“Dependable for quick, affordable meals with consistent taste across locations. The burgers, fries, and breakfast items come out fast, and this branch keeps seating clean with efficient staff even during rush hours. Great for travelers who want predictable quality at any time of day“
“Beware of the horrible smelling homeless dude that loiters in the doorway as you enter. They claimed they called police but nothing was done. This man smells aweful! When I was homeless, you couldn’t even tell!
This is my go to location. I like how they bring the food to the table. Yesenia is the best!
The best thing about this location is the music that they play. And there’s never a long line.“
“Went during lunch, used the app. There must have been 50 school age kids inside, not ordering. The manager was polite, yet firm to the kids to get them to leave. As I was stuck in the back and couldn't make it to the pick up window, she noticed my struggle and asked my number, which she personally brought to me. Great customer service in frantic lunch hour setting! Thank you!“
“They have redeemed themselves a bit, so I updated my review.
It seems to be a running issue with most food places lately with not giving you what was ordered. I wish I could say it's inly McD, BK, or any other fast food restaurant, but it's not.“
“Really impressed with how clean this place is and how quickly they serve. My order came out exactly the way I wanted, which doesn’t always happen elsewhere. The staff were polite and attentive, and the self serve drink station is such a nice touch. Everything about this visit was spot on!“
“Had a mad craving for a McChicken after my buddy pulled up to the climbing gym with one. I hit the drive through where the service was courteous and quick and the food hit the spot. That's all you could ever ask for. The McChicken/McDouble meal deal is one of the last really good values in fast food.“
“Many of the self order kiosks were broken and there wasn’t a person at the counter to order from when I arrived. Kiosk asked for your table number- as if someone was going to bring you your meal- and there’s no way to by pass it or clear instructions that it doesn’t matter what number you enter.“
“This location, in the South Chicago neighborhood of Chicago, is good for fast service, and has ample seating for ordering inside the restaurant, with the lobby open from at least 7:00 AM. The spicy chicken biscuit is good, but they have NO condiments for it and no butter nor jelly for the biscuit: disappointing.“
“Omg we came after the club it’s 2am rn it’s soo crowded but the food was fresh I gave it 4 stars instead of lower cause of the security guard and the locked bathrooms. The food was so fresh too so that was a major plus. I also made friends while waiting so it was fun and ppl cheered when we would get our orders cause of the long wait lol“
“I had a great experience at this McDonalds. I've went with some friends during the rush hours. We were lucky enough to get a table. We have made quite a big order. The food was ready very fast. The fries were crisp, hot and salty, exactly how you expect them to be. The food was fresh. Even if it was rush hour, the staff was friendly, the cleaning personal was taking care of the tables the moment they were empty, so the restaurant was clean.“
“I am actually thankful for the quick service and for the manager making sure to have me come back to get the latte I ordered replaced! I was impressed that my food was hot and that they cared enough to ask me to come back, since I received the wrong drink! Thank You 😊
Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options on the menu for someone that is used to ordering this way can make tons of choices that are made without meat products!
Dietary restrictions: McDonald's is not the place to go if you have tons of dietary restrictions! However, you can always ask for sugar-free syrup or splenda or any other sugar-free items to eat! If someone's watching their calories there are always ways to add more or less of a condiment to make it healthier! Therefore, McDonald's does cater to many different dietary restrictions!
Parking: I've never had a problem finding parking here!
Kid-friendliness: I would say this McDonald's is safe and kid friendly! During the afternoon would probably be the best time or on a weekend to have a children's party!
Wheelchair accessibility: I did notice that this McDonald's is wheelchair accessible and the bathrooms are as well“
“Everything's fine ... Except for the sauce. Y'all never give me the number of sauces I ordered, and the app does make you pay for them. Now you may be thinking, "now this guy doesn't need all those sauces, it's not a big deal" but let me ask you this, what if I have a little sauce addiction and I'm too ashamed to ask for all that sauce in person so I go in the app and I order my little sauces and then they don't come :(
I'm not hurting anybody am I? And who are you to deny me my sauces? Just some food for thought. Otherwise stellar service ✨“
“We were traveling from Michigan, and it was surprising to find a fast food place with parking in the busy city of Chicago. The food was hot and fresh, far better than our local McD's. The downside was that the restaurant was very cold, so we chose to sit in our car. Normally, I wouldn't rate a fast food place, as they are generally pretty similar. But I wanted to give a thumbs up where it was deserved.“
“This McDonald's, located on Cicero near the Chicago Midway Airport. Always above and beyond on cleanliness, speed of service and food flavor and texture. This location should be used as a benchmark, for superior service for other McDonald's locations.“
“12/3/2024
Listen. It’s a nice clean place with good potential. There’s just one factors that make it ehhh
1. The people who eat here. Almost every time I come here there are teenagers who can’t even clean up after themselves. They always trash the place. :/
But don’t get me wrong the employees are super kind. The manager has lots of energy and is very jolly. The employees are also kind about cleaning.
Anyways I would definitely come here again.
(P.S the Krispy Kreme donuts are a bit stale)
Parking: Parking lot outside.
Kid-friendliness: The happy meals are fire 🔥“
“Very good, mcdonalds. Their burgers are gourmet, I had a wagyu A5 big mac and a mcchicken from a freshly butchered virgin chicken and of course their Foie gras straight from Provance, France ?? is to die for. Their molecular kitchen chef is a culinary genius, they have a perfect happy meal with special white seasoning that's super ? ? ?
They have a racing track outside in the parking lot every other night, and especially on weekends they organize fundraising races. I love it.“
“Yes, a very good restaurant, one of the McDonald's chains. Personally, the Hispanic commissions, there are many Hispanic people, they are very friendly, so I gave it a rating of three out of three to four stars, very clean, by the way ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ✨✨✨😁😁😁“
“Food was hot, order correct and service fast! I just don't like this location because it's connected to a gas station and people are always outside hustling and begging! It's also hard to get out due to heavy traffic on Laramie & North Avenue ? ?“
“This is the most hidden McDonald's I have ever been to in the United States. It took me a long time to find it and so that it doesn't happen to you, I am attaching an image of the building that you must enter through a revolving door, go up an escalator and there it is.“
“I recently used my MCD app to order my food. I tried using my pts, but do to security/connection issues I lost my pts & never got the free item . I tried to reach out to MCd customer service to get my pts back, but unfortunately my pts. were never returned. I wasn't even offered any reimbursement for my inconvenience.“
“When we walked in, the customers were lively and excited for the delicious, classic meal coming out. The staff smiled and welcomed us in.
We quickly and easily ordered through the stations and received our meals quickly. Food was warm and yummy. Best McDonald’s in the country.“
“I didn't dine in, but Mz. Terri was the most pleasant person I've ever encounter at a fast food drive thru. She needs to train other employees at many other McDonald's restaurants. She made my day. Very friendly and very professional. Food was nice and hot too. ❤️“
“Lovely place to eat out with the family and has really great food. One thing I love is how it still has a spot where you can get your own fountain drinks which I love and the service is decent I usually order from the tablets out there. The atmosphere is good as well not that hard to find seating and has enough seats.“
“Amazing experience at this McDonald’s! The bathroom was very clean 🚻✨, which really stood out. The customer service was awesome—friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish 🙌😊. You can tell the staff truly cares about providing great full service. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏🍟💛“
“Lourdes Freeman, is she missing? I haven’t been able to get ahold of her in days. Talked to her Monday but haven’t heard from her since. Usually hear back from her within hours or a day tops. She works at this location, does anyone have any information about her?“
“This place has to be run by the rugrats. Omg y’all I’ve never had to wait 30 minutes for a 10 piece chicken nugget. It’s actually so wild, like what are yall even doing back there. The food is beyond cold by the time you get it. 😔 Omg and another time we had to wait over 10 minutes for fries. A medium fry. Literally what is going on back there???“
“Alright so I went there for my usual 5$ mc chicken meal with a shamrock mcflurry but they forgot to make it untill I asked but there was a extra mc chicken in the bag but the fries were kinda soggy but the nuggs were decent but the people in there are alright but overall not bad“
“This is a nice McDonalds. It is quick, easy food, and the workers here are among the nicest that I've encountered in fast food. The drive-thru is never too crowded even though it is located on busy Foster Ave. My family and I stop here for breakfast each time we are in Chicago for the day.
Parking: There is a free but small parking lot.
Kid-friendliness: I think this is a good place to stop as a family with kids for a quick meal either on the go or to sit down.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility and seating available.“
“For a McDonald’s it’s awesome. What’s really cool is that they haven’t jacked the prices up sky high at this location. You can still get a 2 cheeseburger meal for under $7 here which is unheard of anywhere else in this city (or really anywhere nowadays). I really appreciate that the franchise owner isn’t screwing everyone with pricing. Food always comes out hot and fresh, fries have never been soggy. Staff clearly take pride in their work here and I really respect that.
I live in Lakeview but when I want some McDonald’s, I hop on the brown line and ride it 30 minutes to get out here just to support this specific franchise. They seem to want to provide a good experience rather than just extract as much money from me as they possibly can like every other McDonald’s I’ve been to in the past few years.
Dining room is clean, bathrooms are clean. There are definitely some homeless people that hang around, but they’re very polite and keep to themselves. I respect that the staff treats them like people and seems to let them hang out in the lobby with a soda for a bit (provided they don’t cause a disturbance) rather than degrading them and treating them like pests. Love, compassion, and grace are powerful tools.“
“I came here this morning, which I never do even though I'm always by it, and service was impeccable. Luis, the manager I'm assuming, was very friendly, very hospitable, and very efficient. The food was fresh and was served to me quickly. The coffee was great not too strong or too hot. Very rarely do I have good experiences with McDonald's but this time definitely set the bar for my future visits. The restaurant itself was very clean including the bathroom. I will definitely be going back if Luis is working.“
“Excellent spot I highly recommend, my card was bugging out and wouldn’t let me pay but the manager was nice enough to put it on the house, not just that but he was also helping out the staff and working alongside them the atmosphere here is great and I’ll definitely be going again!“
“It’s a beautiful scenery with an amazing staff team that doesn’t disappoint the customer! They work quickly and with the utmost perfection. The only flaw is the place isn’t always properly sanitized. Other than the little moments of unsanitary places, it’s an amazing restaurant nonetheless!“
“Tiffany is THEE BEST manager to ever do it! I truly appreciate her professionalism and thoughtfulness. It’s always a pleasure seeing Tiffany when I come to this location. Honestly, I’m vegan! I ONLY come here for fries and Tiffany! She’s a huge asset to this business. Keep up the great work! ?“
“I ordered thru the kiosk and ate inside with my hubby. Not even 5 minutes, the food was brought out, nice and hot. The place was clean, the woman was very nice, and it was pleasant. I can see how many people might think the bathrooms are not kept up but so many people who do not buy food there, go and use the bathroom and stay for long periods of time then leave their mess behind. The workers are great and well I will keep coming back, esp before or after my Dr appointments. Thank you McDonald's!!!“
“Service was exceptional. In a world with fast-food chains just trying to get you out the door, this particular McDonald’s was out of this world. I am particularly glad that the staff was so helpful with my order as well as swift and responsive to my needs. I am blessed to have come across such a great restaurant and look forward to my next visit. On my way to Indiana. It was perfectly situated right on the border. I felt the pleasures of both states in my midst“
“Placed order with lady by the name of Maribel at the Drive-through window very pleasant and professional. If I had a choice she definitely worthy of being a manager people skills through the roof kudos for your morning jump start attitude with my online app order.“
“I went to the drive-thru but when I was getting ready to get my order another car came the kid that was working makes me want to come back because I could see that he was handling everything on his own without really any help and he was just very professional calm and everything just went smoothly because of the work ethic I could see in this kid and the way he handled everything and the way he handled everything in my eyes makes him an employee that you would want for your business because that kid right there is going to make me go to that McDonald's instead of the one on Howard Street because of having an employee like that definitely definitely that is where I'm going to go when I come out here 6 days a week hopefully the good impression that was made will continue“
“Hadn’t had McDonald’s in, let’s say, half a year. Wow what a warm welcome back. I got a Big Mac, a McDouble, fries and a frozen Hawaiian Punch. God it was so good. I rarely leave a review anywhere. It’s 10:30 PM and i went to Donnie’s cuz my day was packed and I hadn’t eaten since noon. Im sitting in my car to write this because of the gratitude I feel. The Don has not lost its fastball. Oh, I forgot how cheap it was. The Big Mac was $2 cuz of a deal and then I started picking stuff out and by chance the other stuff got combo’d together to get another deal. Under $8 in total for my unreal meal. That’s 2012 type of price. C’mawn“
“This review is for the employee there name Madison, I’ve been going to this establishment since I was younger and not once had I asked an employee for their name. But I had to this time and made sure I gave a review. Madison is veryyy polite and her Customer Service was great. Good job young lady.“
“Popped into McDonalds yesterday for a quick bite before a meeting. As always, I was helped by their fast service - in a matter of minutes I was already holding my favorite Big Mac and fries.
The staff is always polite and ready to help even if they don't know the language.
It was a great way to have a quick and tasty snack.
The restaurant was clean and tidy.
The staff was friendly and willing to help.
Overall, I recommend McDonald's to anyone looking for a quick, tasty and affordable snack.
Of course, like any restaurant, McDonald's has its flaws

“I previously left a negative review because consistently the chicken products tasted bitter and faintly burned like they've been left out for too long or the fry oil went bad.
In the recent two visits I went they no longer have this issue. If anyone actually took action to fix this I really appreciate it. But maybe I just got lucky or something this time“
“I want to give a big shoutout to Oscar and the staff at this McDonald’s! Every morning when I come in for coffee (and sometimes breakfast), Oscar greets me with a warm “hi” and sets such a positive tone for my day. His energy, kindness, and genuine care for his job really stand out.
I’ll be honest—I never really enjoyed coming to McDonald’s for the food before, but now I actually look forward to it because of the amazing service from him and the rest of the team. The staff here are always patient, friendly, and make me feel welcomed. Oscar and his coworkers truly make this location special!.“
“Josh at this location was amazing. He was very accommodating, helpful, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. His professionalism and positive attitude really stood out, This is the kind of service that keeps customers coming back!“
“Literally the absolute best McDonald’s of all McDonald’s. The chicken sandwich is the absolute best, it is possibly better than the chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches depending on how you view the McDonald’s and the chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches. The menu is so awesome and the service time is the absolute best.“
“McDonald’s is an amazing family restaurant. I support my local McDonald’s restaurant through everything. The Wilson Ave McDonald’s is filled to the brim with charm and character. Stop in and you might meet your new best friend or even a new lover. They are the beating heart of our community. Without McDonald’s, I don’t know what we’d have left“
“This is the better McDonalds near me, not close, but close enough to drive to when I don't want to have to guess how my food will turn out. The drinks could be sweeter with less carbonation, however sometimes I just don't have a drink because they don't taste like they used to.“
“I love this spot, it's always so interesting. Sometimes you get funny drunks that sing and twerk because it's their birthday, other times you get screaming people that argue about... who knows what. But I think the best part is the guy who comes with his headphones and jams out in the lot with a couple of cold ones. Worst part is that one guy who nods his head for no reason. Nonetheless, I've never had an issue with the food!“
“It's what you expect frim mcdonald's. Nothing more, nothing less. I ordered my usual, cheese burger with extra pickle. One sandwich had a boat load of pickles while the other had only 3. I think they were messing with me. Anyway it was fresh af and I slammed.
Still the same as of may 18th“
“Worse service ever!
They’d make me wait before I place my orden and when I placed my order I’d have to repeat my order more than once, then they’d just make me pull up to the first window, thank God they have my order right, but when I’d get to the second window, they’d want me to pull out and wait for my order and I’d refuse to do it, so when the girl commented this to the manager they’d start to laugh of loud than I’d can hear then even with the closing window and they’d forget to pack butter for my pancakes, what an unprofessional attitude 😡“
“McDonald’s is one of the most recognizable fast-food chains in the world, and after visiting many different locations over the years, it’s clear why it has remained so dominant in the industry. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick breakfast before school or grabbing late-night fries with friends, McDonald’s consistently delivers a reliable, convenient, and familiar experience.
First, the menu variety is one of its biggest strengths. From classic burgers like the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder to Chicken McNuggets, Filet-O-Fish, and seasonal specialty items, there’s something for almost everyone. The breakfast menu is especially popular — Egg McMuffins, hotcakes, sausage biscuits, and hash browns are staples that have built a loyal following. McDonald’s has also adapted over time by adding salads (in some locations), wraps, smoothies, McCafé coffee drinks, and even limited-time international items. This ability to evolve while keeping its core menu intact shows strong brand awareness.
The food itself is exactly what you expect — consistent. A Big Mac tastes like a Big Mac no matter which state you’re in. The fries remain one of the most iconic fast-food items ever created: thin, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly salted when fresh. While McDonald’s isn’t aiming to compete with gourmet burger restaurants, it excels at delivering quick, satisfying comfort food at an affordable price.
Service is typically fast and efficient, especially with the widespread use of drive-thru lanes, mobile ordering through the app, and self-service kiosks inside many stores. The McDonald’s app also adds value with frequent deals, rewards points, and limited-time promotions. In busy locations, especially during lunch or dinner rush, there can be minor delays, but the system is generally streamlined and well organized.
Cleanliness and atmosphere can vary by location, but many recently renovated restaurants feel modern and open, with digital menu boards and brighter interiors. Seating is usually comfortable enough for short visits, and the environment is casual and family-friendly. PlayPlaces, though less common now, still make certain locations appealing for families with young children.
In terms of price, McDonald’s remains one of the more affordable fast-food options, especially when using the app deals or value menu. Inflation has increased prices somewhat, but compared to many competitors, it still offers solid value for portion size and convenience.
Of course, it’s not perfect. The food is not particularly healthy, and nutritional concerns are often raised about fast food in general. Some locations can feel crowded or understaffed during peak hours. Additionally, quality control can vary slightly depending on management and staff training.
Overall, McDonald’s succeeds because it understands exactly what it is: a fast, affordable, consistent option for people on the go. It doesn’t try to be upscale or overly trendy — it focuses on speed, familiarity, and accessibility. Whether you’re craving fries, a burger, or just a quick coffee, McDonald’s remains a dependable choice in the fast-food world.“
