McDonald's in Nepean

“We had an excellent experience. Today was my daughter's birthday, and we celebrated at the McDonald's on Robertson. The manager Gurneet and the employee Himanshu were very attentive. They played the "Happy Birthday" song and stored the cake in the fridge. The experience exceeded all our expectations. Thank you very much for everything.“

“We decided to stop in to McDonald's on Merivale Road @ Meadowlands Drive today for lunch. Our cashier today was Saba. She was fantastic and served us well. Saba had also recomended that we try the Grilled chicken wrap. Excellent choice; my mother enjoyed the chicken wrap. The food service was good. The food was hot and the atmosphere was very calming. We also purchased 2 happy meals in order to receive 2 story books. Very nice! We are definitely returning to this McDonald's restaurant.“

“Theyre much more consistent with their food than other locations. Good quality, follows instructions perfectly, and on the off time somethings wrong theyve always remade it for me super politely. The staff are friendly and always put a smile on my face. Best Mcdonalds in Ottawa hands down.“

“You know when 1 person can change your experience at an establishment. I come in to get some poutines quick and easy. I was sad to hear to add bacon was no longer an option. The gentleman, on the other side, taking the order not only prompt and courtesy, let me know a trick he does to make up for the fact. Its not for everyone, but if you get a burger patty on the side and crumble it on, with a little zing from the sweet and sour sauce. Wow, so good, my wife and I loved it! To Santiago, my friend, keep up the great work and service! And to the team who made the food. Great work 👏🏽“

“Been here a few times in two days and each time the people were pleasant and the washroom clean. The layout for seating is cut up a bit allowing for different styles of tables and small seating areas with plexiglass used as dividers. You'll still get to view the whole area yet have these separate seating areas.“

“This particular McDonald’s—tucked neatly inside the Barrhaven Walmart—is the perfect blend of fast food familiarity and everyday convenience. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite after grocery shopping or just looking for a no-fuss meal in the neighborhood, this location has got you covered.

Let’s start with location and convenience. Situated right inside Walmart, it’s hard to beat for accessibility. You don’t need to make an extra stop—you can finish your shopping, grab your Happy Meal or coffee, and be out the door. For busy parents, this is a huge win. And yes, there’s ample parking, like all Walmart lots, so you never have to worry about circling for a spot during peak hours.

As for service, I’ve found the staff at this location to be surprisingly courteous and efficient, even during high-traffic periods. The front counter is usually staffed by team members who are friendly, quick with orders, and not stingy with the ketchup packets (a small win, but an important one). They keep things moving even when the line gets long—whether it's breakfast hour rush or after-school teen hangouts.

The food quality? It's McDonald’s—so you know what you’re getting, and that’s honestly a good thing. The fries are fresh, the burgers are hot, and the McCafé beverages always hit the spot. I’ve never had issues with wrong orders or undercooked food here, which I can’t say for every McDonald’s I’ve visited. Their coffee is strong, their breakfast wraps are always warm, and you can expect consistency, which is something to appreciate in the world of fast food.

The seating area is modest, but relatively clean. It’s shared with the Walmart crowd, so you won’t get a quiet café vibe here, but you will get a place to rest your feet and enjoy your meal. They do a good job of keeping the area tidy despite the steady stream of traffic.

Another plus: it’s kid-friendly, and you’ll often see families with little ones enjoying a quick bite. With Happy Meals, toys, and smiles, McDonald’s continues to do what it does best—make kids happy and give parents a moment of peace.

A nice bonus at this location is that it’s open early and stays open late, syncing with Walmart’s extended hours. So whether it’s an early morning Egg McMuffin or a late-night McDouble craving, you’re covered. And because it's in Walmart, you can even multi-task—snack while you shop, or grab a drink before the rest of your errands.

Is it gourmet? Of course not. Is it satisfying, predictable, and perfectly placed for Barrhaven residents? Absolutely. It’s not just a McDonald’s—it’s part of the local rhythm, whether you’re on a grocery run, waiting for a pharmacy refill, or rewarding yourself with some fries after surviving Walmart on a Saturday.

In summary, the McDonald’s inside Walmart Barrhaven is dependable, clean, efficient, and perfectly located. It may not be the flashiest McDonald’s in town, but it punches above its weight in terms of speed, consistency, and friendly service. If you live in Barrhaven, chances are you’ve eaten here—and you probably will again. And honestly? That’s not a bad thing.

A solid 5-star experience for what it is: affordable comfort food served fast, friendly, and right where you need it.“
