I always get decent service, depending on the time it can get very packed inside and the wait for drive thru is a while, also the bathrooms are kinda dirty sometimes but considering how many people use it, it's not too bad. Overall the people are always kind and if they mess up my order they always fix it in a timely manner.

This is your average McDonald's, but in a horrible location. Parking lot is tricky and semi- dangerous. People will definitely walk in front of your car because they're drunk, high or just generally dazed and confused. Go VERY slow. And you will most likely be approached in the drive-thru by someone requesting food or money. I do not recommend this location.

This store is always filthy dirty and disgusting people using drugs needles, smoking God knows what. and then walking up to you and constantly asking for money. I don't know how people can eat from this McDonald's really any McDonald's. But this store is always so disgusting and dirty. I will say they did clean it up a little. Because on my last visit to pick up a delivery order. It was a lot worse than this.
