Just for the poutine. Otherwise, regular mcdonalds ambiance and service -- nothing special. We wanted to try their poutine- loved the flavor of the gravy and i'm happy they use squeaky cheese. Tried their new drink - mango peach - really tasty on a hot afternoon! If you're not into sweet things- maybe ask for less syrup! read more

My friends and I arrived around 4 am for some breakfast September 19. We were hoping for some hash browns and breakfast burritos but unfortunately the system did not update until 5 minutes post-order from the kiosk. We were hoping we would leave within 10 minutes but it took almost 20 minutes. The employee working the front at the time seemed like he was on his first day. He was extremely slow and was not familiar with reading order properly. The breakfast sandwiches were done and sat on the counter for nearly 5 minutes before I had to ask about the rest of the order which was just fries and a drink. I also ordered a paper bag from the kiosk and when I asked where my bag was, he told me to pay for it first. I don't know why he did not look carefully over the receipt so I had to grab the extremely hot food with my hands on account of not knowing how long he would take giving me a bag. This encounter led to our group being late to our 5 am bus to Lake Moraine. Do yourself a favor and go to Tim Hortons the night before and order some food to prevent such a catastrophic morning. read more

To be fair, I am comparing this McDonald's to the ones we have here in New York City. The staff were generally nice (well I guess all the Canadians I met were), the dining area AND bathrooms were pretty clean, and food overall is as consistent as the brand. read more

Stopped in the morning. Service was slow and inaccurate. Pay station didn't work. 30 minute wait for a sausage mcmuffin Better places to go read more

I went to the bathroom and 5 minutes later a girl and a guy hit my door in an aggressive way, so aggressive that I had to go out and say I was using the bathroom, they seemed drunk or high, I spoke to the manager and he said he couldn't do anything about it, but he gave me a coffee and an ice cream, it was a horrible experience because I was a tourist, apart from that the bathrooms are disgusting, it had good reviews of Banff but I don't recommend this place, by the way, there is only one bathroom read more

We needed a meal after a night hike around 9:30pm on a Friday evening and 20 chicken nuggets, a large fries, and a burger between two people helped. You can order at the counter or using the kiosk and have the option to pick up or have the food brought to you. Seating was a bit limited since there was an area that was closed off, but we were able to get a booth once we got our order. Single occupant gender neutral restroom available. Credit cards accepted. I noticed a sign that advertised coffee with a cop on Wednesdays so that was cute. read more

McDonald's - Chicken nuggets, large fries, and burger - Fast Food Near Me - Banff, Alberta

Extremely slow. We waited over 30 minutes for 2 breakfast meals. Go anywhere else, especially if you're in a rush.

Had to stop to try their poutine - service was quick and easy with self-serve kiosks. The poutine was surprisingly really good - McDonald's fries are always delicious and I liked the flavor of the gravy and there was a ton of cheese curds in the poutine. Definitely stop by if you're craving for a poutine without wanting to pay restaurant prices. read more

McDonald's - a hand holding a box of french fries - Fast Food Near Me - Banff, Alberta

This McDonald's was pretty nice - as are most of them outside the USA. It was clean, plenty of seating, nice bathrooms, and automated ordering on touch-screens. Like most foreign locations outside the USA - there are some Canadian food items on the menu like poutine which is nice. We didn't try it bc it looked fairly basic but it seems to be a popular choice according to reviews. I have had poutine at other spots which are delicious - but I'm more of a purist and didn't wanna get it at a McDonald's location. Service was a bit slow as it took probably 15 or more minutes for the single double cheeseburger standard order my husband placed. But it's busy and the food was fresh and we easily found seating and used the restroom downstairs which was large and well-stocked and clean. read more

Lots of Canada exclusives, which is really cool. Food took a long time to come out, but that means it's fresh right? The poutine here was just okay, I probably won't get it again. Double Big Mac was cool and the wraps are delicious. read more

This was my third visit, and once again I was impressed by Samuel. He was working the cashier, bagging food, and handing out orders all at once, and still managed to stay fast, organized, and polite. Great energy and efficiency under pressure! read more

Crowded as I've ever seen for a McDonald's. But they try their best. Staff is pleasant unlike back home. Ordering from cashier was quicker than the long line for the self serve kiosks. Nobody realized it. Bathroom stalls very limited - 1 count. read more

Even though I have been to McDonald's before in Canada, a new item had caught my eye: chocolate waffle ice cream cone ($2 CAD). If you know anything about me, I am a huge fan of McDonald's ice cream and an even bigger fan of all waffle cones, so I couldn't help myself when I saw this specialty item. This was the perfect dessert! The thing about McDonald's is that you know what you're getting at any location. In addition, it's a cheap option when you're stuck in a small town surrounded by mountains and trees. Plus, all McDonald's has free wifi which is great for tourists getting around. Note that there are a lot more seating in the back of the restaurant. read more

The place looks great and the staff care about it too. This location is particularly busy and may take a little bit to order food read more

Super busy! There are outdoor tables and inside seating. Good thing as at mealtimes they must use all available table space. Just dropped in for a coffee and proceeding to check out the shops before my hike to Cory Pass. The McDonald's is surprisingly clean but the front door has a sign that says they are experiencing staff shortages and to expect delays. Unfortunately, the thought of paying a living wage is not possible in Banff or is it? The restaurant was clean and all the Kiosks were in use. Staff have no time to engage with customers which is unfortunate. I wonder how long they will be able to hold onto their existing staff. I read more

Thank goodness for this McDonald's because Clock Tower Village Mall just down the block doesn't have a public washroom. So yay washroom! Boo that it's down what felt like a million stairs. Typical McDonalds' that THANKFULLY has normal McDonald's prices. So that means they had $1 coffees when I was here just before Christmas. In Banff, anything for a $1 is miraculous so this McD's gets 4 stars for that alone. It was JAM packed inside - probably busy just based on the frugality of it alone. I'm sure when I'm back in Banff with littles in tow we will be frequenting here :-) read more

I was in town for the Banff Marathon. I ate here a couple of times to save some money. One of the things that I love about McDonald's is that they'll have special regional items. For this region, they had fish and chips. I ordered that for my first visit. On a return visit after the marathon, I ordered the Mighty Angus Burger meal. Both times I ordered using one of their ordering kiosks. It was very convenient as it allowed me to bypass the line. Although it was busy both times, I didn't have to wait too long for me food to come out and I was always able to find a spot to eat my food. The fish and chips weren't very good, but I thought the burger was better than what was available back in the States. read more

McDonald's is always decent for a quick meal with friends. I always come back because it is usually reliable in terms of menu options and familiarity -- useful when travelling around the country. We decided to choose this location to eat our breakfast in. Overall, I would recommend it. This particular location was very nice in terms of design. The front entrance is very appealing, matching the touristy and historic area of Banff while maintaining the McDonald's branding. The interior was a bit dirty but overall, it was quite nice with convenient self-serve terminals on the side. Very efficiently made and on-par in terms of quality. Definitely average but I'll give them credit for not messing any of our orders up. I mean, I don't expect much. They did very good. I felt the service could have been more welcoming and approachable. There was no attempt to greet customers which was very disappointing and something I look for when visiting any store. No complaints, however, it was very efficient. read more

I have this thing about trying McDonald's in every country I go to see what's on their international menu! Have you ever seen a double Big Mac (4 patties!!) and poutine fries at your local California McDonalds?! We just had to try it! They also had a tomato mozzarella chicken sandwich that we tried too. There are multiple digital screens where you place your order and pick up food when your number is called. If you're not comfortable ordering this way you can still go up to the counter and order in person. The food tastes like your average McDonald's. The poutine fries were A-OK with their gravy and cheese curds on top. The chicken sandwich has a tangy sauce in it, kind of like a Big Mac sauce with a zing. We also ordered a Skor McFlurry and Caramel Blonde brownie McFlurry for the ride home. A nice sweet treat for the warm day! read more

By far, this is the cleanest, most modern and efficient McDonald's we've ever seen. We were heading out for a long road trip and decided to get breakfast. Their Egg McMuffins actually look like the nice photos you see in advertisements. The staff behind the counter was full of smiles and got our order right away. When we looked at the contents in the bag, it was nice to see that we actually got what we ordered. Very clean, nice and safe for very early morning breadfast. Highly recommended! read more

Honestly, nothing special. They had foods we can't get in American McDonald's restaurants, or at least that's the word. I tried to order 3 different things, but every one of these items was unavailable. The rest of the food was just alright. They didn't get my order quite right, so that was strike 2... They did; however; have a fireplace in the middle of the restaurant which was kind of nice - even though it wasn't on. The establishment itself was not designed in the smartest of ways, as the line was going clear out the door into the freezing cold. As for the prices: what less can you expect than astronomical? Don't get me wrong, they did have a few deals, but nothing to make me want to go back. Overall, this is just your average McDonald's. read more

The hamburger that I ordered doesn't even have the wrapper.There were no paper given when they pack the food ,also there were no paper anywhere . I tried to call the the workers but none of them were there available, none of them wait there for customers order the food.They also made it very difficult for the customers. The toilet were one floor down with many stairs.If it was a old man sitting in a wheelchair how could he go downstairs.The main resting area were out side and maybe it was a rainy day then you can not sit outside. read more

Repost from my review on Tripadvisor: -------------------------------------------------- Like most mcdonald's it's super crowded during breakfast time and since this is a touristy area, don't expect much seating. Even if there was, it was just waaay too stuffy inside for our liking so we took our food to the outside benches. Although the staffs asked us for our names for the orders, they never called it when the entire order was ready so just be sure to watch your own order. As well, the staffs don't really have a sense to them. I ordered an oatmeal to go with everything on the side and he just handed me the cup with the other 3 bags that go with the oatmeal as well as the spoon. I had to ask him to put it in the bag for me.... read more

LOTS N LOTS of seating. Quick and friendly service. Wheelchair accessible washrooms r on the first floor. The rest of the bathrooms are downstairs. Banff food is very expensive. You will need to take a break and purchase a cheap meal at some point. This is your place. read more

After all the terrible, deep fried and over priced food in town, and I mean, no matter the five star restaurant or some bar food, it was all bad and different versions of bad, and lots of meat, like duck wings, rabbit, elk and bison, McDonalds sounds really appealing. At least you won't feel sick after eating it. In browsing for places to eat in Banff i noticed someone left a review for McDonalds. At first i thought it silly, but now I get it. If you don't want McDonalds, go to Coyotes. A healthier option and very reasonably priced. read more

We were disappointed that staff was not wearing gloves. One staff member was cleaning with broom and then she started making drinks without washing or sanitizing hands . Very poor hygiene especially when we are living in pandemic time read more

My boyfriend and I were shopping around Banff before heading to Lake Louise, and we had to get a quick bite, so we decided to just stop by Mcdonald's. Now, I usually am the type of person to avoid fast food and would never eat at a McDonald's back home in LA. But man, this McDonald's is the cleanest McDonald's I've ever seen! Even the bathrooms were so clean!! They even have a fireplace in the dining area (LOL). Service was quick and the staff behind the counter were always smiling. read more

Mcdonald's are generally fine but this one is terrible. I have been here 3 times during my visit in Banff. First time they forgot to put sausage in my sausage & egg mcmuffin. Second time no cheese in my mctaster mexican and no cucumber in my mctaster thai. Third time only one patty in my extra patty mctaster mexican and no sugar in my double double coffee. read more

This McDonald's is nice and clean but the best part is that it is open late. You will find it packed with people after the clubs start closing up and I mean packed. The lines get pretty long but they keep it well staffed and keep things moving as fast as possible. They have plenty of seating so groups of friend's can sit and eat together. It is also conveniently located right beside Aurora which is one of the more popular night clubs in Banff. Great late night meal. read more

This is the second McDonald's that I have reviewed for this trip because here in the wilderness it's a different kind of expereince. Breakfast can get so expensive in these little towns! For the few days we stayed in Banff, we were able to spend on average $18 for breakfast for three people! And we weren't leaving hungry. I know it's not the healthiest food, but I think they've made a good effort in providing decent options. There's also free WiFi! And they're open 24/7! Good, quick service and a nice dining area. read more

The new manager is awesome here. Very polite and solved my issue over mcchicken sauce. It's free where I'm from. Awesome service. Thanks

This McDonald's has a huge seating area ( in the back, pass the pop machine). Fast cheap as always. Pretty good for budget traveller.
