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....

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).

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)
