Boise, ID
Not bad at all. After enjoying a relaxing four days lakeside albeit frozen and a couple days of solid skiing the four of us sat around a table enjoying our Sausage Egg McMuffins one early Valentine's Day morning. It hit the spot. The cheese was actually melted all the way through on our little sausage treats which is rare in my past experiences and the lady behind the counter offered us an unusual upgrade, one that I had not heard before. She asked if we wanted to upgrade to 2 hash browns. We were tempted, well I was.
Fairfax, VA
I was initially unsure on how to rate this McDonald's. First, I thought the service was very good. I used a coupon that I got in the mail for a $1.00 Filet-O-Fish and I used a Valentine's Day certificate for a free small ice cream cone. The manager did not even bat an eye when I used them together. I thought that was great. She got my food incredibly fast.
On the other hand, while I was waiting for my food, another customer came up to the counter and complained about his food. He showed the manager that one of his McNuggets was raw. I saw it, and it was definitely pink in the middle. He was very upset and asked for his money back. The manager was apologetic, but I think they could have been more apologetic. They gave his money back to him, and he left. I felt they should have done more because that mistake is a very big deal.
So I give this place 2 stars. Raw fast food is a big deal!

A couple observations about this McDonald's:
- they never offer any of the nationwide promotions (e.g. free glasses) and they never accept coupons.
- the staff is generally unfriendly and frustrated (and I'm not talking about the late night shift people). I saw a manager toss a boxed big mac to an employee, arguably because he was bored.
Not that they should matter too much when choosing to go to a McDonald's, but anyways.
Tip: they have a whitetable cloth valentine's day dinner that I've been meaning to try :)
Sunnyvale, CA
I gave this McDonalds an extra star because they put some extra effort in that I don't see at other McD's. They have Chinese New Years decorations and Valentine's Day decorations. They were cute! They also have free wifi which was good because me and the husband had to kill some time. They also had a couple of comfy i guess i'd call them living room chairs with a shorter table that we ate at. It made us feel a little more comfortable than the plastic chairs or booths. I'll come here when I'm in the area.
New York, NY
McDonald's? 4 stars? I know.....I wouldn't normally review a fast-food chain BUT it is a guilty pleasure of mine and this McDonald's is like none other. Seriously. I missed the talking trash can that the first Yelper mentioned (will definitely have to go back for that) but this is seriously the nicest McDonald's I've ever seen. I went there on Valentine's Day for a McFlurry (because that's how my classy friends and I roll) and was amazed with the decor. It kind of reminded me of my college cafeteria (in a good way) with cozy booths and semi funky furniture. The place was super clean and a lot bigger than it looks when you walk in. To top it off their prices are a little lower than some other McDonald's in Manhattan (I'm kind of embarrassed that I even know that). If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

Gorman, CA
As a mountain resident, I go here quite a bit when I want some comfort food like a fish sandwich or a Big Breakfast or when I just want to look at some folks who don't look pasty white like me and the rest of the people who live in the Tejon Pass. It is clean and convenient. I watched President Obama's State of the Union Speech here because I don't have my own TV.
New Orleans, LA
Welcome to WalDonald's. We found them to be very generous with the special sauce, and the plastic sack was super absorbent. There may have been a fingernail in the fries. After licking our paws clean, we wanted to do it all over again.

This is possibly the very first Bi-Polar restaurant that I have ever visited. Depending on the shift and/or day of the week you will find it to be either the friendliest McDs or possibly the rudest you have ever visited. I'm absolutely positive that the manager is Two Face who flips a coin to decide on what kind of customer service you will receive that day.
This restaurant is always very clean, which is not the norm for this area.
This place is on the way to work. I usually get a large coffee ($1.40) on weekdays and sometimes sausage burritos on the weekend.
Reasons to go:
1) Convenience. Sadly, it's the best fast food place with a drive-thru anywhere near my hotel. It is also next to a gas station.
2) Chain food consistency. There's a solid chance (67%) by my experience that you will get standard Mickey D's food; nothing better, nothing worse.
Reasons to avoid:
1) Staff. Most of the weekday morning staff is respectful, some even border on friendly. It seems every shift outside of this is full of people who appear to have a jaded and apathetic disposition.
2) Cleanliness. It's Avondale and not very clean although compared to the Wendy's across the road, it is the pinnacle of hygiene.
3) Food. One time my burritos were cold :( those things are not meant to be consumed cold.

i would never go into a mcdonalds...except that at 9pm i was walking by and really wanted some soft serve (and a small fry).
once i got over the diaper smell in there, i had an amusing time.
i asked if they only had vanilla soft serve.
mcdonalds staff stared at me.
okay, do you have chocolate ice cream?
no.
do you have vanilla?
yes.
okay can i have a vanilla soft serve cone.
what?
you know, soft serve (pointing)
oh a cone. yah. that'll be $1..
wait, and a small fry (and whatever he's getting). also do you have sprinkles?
we got dem (points to m&m's) and oreos mashed up.
oh, so no sprinkles? can you put the m&m's on the cone?
i not gonna try.
wait, why'd you tell me then?.... huh? okay just a plain vanilla softserve then.
a what?
a vanilla cone.
oh.
jeez. was seriously difficult to order one cone here. but, i was laughing most of the time, so i got a little chuckle with my vanilla soft serve.
still unsure as to why it smelled diapers. there was a very large fan blowing on the floor- not sure about that either.
