicken sandwich, nothing else. We were told to pull forward to the 3rd window (appearing as a storage room only) for our order, observed other orders in and out (or thru) making it the bizarre part. Other than that, food was good.

Staff was excellent and genuinely happy to be there the person begging the patrons for a coffee was a serious detractor.
