When home for a birthday weekend for one of my siblings, I had to run out to grab a few things. Not…read morehaving time to squeeze in dinner we had to make due. There are choices in this area, but we opted for what we thought would be fast. We should have gone elsewhere if we were looking for fast. This McDonald's has been here for decades. Outlasting the go cart track, multiple rebuilds of the Sheetz, and stores closing down nearby. We pulled in, later in the evening, and the parking lot was nearly empty. We actually wondered if the lobby was closed. But we took the chance to come inside. Like most locations, this one focuses too much on the drive thru. Which became apparent when we had placed our orders and waiting long than you should have to at a fast food place. What was surprising was the customer service. The lady that did end up serving our food to us was a delight. She was funny, didn't take any grief, and if I remember correctly, was singing while she worked. I loved that she put my Dad in his place. My Dad was being a bit too much asking for things that he could have grabbed himself. The food is what you would expect. I did give their new sandwich a try. It was decent and possibly too much food for one meal. The Big Arch is basically the Big Mac in a trench coat. Better cheese and fried onion straws. This location went through a change when McDonald's wanted to grow up, but they held onto some nostalgia things. Like Ronald McDonald outside on a bench and some of the old roofline. But, like I said, not many people will care since they are in the drive thru.

The interior was well kept and had plenty of comfortable seating options. The staff were friendly. Very good location right off of the freeway! Perfect if you want an easy in and out experience. 5 stars! I'll be sure to return as I do highway 80 with some regularity.

After being out in the area my Dad started grumbling about how he was hungry. When Dad wants…read moresomething to eat, you find some place to eat. I wasn't in the mood for going to a sit down restaurant, so fast food it was. Yes, before I get further into this review, this is the infamous McDonald's that so many people wrote (and it appears to be that they are still doing so) bad reviews. So if you see a review with reference to pest control or cleanliness of the restaurant, bypass them. Most of those reviews are from people that are from out of state, probably never been to Pennsylvania, and most certainly have never been to Altoona. Not a dis, just a fact. When we got here, I have to say that the parking lot was really confusing. Even though this sits on the main drag through the area, it abuts a residential neighborhood. I was trying to circle around the lot to head back to the front (it is one-way) I didn't think you could because only looked like the drive thru was the only lane. Not to worry, there is a road, more of the size of an alley, that you can make your way back up around. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to dine inside. Ordering wise, I chose the kiosk, tapped away at the screen, got a table number and then headed to find a seat. Dining room was decently clean even though it was busy with people. Another note on the dining area, there is a lot of space taken up for things that shouldn't be there. There is one small alcove that has two tables, but not for customers, they have a bunch of stuff there for people to apply to work there, and possible they do job interviews there. Then there is the area towards the bathrooms, large enough to accommodate several people and great enough if you want to be antisocial. However, this area was kind of off limits. You know, the area where said incident took place. The staff seem to have taken up roots here. At the end of my meal I did head back here to use the restroom and almost every table had something on it. Laptops, paperwork, general nonsense items. That way no one could sit in this area. I understand, but if it is a busy and full dining room, customers should come first. As far as the food, the order was almost correct. The prepared items were definitely right, but when our food was brought to the table there were no drinks. When we brought that up the employee asked if we ordered from the kiosk. Obviously we did, why else were you delivering the food to the table, with the table number on it? Also, that shouldn't matter if we ordered at the kiosk or not, either fill the cups in the back and at the least give us our cups. When I did go fill our cups after finally getting them, that was a hassle. We both wanted sweet tea, but the two containers were both nearly empty. It was like I was standing there waiting for the tea to be freshly brewed. For the remainder of the meal, nothing special, it's McDonald's. I still am not the biggest fan, but will make do. I am also fairly sure this location does not warrant the low, fake reviews it currently has.

Being that I had just stopped in the area for a few other things I found myself near here. At the time of my visit it appears that they were in the midst of construction, so be careful when accessing the lot. When I got here, I parked, and went inside to order. I used the kiosk in conjunction with my app. After a few taps on the screen I paid, took my table number, and ventured off to find a seat. Which was a crucial thing here. Being near lunchtime during the summer, there were a multitude of children in the restaurant. I ventured towards the back of the space and wedged myself into a table. What I thought was going to be a good spot turned out to be just as bad as if I was sitting next to the children. It appeared to be break time for at least three if not four employees. Which, good for them, they deserve a break. But when one of them is loud and in every one of their coworker's business, it's kind of annoying. She was loud the whole time, in and out of the side door. Putting her coworker's personal business on blast. Kind of a crappy thing to do when your coworker, according to you, was having a bad day. But to you, it was kind of funny, noted by your constant jokes you made on other people's behalf. You only seemed to calm down after your captive audience of coworkers dissipated and/or returned to work. Finally my food arrived. The employee that brought it to me joked about how hidden I was. I told her it was supposed to be for the quietness of the area, little did she know, it wasn't quiet. Food was on par with what I have come to expect from a McDonald's. Once I finished it, I made a pit stop and exited out the side door.

I had sirloin tips and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. The steak was cooked as I ordered and pretty tender for diner steak. We also shared an appetizer of chicken bites (zingers) which were very good. The dining area is charming and clearly from another era. The portions here are not 'you can eat for 3 days from 1 order' huge, they are filling but not probably shareable sized. Seniors will appreciate the smaller portions along with a drink and desert for a low price offered for 55 and over. I absolutely loved that I could eat my (non-senior) entire dinner and a few chicken bites without being too full for dessert. I had a single scoop sundae for desert and it was just what it sounded like. Including tax (but not tip) our 2 normal entrees, 2 soft drinks, 2 deserts and a shared appetizer came in just under 60 dollars. That's an extraordinary value in 2026.
