Good morning. Are you using your mobile app today? Well, I'd absolutely love to, but it says you're closed. Oh, okay, what can I get you? Well, I'd like that $4 Sausage McMuffin meal. You want the sausage, egg and cheese? (Screen shows $7.49). Nope, just the sausage. It's four bucks in the app. (Screen shows $7.49, "sausage egg and cheese, no egg, no cheese"). Know what? Never mind.

Ordered late at the drive thru and didn't get our soda at checkout. We asked if we could order one again and pay and were told to get back in the line (that was 10 cars long). They made a mistake and were not quick to correct it.

Happy meal wasn't so happy... ice cold hard fries and idk how old is the nuggets and to top it all, as usual they'll give the<br>old HM toys different from your order... never again, they even pretend they don't see you. no one in line but me ... they just continue talking about other co workers life (you can hear them talking but it's like you don't exist... you have to tell them that you're standing in line for a reason 👎👎👎👎👎

Ordered from here last night… a McFlurry and nuggets. Felt like I was ripped off cause they only filled the McFlurry cup up halfway and nuggets were stale & gross…definitely tasted like they were double dipped. Majority of it went into the garbage. Thanks

This location always try’s to give old happy meal toys when new ones come out. I’ve had at least 4 occasions where the employees tried to pass off an old toy that I had to come back to switch out. Management Do better

They are very cheap with the French fries the large order is smaller than the medium they never fill them up . You have to ask for ketchup and napkins. Most of the time they give you the wrong order. Very unprofessional I don’t recommend this place. Last time I will go there

I ordered a Double Quarter pounder today and was starving all day. I was like bet I'll get some Micky D's because why not. After getting it, I head home getting ready to bust down on my meal. I get busy with the fries no problem. Then I took a bite into the burger and see one of the patties was straight RAW Yeah unacceptable

In the past few times I've been here, the wait times were always long. One time, there were around 10 cars scattered around the drive thru and it took 50 minutes to get my food. My most recent visit wasn't that bad, but it still seemed like an unusually long wait to speak into the speaker given the few cars in the drive thru (they also do get a lot of mobile orders). This McDonald's, compared to other locations, seems to have some chronic problem of being short staffed as it's been like this for a long while now and frankly, I never have to wait this long at other locations. Anyway, I got a McChicken amongst some fries and chicken nuggets and the prices here are out of control. $4 for a McChicken is insanity and it doesn't help that at this location, they wrap the sandwich on the opposite side of the wrapper. As soon as I started unwrapping my sandwich, pieces of lettuce immediately fell out which made me grateful that I was eating this on a table and not inside my car. 2 stars because the food still tastes like McDonalds.

Ordered 20 piece nuggets and was super crispy and hot. This has to be one of my better chicken nuggets I had, though they had a free fries friday and that was disappointing, i know it is free with purchase, but the fried were not hot and only half full, i know inflation, but seriously the medium fries seemed more like the happh meal fries size.

I will start by saying from personal experience that McDonald's is a very tough job - especially on a busy Saturday morning so I understand things won't be perfect, but orders shouldn't be gross. I could fry my own breaded chicken cutlets tonight with the amount of oil I've gotten out of these hashbrowns and I'm not even finished. First they were way overdone and I asked for new ones and I appreciate their doing so and being very nice and understanding, but really? Just take a minute more and after pulling the basket from the fryer let it sit and drain the oil. Soggy nasty mess. Now I have to degrease my counter.
