    I’ve been to this fast food place several times, and each time, I’ve been more impressed with the service and food quality. The restaurant has a clean, comfortable atmosphere, and the staff is always welcoming. I usually order a classic cheeseburger, and it’s always cooked perfectly – juicy, flavorful, and served with fresh toppings. The fries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and never soggy, which is a big plus. I also tried their milkshake, and it was creamy and delicious, the perfect way to finish off a meal. One thing I really appreciate is the quick service. Even during busy hours, I rarely have to wait more than 5-10 minutes for my order. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quick and satisfying meal

    The service sucks! I can’t do seperate orders in sterling but I go across the river and I can. I also have to wait back in line to get food again because of that. Then I have to repeat myself on what I want 5x and still get it wrong. Sterling McDonald’s sucks I wouldn’t go here
