This restaurant is a block south of East Utica on Main Street. You can take #8 and #12 bus or Metro Rail Utica Station to get here. There is ample parking and a two-lane drive-through. Remodeled a few years ago, the surroundings still look pretty good. I ate inside, but most orders were drive-through and door-dash during my visit. I scored a Big Mac for just $2 in the McDonald's app. My order was placed at the inside kiosk where I like to customize my burger a bit. No salt. Add tomatoes. No salt on the fries. My order was prepared exactly as ordered. The burger was hot, the roll was fresh, and the fries were perfect. The person who handed my order to me had a nice smile, which was appreciated. They did everything right. read more

McDonald's - Customized order. I added tomatoes to my Big Mac (moved the bun a bit so you can see them) - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

While this McDonald's is listed as a 24/7 operation, it is in fact, a 23/7 operation. This is due to the fact that from the hours of 4-5am, all employees vacate the restaurant to hang out in parking lot and smoke substances. While we did not get food due to this, I am giving it four stars, because the worker camaraderie seems high, and how good can a single McDonald's be anyway? It was actually pretty fun because as we pulled out they did yell something at us in a foreign language which improved the experience. read more

Im doing this for the kcl door dash! Whoever the girl was specifically with a shout out to her crew all deserves a raise! Their service and how long the line was when the order was placed moved in a timely manner of fashion! EfficientlyThe patience was efficient as well! Keep up the hard work to this night shift team because they definitely represented and put on for McDonald's tonight! My wife door dashed it, for safety precaution im just tagging along! read more

Horrible, this place took 30 minutes to just get a burger and fries ready! The place is good, but the wait is horrible! Don't go here

Came here Sunday morning at the drive through. Was too cold to get out the car or I would've gone in. They were out of orange juice which I never heard of before. Asked for sweat tea and they were out of that as well. That was a first in all my years of going to McDonald's. Then when I waited for my food, the lady opens the window saying nothing and hands me my order. Never will I ever return and I used to come here for years when I'm in town. read more

It was the worst experience, I went to the drive thru, and I waited over 20 minutes, there was only 1 car ahead of me, the wait was so long that people got out of line and drove off, finally I got to the intercom and waited again, there was no, "I'll be with you in a minute", the the girl finally came on, and I asked her can you put up the screen so I can see what I want? Her response was "I have no control over it"Duh, maybe if you close out the previous order it will come up, which is what happened. I placed my order and she said pull around, didn't tell me what window, so I sat at the wrong window until someone told me it's the next window, no sorry for the wait, no thank you, just overall a bad experience, but the food was hot read more

McDonald's - Exceptionally long wait - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I used to love this place and specifically this location. I went today and ordered a Minecraft meal (Big Mac, large fry, collectors item, and large drink), I also ordered 6 pies (3 apple, 3 strawberries and cream). I then paid the 24$ in cash and got no receipt (I didn't notice until I had gotten home), and I got no collectors item from the Big Mac meal and it also wasn't in the fun box... why did I pay the extra 3$ for just a Big Mac and fries? I then also only got a medium drink and only 5 pies. Like if you don't have something tell the customer.... The employee taking my order should've communicated better... like I get it's fast food and McDonald's but like this is so inconvenient read more

I always use to stop at the restaurant, I'm now 76, and on social security,so money is tight.I use to get the sausage biscuit, yummy , and I loved the fish sandwich also.over the past year I went to 5 different places and ordered a cheeseburger and all of them were bad.a cool burger and a slice of cheese, not melted,or hot.I have finally stopped going to McDonald's.I remember when they were 15 cents and GOOD, sorry, thumbs down for you now..

Bad service & I had to Waite for an 30 min for food I really don't want to go any more read more

Dumb ass, kids working the drive-through. I ordered unsweet iced tea. They tell me drive up to the second window, 10 minute line only to be told they don't have the ice tea. Why would you do that to someone? read more

Hands down the worst McDonald's in the Buffalo area. I should know better than to go here, but I was close, it wasn't the height of the dinner rush, there were only two cars in front of me, so I figured it would be fine. 20 minutes later, only one car had placed an order, two cars who had gotten in line behind me had already left, and I decided to cut my losses and head over to the Virginia Street location, where - with the same sized line - I had my order taken in less than a minute, and was on my way home in less than 5. I have to say, the issue must be at the ownership level. This location has been terrible for 15 years. At a certain point, you can't blame it on the employees. read more

Waited in line for over 30 minutes for two double cheeseburgers, fries and a drink. This is a fast food restaurant and this wait time is ridiculous. I've never experienced this at any other McDonald's. read more

Quick in and out for coffee. Not bad... don't think I'll frequent this place though, hard to park a bus

Literally only ordered a McDouble, they charge me for it then give me a regular cheeseburger in a McDouble wrapper wtf is wrong with the workers at this location, wait times are horrible and orders are never correct. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Ordered two large meals, they gave us two medium drinks, one with no ice. Ordered nuggets, never got the sauce. Ordered a double quarter pounder... it turned out to be one quarter pounder. On top of that... it took forever. AVOID THIS MCDONALDS AT ALL COST. It wouldn't surprise me if I ingested their spit in my meal too... read more

I was blown away by professionalism exhibited by nice young man with green hair. Food was spot on and coffee hot. Opened promptly at 6 as well! read more

An absolute joke, pull up to the drive through, they told me to wait a sec so I didn't, waited 15 minutes so then I drove up to the window and the woman is sitting there on her phone and absolute embarrassment of a restaurant read more

What is wrong with this location? Did corporate forget its existence? Did they lock the manager in the freezer? Do the employees just show up and go f-it, not only am I not going to try, I'm gonna actively provide a negative experience instead. In my month in Buffalo I've ordered from this location three times and they mess up the order every time!!!! How's this for some advice? You READ the receipt, you ASSEMBLE the food, and you PUT it in the bag! It's not rocket science. I swear, bunch of ding dongs working here. read more

McDonald's - Front counter, employees - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I normally like to give every place a shot and I wish I wouldn't of wasted my time with this place. Waited way too long just to give my order. I also had to wait a very long time for my food. The food was inedible. The fry's tasted old and spoiled and the hamburgers were basically just paper weights. What is the point of having a McDonald's franchise if you aren't going to properly train your staff? read more

This is the worst McDonalds ever. I've been across the country twice and dealt with a lot of crappy places but 30 mins wait for a meal is insane. I don't recommend this place if you are traveling. I honestly don't recommend this place ever. Worst service ever. Fuck this place. 08/May/2022 read more

I usually like Macdonald's, but the fries, we're cold these people do not care about their serving cold fries, the chicken sandwich was good, but I rather go to buyer king their fries are hot read more

This particular McDonald's is unapologetically understaffed, slow, and that's concerned about the quality of the food... I would never make this judgment based on a single experience, I keep on trying to prove myself wrong however it appears that I am right... It is slightly worse than the McDonald's on West Ferry read more

Ah, it's that time of the year for my fast food purge. So last night marked my one time a year I allow myself to eat at a McDonald's and let me tell you, I was left pretty satisfied. I came here last night and the place was pretty empty which meant we didn't have much of a wait for our food. The employee working was fast to take our order and fast to get it together also. I decided to order some chicken nuggets, french fries, and a Big Mac (Yes, I'm aware this is a lot of food but it takes a lot for a chubby guy like me to only eat here once a year). Everything we ordered was hot and tasted just like it should at a McDonalds. Overall, the food was good (again, for McDonalds), the service was fast and friendly, and I was left with just as much disappointment in myself for eating it as I expected. Solid McDonalds in my book! read more

McDonald's - The ultimate sin. - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

It's important to understand you're eating at a place at McDonald's so it's a going to be lower quality. Despite that I ordered $30 worth of food and I wasn't given 20 nuggets that I ordered or even the sauces that they charged me for. I'm not sure how the bar can be set so low and still get disappointed read more

In a city full of *without equal* the worst McDonalds service I've ever encountered across the country this one stands out for its chaos, it's slowness, it's incorrect orders (extra cheese not applied no remediation or refund available, drinks ordered NEVER served approaching an hour later, etc) and sheer awfulness. Yes they are woefully short of help. This exceeds that problem. This McDs is dysfunctional. read more

This McDonald's could very well be the worst McDonald's in New York State. I have been to this location multiple times and try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they just don't check any of the boxes. "Fast"Food - no matter the time of day , be it 9:00am or 9:00pm, this location always has significant wait times. Always a backup in the drive through which ultimately leads many folks to leave the line and go else where (not a bad idea) Friendliness -not so much. No one expecting a huge smile or extreme enthusiasm, but it often feels as if you are inconveniencing their day. It's uncomfortable Quality of food - the reason for the 1 star. I've never had a problem with an order, and is what you would expect from them (which I enjoy) Location - the location can be convenient for the sake of being on Main Street as you're driving through, however, you definitely will not feel overly comfortable. Overall - if you can avoid this McDonald's location, I definitely would. There is a Burger King a couple doors down as well as a Wendy's down the street. But if you're craving that Big Mac & don't mind the inconvenience of this location, I wouldn't blame you (I'll do almost anything for some Micky D's) read more

I normally just go inside and speak to the manager. But this time, I figured I'd do both. Review and speak to the manager. I went to the drive through yesterday, at 8am, to get an orange juice and a coffee. Now, I never purchased an orange juice before from any McDonald's. I get to the window after hearing the price ($2.99), thinking it better be a large. What I saw looked like a 4oz and i kindly, told the young lady I didn't want the juice, but I'll keep the coffee. She rolled her eyes, and very condescending ly said to me, "You don't want it", I replied "No ma'am, its smaller than I thought." She shut the window, called someone over to void it out and gave me my money back differently, than how I gave it to her. I had given her 5 singles, for an order tbat came to $4.55. She handed me 2 singles and all the rest in nickles, dimes and pennies. Lol. I saud thank you after counting it, and she saud nothing. That experience was uncalled for. I call her #MsPetty. She should've just gave me my change, said thank you and not roll her eyes as she repeated that I didn't want the juice, as if she squeezed the oranges herself. read more

Went to the drive-thru to order an iced coffee. Had to wait 5 mins just to place an order. The cashier forgot to put the speaker on mute and she made a call... I could hear the whole conversation and I even tried to tell her the whole way through. After making my iced coffee order, I had to wait another 5 mins just to pay and then get my drink. Luckily, I tasted it before I left because it was absolutely horrible. I asked her to make a new one with was a bit better. I was the only one in line. read more

I'll give 2 stars because they have never gotten my order wrong. However, if I'm stopping at McDonald's, you better believe it's after midnight. I sort-of heard them explain the late-night limitations on the menu to the car before me, but apparently needed them repeated. I think this could be better labeled if not for the customer's sake, but also so that the employees don't have to explain it all night. That being said, we are functioning with a limited menu at this hour which is all the more reason why I should never have to spend 15-20 minutes behind 3 cars in the drive-thru line at a FAST food establishment. But I guess that's what I deserve. See my shameful morning after pic. :( read more

McDonald's - the inside of a box of food - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

My friend and I were in the neighborhood and had an extra half hour so we decided to stop here. This location is getting two stars. The cashier was friendly. We went inside to order and the wait was terrible. They were only taking two orders at a time, making and serving those orders, and then on to the next two orders. The drive thru was moving much faster. I ordered a Big Mac and nuggets. The nuggets were consistent with any other time I've had nuggets. I think they're the best thing on the menu. The Big Mac wasn't good. It tasted like there was no burger in there. I don't remember ever disliking it so much. If you're looking for anything else in the restaurant after you've ordered, you're only going to find napkins. No ketchup unless (I assume) you ask for it at the counter. I wasn't expecting much on this visit but I also didn't expect so little. read more

The wait was at least 10 minutes in the drive-thru and the employee was extremely nasty to my cousin whose from England, simply because my cousin asked for no lettuce on the cheeseburger. One of the drinks was wrong; the cups were only 2/3rd full, not to mention the stale burger. The only decent thing in the whole order was my cookie. read more

The worst McDonald's I've ever been to. Waited in line for 15 minutes just to find a missing fry, sauces and no toppings on my sandwich. Driest sandwich I've ever had. We were charged for the wrong order initially. Customer service was absolutely awful too. Update: soda was bad too idk how they messed that up read more

Unorganized, and disrespectful and the attitudes I mean I guess I'll be pissed off if I was working at McDonald's too but at least give me a napkin. smh read more

Waited 40 minutes (I kid u not) in the drive thru to make a French fry and burger order. Everyone else in the line ahead was ignored by the person on the mike, and they were not placing big orders at all as well. Even though I waited 40 minutes for a line of only 5-6 cars, there were at least 2/6 cars that left from in front of me because they were done waiting, so probably would've been more up to an hour wait if they would have stayed. read more

Long wait and arguing with customers. Good wasn't even hot when it came out. Staff cursed out customer

There is a time that a man needs a nice, hot, juicy, cheap burger that resonates thorough his very soul. Reminds him of kindergarten, summer camp, junior high. college and last month. Of being very broke, or very drunk or very hungover, or very very hungry or sad or elated... after the game, or the interview, or the date or the very very nice dinner at some Elmwood hot-spot that served you 6 oz of food for $60...drop off the date and eat something for Gods sake!! I'm an old guy, but Micky D's is older. And I come to expect a consistency that is the hallmark, from the damn zenith of all fast food restaurants It is the ability to train employees in a simple yet essential model of procedure, and to provide consistent raw materials ( to the point t of buying up potato farms and owning beef ranches) that makes this possible. I have eaten at the clown in Austria, France, and UK, and the stuff tastes pretty much the same. An intense program at " hamburger U" trains each manager... And each and every owner. Franchises are golden, and ( like NYC cab medallions) are highly sought after. The McDonalds franchise club takes millions to get in, but practically guarantees a license to print money - to the extent that any restaurant can...it is a sure thing. UNLESS YOU FUCK IT UP!!!!!!!!!! Enter this joke of a restaurant's on Main. Got back from Costa Rica...just wanted a burger. I went to the filthy rest room before I ordered, In there I watched the older manager wash his hands and then wiped them on his pants as he left because the dryers were broken...nice! I ordered some 1/3 lb special. I saw the dude in the kitchen changing the bun on a Burger... I soon realized it was mine. Hard cold meat with cheese melted into it, dissolving into it also.. this was a burger that should have been wasted 3 hours ago, but they decided it was ok so serve it..just change the bun!, so a fresh bun and away it went. I ate this crap at a filthy table while employees talked together... watched me clean my own table...complained about the work they had ( not!!) done to the adult manager shill. The second time I visted was a drive by ( through) visit ( lol). Got some cheap value menu stuff that I was sure would be fresh...nope. Stale buns, hard cold meat with cheese sort of translucently melted into it again. Gross... tossed this crap out before I drove home. So - you pay millions to own a clown, and you can make money just by being there. Screw the customers.... Done! read more

Stopped into Mickey D's for a hot fudge sundae at 10pm. Drive-thru. It was only 2/3 the size of one of their normal sundaes and the 'hot fudge' was actually chocolate sauce. Karma. I have no business eating something like this. It's been a cheat week and I've been going ALL OUT. Not gonna lie, it hit the spot! Please tell me that no person in their right mind would search on Yelp for a review of McDonalds. Seriously. read more

Alright, so a couple of years ago, this McDonald's stole my friend's credit card when we went through the drive-through. He pulled away when they gave us the food, but realized that he hadn't been given his credit card back moments later, so he pulled back around and asked for it. The employee denied having it, so Chris had to cancel his card. His bank told him that shortly after the charge at McDonald's, a purchase was made at the store across the street. We still regularly attend, so it must be that good. read more

Yes, I know it's McDonald's but this is by the far the WORST location in North America and maybe even the world!! The food was ice cold, why? Because they used frozen lettuce. This place isn't managed well at all. Even with a empty restaurant you still have to wait for the food, a good 10 minutes and then it comes out with frozen lettuce, with ice all over it? I don't understand... How can this location be so hopeless? Not to mention all the bums that will come and ask you for money while you are trying to eat. read more

Literally no one ordering inside and sat in the drive-through for over an half hour. Not the first time either. Person taking orders was rude and snobby. Would not recommend at all. Sad that it was this slow at 1:20am. Can't imagine how it would be during the day.. read more
