At 3 AM after my night shift, I visited McDonald's to order a junior chicken and medium fries. Given the late hour, I politely requested fresh food. As a former McDonald's employee of 7 years, I'm familiar with food preparation times and quality standards. While my order was ready in just2- 3 minutes, the fries appeared to have been reheated rather than freshly prepared because in no way you can get fresh fries and burger made and deliver to second window in that time frame. It was very poor quality of the fries and junior chicken especially when I had specifically requested fresh food.

3 words; Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. God awful service, disgusting food.. Brown lettuce, food was cold. Absolutely disgusting. Don't waste your time or your money. Avoid this location at all cost. This place isn't reviewed badly for no reason. By definition it's a dump.

Always had the best experience at this location. Recently did my toddler’s birthday party and everyone was great! Special thanks to Emily, Breece (not sure if I am saying it correctly)

I worked at McDonald’s for a few months, and it was one of the worst job experiences I’ve had. The overall environment was toxic, and the way employees were treated was unacceptable.
Inappropriate Treatment and Disrespect
Management consistently treated employees poorly, with little regard for respect or basic decency. Any issues we raised were not only ignored but often met with hostility. Constructive feedback was non-existent, and instead, we were subjected to criticism and blame for things beyond our control. This made the workplace feel hostile and unsafe, leaving us constantly stressed and anxious.
Lack of Support and Appreciation
There was zero recognition for hard work, no support from supervisors, and a complete disregard for employee well-being. We were expected to work through breaks, and shifts were often extended without notice or consideration for our personal time. The lack of appreciation was blatant, and it was clear that management saw us as easily replaceable.
Poor Training and Unrealistic Expectations
The training was rushed and inadequate, leaving us unprepared for the fast-paced environment. Despite this, we were expected to meet unrealistic expectations with no guidance or help. This resulted in a chaotic and stressful atmosphere where mistakes were common, but support was non-existent.
Deteriorating Employee Morale
The constant mistreatment and lack of support crushed employee morale. The turnover was extremely high because most people couldn’t stand the conditions, and it wasn’t uncommon to see new faces every week. McDonald’s seemed completely indifferent to the way they treated their employees, and it was clear that they prioritized profits over people.
Overall Assessment
If you value your mental health and self-respect, I would strongly advise against working at McDonald’s. The environment is toxic, and management’s approach is entirely inappropriate. There are far better workplaces that will actually respect and support you. Working at McDonald’s was a regrettable experience, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

We all know what to expect when we go to Mickey D’s. So I don’t want to review what we all already know. I more so want to make a suggestion. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT GIVE ME ICE CREAM AND THEN ASK ME TI PULL TO THE NEXT WINDOW! I do not mind going to the next window, but please give me all my products together. Passing me my pop, while not providing a straw is very counter productive. Watching ice cream melt while I wait for my food order makes me sigh.. sure, I can go home and throw it in my freezer, which is what I often do. I just don’t feel like I should have to. Just give me my frozen stuff with my hot food and the world instantly becomes a better place. lol

I had my son’s 6th birthday there tonight and it was amazing until the end! They did a great job with decorating, putting the food together and the two helpers did an amazing job on making sure if we needed anything we had it! The only part I was not happy about was I am in charge of kids while they are in my care and I cannot just let them walk out the door or have other kids come in when I need to count my own party.. right as the parents are all flooding in I had a McDonald’s rude employee come at me trying to force these other children in to play while I am over whelmed trying to make sure my kids are going to thjer parents.. I get kids can come in but if u book out a spot and pay good money I shouldn’t be rushed out or meant to feel my party doesn’t matter. Only thing I recommend is give 10 minutes extra for the party to leave before other kids to come in so we can have our other kids with their parents saftley. I also don’t appreciate the staff member being rude and saying “it’s not like they will eat ur cupcakes” bc that was not the issue my kids my party their safety is most important. So to that rude employee find a diff job if u don’t like the one ur at.

1 of 5 times you get something wrong with your order. Especially if you upsize your meals. Food is as you would expect and staff is always pleasant. The inside seems a bit tired and dirty. Worst part is the WEAK ass soda. Ran into Rockin Robin there… good times!

I ordered coffee, it was cold.
Parking: We visited on a busy summer weekday and guess this as the reason to find parking difficult.
