Our food was cooked fresh, where the chicken nuggets and fries were hot and crispy, and salted to perfection. Although they were short staffed, they managed to complete our order quickly, and we are more than satisfied with our lunch. Sam was very friendly, polite, and efficient.

Best burger I’ve ever had at a McDonalds in my 28 years of living. And the cashier was so friendly as well.

march 28, best day ever. my colleague and I were scrolling through available restaurants nearby, and stumbled upon this location. we were amazed by how truly horrible the reviews were. while scrolling, we said we MUST dip our toes in. while arriving, we were a little thrown off when the dining room doors were locked. okay no biggie though!!!!! we quickly moved on to bigger and brighter things: the drive thru. we were greeted with delight and eagerness after waiting ten seconds. the mcdonald’s worker was friendly, and we had no issues while ordering, until one hiccup. my dear colleague requested a ‘daily double’, a luxurious 2 pattied burger accompanied by lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and onions. a work of art truly. anyways, our sweet friend in the drive thru said : “a what?” hopes. crushed. okay but no worries though! seems as though they are sold at select locations, totally a customer issue. nevertheless, we persisted on with our $5 meal deals and pulled up to the second window. we only had to wait 20 seconds before being greeted by our beautiful bearded friend, let’s call him sue. sue immediately notified us that the fries were fresh and delicious and BOY OH BOY was he right?! (more to come on this later…) and with an enticing smile on his face, he handed us our order and left us wanting more… we zipped into a parking spot and unboxed the marvelous beauty before us. now back to fresh fries thing, MAMMA MIA !!! these fries were toooo gooooood. along with our near perfect mcnuggets and sandwiches that followed, these fries were perfection. I can’t say enough of how impressed my colleague and I were. our jaws were open the whole time. after the delicious meal, we rubbed our bellies and said “mmm mmmmmmm” before heading back home. just a short 2 minutes. and with that, we can’t recommend this location enough. we laughed, we cried, and we shared some intimate moments. make memories today, and visit this mcdonald’s on ryan street.

Like other mcdonalds, these workers are lying by marking the orders as completed ,long before they are actually ready. This seems to artificially improve their worker ratings because orders are getting done "quickly" as far as the automated timings of the system thinks. If you're going to work, Do it correctly.

I haven't eaten McDonald's prior to this for approximately 3 years. I was pleasantly surprised that the Big Mac wasn't overloaded with sauce and lettuce or that the size changed drastically. I had ordered it and my son picked it up for me (I had surgery the day before) and even with him stopping at another place after the fries and sandwich were still warm and fit the craving. It's nice to actually have a McDonald's that takes pride in their work. As a customer I would most definitely frequent this McDonald's again. Thanks for making my day.
