I don't eat McDonald's really ever, but when I have utilized this location, everything was pretty decent. Yeah, you have to be careful of the sorta confusing entrance and exit of the lot, but you're supposed to read signs anyways. But, this 5 star review is based upon customer service alone. I had a coupon for a McCafe item (B1G1 free). I wasn't aware that it wasn't for this location until I went to give them the coupon.. when I asked if they could void out the order, she said she would honor and give me the free item. She definitely didn't have to, but it was greatly appreciated. Little things mean the most to me, hence 5 stars. read more

Stopped by. Parking looked more difficult but around the corner lots. Nice inside. Had to order twice fish fillet cooked from scratch as they simply try to pre-heat. When served delicious. read more

Get the quarter pounder* or the double quarter pounder* "if you have to have Mac Donald's at this location" as you cannot mess that up. *These are the only items in the menu that are made fresh at any Mac Donald's. On the other hand, DO NOT ask for the chicken nuggets or fries, especially dinner time around 7:30PM. You will get nuggets that look like they were microwaved for about 20 minutes. Dry, dehydrated and bad. Same with fries. HARD on the outside, cold in the inside. As I said before, you'll alright if you order a quarter or a double quarter pounder. Thank me later. read more

Yet again, HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!! I made a mistake of going to order a HOT caramel latte, but instead was given a COLD caramel latte. BUT that was not all, after rejecting the cold drink and being given the corrected hot drink..it was given with curdled milk!! TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!! What does it take to get management to actually make sure that this place is running properly?? Someone needs to inform them to read their reviews and pay attention to how train their employees. read more

I haven't had McDonald's in a while but this Travis Scott meal was on point. Additionally, the staff at this location were very friendly and efficient even tho they were a bit busy with the release of this new meal. If you're gonna go to McDonald's, this isn't a bad one to go to. read more

Ugh this place is so frustrating. The last two times I've gone (once for a Shamrock shake, once for frappe) after waiting in line for a few minutes I'm told that their machine is down. How is that possible? Have gone at least a few weeks apart and I'll give you it's was the evening both times but come on. If you go to the southbound McDonald's you will pay more $ read more

F this place and the other one in East Brunswick. These McDonald's just can't get the orders right. I stopped going because I got tired of my order messed up. One time I was irate and went back to complain and found that the management and staff hardly spoke English! Good grief. For being over 60 some years old, McDonald's still hasn't perfected the art of getting an order right. read more

Honestly I don't know why I keep giving this location a chance to change my mind .. maybe because it's the closest to where I live ... location is key I guess, right? the food is always dry with absolutely no flavor ...I do admit I must give them 1 star for the staff- they're always friendly and the other star is for consistently making bad food. They need to work on the quality. They recently renovated this location so appearance isn't the issue. read more

If I could zero stars I would... horrible system messed up and then refused to refund me because I paid with Apple Pay. Then the fat ginger worker called me broke for wanting my food... worst service in a while anywhere!!! read more

Really this review isn't about this particular McDonald's but McDonald's as a whole. However, the one thing I can say about this location is the fries are never hot and I almost always have to take them back. My review is on the new Hack Menu. I ordered the Surf n' Turf which is a Double Cheeseburger and a Fish Filet combined. It's shown (from bottom up) as a bun, cheeseburger, fish filet, cheeseburger and topped with a bun. Not sure which condiments go on it but that's the basics. What I got was a Double Cheeseburger and a Fish Filet separate and apart. I then had to assemble the sandwich myself which was quite messy since your dealing with ketchup, onions, pickles and tarter sauce. Your also wasting an entire bun. Not sure how it's supposed to be served but if you show it as a complete sandwich, per-assembled in your ads and on the menu-board then it should be served that way. I'm sure the people who originated the hack may have assembled it themselves but now that it's on the menu it should come assembled. Other than sandwich assembly the meal was good and all the condiments melded together nicely. Lastly, it may be McDonald's policy or vision to serve this item pre-assembled but this McDonald's isn't following protocol. I won't be sure until I order it elsewhere. read more

11/21/21 Waited 20 mins in mobile parking for a simple order - burger and fries. Got in drive thru line and waited another 10 mins to get to 2nd window. Called 3x's while in line and no one picks up. Tried talking to girl at the 2nd window but doesn't speak any English other than saying "I don't speak English". The manager walks up and says they gave me my order already!!! They certainly did not give it to me and no one parked next to me in other mobile spot. They finally hand me my food - no apology, no comp, no nothing! 30 mins for a $3 order and I had to fight for it. Avoid this location! read more

Still counting down the days until my son no longer wants to eat McDonald's chicken nuggets. As I've said in my other Mickey D reviews, the McDonald's of today is nothing like the McDonald's I remember as a kid. While I don't doubt that the food quality is, and always has been, atrocious and unhealthy, there was a time when you would at least enjoy the junk you were eating. Not anymore. Now it's just as unsatisfying as it is unhealthy. No wonder their sales are tanking as fresher and better quality fast food options emerge. This McDonald's location is the same one I used to go to as a little boy. It was a rarity among McDonald's in that it didn't have a drive thru. Because it sits on a fairly small parcel of land, the original location chose to maximize its interior space. It was here that I attended many birthday parties in the private party room, which was adjacent to one of the best indoor playgrounds McDonald's ever had. The playground was fully glassed in so that parents eating in the main dining room could still see their kids playing, but didn't have to be on top of them the whole time. And it was a real playground, with real playground rides -- not these ridiculous three-story habitrails that kids get lost in and have to be rescued from. I can also remember this location always being packed with happy families enjoying hot burgers and fries. Those days are long gone, as is the private party room and indoor playground. The current location now has the requisite drive thru, which is where the staff focus all their effort. God forbid you find yourself at this location wanting to dine in. There is never more than one register open, and the line moves at a snail's pace. It's so slow that you get a number and have to go sit down and wait for it to be called. Don't be fooled into thinking they're using this extra time to cook your meal to order. Ha! It just takes them forever to assemble anything here. Slow service, crappy food, dirty tables (one booth's upholstery was literally slashed wide open from a knife cut), and lots of unhappy-looking souls sitting about. Why so many people still choose to patronize this chain is beyond me. (That includes me.) I'm not a guy who's too good to eat fast food from time to time. I can still enjoy the occasional slider at White Castle, a MexiMelt at Taco Bell, or a Croissan'wich at Burger King. But McDonald's just blows. Sorry to be so blunt, but there's no other way to put it. Hopefully corporate reads these reviews so they know how badly they've squandered a once dominant brand. read more

I ordered from this location via Door Dash. They screwed up our entire order. They gave me cheeseburgers instead of McDoubles (in McDouble wrappers) and 1 burger had 2 bun bottoms. They forgot both orders of McNuggets, but remembered the sauce. Also my wife's 2 cheeseburger meal only came with 1 cheeseburger. read more

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad Horrible managed, took 45 mins to get an egg McMuffin because "the didn't serve it after breakfast" even though it's on the menu. Don't go here, go the the Starbucks 100 feet down the road. read more

service is terrible. made me wait 30 mins for 2 mcchickens ... there was no drive thru line. so I don't understand. you expect if to ge fast going through drive thru with a mobile order already placed. made me late to work read more

I wish they had a 0 star option. This McDonalds is the worst I've ever been to. We've given them multiple shots, so it wasn't like it was just one bad experience. The worst was when we ordered two Apple pies and two plain Sunday's (that is ALL!) and waited 15 minutes before finally asking about it only to find out that they forgot our order. Seriously? The only thing simpler would be a glass of water! Then, she tried to give us Sunday's with melted ice cream. When we asked for fresh ones, she only filled them half way. Craziest part of this story? That's the cliff's notes. They were rude and incompetent. I'm shocked they are still in business. read more

This could be the worst McDonalds I've ever been to in my life. It's a shame because it's walking distance from my home. The 2 lane drive through is the worst idea they ever had. Don't EVER use the inner one. You will die of starvation before getting your food. At least in the outside you can drive away when you get fed up. It routinely takes 20 minutes from entering the lot to receiving the food. read more

Went here around 1pm. Drench fries, Big Mac, and McChicken were good. The fries are usually a miss at fast food places around here but I'm glad that the fries turned out great. Drive thru is really efficient. The staff is on top of everything. read more

I will not come back again. I don't drive so my brother and who work at a supermarket has a bad day and thought we'd treat ourselves to McDs and took an Uber. We live down the street so we went inside to order. This is Sat. April 18. There was one man in there and another woman standing off,to,the side. Right away we were getting yelled at to,back,off. 6 ft. The woman I guess a supervisor was waving her hands hysterically telling us "you..stand over there, you move over more etc.," I felt like I was back in Grammar school (stand straight. Eyes front) they has a glass partition, but still 6 ft and has to yell our orders., the gentlemen asked if he can come forward to pay. Everyone has a mask on, and cashier has gloves as well as I. We had to put our money on counter and step away. We were wearing gloves!! I was stressed at work and come here and got more stressed. My brother said he will not come back. They even had a sign that said " it is the law to wear mask AND GLOVES. THE LAW SAID NOTHING ABOUT GLOVES!! FIVE GUYS on 18, East Brunswick. You have to wear a mask, but their was no harassment. And even Sams Club you can go up to pharmacy, they have a shield up, but no harassment, just wear your mask. Reading other reviews. Its true, there is always one thing they forgot or got wrong. And they want $15 an hour! read more

McDonald's - This is wrong. The law said nothing about gloves. - Burgers Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

DO NOT order delivery from this location. Your order is not a priority and they don't value your business. This place is in bad need of strong management. Orders are wrong, wait times are long, attitudes are terrible. Soooo bad read more

There food sucks and it smells and there is bugs there and there food is soggy and they are trying to poison you

I would not have given even 1 star. The crew is very rude after making you wait for 25-30 minutes to take your order!

these have to be the dumbest people in East Brunswick, NJ. They get the order wrong 8 out of 10 times. I have a SEVERE dairy allergy and cannot have cheese. I ask for a hamburger and get a cheeseburger almost every time. Tonight I ordered a double hamburger no pickles and a large coke no ice. When I arrived at the window the girl handed me a bag and said to me, cheeseburger and small fries, I said no, she looked bewildered. I repeated double hamburger no pickles and large coke no ice. Next, she handed me a coke filled with ice. I don't pay for ice, so I handed it back and repeated large coke no ice again. She gave me a new coke and handed me a bag and said to me, double hamburger, no onions. REALLY? How hard is this, double hamburger, no pickles? I repeated to her AGAIN! Double hamburger no pickles. She went back again and brought the bag and I asked her if it was a double hamburger with no pickles. She said yes. I pulled around to the other side to check because they are intolerably stupid and I checked. God help me. It was a double cheeseburger with extra cheese. I went back and opened it up and dropped it on the counter in front of the manager who barely speaks English. She just stared at me and I asked are you looking at me because you just want to give me my money back and she replied fine and went to the register. She is a real problem. Read reviews on Google to and you will see, she is the problem. When I said they get it wrong every time, she said the other customers, Oh look, it's mister perfect he doesn't make mistakes. To which I replied, I make mistakes, just not the exact same one six times in a row. If McDonald's doesn't do something about this franchise I will. read more

If I could I post a negative 1 review I would. Went late night and they said cash only which I had cash only and the they told the lady our first order she then reintegrated "cash only" I said ok! She then gave a man the drive thru phone which he told me "cash only" which I agreed at the beginning. Then I ordered and was told breakfast only. Ok? And then I'm ordering food and threatened with the cops? Ok AND? Ridiculous read more

Can you please add condiments and utensils for my orders? It's been missing numbers of times. It will be extra consuming for me and yours if I have to check my bags every time at the drive-thru. read more

Open 24 hrs , the staff will vary. During lunch into dinner time the staff couldn't be better. The manager will do whatever to make someone happy, that's rather good thing. Def can't complain however. Plus the place is REALLY clean! read more

I ordered two LARGE Sprite drinks, no ice. The person who took my order asked me if I'd mind taking two medium because they ran out of large cups! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!?? This is poor management. Someone please tell me how the hell a large franchise literally run out of cups!!!?? read more

I stopped at this McDonald's for breakfast over the weekend. I went through the drive though, so I can verify what my order was on the computer. I ordered 1 small OJ and an Egg McMuffin without Canadian Bacon. I got 1 small OJ and 2 Egg McMuffins with no cheese and sausage. Gross. I ate half of one and threw them both out. Fail. read more

i love this mcdonald's their ice cream machine is always working. the lady with the blue hair was so incredibly sweet to me in drive thru and gave me two extra cookies after i told her i was having a bad night. thank you lady w blue hair!! you make me love this establishment read more

Probably the worst McDonald's I've ever been to. Received two cheeseburgers with slices of cheese NOT melted. That was AFTER they asked me to go from the drive thru line to park my car and wait. Fries are usually hit or miss with either being hot or freezing cold. read more

A joke for dinner. They were out of large cups so I switched to a medium. I suppose they could have offered to still give me a large fry but they did not. My medium fries, could not even fill a small. I'd be giving them credit if I said it was even half full. And the medium drink...not even full. I'm lucky the 10 nuggets were counted right. Thank goodness I have a microwave to heat up this Mediocre food. Probably could have had a better hot pocket. read more

Would have given 0. Waited 35 minutes for 2 happy meals. No apology, and didn't even come up with the food until I demanded my money back. It was a Saturday at 1:30 in the afternoon and they couldn't keep up with the orders. The manager ignored all the customers and said several times "we are making the food, what do you want me to do". While I don't have the highest expectations from McDonalds, I honestly expected more than that. read more

If you're going to order food there you better eat it right away because by time you walk out to your car the food is cold. 3/4 of the staff does not even speak English so when you ask a question they look at your turn around and ask someone else to help him. Where the hell is the manager. I will not be going there again. read more

Unbelievable experience. Went there on 6/18/18 at noon and they only had one cashier on duty. After waiting almost 1/2 hour on line, I ordered just a cup of coffee and an apple pie. I then had to wait another 10-15 minutes for the order to be assembled. I tried to complain to the manager, but he kept pretending not to see or hear me and the other enraged customers trying to speak with him. It would be nice if the staff there at least pretended to care. There's plenty of other places on Rt. 18; don't waste your time or money here. read more
