No Joke, drive-thru ordered (2) double cheese burgers, no pickles (2) mcchichens. then asked for some Ranch once i had my food, Guy tells me I can only get Ranch if I buy the mcnuggets or selects. Or I could park my car go in and get it from the pump? Well me knowing all about McDonald's atleast more than this manager, They never stock Ranch in a pump (probably would go bad or something idk) So I go in -- Not Ranch pump -- me: Wheres the Ranch guy? mcmanager: Oh its there... me: Um no it's not I'm not blind. mcmanager: Okay you can pay me $1.2.. me: (cutting him off) I not paying a damn thing! your just suppose to give that out real employee: Oh sir here have some Ranch. me: THANK YOU! right when im leaving I her the manager tell the employee next time you say $1 I pull back and remind the employee he did the right thing and not to listen to his 'boss' Adding this to my boycott list, unless I need a mcflurry lol

If you love the Three Stooges come see the 11pm staff. The only thing missing is Moe which is sad since someone should be in charge.

Falls Church, VA

Lunch today was a quickie - Since I had essentially missed breakfast - I knew if I did not not get something to eat before I went over to look at Bars - that I would not be able to concentrate and might hurry my decision or make poor choices. So I hit the Drive-Thru. In hindsight, I probably should have parked and gone inside. The line of cars waiting in the Drive-Thru was very long. One particular order - two cars ahead of me must have sat at the window for 5 minutes before they handed them their food. I went for the #10 - the Filet O' Fish meal with a Minute Maid Lemonade. I note this McDonald's has a 24 hour Drive-Thru. I wolfed that sucker down in no time!

Just had breakfast here right after a routine Home Depot trip... pleasantly surprised! Okay, most fastfood places serve the same food anywhere you go (be it DC or Atlanta or LA--a Big Mac is a Big Mac). This place however had ambiance! They re-furbished one side of the in-door restaurant to look more like a 'cafe', complete with leather couches and cozy booths. They also had bar-like tables and chairs in the middle of the room. Also noted a nice, well-maintained outdoor seating (crappy view of the car wash though... other than that, pretty clean). Only thing missing is a fireplace!! So... the next time you to wolf down a McGriddle, have it in a lounge-like atmosphere! (Are they all headed to this type of concept? I wonder...)

Any hope I have of experiencing childhood nostalgia at McDonald's is now completely gone thanks to the evil that are Apple Dippers. I had a coupon for a free Happy Meal, and was super excited to get my four piece Chicken McNugget meal. The coupon for the free Happy Meal advertised that all Happy Meals now come with Apple Dippers and French Fries. Fair enough, until I opened my Happy Meal bag, and discovered a sample size of fries that was smaller than the palm of my hand. What? Did McDonald's really just reduce the size of the Kids Meals fries by half? I feel sorry for all the kids these days. Here is a news flash McDonald's: If you are so concerned about children's health, you should offer grilled options like your friend Chick-Fil-A. If you are going to offer fried potatoes, I want my SMALL serving of fries, not a MINI serving. Thanks. Now I have something new to add to the "When I was your age" list that I can share with all little kidders I encounter. When I was your age, McDonald's gave me more than 5 fries.

I feel weird reviewing a McDonalds, but hey, it is what it is-- this is the fastest McDonalds I've ever been to. They had their drive through staff outside to make it move faster; the cashier held a wad of cash and the food hander-offer person had a container of condiments in her arm. I'm not sure if I happened to be there during a speed contest, but it was amazing and my order was right. I had never seen anything like it but it worked and I don't think I even stopped my car while I was there. Like other Yelpers before me, I feel silly for reviewing a McDonald's, but this one has to have the most efficient drive-thru of any I've been to (and, seeing as I have three kids, I have been to countless McDonald's -- drive-thru dining is how we roll). Just today, I didn't even come to a complete stop in the drive-thru line. One guy took my order while walking alongside my car discouraging me from stopping, then another guy ran my credit card to the next window, and finally a lady is waving me past the pick-up window with my food in the bag. Didn't even stop. AND they have never screwed up my order. Perfect!

You bet your tush I'm reviewing a McD's! Laugh it up, I'd give myself a "funny" for this one if I could. Which fast food chain has the best fries? Uh...McD's (hm...excluding Arby's curly fries, those are fun and yum.) Which fast food chain has better frozen sweet treats? McD's (yeah, put that Frosty down and grab a McFlurry!) What is more classic than a happy meal from McD's? Nothing. Of all the kids meals I've had in my adult life, none make my heart smile like a kid's meal from McDonalds. So it was a long day, I needed a burger. Specifically, a McDonald's burger. I got my one patty burger...and split a McRib...and fries...and their limited time only, Pumpkin Pie. Once I bit into my burger and felt the stress exit my body, and the fat come in. Long day, over. As for the McRib I was told I must try, I've come to the conclusion that I think I could live without. Too many onions, too little sauce. It was just weird. The pumpkin pie I bought on impulse? I could also live without. It tasted like canned pumpkin shoved into their pie crust. Of course you can get much better burgers, fries, pie, etc. elsewhere but, when it comes to fast food, you know every now and again you just can't resist getting some delicious crap from here.

So running away from the Elm Street McDonald's from up the street, I come here for breakfast. It's raining pretty hard from Hanna, I decide that I need some breakfast. Love breakfast. I have never tried the Southern Style Chicken Biscuit. So I order one with 2 hash browns and an iced tea. This location as a drive-thru. Hurray! But I walk in instead cause the line of cars was absurd. The place seems clean and has TVs. Everything seemed organized. I ordered and my food was hot and fresh. Right out of the fryer. Mmmmm...fried food! It's still pouring. I am getting out of my car at home with my bag'o food and it gets wet. What happens? The FEAST.....is ruined. The paper bag gets wet, it disintergrates and my precious food is on the wet parking lot. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" and start cursing. Good thing I have some plastic shopping bags in the car. I scoop up my wet food, warm to cold now and run inside. Wet, hungry, and grumpy, I open up the wrapper of the chicken biscuit. Damn it's greasy, and so are the hash browns. But can't have it any other way. I take a bit and start choking cause the biscuit was dry. WATER!!!!!! But oh man was the southern style chicken good. Nice flavor and juicy. The hash browns were good too. It was a good experience but does not justify an amazing experience. I was still bitter and salty that my bag melted away in the rain and my food fell onto the wet ground. :( Maybe a suggestion with plastic bags like what Taco Bell uses when it rains so people's feast of fast food won't be ruined when it rains like mine was today....

McLean, VA

Despite not having a happy meal, I don't think that I could have been more pleased with my walk down memory lane with my cheeseburger. Beef patty with cheese, pickles, ketchup, and onions! It's not that great, and yet it is.....so hard to describe that nostalgic feeling. Also I had the MCRIB last night !!!! I haven't had one of these since they first came out with the Flintstones movie in the 90's. I rather enjoyed it, but perhaps it was the particular store, but there was too much onion in my sandwich and too little sauce. Aside from that, I shall be having another McRib before they retire them for another decade or whatever. Hurry up and get your McRib, they're only in stores this year for 6 weeks. This used to be a good McDonalds. I know that because of how busy they are, they don't have time to smile. But the sheer rudeness and lack of communication was ridiculous. Maybe if the food was top notch (by McDonald's standards, at least), but it was luke warm with not at all crisp fries or nuggets. It's a shame about the single arched closing...

As McDonald's go, you know what you're getting. Great hangover food. The place is not dirty as I read in another review (wanna 'feel' dirty?, stop into 5 guys when you're not drunk).

Hoboken, NJ

Its McDonald's so you should know what to expect food wise...high quality dog food cooked to order. What you get at this particular location that you might not get everywhere else (although there's plenty of locations where you will) is the bonus of a likely assault with your meal. One of my friends got jumped by Teak bouncers here because he happened to be sitting next to someone they thought disrespected them. I always see cops in there and I feel like I read about some kind of crime happening on a weekly basis. I just realized, why I am writing a review for a McDonalds? Who thinks, I'm in the mood for a Big Mac, wait let me see what the reviews say first. Oh well, nothing better to do at work right now anyway.

OK late night what are the choices.... Cluck u ...ultimately Mamouns would be the best choice ever so often you END up here maybe because you left the city at 3am, you where thinking to get something to eat?. What if I miss the PATH.? all is lost 30 min wait. every Hobokenite knows.and what happens when you get there there isn't a dollar menu. They cover it with Cardboard from the Big Mac boxes! Pics added I dint want the soda, I dint want the Meal want I want a MC double. i think maybe they do it because when were drunk we think its White Castle. and ask for 10 of them at a time. Gets 2 star only because it has Faithful WIFI and 24 hrs. great for my ipod when my phone battery dies using Gvoice. Death to you Android Battery life..(yeah yea I shut all the apps and crap Battery still DEAD)

McDonalds in Boken is sort of a last resort establishment; I would only venture in here in the wee hours of the morning but now I can choose 7-11 instead. McDonals purposely does not offer the dollar menu late at nght and a lot of the homeless end up stayed there through the night. Great for them, but not what I'm looking for. Additionally the cashiers frequently end up being unable to count change. During the day, typical McDonalds. You're not missing much. There is one thing wrong with this place. No shamrock shakes during St. Patricks Day. That is all.

The freaks sure do come out at night! As Busta would say, I respect my conglomerate, but this particular location attracts an unnerving amount of crazies once the sun goes down. Came here with my boyfriend and our friend for quick food before we went out for the night around 9:30PM. There wasn't much happening or so we thought, until my friend got Hi-C Orange all down her back. Turns out the couple behind us was having a lover's quarrel and resorted to the old middle-school habit of a FOOOOOOD FIIIIGHHHTTTT !!! Half eaten chicken nuggets and McDoubles strewn about, but don't worry, the homeless guy lurking in the corner crept out to pick on their leftovers once they got kicked out... On the several other occasions I've gone here, it's usually just packed with the 20-30 Y.Os who you avoided at the bar earlier in the night but they happen to still "be in the neighborhood." Your best bet is to take your food and run. The food is your typical McD's fare, but it's kinda lame they eliminate like half the menu (most notably the dollar menu) at night- I guess it's because everyone who pops in is to wasted too care!

Chino, CA

Will never return. Didn't think it was possible to mess up oatmeal but they did Came here the other night with a friend to check out the new McDonald's. A Zombie like employee standing by the cash register did not bother to greet or acknowledge us. Finally went up to him and ordered 2 chocolate sundaes. Without saying a word, he took my money and then went back to just staring out into space. After about 5 minutes I guess he realized the sundaes weren't going to materialize from thin air so he made them and then set them on the front counter. Didn't even bother to tell us they were ready. Good thing I was watching. While all this was going on, the Assistant Manager on duty was so worried about packing her bag full of food to take home (guess it was the end of her shift) and totally ignored what was going on around her. Horrible service and we won't be going back. If the owner is reading this, you need to spend some time in your restaurant and protect your investment. I know this is Mcdonald's but you won't last long with this type of service.

Holland, MI

I only recall 2 instances in which I was at this McDonalds. 1. I was drunk 3 years ago and starving and ordered 2 hamburgers. When I realized I forgot to order fries, I decided to walk up to the cashier and say, "Excuse me, I forgot to order fries, can you do me a favor and give me some fries?". She stared at me for a second, turned away for 2 seconds, grabbed a brown bag, and dumped a pile of fries in the bag and handed it to me with a smile, for free! 2. Last week, I was starving and I planned on going to BK next door, but it was closed because it was Thanksgiving. Screw you BK! This McDonalds is clutch, but outside of the subpar food...I'll still give it 3 stars.

Federal Way, WA

My toddler took me on a tour of bathrooms on our Thanksgiving jaunt to grandmas house. This one was the pits. Really nasty. I had to hold him up over the toilet so he didn't touch it. The place is kind of sketchy in general, but at least it was open on Thanksgiving for a few hours. Food was regular Mc D's fare. One nice thing is if you drive out the back of the parking lot and turn the wrong way, there's a carpool onramp about 1 block away and you're right back on the road!

Garden Grove, CA

I got hungry after doing some Thanksgiving shopping so I stopped by Mcdonald's because it's quick, good, and cheap. After I paid, got my food, and a tray of three drinks (it was for my friends). The drinks were over filled and it was dripping and I couldn't just drive off because I had to handle the situation before it got all over my car. So after I got the drinks I was thinking hm what to do and the drive thru lady told me to hurry up because there were people waiting. Did you know what I did? I looked at my rear mirror and did you know what I saw? NOTHING! That's right. NOTHING! NO ONE! ZIP! Was it because I asked for ketchup? Did I order too many drinks? Did she not like my pretty face? DAMN! And it was the way she said it too. So rude. But I do like the food. And it's quick. But some workers there aren't too friendly. I had someone ask for my food back because they didn't have change for a $50, someone gave me attitude when I asked for ketchup, this was the second time I was told to hurry up in the drive thru, and here is the best one...someone tried to charge me for ketchup...yup. Jaws drop? YUP!

Kahului, HI

11/24/2011-Went to McDonald's since many restaurants were closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. These guys were open 'til 7pm that evening. Ordered a Big Mac and fries at the Drive-Thru. Made the mistake of ordering the large size. The fries were HUGE. Also, they didn't give us any ketchup for our fries. Was bummed about that. Overall, a typical McD's.

Carlisle, PA

Decent place. I just stopped in for a quick bite. The order taker (appeared to be a manager) didn't seem thrilled when he took my order but at least he thanked me and wished me a Happy Thanksgiving. I just had a cheeseburger, fries and bottle of water. The food is what you would expect from a McDonald's. Thin piece of meat on the burger, lots of bun. Good ketchup/mustard flavor with the pickles. Fries were good also and evenly salted.

San Diego, CA

If I could give negative numbers, this would be negative to the infinity. Here is why: Thanksgiving Day, en route to pick up half dozen folks to take to TD Dinner. Stopped here first to pickup a quick soda ( TD dinner has too much alcohol for my taste). FIRST: THE SMELL! OMG! The sewer smell pervaded everywhere. It didn't hit me until the door fully closed and I had ordered the soda. SECOND: The non-English speaking staff THIRD: were obviously furious at working on Turkey Day, and were taking it out on the customers.

New York, NY

Worst. McDonald's. Ever. I don't look to McD's for exceptional food, but I do turn to the golden arches when I want speedy service, a selection of standard items and some hot, salty fries. At this craptastic location you will get: ... service so slow you might get lucky and have two people drop out of line while you wait. Or you might get to watch one of four employees munch on fries while staring listlessly at the growing line of customers. ... inventory so mismanaged they were out of both Sweet Tea and bbq sauce... IN HARLEM. ... equipment so broken only one register was working, and it broke while I was paying. ... employees who will argue with you that the basics of math are just WRONG. ($20 - $6.74 = $13 according to them, the manager even broke out a calculator to show me. Awkward.) ... patrons who get into fights while waiting on line, and staff that will do nothing about it. ... a facility so dirty that there were multiple sauce tops stuck to the window at the register, that no staff person had taken the second to peel off. All in all, if I only had two letters to describe this McD's, they would be EW.

yes, i know i yelped a mcdonalds restaurant, reason is they have this sick ass combo meal that ive never seen before, cause i live in CA. they have a meal thats called mighty wings combo!! fried chicken wings! man some wings....at mcdonalds!

New York, NY

What can I say? Sometimes you're just in the mood for some McDonalds chicken nuggets and fries, or the excellent sausage biscuit if you can wake yourself up early enough in the morning. One great advantage to this location is that it's open 24 hours, so it makes a perfect stop at the end of a night of partying. Do be warned that there can actually be a decently long line on weekends, beginning around 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM, more a function of sloooow service though, although I'm sure it doesn't make sense to keep the restaurant fully staffed just to meet the 2:00 AM drunk rush. Inside, you'll find you're typical 80's / 90's pastel pink and turquoise MCDonald's with a weird fusion of some of their modern McCafe design touches. That and the creepy Ronald statue sitting on the bench facing the door... Come for the Mcnuggets, stay for the frightening clown statue.

I love thiss placee foreall, best place to get your mc.donalds

This Mickey Ds is dirty they take to long and it closes early. I've been to better.

I'll frequent the Golden Arches for their soft serve, apple pies, and frie
s any day.

Brooklyn, NY

pretty much my least favorite mcdonalds ever. ugh.

This McDonald's is the worst of any I have ever been to. I do not have high expectations when visiting a McDonald's but this location could not even meet those. I'm just going to bullet the main points that forced me to give this location 1 star:

*The 2nd floor was roped off leaving only the four small tables on the first floor (albeit that I was there at 9PM, I have been here before during the day and the 2nd floor was still closed) *The floors were filthy. *I ordered a McChicken from the DOLLAR Menu, but it cost $1.49. So I changed to a McDouble from the DOLLAR Menu that cost $1.09. If you can't stick with the DOLLAR concept than redesign your menu, you billionaire corporation. *The ketchup packets that were dropped into my takeout bag were leaking and stuck together. *The only thing that I can say good about this location was that the food was the same old average McDonalds food. Really, how can anybody mess that up. But because I couldn't eat it inside the restaurant, it was cold by the time I got home to eat it.

Queens, NY

just went to this McDonald's feeling like some their fries. I had to toss the fries away. the fries has no taste and it's cold. It seems that it has been sitting there for hours. you would think the would serve you some fresh cooked fries. Hate the food. my boy friend asked for Angus burger with onion only. I guess when you ask 'only' it means they only give you meat patti with whatever the only is. where's the bacon and cheese? told my boyfriend next time must ask for everything without ketchup, mustard, and pickles. there should be a rule that MacDonald can't serve old fries. if the fries has been sitting in the burner for more than 20mins it should be tossed. god I hate to not getting what I want.

Beverly Hills, MI



The Beverly Hills, Southfield Road, McDonald's location is consistent. They demonstrate CONSISTENT INDIFFERENCE. Consistently SLOW. Consistently COLD FOOD and/or wrong food orders. Consistent HIGHER PRICES than other locations. Consistently have to dodge HUGE POTHOLES in their drive-thru. The employees are miserable and I don't blame them.

Drive another mile and a half to the McDonald's team on Woodward and 13 Mile. They'll make it worth it (and their menu is significantly cheaper for the exact same food orders!).

McDonald's is one of the worst fast food restraunt's ever. Its not that clean in there and when i went there ive got food poisoning 3 damn times. Their also slow and you order and wait like a 1/2 hour to get your food. Even with no one in front of you its still slow. Its just kind of crazy. If they want to stick by what their slogan says "we love to see you smile" then maybe they should move a little faster and have nicer help working. Just a thought. Their food is also so gross and is like drenched in grease. Nasty. I mean at least Burger King has Veggie Burgers and stuff like that for vegetarians as to McDonald's doesn't.

Queens, NY

Omg is McDs kidding? Okay, the only plus is the new "Shamrock Shake". Its tasty and makes me think of my great grandma who was Irish...no, i dont look Irish...get over it, smh... Now, the ultimate no-no of any restaurant, fast or slow, is the bathroom. (I really hate writing about my potty time, ugh) Why oh why powers that be, burger powers that is, is there no TOILET SEAT on the toilet, and the handicapped stall at that? Excuse me but isnt that gross? I used sanitizer twice, covered with tissue three times. I could have fallen in and drowned...okay too much drama but Come On! this deserves drama! This McDonalds is always busy and Home Depot is a mile away! Does this really need Obama approval? Was the last seat made of gold? Or did it have to be chisled out of Mt Rushmore (marble...more drama)? I had to take a pic, with my receipt as proof that i have BEEN there and didnt want to DONE that! For shame Ronald and for shame Donald today this was not my kinda place....

The best thing about this mcdonalds is its breakfast. The eggs actually have a poached feel to them and the sausage is never overly hard.

So, as all say, mcdonalds is a long lived fad but it pays to find the ones that make it bearable to eat their food!

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Queens, NY

OK, so I know you're not supposed to review chains, blah blah blah, but this one takes the cake. Or rather the grossest cake known to man. This is the dirtiest, scariest, sketchiest, nastiest, everythingest McD's EVA. I was always genuinely frightened of it, and I still am! How gross is this place, you ask? Bums won't even sleep in that. now that's impressively gross.

Sunday, May 20, 2012

New York, NY

Never would I have imagined that I would give McDonald's such a low rating. But fear not, it's just this location that I can't deal with. You may think that the food tastes the same at all locations but that is not the case. The chicken McNuggets here are about a week old and stale. Gross.
The ONE time I convince my husband to eat Mcdonald's for dinner, they don't bring their A-game. WTF.

We accidentally stumbled into this place after spending too much time in a bar around the corner. The 24 hour sign had mislead us and what seemed to be a curse (they were closed), turned out to be a blessing.
So anyway, as I said, we wanted to go in, and some dude outside told us that they were currently not serving but cleaning. My friend tries to go in (He really wanted that chicken sandwhich!), but the place is deserted. So we stand outside for another minute and another dude comes out saying they are currently taking care of a rat problem.
Ewwww!!!!

New York, NY

An 8 minute wait for 2 Egg McMuffins w/ Cheese at 8:25am on a Weekday is unacceptable! Given that this is the Financial District, everything must be presented on demand. Sure, we can accept a 4 minute wait time but 8 is pushing it.
1 extra star for serving 2 Egg McMuffins w/ Cheese for just $3.00 ($3.26 after tax).
Of course... The following dialog with an employee at this establishment makes me question whether or not to return...
Chun: May I have some Ketchup Packets *Hands over 2 Ketchup Packets) Employee: Here You Go Chun: May I have a few more, possibly 3? Employee: 1 Ketchup Packet for 1 Sandwich *Looks in astonishment as this debate is about KETCHUP Chun: Nevermind, Thanks...
Thanks to you, I now have a bottle of Low Sodium Heinz Ketchup stationed in my cubicle. Everyone knows you can never have enough Ketchup!
Notes on McDonald's: - 2 Egg McMuffins w/ Cheese for $3.00 - Always Crowded! Be prepared to wait

Ac not working very dirty

The lunch crunch wasn't bad at all. Very short wait for Shamrock shake

They deliver.
No, not nutritionally, but they'll actually schlepp your order to buildings nearby. Where else have you seen that?
If you decide to host a wedding here, there's 200 seats to be had, and the food's cheap. Your guests might me confused, but whatever. If Uncle Frank decides he wants chicken instead of fish, their kitchen will crank out his order fast no matter the time of day.

New York, NY

This McDonald's is known as the "fancy McDonalds" because they have piano player, a doorman, granite table tops, and table service. When I walked through the door my monocle fell out of my eye. I thought "ohh my word, this place is even too fancy for me!" Unfortunately, I was woefully under dressed, but they luckily had a tuxedo for me to borrow. As I proceeded up the gracious stair case I admired the imported granite tables, I was impressed to hear piano player playing the moonlight sonata and shit. We were seated quickly in the "orchid room". This room was so fancy it made the Palace of Versailles look like a mere Buckingham Palace. We choose the prix fixe menu consisting of four courses. The first course consisted of a breaded and fried chicken cutlets with a crisp batter. This was paired with a fine vintage Sprite. The second course consisted of frites presented artfully in red cardboard tube with a thick tomato like sauce. The main entree was an enormous sandwich consisting of two patties, pickles, lettuce, and a three layer bun. The "special sauce" included in this sandwich danced over my palate like a ballet. The somellier was helpful throughout this meal. He recommended Coca Cola to complement the complex flavors of our entree. The final course was a desert pastry. It was a crisp and cinnamon apple flavour pastry not unlike those found in the finest bakeries of Paris. Over all this restaurant was the definition of dining excellence, and sophistication. The above is pure fiction. This in all actuality is McDonalds that looks fancy. Its just a McDonalds with the same lousy food you can get anywhere else.

This McD location was the most generous of them all when it came down to handing out the free McCafe iced Mocha during the Summer. I recall people charging at the employees and walking away with two hands full. Needless to say I was one of those TYVM. BTW, I said no whipped cream, spammit! Fine, I'll add a star for that kickass promotion.

Let me see..5 McNuggets for $1 or 20 for over $5. Hrmm..tough call. Now why would they think you can't do math, especially when you are by Wall St? *boggle*
Their fish fillet here is awful - it's nuked and tastes like rubber afterwards. I hear their Angus burger is decent though.

Do people really write reviews of McDonalds'? Well, this one has a piano so on occasion, this is a live music venue. The food is generally served minutes after ordered which must mean it is all very fresh due to the fact that inventory moves so quickly. The staff here wear brets - clearly influenced by the French as evidenced by their French Fries. I often notice that McDonald's employees from other branches come here to order lunch so clearly, this location is superior to others.

New York, NY

Like the Crispy Chicken fingers, sometimes in a salad. There is no more doorman. There used to be 'table' service where someone would set a place for you. I can't remember the last time I had someone do that. Do love their iced coffee. But the piano is still there. And some evenings I will stop by to sip some cofffee and listen. But in the evening the upstairs is closed. A few homeless will meander in so hold your breath and watch your fries.

Kailua, Hawaii

I was babysitting and left with the Mom-van and $20 to take the kids to McD for dinner. This McDonalds has a slide/play place which was being used only by the 2 girls I was with - they had a blast before and after mealtime! That's why I gave 2 stars instead of just one... TERRIBLE customer service! Before you judge me, please know that my very first job at the age of 15 was at McDonalds and I'm always more than kind to McD employees. I ordered myself a grilled chicken sandwich and ended up with a McChicken. No no no - not the $1 menu mystery chicken patty! I was trying to be moderately healthy. I told the guy who was getting my order together that it was incorrect. The guy who had taken my order mumbled something about "that's not what she said" and that was it, they both went on their McWay and ignored me. I saw someone who looked like the McManager and caught his attention, letting him know what was up, as politely as I could. I wanted GRILLED chicken and would be happy to pay for the difference. He didnt' apologize to me at all, just went to the order taker and told him to fix it. Then, Mr. McMumbles said "there are so many grilled chicken sandwiches! #5, #6, #7..." I had to speak up and tell him - ORIGINAL. GRILLED. CHICKEN. I paid the difference like I said I would, although I didn't think I should have to since it was his McMistake, but I didn't want them to do something yucky to my food. The only thing the manager said to him after the whole ordeal was PAY ATTENTION. Nobody said sorry or offered me a delicious McFlurry to compensate for my troubles. Oh well... I got my grilled chicken sandwich, the lettuce was wilted and the tomato was gross. I only ate half. The kids were thrilled to play there, loved the milk, and ate half of their happy meals - which was good for those picky eaters! McDonalds remains a need-to-eat place for me!
