As you can see from my previous reviews, my opinion has changed. I'm not sure what changes were made, but now this McDonald's has the best service of any McDonald's I have visited. They are always fully staffed with employees that have been there for a long time. The employees are always friendly and the food is consistently fresh, especially breakfast. Kudos to whoever is managing this location. Awesome improvement! read more

Yelp! Craving a Mickey D's cheeseburger. Got that 2 cheeseburger meal. I got it quick and hot with a side of delicious fries. Smell good, well taste funny like y'all put salt on it. Lawd, stuff always taste funny when you want it too bad. Service good and quick. Y'all already know, I'll be back. read more

Really nice and clean McDonald's even in the bathroom. Food was great and service was as well.

We came here to grab breakfast on a Sunday morning. Only because Waffle House was packed. Drive thru was crowded but moved quickly. The cashier was cordial. Our order was correct and fresh. It's kind of confusing as to entering and exiting the parking lot. I do like the renovated look of this location. read more

This location should be closed!!! Half the time; don't have what you order!!! When going through drive-thru, better check before leaving; never right. And the persons supposedly working...(lol). Working... read more

I went by there tonight for croc toys. Since every other McDonald's I've been to, I've gotten them for free. Then I was told I had to pay for the toys which I was fine with that, and then they came back and told me I had to purchase a happy meal for each toy and when I told them that's not the policy she. Refused to give me any service. She was rude with me, the shift manager Shay. She refused to give me the general manager's number or name. People like that should not be in management. They really Should consider firing her and hire someone who knows how to deal with the public without being rude and ugly... I don't buy food from there bc evey time I do it's gross. Cold or the order is wrong.. I will be filling a formal complaint with corporate as well... read more

I decided to try this location again and WOW I can't believe it's even worse than before. What a bunch of absolute idiots! They 100% do not care about the customer. I left without my order... extremely frustrating experience. NEVER AGAIN! read more

I ordered doordash through here and this is what I receive. cold food with a Big Mac when I ordered a chicken sandwich and fries in a breakfast bowl. wouldn't have even been mad if they contacted and told my dasher they were out of these things but they didn't they put it in and sealed the bag so we'd only see after we've received our purchase. I called 10 times literally and not once did they pick up the phone. I've had several problems with this location one being they gave me RAW MEAT. WOULDNT RECOMMEND TO NOBODY. AND I HAVE CONTACTES CORPORAT. THE OWNER NEEDS TO DO A SWEEP AND FIRR EVERYBODY. read more

The boy at the window was so unbelievably rude to me and my nephew. I think that he may have been high from the way he smelled. He handed me my happy meal and I had to remind him it came with a drink, he seemed pretty upset that I wanted the drink that I payed for because he didn't put any ice in the cup and filled it up 1/4 of the way. Will NOT be coming back here! read more

The manager on duty, today at 5:05pm central time is a wise wonderful awesome young Man. He derailed a very heated situation and did so in a most customer driven drive Manner. I know he's younger than I and I'm so very impressed on his actions to defuse a potentially awful situation. Review is ON THE MANAGER ONLY .. read more

McDonald's - Ode to a Caramel Frappe - Burgers Near Me - Gardendale, Alabama

On February 17, 2022 at 5:00 I was in the drive thru line and a tornado siren sounded. My phone gave a weather alert Tornado in Gardendale. I parked my car and tried to seek shelter in the building. They would not let me in. I was left out in the elements terrified. I got up against the building scared to death. The people that work at the Gardendale McDonald's are so hateful. They laughed because I was out with the tornado. I will never go back up there even though I live in Gardendale. I will drive to Fultondale. Do not go there read more

Stopped by McDonald's in Gardendale this morning . Nobody at register however everybody in back having a party. An employee saw us at register and ignored me. Ask if anyone could take our order was informed she was making coffee. VERY RUDE! I left and will NOT return. read more

Worst McDonalds. Really annoying because this area has a lot of great places for a quick bite. They are slow, and if you need an early breakfast just go somewhere else. I pulled away after sitting in the drive thru, trying to get some service. read more

Best public bathroom ever would recommend but they should clean up the dead rats read more

McDonald's - a red hot dog in the middle of the street - Burgers Near Me - Gardendale, Alabama

I asked for Diet Coke and a Dr Pepper but I got both Dr Pepper but they wouldn't take the one back they were very nice and gave me no picie

I drove thru drive through at 7:27 pm. I ordered 20 pc chicken nuggets and requested it be cooked fresh. I was retold to drive up to payment window. I did so abd requested again that they be cooked fresh. I knew it would take at least 9 or 10 minutes. I was told to drive up to next window. They immediately handed me a sack , I said I wanted them freshly cooked. The employee turned to another employee inside further and that employee said they are freshly cooked. I said I know that it takes atleast 9 or 10 minutes to cook fresh nuggets. She said you want me to cook them again. Owindiw employee saud she'd get them cooked fresh and bring them out to me. 7:40 to 7:55 I waited in parking space . Finally a 3rd employee came out and had a sack of large French fries. I told her no, I was waiting on a fresh cook 20 pc chicken nuggets. She left and returned with a sack w/ a 20 pc chicken nuggets box. I drove home and found when I got home. The box only contained 13 chicken nuggets. I decided to drive back in the morning and speak to manager and request a refund. I am going to give her the 13 pc nuggets and 3 packs dipping sauce back. read more

Just recently went through McDonald's ordered two hash browns a sausage biscuit a sausage Mac griddle and two HOT caramel mocha's when we get to the window not only was service crappy they forgot our sausage biscuit and gave us ice coffees and the sandwiches were cold as well definitely wouldn't recommend this McDonald's even if it is the only thing close with breakfast read more

This location is consistently an issue, but last night was the last straw. I went through the drive through to order one 6 piece happy meal with extra fries, a coke to drink and no dipping sauce. The lady who took my order interrupted me four times, and I finally asked that she stop interrupting me, I could repeat my order. She told me to drive around. I asked for my total (as the screen was not properly functioning) and she told me 4.40 and then she called me a bitch. I sat in the drive through line for at least 10 minutes. When I got to the first window to pay, there was no one there, so I drove to the second window. I sat at the second window for ANOTHER 10 minutes, three women came to my window and told me that they could not take my card - I offered cash and then they told me they did not have any chicken nuggets cooked. I was upset at this point and asked why they didn't just tell me when I originally made my order. She called me a bitch again as I drove away. I went to the Fultondale location and had a completely pleasant experience. read more

We went to the drive thru almost a hour before closing and kept waiting and drove around the building 2xs we waited about 40 minutes and no one would take our order as there were clearly people inside they was also another car behind us that left. read more

This is one of the worst MCD's I have been in. It should be closed down. Don't expect too much. Long wait. Plenty of employees doing very little while the whole place is filthy. Wrong order. Poor poor management. I wouldn't even call it management. If they by chance make any profit the way it is operating; they would have the potential to be a contender in Gardendale with the right employees . As is, it should be closed. Call the so called management and complain. That may be the only way it could get better. Don't put up with way below average. There are other choices. read more

One word for this place. Awful. I know it's McDonald's, and you shouldn't expect much. But this place is just awful. The bathrooms and really the whole store is disgusting. The workers were loud and obnoxious. They really were more concerned about talking to each other. I stood there waiting for about 3 minutes without them even noticing me. I just walked out. DO NOT GO TO THIS MCDONALDS. read more

This is not the best McDonald's in the world. Although I've never had bad customer service and my food has always been hot. I would like the restaurant to be a little cleaner. read more

The service is awful. The cashier messed up and did not want to help me when I was willing to pay the money for her mistake. Rude.

these people always mess up your orders. i ordered a cheeseburger combo with mayo and ketchup only and my meal has onions and pickles without a drop of mayo. read more
