    Bacon egg and cheese hash brown with plenty of napkins for the flight!

    This McDonald's in the A terminal delivers in a clutch situation! They have efficient cashiers working 2-3 registers at once and their back of the house delivers that precise McD food that you're expecting when you're rushing to your flight with no other option. Environment is efficient and clean, no frills, but who needs that when you're going to be stuffed into a metal tube anyway!

    Egg & Cheese McGriddle Meal (~$8) with hash brown and Orange Juice (+~$1) & Caramel Frappe (~$4).
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Egg & Cheese McGriddle Meal (~$8): with hash brown and Orange Juice (+~$1). Caramel Frappe (~$4): no whipped cream. Aya's take: I wanted to grab some breakfast before my flight and McDonald's looked like the quickest option. I'm not sure why there's no McGriddle option without meat. It typically comes with bacon but I opted to remove it. I like the sweetness from the McGriddle with the savoriness from the egg and cheese. That, paired with the crispiness and saltiness of the hash brown, it actually hits the spot. The Orange Juice was great but the Caramel Frappe (I had asked for a Caramel Latte) was not what I wanted. It was too icy and overly sweet. After a few sips, I just threw it out. I didn't have enough time before my flight to go ask for my correct drink. Despite this, the meal carried me through my flight and despite being busy, they are quick with cranking out orders.

    Airport fare is always expensive and sometimes it's not good. Because it was breakfast, we decided McDonald's because I do like their hash browns. Ordered a sausage McMuffin with egg meal with orange juice and hash browns. It was early so when she asked what I wanted to drink I said 'nothing' until I realized it came with my meal. Apologized to the server and we laughed at my half awake state. Got my receipt with my order number and waited at the side. They were busy but they moved the orders along fairly quickly so it was nice. Heard my number and picked up my meal. Headed back to the gate to eat it. Hadn't had McDonald's in a while. The hash browns were delicious ! Orange juice a good wake me up of sugar. The McMuffin just nice to fill me up but not make me feel like I over ate. More expensive than a regular McDonald's but that's par for the course at the airport.

    Receipt not worth $13

    Go someplace else where you can get fresh food. I wouldn't recommend this airport McDonalds. Food did not come fresh and my chicken sandwich was dry and burned.

    Steaming Garbage there isn't one thing this McDonald's did right! I paid for a large smoothie and they gave me a large orange juice and refused to refund me! This one is a scam steer clear folks!!!

    Beverage selections

    While frequent travelers expect to pay more for everyday items while traveling, it still wrong to post prices on menu boards which are simply false. The menu boards at the DIA McDonalds locations advertise $1 any size drinks. However, a large Coke actually costs $2.94 which is not posted anywhere. When I asked about this, the rude person screaming out order numbers simply said, the board is wrong. McDonald's makes so much money at these airport locations due to having a captured audience, they simply don't care about customer service, or even having correct pricing.

    Pick your drink! These sat here for a long time.

    For real though? Okay, so it was not awful. We had a flight delay...womp womp...and fries sounded like just the right treat at the moment. There were a lot of people waiting for their food, but there was some commotion going on in the back of McD's. It appeared that an employee was stopping by mid-shift. There was a lot of laughing, and hugging going on in the kitchen. One employee was wearing a ski cap with a ball on top. I didn't know that was allowed, but okay. So we asked for 'hot fries'. We really needed some hot fries, not cold and limp. The cashier looked at us, and then looked over to the fryer where about 8 large containers of fries were all ready to go. So we just decided to take our chances, as we could always bring them back...right? We moved over to wait with all of the other people and noticed all of the drinks sitting on the counter ready to go. There were a lot, and some were coffee. Isn't coffee supposed to be hot? Not sure how long all of these drinks had been sitting on the counter. We saw a few people get their orders of food, and they picked out their sodas from this grouping of drinks. One girl was mopping the floor, and then put that aside and grabbed bags of food that were ready to go. She dug through them to make sure everything was inside, and then handed them to waiting customers. Eww. At least the food was wrapped up. Anyway, we got our fries, tried one out and they were alright. Warm, but not right out of the fryer hot...obviously. This place could be so efficient, as they had so many employees working, but the management here is lacking big time. But we are stuck here and have no choice, so what do they really care. Such a shame.

    A sad looking Quarter Pounder with cheese

    I had a late night connecting flight to catch here and picked up a Quarter Pounder with cheese from their limited late night menu. I know McDonald's is just a fast food restaurant so I shouldn't expect a high end burger, but man, that burger was pretty pathetic looking. I wonder how long it was sitting out. On top of that, I had to pay full price because this location didn't accept any of the deals on the McDonald's mobile app.

    I had a very early flight in the "A" terminal in the DEN airport and noticed that although McDonalds was not the first place to open for breakfast, it was the most popular there. People started lining up at 4:45am when the place didn't open until 5:30am. Luckily for me I saw the line starting and I got in before it grew to half way past the middle of the terminal. This was just McDonalds, not the hottest new roller coaster. I just kept thinking about why so many people would chose to get in the long line instead of going to one of the other nearby places with shorter lines to get breakfast? Did this one sprinkle crack onto their egg mcmuffins? I tested that theory and can confirm that there was no crack in their egg mcmuffins. Everything was just your average typical McDonalds food. Predictably average and fast.

Saw that there was one on the path to the Denver airport. I could gas up the rental car and get some chow before entering the land of over priced airport food. Look the service was fine and the food was ok. But there was nothing special about the chicken fingers or the fries, or the sauce for that matter. The tenders were lacking in any real flavor on their own. They need some spice. Same with the crinkle fries. As a delivery mechanism for the Outback Bloomin Onion style sauce thats about all you could say for the main dish and side. But I didn't even use all the sauce, so paying extra for more is right out. I found it interesting that you need to ask at the counter, and get a code, to use the restroom. It looked like a nice enough area, but obviously there must be a reason for it. We're due to get some of these restaurants near me, but I don't have any reason to go back. Chick-Fil-A, KFC, Popeyes, or Savvy Sliders all offer vastly better product.

Well, I'm afraid that applies to Smashburger as well. Look, I know that a smashburger by its nature is supposed to be thin. I also know that prices at the airport are wince-inducing by nature. But this sadly is the extent of my excuses for this place. I'll give one star for the decent service and the Arnold Palmer. But as to the rest? Ehh...it's a crowded, chaotic mess inside (again, it's the airport) but there's no reason for a stale bun, fries as hard as glass, and a burger patty that's paper thin. What's more, I got the DOUBLE! I'm not a burger snob. Heck, I had high hopes getting the double western-style cheeseburger. But with the dry bun, drier non-existent patty, and hard fries, I can't give this any more than a single star. Congrats, Smashburger. You've officially earned the 'Worst Burger Ever' award in my book. This place scores a 1 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good.
