    Organized, too many people need another one around Johnston and off the highway.

    Good experience just cold and over done chicken sandwich. They replaced it very happy. But it was a mobile order I took with me and had to go all the way back.

    Good customer service, fast, efficient, food was hot , drink was cold, dining room was clean. It's a good McDonald's. But the prices? Does Ronald know we're having economic struggles? This is the time to lower prices! And I'm not talking about a few value meals with 4 nuggets a flat cheeseburger and don't sell strips at a typical restaurant Face it, your McDonald's nobody is going there especially for strips that are not great anyway. Stick to watch you know and lower all prices you will almost double your profits
