Easily the worst McDonalds I've ever gone to. If you order a shake they will hand you a shake barely mixed, if you order an Iccee they will hand you one that looks like mostly syrup like it's normal. It's staffed by teenagers who will roll their eyes at you, lack any form of professionalism and clearly the manager doesn't care about quality or how their staff acts. If you order anything chicken related be prepared to wait over 20 minutes or MORE while a huge line piles up behind you. You will staff hanging out in the parking lot and run into the building when you go through the drive-thru. AVOID
