The breakfast sandwich was salty. The wait time was close to 10 minutes! They didn't care whether you stayed or left. Kept asking for assistance and was told we'll be right with you! Very slow location!

Worst McDonald's to ever be. Don't ever go here past 9 or 10pm. YOU WILL BE WAITING 45 MINUTES FOR YOUR FOOD EVEN IF YOUVE ORDERED AHEAD, EMPLOYEES ON NIGHT SHIFT NEVER USE THE LATE NIGHT WALK UP WINDOW. THEY REFUSE AND MAKE YOU SIT IN THE WORLDS LONGEST AND SLOWEST DRIVE THRU LINE. SHAME ON MCDONALD'S FOR EVEN LETTING THIS FRANCHISE CONTINUE TO OPERATE
