Staff is always friendly and orders always ready on time! Not my fav style for the crab Rangoon or the boneless spare ribs, but also not bad.

“Imagine biting into hot, crispy fries alongside a juicy cheeseburger, all washed down with an ice-cold tea. Enjoy fast service from super friendly staff in a spacious, comfortable dining area.”

“I entered the establishment with great haste as I eagerly anticipated my lemonade and double cheeseburger. Despite the fact that Waterbury is often the subject of unfair criticism, this particular McDonald’s far exceeds expectations and certainly deserves more than its current four-star rating.
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with prompt and professional service. The staff demonstrated both efficiency and courtesy, ensuring that my order was prepared accurately and delivered in a timely manner. My lemonade was refreshingly crisp, and the double cheeseburger was prepared to perfection—hot, flavorful, and assembled with remarkable attention to detail.
What impressed me most was the establishment’s commitment to maintaining a clean and welcoming environment, a quality that is too often overlooked in fast-food dining. The atmosphere was pleasant, the service was exemplary, and the overall experience was unexpectedly refined for a quick meal.
In an era where customer service can be inconsistent, this McDonald’s serves as a shining example of operational excellence. I departed thoroughly satisfied and would not hesitate to return. Five stars without reservation.”

I used to go there all the time for Dominican food, however, this place has better flavor in my opinion (I tried their shrimp mofongo, pernil, and saltfish). Also, Via Al Paraiso is so stingy with their shrimp 🍤 with the shrimp mofongo...this place is NOT!! A much better portion for the money!!
Also,the woman at the counter was so nice!! She let me try some of the food while I was waiting on my mofongo!! 🥰”

“Best customer service Really fast”

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for an exceptional individual who has truly revolutionized my trading experience. Mrs. Beth Abrams, a highly skilled and professional broker manager, has surpassed all expectations with her extraordinary abilities. In my quest for a trusted broker assistant or manager, I have scoured the online landscape, but no one comes close to her unmatched expertise. Witnessing my first successful withdrawal of $34,000 in less than a week was a moment of revelation. It became abundantly clear that Mrs. Abrams possesses a level of skill that is unparalleled in the industry. Her astute accuracy and meticulous attention to detail have earned her a remarkable reputation. Rest assured, there is no other trader online who can deliver such consistently sound and accurate results.”

You get one star in service and atmosphere because it doesn’t exist.”

Tonight I order delivery and my pizza came in wrong but with no hesitation the general manager Owen made sure to make it right. It also helps to speak to people with respect because mistakes can happen, what you do to correct it speaks volumes. The staff is always great and in good spirits. Keep up the great work!”
