Qualified place to spend your leisure time with friends & families
We stop here 7 days a week, on our way out to plumb the new Thompson airport. I can honestly say, out of the 50 McDonald’s I’ve visited in Bc, Alberta, sask, Manitoba, Ontario, and Scotia, this is the tightest run ship I’ve ever seen.
Last feb., i saw the manager out front in a blizzard shovelling the walkway himself. The next week, I needed to use the bathroom, and he graciously let me in, right after he had mopped….same guy!
It’s unreal to see the leader at any restaurant these days, getting down and dirty with the jobs that no one wants to do. I work in the trades, and this is a tactic I use to train apprentices for jobs I know no one wants to do….do it yourself.
I can’t express how much I respect the manager at this particular location, and I cant say I’ve ever received hotter, consistent food from any McDonald’s, over the course of a year of visiting one location.
If there is a consistency award company wide, this branch should receive it.
Every morning:
Sausage and egger, two hashbrowns, extra large trip trip.
You guys start my day on a good note, regardless of how it goes sideways after breakfast.
Thank you.
McDonald’s in Thompson is exactly what you think it is — predictable, plain, and somehow still managing a 3.7‑star rating, which honestly feels like a stretch. The food hasn’t changed in decades: the same burgers, the same nuggets, the same fries — mass‑produced, over‑salted, and kept alive by nostalgia.
The biggest difference now? The price. These days, you’re paying $14 to $16 for any meal that isn’t a kid’s combo. Four years ago, that same meal was half the price. So yes, you’re now spending premium money for something that was assembled in under a minute, loaded with preservatives, and designed to slowly kill you one craving at a time.
Flavor? It’s all sauce and salt. The “meat” tastes the same in every province — probably because it’s the same everywhere. The buns could sit on a counter for a month and still look camera‑ready. The fries are addictive because they’ve been engineered to be, not because they’re actually good.
Still, we all fall for it. Years of commercials trained us to think McDonald’s is comfort food — the golden arches burned into our collective brain since childhood. Sometimes you just want the fries, the Big Mac, or the coffee. And to be fair, the coffee’s probably the best part — hot, quick, and far better than what Tim Hortons has turned into.
So yeah, McDonald’s in Thompson does what it’s supposed to. It’s consistent, convenient, and overpriced. You go there because it’s easy, not because it’s good. Realistically, 2.5 to 3 stars is fair. Anything higher is just denial — or someone reviewing with their nostalgia goggles on.

Não achei o local de forma geral tão limpo, o parquinho para as crianças estava bem sujo, minha filha reclamou da sujeira.
