The customer service was great. I got my food fairly quickly. For some reason the food at this location tastes ten times better. I would drive out of my way to go here.

Overall it was an average McDonalds. Not the best, but not the worst. There was almost no wait time as far as service but that meant I got a cold big Mac, Not the ideal trade-off. Service was ok. And the big Mac I got was ok at best. It was NOT hot, it just tasted cheap (which it was). Overall if your in a pinch and need something quick this will work but go across the street to B-Bops for better food and better service.

I stop and grab breakfast here at least once a week on my way to work. The lady working the front window is always courteous. Never really a long wait even mornings where there's cars lined up and they've never gotten my order wrong Large caramel iced coffee and two sausage McMuffin s

I sat and waited for over 20 minutes and did not receive my curbside delivery. I called repeatedly and had a young girl come outside that stated she was management. I repeatedly asked for money to be refunded. She tried to physically put order in my vehicle when I requested a refund and would not give her name so I could not report her. Terrible customer service. I even went inside on crutches to request a refund. Customer service gets a big zero in my boom. I will be contacting their owners.
