    Location: On the main road into Elliot Lake, between Tims…read moreand the new Hotel. Parking: Well, it's plentiful and freeeeeeee Store: The outside was renovated so it looks like mcdonalds all over. The drive thru is weird, you have to go over a giant bump that i always feel will scrape the bottom of my car, also the accessible entrance requires folks that need the assistance to cross through the drive thru line up. Inside: it has not been renovated. There are a couple of tables with chairs that move, but the majority is tables spiked into the floor so it doesn't move and those chairs that don't move either. Food: McDonalds stuff. Although there's a McDonald across the street from me and the burgers taste different. they are better here. Staff: They have so many people working and they are still kinda slow. You get excellent customer service compared to some McDonald but it comes at the expense of speed (weirdly). By slow, i mean compared to city McDonalds. It's still way faster than a lot of places!! i do genuinely like it, as much as you can like mcdonalds

    This McDonald's is not upholding McDonald's standards. First, I ordered a cafe latte, they don't…read morehave the McCafe coffees any longer because the machine broke, and it will not be replaced because its too expensive! Since then I noticed the wall promoting McCafe has been tiled over. Secondly I ordered a junior chicken (plus other things), my bill was too high. Seeking McDonald's online, no prices quoted, so I called .... they don't put prices online as the franchise can charge whatever they want! We are being soaked in Elliot Lake! Thirdly, while I had McDonald's by phone I commented about the lack of an automatic door; they'd get more customers with even one. Next door Tim Horton's has both doors automatic and have a steady stream of customers, whereas McDonald's has a trickle. TH has renovated, as well as redone the drive through, McDonald's has done nothing. It looks shabby in comparison. So they are not improving, not upholding McDonald's standards, and overcharging us!

    McDonald's - The accessibility entrance is in the drive thru lane. This woman had to wait for two  cars to clear before she could get in.

    Grill and chill was on our way back to the inn where we were staying. I saw the reviews so we…read morechecked it out and it did not disappoint! We ordered a poutine to share while we waited on our pizza to go. The poutine was amazing! Lots of gravy and cheese curds on fresh cut fries! We had the pizza for dinner and I loved it! We went back for lunch the next day. Burgers were really good and we had poutine again! The portions are generous. We had to take the poutine home. Service was amazing! I highly recommend this place!

    First of all the food is mediocre at best. They say you get a lot .. which is true if you like the…read morefrench fries. The protein, we had fish and liver and the portion was over cooked in both cases. Though we each had two pieces of fish the size of each piece was about half of what you would get in any other restaurant. The liver was unpalatable, over cooked and gristly. The service was the major issue .. specifically the "manager". We were a group of 7 and had approached the restaurant at about 4:30 pm to ask if they could accommodate us for dinner. We were told yes but that they had a reservation for a group at 6:00pm and we would have to be finished by then. We arrived at 4:45 and ordered our meals as I've already talked about. We were finished and a person, not our waitress, came and cleared the table at 5:37pm. We waited patiently for the server to return which she finally did at 5:57pm. She asked us if anyone would like dessert and 3 of us did order. About 2 minutes later the "manager" came to the table and said, rather rudely/confrontationally, that 'we knew when we arrived we had to be out by 6:00pm and we would have to leave now'. We explained that we had been watching the time and had sat waiting for 20 minutes. She said her girls were very busy. Too bad for us. When we explained that that wasn't our fault she just nudged the waitress making a comment that she could have sold the dinners we ate to someone else. Never an apology or acknowledgement that the problem was theirs ... all we got was attitude and rudeness. This was clearly a management issue but as it turned out the "manager" was anything but. There are limited eating establishments in Mindemoya and if Mum's (excellent experience there) isn't open I'ld recommend picking up something from the Foodland's kitchen.
