McDonald's in Greendale

“It's not too often that I throw down a 5 star review for a restaurant, let alone a Mickey D's but I stopped there today and was floored by how perfect my meal was. Order was placed ahead of time using the app. I pulled up, gave them my code, pulled around to side, was promptly greeted, had my order confirmed then pulled up to next window where I was again greeted, to my surprise, by a sweet lady that looked she was someone's grandmother. Go granny! Show those young pups how to do it. My order was handed over promptly and everything was as good, if not better, than in all the hundreds (sigh, thousands) of times over the decades I have eaten McDonald's before. The Coke, which usually is always pretty good at any McD's was perfectly filled to the top and tasted fresh and cold. The fries had just the right amount of salt that made me want to lick my fingers and they had just the right amount of golden brown crisp to them. All too often of late I've had fries that seemed as if they got pulled from the deep fryer about a minute too soon. Not these, perfection. The McNuggets were likewise still warm and crispy, not like the cold lumps of chewy mess I have encountered before. But the best part was the double cheeseburger. The cheese was literally coming out from the sides because the patties were so hot. The cheese was gooey and the entire patty surface was covered. I savored every bite - astonished that the mouthful of yumminess came from a McD's drive thru burger. Everything at this location was on point. The service, the amount of time I had to wait and the food. All was, honestly, the best I've ever had at a McDonald's. I don't know if this was some once in a lifetime miracle or what was going on in the kitchen, but they were seriously knocking this out of the ballpark in stellar fashion today around 11:30am. It was so good that I'm almost worried that if I go back the food won't be quite as good! I was wondering if maybe the folks in kitchen might also have been a bit older like the nice lady at the window and just took that much more pride in their job. I don't know what it was but I HOPE it continues! Kudos McDonald's! You guys blew me away today during what I thought was just going to be a routine quick stop to grab a bite while running errands. Oh, and the free French fries by using the App was a nice bonus too! 5 stars all around!“

“It's okay. This particular McDonald's is out of things often. That's probably a good sign though. Never had any major issues with the order and all staff are friendly. My biggest issue is they don't have promotional things because they are already out or they have no idea what promotion they have. I asked for the cup sleeve weekly and nobody knew what I was talking about until they were sold out. Not sure how that even happens.“
