Fast service. Good fast food. Gossipy manager and staff. This is a must read: I waited on my order in an empty wait line area. The staff including the manager or whatever he was. They went on to talk about how much of a "B" one of their fellow employees are. I walked up and leaned in and simple told them. "Listen, I heard your entire conversation and that's not appropriate. Imagine if I was video taping you on my phone? Would you like the franchise owner seeing the that?". And I went on to say "I know you're going to say what a B when I leave. But you know I'm right". read more

Kelly the manager is the rudest one out of ALL of them... I just asked the person that was taking my order "Can you please make sure my biscuits and muffins are not hard, bc the last couple of times they were." Kelly in the back uttered under her breath thinking we couldn't hear her..."This is fast food not a restaurant..." When I made eyes contact and when my mom spoke up saying "I'm sorry what was that, I think I'm still using my hard earning money the same way?" She turned away and walked away.... When we left the front counter she continued the same conversation...about US!! A MANGER!! Thank Kelly! read more

How is this place still in business??? Easily the worst McDonalds in Western Ma not one redeeming quality avoid at all cost when you think it can't get worse it does!!! read more

Every single thing! Food is cold and gross. Staff could care less. Heating help is impossible! Thos location in Athol MA is the worst! Horrible!!!!! read more

This could be the slowest McDonalds if not the slowest fast food restaurant in the world. They have 6 waiting bays that are always full. Not once, whether a multi-item order or just getting a drink, do I not get told to wait. And if all 6 bays are full, you sit at the speaker because no one can move. And somehow making it worse, the food is still lukewarm and bland. The only reason anyone comes here is the location being the only "fast" food place for several towns. read more

Not fast at all, took us 30 minutes to get our food and fries were cold and food was super greasy and workers had an attitude.

The line was sooooooo slow. It took us 35 to get our food.Then also threw our food in the bag it was a mess.this is the worst McDonald's ever. The place looked nice thought... on the outside. read more

Worse place you could go to never has anything fresh wait time is ridiculous the whole store is dirty like they clean it once a month management talks to the staff terribly like there slaves while they are on there phone if there's a problem with your order they make it like you did something wrong never go there you will never get your order right now right customer service and even the gm is rude as hell read more

They are disrespectful, half my food was missing I didn't even have my drink, there was trash on the ground with no one cleaning, I do not recommend this place read more

Every time i order here they either forget food or mess my order up. They cant get a simple order correct. Ive never had a good experience with them. read more

sitting in drive through for 20 minutes now no response no one answer phones you have a bunch of young kids who don't appreciate their job or that can respectfully serve the community., tough need to fix this. 2x been here and a complete nightmare read more

Here, the food is either fresh or not fresh. It's usually fresh and it's a great burger at times. The service is quick at the drive thru, but takes longer in person. The ambiance is like any other McDonald's restaurant chain. read more

Takes a long time to place and receive an order. Multiple mistakes in orders. Unable to print receipts for those of us who need them to file for business reimbursements. read more

This place is Horrible! If you go here you can guarantee you will not receive what you ordered. The staff doesn't care obviously. Will never go here again. read more

Very nice exterior and Interior, you can tell it is a newer restaurant. Cool lay out. Cool wall designs and table designs. Plenty of spacing in the restaurant so you don't have to be too close to people. They deliver the food to your table here which is nice. The booths and lighting are quite nice. They don't let you get your ketchup yourself but that's reasonable. Overall the seating is the coolest feature. This one is definitely top tier. These fries are so damn good. The best nuggets I've had in a long time. Ketchup is fire tho. Lid dispenser for drinks is awesome. The employees are very nice. The food came out quick. The cheeseburgers are above average but not the best. read more

McDonald's - Ate it all up - Burgers Near Me - Athol, Massachusetts

This place has horrible service. We waited a half hour to ask for our order. I asked for 3 drinks a S, M, and a L. He gave me all mediums and I asked for a large and he slammed the cup in my hand with such aggression when I asked kindly. This place was the best years ago and was my goto place. But now it sucks. The only thing that's good here is fries. Didn't want to write this but after this incident I had to. read more

Used to be good but lately I'm not sure what has happened but they cannot keep up. Waited in the drive through for 40 minutes today and when I finally got to the window they asked me to drive up and wait further. Then they messed up the entire order they gave me sausage instead of bacon, I hate sausage, and there was no hash brown. Finally I ordered my coffee extra extra and it was black no cream and no sugar. What were they doing in those 40 minutes? The place has plenty of staff. The staff is nice but at this point I'd prefer them to yell and degrade me as long as they can get the order right and on time. read more

I ordered a happy meal small vanilla shake and a medium chocolate shakes. When I pulled up the girl handing me the food handed the shakes which were quite melted (but they were so busy so no big deal) however the small shake was not filled and was three different colors. I said I'm so sorry I ordered a vanilla shake ... She looked at me in disgusted and said that's what you got I said I'm sorry but look at the shake note sure why its grey and brown but I know its not vanilla ( my foster son only can get the vanilla so we know they are yellow mostly white looking. She said she didn't fill it.. I said yeah no problem, but can I please just get a new one. I have two kids sick at home waiting on these. I further said I'm not trying to be difficult but look, then again I showed her the shake and asked what that was she very rudely said have no idea we push a button and that's what comes out. I said Yeah but we can agree this is not correct, could I please get a vanilla one since that's what I paid for. She reluctantly went back to the shake machine, I watched her point to me while other workers used the machine she returned to the window saying machine was broken.. even though I saw others still making shakes. I said not sure why you are being so rude these are for my sick kids and I don't want to give them something with clearly other things in it especially not knowing what it is... she was so rude.. I get things happen , honestly no big deal but to be so incredibly rude and not try to fix it is such bad customer service. The Mcdonalds in Orange ma is my go too when my foster kids need a treat and all my kiddos want a special treat as well but this makes me not want to go there again. In the past if a shake order got wrong an employee would simply apoligize offer immediately to make it right or at least get someone who could fix or explain the situation. I have no idea if it was half chocolate and vanilla, if it was mold or something . Maybe she didn't know either but she was soooo beyond rude and it was like the more I was polite and not trying to be a pain she was just more rude. I did not get her name as I felt bad to be holding up the line anymore, I wished I had but she was young and had cool blue hair and a really horribly rude disposition. read more

McDonald's - a plastic cup with whipped cream in it - Burgers Near Me - Athol, Massachusetts

McDonald's used to be decent food for a good price, now it's absolute garbage at a rip off price, at least at this location, where do they find these people to work there. read more

Dont go here unless you want to wait and not get anything you want, constantly out of stock on things and terrible customer service

This has to be THE worst McDonald's I have ever been to. From messing up the orders, to the cold food when you do get it. The older man, who I think is a manager, spends more time playing around and joking with his teenage girl staff, than making sure they actually do their job correctly. Do yourself a favor and travel the extra 5mins, if you really need fast food, to Wendy's or taco bell. This place is bad. read more

Fast service and very polite employees most of the time they do tend to just throw the ingredients of the burger into the box instead of putting it together kind of annoying but what can you expect from mcdonalds. read more

While traveling down Route 2 we were a little hungry so we decided to stop in at this McDonald`s. When we got off the highway the signs were a bit deceiving and it was farther away than we had hoped. After we finally did make it to this location, we were happy with our choice because we received good service and good food . The restaurant itself is large and it was nice that they had a double drive up. This location also had a playground which you don't see often. The staff here was polite as well as quick and the food was delicious. Overall it was a decent place to stop and we are happy that we chose this location rather than the one a bit further up Route 2. Again, it would have been better if it was closer to the highway. read more

See all

Worst McDonalds ever visited, cold food (simple hamburger) and presented like a 3 year old put it up. AND, whatever happened to the all day breakfast? read more

This McDonald's sucks! Everytime I come they are always out of that particular item. Last time I came months ago they were "out of potatoes" so couldn't give fries & their fountain machine was down so no soda either. This time today we went to get McFlurrys and of course their Ice Cream machine is "Broken" Seriously get your stuff together, this location isn't that busy for stuff to be constantly broken or having silly issues. Rant over read more

The only thing I would like to change is that they only have one game table and there is no playground But the food is delicious read more

They always forget the fucking lettuce on the mc chicken so I definitely recommend checking your shot b4 leaving this is the 5 damn time I'm so fed up read more

Worst service ive ever had. Nothings ever come out right. Workers are highly unprofessional and its a complete waste of time and money. Theyre more worried about getting food out quick then the quailty theyre presenting. read more

Went in at 11:30 and am happy to report the employees were attentive and polite, food was ready quickly and we'll prepared and my order was correct. This trip was a huge improvement and while it wasn't incredibly busy there was a steady flow of customers. Good to see progress here. read more

Compared to other McDonald's, this one is pretty damn good if i day so myself. Friendly service and 9/10 times get my order right!

This restaurant is always gross. The soda fountain is always sticky and out of the essentials. Tables are almost never clean. At least they put the wet floor sign to make to seem like they cleaned? I guess? The floor was never wet that I could tell. Do yourself a favor and drive a few miles to Wendy's At least their restaurant is tidy. read more

the ice cream or milkshake machine is always down, that's so fucking ridiculous! I tried getting a shamrock shake And I had to go to the next town, Greenfield to get a shake. "The machine is being cleaned" yeah bullshit, it's ALWAYS being cleaned. read more

McDonald's in Athol Ma is a joke. Any time I ever go there my order is always wrong. These people want $15 an hour but can do a simple job like pay attention. I'll just go to Wendy's instead. read more

Let me begin with: When the food is made correctly, it's Delicious! With that out of the way, it seems to me that our local Mc D's is currently doing some major changes. Much needed changes. The late night staff tries to get out of doing their work. The late night menu goes until 4 am. But according to the staff, it is not. The Cashier started arguing with me telling me that I had no clue about the policies at this particular MD's. They shut down the grills by at least 3:30 and refused to serve me what I ordered. The cashier first said: "We don't serve that food after 12 pm", then I informed her that I had called ahead of time days before to check the rules and times of the menus. She told me I was incorrect. Then she stated "The cook already turned down the grill, and it takes too long to get it up to proper temperature" I then told her "I am here at 3:30 in the morning, do I look like I'm in a rush? I will wait for the grill to be turned up". She then stated "The cook already cleaned the grill off and does not want to have to re-wash the grill". I then told her, "HAVE HIM CLEAN IT, IT TAKES THREE SECONDS!" She then told me: "We can not prepare the food you are requesting, because we already put it away". I disputed that. She then told me that I could not have french fries because they already turned down the oil, and they put the french fries baskets away and they only have hash brown baskets. She then stated that I was incorrect with all of my information and that she is tired of explaining it to me and that she was going to go get the manager to set me straight. By this time, 3:50, she comes out of his office and angrily told me "You can only order these three sandwiches, and if you want fries.. you have to eat hash browns" Then as she was taking my order, she was angrily scolding me telling me that people like me make her angry and she's tired of putting up with customers like me and that if i want to eat, then I should come earlier. She made sure we knew we were not wanted, and all I could do is think "please don't spit in my food, I've seen that movie 'Waiting'.." 3 out of 5 times I go to MD's here in Athol, my food order is incorrect. And when it is, and you complain (like the glazed onions on the Bacon Club house) about something missing, they say "we ran out of it" (meaning they don't want to prep any more), oh my favorite Sandwich is the bacon club house. Yet for some reason, the cooks don't understand that BACON is supposed to be on the sandwich. The last time I went, I had 1 half piece of bacon and no glazed onions. I am glad they have people coming in and overhauling the store. It's about time. I think the Staff needs to be trained better in, not only, Customer Service politeness, but how to make the food properly, how to pay attention to the slips when it's a special order, and to train the window people in what is on the food (like asking for no tomatoes on the bacon club house, the person said "they don't come with tomatoes". Then, I had tomatoes on it! Frustrating. I hope the new managers get their staff in line, or fire the people who don't know what they're doing. The bad employees are bringing down the MD's. read more

It's mcdonalds. You get what you pay for. Couple of miles of of route 2 if you're going because you saw the highway sign.

This is by far the worst McDonalds on the planet...my order is wrong every time or they are out of something like cheese for example...how do you run out of cheese!? I realize it's fast food but there should be standards and this place is lacking in all areas read more

Always had horrible service but I have a different complaint. I applied for a job here and got called back for an interview. I happened to go to school with the girl who interviewed me, never once spoke to her though, I went to shake her hand and she wouldn't touch my hand which I already thought was weird. Then I would call the store and nobody ever picked up the phone. (Bad for service too)I found out later two of the employees also went to school with me that I've also never spoken to had told my interviewer they didn't want me working there. I think this is very unfair to keep me out of a job Bc we weren't friends in school? Or because you don't like me for a reason I couldn't even explain because I've never spoken to them. But anyways I'm glad I found this out, I wouldn't want to work in this horrible work environment anyways. read more

Horrible....just horrible. Every time I've come here there has been an issue. Stay away.

my stepsister and i were looking for a mcdonald's today bc apparently doordash isn't a thing in the middle of orange... and we came across this mcdonald's which f*ck the reviews bc we think it's bussin and they had ranch 9/10 read more

Worst McDonalds ever - customers are forced (not asked if busy) to use the self service kiosk - of course I'm not sure how you're supposed to know that. I walk in, walk up to the counter and am waiting (there's no line), and the manager tells me to follow her to the kiosk she won't take my order unless I'm paying cash. How'd she know I wasn't paying cash (she didn't even ask). The last thing McDonalds had was customer service - now that's gone, there's no reason to eat here. read more
