This McDonald's is hands down the worst McDonald's in the city of Edmonton to put things lightly. My experience has been horrible EVERY time I have went which is super frustrating as it's the McDonald's close to my house and it's not just me that feels this way - all my friends/family have passed along the same complaints.
Every time I've went to this McDonald's I've waited at least 20 minutes for my food regardless of whether I go inside or go through the drive-thru and regardless of how many people there are. One time there was only ONE person ahead of me in the drive-thru and I waited for 25 minutes! If it was just one time it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's every time and it's so frustrating... I honestly don't know why they are so slow. Every other McDonald's I go to pretty much has my food hanging out the window for me by the time I get to the window.
And it's not just the slow service, they mess up my order every time. I also ask for extra sweet & sour sauce when I go because they always forget my sweet & sour sauce entirely so I figure if I ask for extra than it will remind them to put at least one in, but no - every time I order chicken nuggets through the drive-thru I get home and it's not in there. Also, my boyfriend always orders around 4-5 burgers when we go through the drive thru and they always forget at least one... and if you're lucky enough to realize before you get home than you either have to A) go back through the drive thru and wait another 25 minutes or B) go inside and still wait 15 minutes when you've already waited 20 minutes. The other thing that is super frustrating is they have those self serve kiosks inside and I usually go to use one because their counter service is slow hoping the self serve will be faster. However, EVERY time I use it and complete my order it gives me some error message saying my order cannot be completed and please proceed to front counter for assistance. So than I just wasted 5 minutes inputting my entire order into this machine to just have to go get in line and wait another 20 minutes to be helped.
Every time this happens, we try to call the McDonald's ask to speak with management, but every time we dial the # it rings and then someone picks up and hangs up on us immediately. This is beyond frustrating as this happens every time and it's the only McDonald's close to our house so we continue to go there expecting better outcomes, but are always disappointed. We've started driving to the McDonald's on Stony Plain Road by the Wal-Mart which is a 10 minute longer drive and we still get our stuff and get home faster than going to the McDonald's which is right by our house!
I've read through the others users reviews and they are all the same, all listing the same complaints of how slow they are and how frequently they mess up orders so I don't understand why any changes haven't been made. read more
