You order ahead of time to make sure you don't have to wait, but without fail you have to wait anyway. They're almost always well past the time it should've been ready. Also the portions have gotten a lot smaller.

I placed a sip club order for a large soda to be picked up through drive-thru. I pull into drive-thru and I’m told that the drive-thru is closed. Why would drive-thru be closed? In the time it takes for him to tell me it’s closed, he could hand me a soda. I remember when I worked in fast food. If we didn’t have enough people, that just meant you did more work faster. Shutting down drive-thru or closing the dining room was never an option. So, I didn’t get my soda. I didn’t have time to run in with whatever nonsense was going on inside.

Ordered and paid for a whole chicken bacon ranch sandwich on 11/6/2025. Unfortunately did not unwrap sandwich until we got home. Does this look like a whole chicken bacon ranch sandwich to you?

Mcdonalds like customer service, was more concerned if "that will be all" rather than what else i would like. I felt like I was taking my own order at the drive through, literally said I wanted a you pick 2 and after I told her what my first choice was she asked if that would be all I said no? And proceed to tell her my second choice. Didn't bother to offer a drink or a pastry item since it was discounted as I got a whole meal. Didn't ask for my card or phone number for rewards I had to ask her to enter it in the system. Also charged me for a cup of soup instead bowl and they were out of broccoli cheddar soup and French baguette bread for my side.

I dont even want to give them a star..... absolutely disgusting. Every time which is very rare my family and I try to get something at this location. Its they are only accepting online app orders. The best today was my husband order a new French dipper sandwich, a soup and a macaroni and cheese.... and we paid. Than waited at the drive thru window for over ten minutes. I said to my husband to knock on the drive thru window... young girl came to the window who originally took our order and payment... and she said our order was next on the screen. I said absolutely not. It's been over ten minutes or more. At a drive thru... no absolutely not! We got a refund. The general manager Brian is very unprofessional and stating that he is short staffed and he can only get minors. I said to him very inappropriate and unprofessional to make that comment that you are understaffed. He said if I know anyone who wants a job to send them his way. I said absolutely not!!! Absolutely disgusting and disturbing how there was five employees running around, grabbing their head pieces and we had to wait over how long for us to just get a refund. And no one was wearing hair nets. He said that they can wear hats. Hahahahaha oh my! What a joke! End Rant!!!!
