We stop here 7 days a week, on our way out to plumb the new Thompson airport. I can honestly say, out of the 50 McDonald’s I’ve visited in Bc, Alberta, sask, Manitoba, Ontario, and Scotia, this is the tightest run ship I’ve ever seen.
Last feb., i saw the manager out front in a blizzard shovelling the walkway himself. The next week, I needed to use the bathroom, and he graciously let me in, right after he had mopped….same guy!
It’s unreal to see the leader at any restaurant these days, getting down and dirty with the jobs that no one wants to do. I work in the trades, and this is a tactic I use to train apprentices for jobs I know no one wants to do….do it yourself.
I can’t express how much I respect the manager at this particular location, and I cant say I’ve ever received hotter, consistent food from any McDonald’s, over the course of a year of visiting one location.
If there is a consistency award company wide, this branch should receive it.
Every morning: Sausage and egger, two hashbrowns, extra large trip trip. You guys start my day on a good note, regardless of how it goes sideways after breakfast. Thank you.

McDonald’s in Thompson is exactly what you think it is — predictable, plain, and somehow still managing a 3.7‑star rating, which honestly feels like a stretch. The food hasn’t changed in decades: the same burgers, the same nuggets, the same fries — mass‑produced, over‑salted, and kept alive by nostalgia.
The biggest difference now? The price. These days, you’re paying $14 to $16 for any meal that isn’t a kid’s combo. Four years ago, that same meal was half the price. So yes, you’re now spending premium money for something that was assembled in under a minute, loaded with preservatives, and designed to slowly kill you one craving at a time.
Flavor? It’s all sauce and salt. The “meat” tastes the same in every province — probably because it’s the same everywhere. The buns could sit on a counter for a month and still look camera‑ready. The fries are addictive because they’ve been engineered to be, not because they’re actually good.
Still, we all fall for it. Years of commercials trained us to think McDonald’s is comfort food — the golden arches burned into our collective brain since childhood. Sometimes you just want the fries, the Big Mac, or the coffee. And to be fair, the coffee’s probably the best part — hot, quick, and far better than what Tim Hortons has turned into.
So yeah, McDonald’s in Thompson does what it’s supposed to. It’s consistent, convenient, and overpriced. You go there because it’s easy, not because it’s good. Realistically, 2.5 to 3 stars is fair. Anything higher is just denial — or someone reviewing with their nostalgia goggles on.

I bought coffee for an Indian at McDonald's, apparently the person is in a difficult financial situation, the owner asked me to. When I ordered and tried to hand it over, the McDonald's employee started to kick her out, although in my opinion, after the person bought coffee at McDonald's, she has the same right as all other customers. Even after I handed her the coffee, the employee did not invite her back to the establishment. It seems that the First Nation in Canada is like a guest on their own land.

I went to drive thru and ordered stuff they misheard me and forgot some stuff but it was fine until I opened the bag, I ordered a mcchicken the whole thing looked like it was never assembled and also the nugget box was poorly closed, terrible service imo

Breakfast sandwich was slapped together with half the cheese off and not melted. Wanted to charge for a pack of mayonnaise. Server was rude. Won’t be back.

I recently visited the McDonald’s in Thompson, Manitoba, and it was one of the worst fast food experiences I’ve ever had. The female manager during the day is unprofessional, argumentative, and rude. The issue began when I asked for McChicken sauce and was told it would cost $0.70. I was ready to pay but decided to clarify why this location charges for it when others, like many in Winnipeg, do not. Her response? “It’s McDonald’s policy.” When I pressed further, pointing out that some locations in Winnipeg don’t follow this so-called policy, she became defensive and dismissive.
I decided to skip the sauce and requested ketchup instead. That’s when things got even more ridiculous. She handed me about 20 ketchup packets when I only needed a few. When I politely pointed out how excessive this was and suggested returning them in exchange for the sauce, she became visibly annoyed, snapped that she “didn’t have time for this,” and angrily tossed the sauce onto the counter. Completely unacceptable behavior for something that could’ve been resolved calmly.
The restaurant itself is just as bad. The atmosphere is bleak and unwelcoming, with sticky tables, dirty floors, and poorly maintained bathrooms. It’s clear there’s no priority given to cleanliness or customer experience.
The drive-thru isn’t much better. The staff doesn’t struggle with communication—they just don’t speak English well, which makes placing an order far more frustrating than it needs to be. And even if you manage to get your order correct, it’s likely cold or missing items by the time you get it.
This McDonald’s desperately needs a management overhaul, better staff training, and a serious effort to improve customer service and cleanliness. Until then, I’d recommend taking your business elsewhere.
