I had the extreme pleasure of meeting the above Yelper and she is right on the money...EWWWW. It was starting to rain, so the inside Play Place at a McDonalds seemed like the happening place to go so we could talk while my little one played. Besides smelling like urine, not one table was cleaned! No one ever came in! My daughters socks were BLACK when we were done and she only went up and down two or three times. I like totally disinfected her from head to toe when we got home!

As one meanders down Shattuck, leaving the melodious screech of that tone-deaf Asian grandpa violinist plopped in front of the Downtown BART, he/she will encounter the wondrous and familiar smell of cooking fry grease and meat patties fulminating to perfection under fluorescent lighting.

This is where the fantasy ends as the aroma of McDonald's fare fails to mask the stench of urine, cigarettes, and whiskey emanating from the many homeless that make this establishment their dining room, restroom, and even shower. If you enjoy listening to a crazed bearded hobo debating to himself the follies of letting unicorns draft the new health care bill or the imminent invasion of the U.S. by soulless Chinese robots powered by youTube- then by all means sit right down in the hard, uncomfortable booths where a runaway street urchin has probably made love on with his dog.

In terms of food, it is sub-par, even for McDonald's. Something is just completely off about the Big Mac. Everything is bloody soggy including the fries...and don't get me started on the lie that is the crispy chicken sandwich. I really don't understand how this occurs, but I suspect it is due to the staff having lost some of their functionary motor skills when their souls were sucked from their orifices. This tends to happen whilst working with patrons that are constantly trying to pay in bird seed, bubble gum, and empty aluminum cans.

TL;DR
Overall, 2 stars because man I still frickin love Mickey D's, but unless you want to vicariously experience rock-bottom destitution via the regulars here, stay clear.

FILTHY BATHROOMS
RUDE WORKERS

I was told to use the restroom on the second floor, when I went up stairs a woman mopping the floor (American) who had her thug boyfriend sitting there yelled "get up you ain't sittin up here" (I wasn't sitting) and I replied "I'm waiting for the restroom" and she responds "Don't be sittin up here" at that point I just ignored her. Upon entering the restroom puddles of urine all over the floor, feces, graffiti on the wall, I finally respond "Try a little harder to clean the restroom" of course she started cursing and yelling. These are the type of people McDonald's franchises hire, the lowest of the low. I'm sure plenty of college kids could do those jobs but they hire the lowest of the low. Sad.
