I understand it gets busy at lunch because of high school kids. Still no reason to refuse to answer questions of customers. Instead of answering questions, I watched manager throw his arms up and walk away from several customers when I said he ignored me and walked away. He waited for door to be closing and yelled have a nice day, sarcastically. Guess when your low staffed, you can act like u want. Smh

I got 2 burgers that were cold and burnt. And my fries felt like they had been sitting out for hours.

I used the app to place an order to grab quickly as I headed to work. Service was fast and semi friendly. I paid $2.59 extra for extra bacon and there was only 2 full pieces of bacon my bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. I did take a picture of the sandwich but can't attach it here. Prices increasing while quality decreases is exactly why I don't usually stop for fast food.

Absolutely horrible experience. Went through the drive-thru. Didn't even order because it took 15 minutes for the inside lane order taker to take the order in front of us while 5 cars went through the outside lane. Then, when we tried to leave, we spent another 20 minutes waiting to get out while the line didn't move at all. This isn't the first time this has happened here. McDonald's corporate needs to come in and clean house and start over at this location.
