The employees here are beyond rude!! Drive thru screens don’t work so you cannot confirm your order is correct. I get to the window and PAID for my stuff and checked it upon getting it and was missing things. The gentlemen at the window was trying to accommodate. But his manager or shift was a complete disgrace to the company. Rushing me to drive away when an order I paid for already was incomplete. Yelling at me to “go go go” just so they can meet their drive thru times instead of caring about customer satisfaction and standards!! I would not recommend this location, you’re better off visiting wolf rd or Schenectady!

The fries were cold. And the air was to cold. The staff was professional but lacking in the warmth that my hometown McDonald’s has.
Not the worst but not the best.

My last few visits to any McDonald's has included subpar food and mediocre service. This McDonald's was no different. The staff was working very hard but they seem to be understaffed and all of them seem to be doing multiple jobs. However, the worst part I was the food itself. I got chicken nuggets which were shriveled up dry hard and basically horrible. The french fries were unedible and I didn't bother eating them so I just threw them away. It's because of this repeating experience that I only use McDonald's as food for last resort.
