I visited on a Sunday morning around 9:30 am and was pleased to find no line. The staff took my order promptly, and by the time I got to the window, my food was ready. I ordered the sausage McGriddle. While the McGriddle bread was a bit dry for my taste, the meal was still enjoyable overall.

They messed up on my order twice in one week. My four piece chicken nuggets only had three and my medium iced tea was the small. Other than that, everyone was friendly and food was good.

I really like the food, the excellent service, the place with a lot of homeless people, it's not the business's fault, but everything is fine.

I ordered from the App and the money was deducted. I entered the driver's channel normally and waited for a long time! ! ! But my order was cancelled for no reason! Well, you don't need me as a customer, goodbye!

If your religion doesn't allow pork or you don't eat pork, do not come here. I got a regular happy meal cheeseburger and they had bacon in there! I didn't even realize that I was eating it until it was too late. Why would bacon be a part of a happy meal burger??

MC Donald is MC Donald all over the world, we all know that the quality is not excellent, however in at least 30 years that I have been frequenting it all over the world, sometimes also for convenience and speed of service, I have never regretted it.

They always find a a way to mess up your order that’s crazy. Won’t ever be back to that location, I’d rather drive a little longer and go to a better location. Got the very expensive new BLT QPC with cheese and they’re handing me a Mac chicken at the drive then have me wait 5min. That sandwich was so dry the patties way over cooked I know it’s Mac Donald’s but still! Train your staff better!!!
On top of that my Dr Pepper was flat. Maybe if I pay more I’ll have it bubbly ??♂️.
