I like this location because of the staff.. how nice they are and efficient. I come during lunch breaks when I forget to pack a lunch and have app points to use. I'm always pleasantly greeted face to face by Katie (I believe). she's there regularly at the window and knows me by name. Even have conversations when we can at the window if not busy lol. She's so personable and sweet. The staff also get you in and out quick when you order which I appreciate so I don't use up my lunchtime. Food is always hot and fresh each time. This can be a busy area since it's food and shopping areas in one. May have to be a defensive driver at times since everyone is out and about. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting, the owner Phil when I happened to be dining in that day For a quick lunch. Did he roll out the red carpet for every customer that came in very nice guy, great attitude, excellent personality. Jovial, McDonald's was immaculate. Friendly staff.He runs a great ship Let's say, probably one of the best mcdonald's i've ever been to read more

This is probably my least favorite McDonald's in the area. The employees are polite and friendly, the food is average - pretty much what you expect from McDonald's, but the traffic pattern and the wait time at the drive thru is what keeps me from giving them more stars. The traffic pattern is just really weird and kind of tight to maneuver. McDonald's shares a lane with CVS, and to get to the McD's drive thu, you have to momentarily pretend you are in the UK and drive on the left side of the road. The drive thru line also blocks access to several of the parking spaces, so you might want to think about how you are going to make your exit before parking here. The drive thru line is almost always 5+ vehicles long, and this is the only McDonald's where I'm frequently asked to pull over and wait while my order is prepared. Often it takes upwards of 7-10 minutes for it to come out, so what was intended to be a quick stop to grad a bit of food often turns into an ordeal. Lastly, leaving the drive thru area is also tough, as often people who are sitting in line waiting to place their drive thru orders are backed up so far that you can't exit. It actually might be faster to go to another location given the traffic flow and the wait time here. read more

This McDonalds is always slammed! I usually order on the app and since then, the food comes out pretty quick and usually accurate. The freshness is hit or miss but never inedible like some places. read more

Not much to say but this location never messes up my orders and I've been to a lot of the McDonald's around RI for easy convenience. The staff is never rude to me and always checks my order. I always get the same thing but it's great they never mess up. read more

Ordered a spicy deluxe chicken sandwich and they gave me a regular chicken sandwich. I asked for sweet and sour and they gave me hot mustard and got annoyed when i asked for sweet and sour instead. Had so much attitude when i asked them to fix my sandwich. They really need to fix themselves otherwise they won't be in business much longer. read more

This place is an absolute disaster. The inside of the restaurant is filthy and it smells like the garbage hasn't been emptied in days. Trash and fries all over the place. Fruit flies in the restaurant as well. I can't believe corporate let's this dump operate under their name. read more

Been here a few times the last few years and nothing changed! Main thing is the drive thru must hold the record for being the slowest one in a hundred mile radius. Stop in today for a couple of shakes only, and that turned into a 20 minute ordeal. The best part was after we paid at the first window, we proceeded to the second window for pick up, and the asked us what we ordered! This place needs a total revamp, and possibly new management! read more

Is there a manger attached to this operation? I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a biscuit there this week. I order this weekly. This time the product was atrocious. The sausage, which is normally grilled, this time, appeared to simply be microwaved. It thew off both the texture and taste of the entire sandwich and it was awful. I called and reported the problem. Asked for a manager. A teen identified himself as the manager. He apologized and courteously offered a free replacement sandwich. I asked if he could promise it would be made properly. He was at a loss for words read more

The food was completely wrong and the people were so rude to me and my family and I had to leave the restaurant and

Not sure where to begin. First off I waited 20 mins in line just to place the order, which was wrong. I could hear the employee lose it because the computer systems went down. He put the order in wrong. Then was waiting another 20 minutes. Then I could an employee in the parking lot on his phone for 20 minutes at 915 in the morning. Before that a saw a customer walk out the front door frustrated with no food in her hand. Hmm wonder why. Their is new employees every other day. Basically I can't say anything about the food because there was none. Obviously this establishment needs some serious help! Shut it down, wrap it up! read more

Be prepared to wait minimum 15-20 minutes in the drive thru and 10-15 minutes for your food at any given time. This is Litterally the worst Mac Donald's I've ever been to, absolutely filthy all the time. Extremely rude staff that are usually 16-19 yrs old and don't give a shit. This place should be shut down. read more

12:30 PM on a Sunday and the door to the restaurant is locked, the drive-through line is at least 15 cars long. Apparently there's no point to using the app and ordering ahead as I spent 25 minutes in line to pick up the pre-ordered food. Absolutely unacceptable restaurant behavior. Why are you offering something that doesn't work? I give this place an F minus read more

When I'm drunk af, such as now and in need of grease you can't go wrong. Sitting here waiting staring at the planet fitness sign waiting for my fries I can't help but think is one of my best friends two cars behind me, she sure is. Hangover to be determined... **as a passenger of course** read more

Nothing is more disappointing the waiting over a half hour for them to have the order wrong. Then wait for another 5 minutes for them to correct. Got home to find out that the food must have been made 4hrs earlier. The McChicken sandwiches were severely overdone or reheated several times. Also as noticed the manager wander around aimlessly unaware or didn't really care the service and goods are terrible. read more

I got food from this McDonalds and it was dry and absolutely horrible, the sandwiches were made wrong and forgot lettuce or condiments, the manager was completely rude to her employees! I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO NEVER GO TO THAT SPECIFIC MCDONALDS worst McDonalds I've ever been to and I've lived in many different states read more

Drive thru moved quickly, fries were hot and salty, and the order was correct. Employees moved quickly and efficiently.

Outstanding customer service, very friendly staff. My food is always correct. management is doing a great job. read more

I've been coming to this McDonald's for years, it is the worst McDonald's there is, I'll never go back. We were in line at the drive-through, that took too long, so we went inside. That took too long, so we went to KFC, it's horrible. I guess it's because you can't find good help anymore. read more

So you actually do need to pay attention to your job, even if you would rather be on you phone. Spent a while in the drive though and when we pulled up, the staff was discussing something that they had taken a video of on their phone. We had ordered two double hamburgers without pickles. You got one correct (good job at 50%) while the other had both cheese and pickles. Didn't realize this error until we had already driven off. This was an incredibly careless mistake. You see, the person that was to consume them has a dairy allergy. Do you really want to be responsible for an allergic reaction? YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND NOT STAND AROUND TALKING. Looks like it was a bunch of teenagers who clearly need adult supervision. Management take note. read more

Don't waste your money. Bread is always hard and stale. Fries cold. They never get the order right. A lot of disgruntled employees who clearly hate their job. read more

I won't even go here anymore. I drive to the one on Atwood Ave. The drive through line is always so long and it blocks traffic for the entire plaza. It's a complete mess even since they closed the inside restaurant. Terrible. read more

Every time I go to this McDonalds I have an issue... Yesterday I ordered A 10 piece nugget meal and a boys happy meal and instead I got an eight piece nugget meal-literally it was missing two nuggets and one of the 8 looked like it was bitten. My sons happy meal which I ordered plain came with everything and then I ended up paying for a cheeseburger plain so they overcharged me because the cheeseburger plain was supposed to be in the happy meal. I also forgot to order a soda and I was told I had to get back in like again- but this time I refused and wouldn't you know they were able to add a soda to my meal!!!! This McDonalds has a bad reputation. Everyone I know has had a bad encounter here and the majority of the issues were with the staff. It's really sad when paying customers have to become used to the verbal abuse and sarcasm of fast food employees. What's even worse is the products I'm getting. I paid for a 10 PC nugget and received 7 that were edible- one appeared bitten and the other 2 just weren't in the box!! Time for a change in management ? Maybe ownership! read more

This place should close...they haven't opened their doors since Covid..they do drive thru only...It takes forever and causes major traffic jams in parking lot...Either open your doors or close up shop...the mess you are causing in Smithfield is not worth it....I refuse to go here...I wish other people would too...The Johnston and Lincoln Mc Donald's haven't closed their doors!!!! read more

Never had a problem here before but tonight- 35 minutes in line at 7 pm and burgers were dry and burnt as well as Coke was full of syrup and no carbonation. Disgusting. read more

we had ordered a meal waiting for delicious nuggets, fries, etc. I sadly have to report that I have been let down once again by this establishment. To my surpise, I open my nugget container, no, not to nuggets, but to two slabs of meat with cheese melted upon the meat. I would like to know how this could be a mixup. I was down bad and now I am below surface. Drowning under the waters with no floatie. the thirst for the nuggies are not quenched. Update: we got our food fixed and we are now happy. read more

I had to wait 14 minutes for my order. I honestly think they forgot about my order. When I did remind them that it had been 10 minutes they didn't even acknowledge my presence. Four minutes later my food came out and the manager (dressed in the black uniform) would not answer what took my food order so long to come out. All she did was walk away and said have a nice day. read more

Too bad I can't give 0 stars. This location is open 24 hours and I came around 3am hungry. Waited 20 mins at the drive through speaker till I said let's go to the window. Awful service. I usually have good service during the day so I'm really upset that after hours it's extremely bad service read more

March 26, 2022- food poisoned. My son. 20 minutes after eating 5 chicken nuggets projectile vomiting. Never again. My chicken sandwich looked like someone bit it. Stay away!!!!!! Who works here?? read more

You know if you're doing a yelp review on a McDonald's it's got to be a disaster. Well, this location has been a disaster for 2018. Being a resident I've gone here many times over the years but this year has been a complete joke. Too many options in smithfield to continue to go here. Bottom line, the drive thru is a complete cluster from order taking to order giving. If you aren't saying "#x with a coke" it is NOT going to be correct, despite when they read it back to you at the order microphone (and correcting them) and then get it wrong at the pay window. Get to the second window, They are either spilling your drink, giving you 2 out of the 3 items you ordered or asking you to pull over to get it to you. Insider tip: they won't come to you til you wait 5-10 minutes and then see you in the restaurant and it magically appears. Teenagers are working here and the manager is barely 20. You can pick the managers out because they aren't wearing the sun visor hat. And the inspiration for this review. Tonight I dealt with the manager (with 2 out of the whooping 3 orders are in the bag) (one of which was the artisan chicken sandwich that the cashier could not pronounce so she called it "the whatever". With the manager I get the look of "so you really think I care about your issue buddy? Here's a large fry to make you go away, and be careful their hot" attitude. Place is filled with clowns just like Ronald. The food is the same. The little service required is pathetic. I can only assume the employees were raised on watching "the office" and that is their only work experience. I would normally say "you get what you pay for" but here you actually don't get your complete order and pay for it anyway. McDonald's of Smithfield, change nothing and keep doing what you're doing. Your business won't suffer a bit. Because who the hell reads and writes yelp reviews about McDonald's? You're an inspiration to all young adults who don't care about doing (forget good) an ok job. And I quote "the whatever". A zillion other places to go on 44. There is zero value going to this Mickey D's. read more

the employyew at this restaurant is extremely rude i was about e sundays ago getting breakfast no response i had to wait and say hello 4 times to get a response from a female tell me can i give her a minute then where she was ready to take my order she rushed me through like i ruined her damn day... the way i see it is that you address someone and let them know you wpild be right with them. people like het are the reasons why resturants and retail stores are closing the thete businesses permanently do to piss poor service and low production. the only reason why this resturant is still open is because of its location thank god theres a dunkin and starbucks close by. i eneded driving off and not getting my order and took my business elsewhere and i went to starbucks amd was greeted with a smile. now i see why dunkin and starbusks have long line amd this mcdonald's doesnt. piss poor service. i was afraid to get my food from this place wondering if im going to have spit or a snot in my food or urine in my coffee. if uou want to be treated like shit and be rushed through your order then this rising star of mcdonald's in johnston ri is the place for you. buy yoyr food there at your own risk you have been read more

I know people are spending money for take out and places are making a ton of it like this shit hole here. I was on my way home and stoped the whole order was wrong ( these dipshits think they are essential employees) guess what your NOT!! They couldn't even follow simple directions on my order the entire thing was wrong I then tried to go inside the McDonald's to have it fixed it was given an attitude by one of the minimum-wage millennials. Never again! read more

(Note - there are two McDonald's listed on Yelp, with slightly different addresses, but apparently they are one and the same restaurant; this address most closely matches the address on my receipt.) This McDonald's is near the intersection of Routes 44 and 5. It's oddly located behind/next to a large shopping center (I wouldn't go so far as to call it a 'mall,' lol) and a CVS, I believe. I have always found their parking lot difficult to navigate. I was starving when I stopped by around 2 p.m. this past Friday; a sign advertising two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches for $4 drew me in. My first impression, when I used the men's bathroom, was that they should change the toilet seat. This location has been around for quite some time, and has been updated to try to evoke a more upscale, intimate cafe theme. Instead of a big, open dining room, there are many dividers throughout. Personally, I don't care for the decor of this particular McDonald's, especially the iridescent mosaic tiles. But then again, McD's isn't fine dining, and I was getting this to go anyway. I did read the other reviews describing rude service at this location, but the person who took my order was polite. It was moderately busy still, but the restaurant seemed adequately staffed, and the staff was all business. Perhaps the fact that an upper-level (in other words, older than 30) manager was on duty, in a shirt and tie, working right in the thick of things, accounted for things running smoothly. The wait time was reasonable, as the manager (who bore a slight resemblance to David Bowie in face, hair and stature) handed me my bag. The first thing I noticed after I got in my work truck and opened up my bag, was there were no napkins (apparently the manager didn't do a quality check). Filet-O-Fish sandwiches can be sloppy with the tartar sauce if eating while driving. Now, the quality of a Filet-O-Fish can vary greatly, in direct proportion to how fresh the sandwich is. Since I didn't receive my sandwiches too quickly, I was hopeful mine were fresh out of the fryolator. Alas, they were not fresh, although they were not the worst I've had either. They were in between. Although edible, I noticed they were stingy with the tartar sauce. I guess I can't complain for a lunch that costs a little over $4. read more

I don't write reviews enough especially for fast food places because you know you pretty much get what you are expecting. But man EVERY single time the orders are constantly wrong, ice cream machine down. Lines long as hell. If it wasn't for the fact my girlfriend loves McDonald's I would literally never EVER go this place again. Other McDonald's are usually fine but this one is just exceptionally terrible. read more

I have been to this Mcdonalds a handful of times and each time had a different experience. In the past it was a nightmare with slow workers cold food and long lines but after going today it wasn't as bad. So, with it being St. Patricks day and all I wanted a Shamrock shake since I had never had one before...and if you know me then you know I am a frozen drink fanatic! Went through the drive thru and it was overall pretty fast and the shake was mixed perfectly and it was delicious! I'd say that this location redeemed itself somewhat after today because after the bad experiences in the past I usually avoided this Micky D's. read more

Awful, slow ,only drive through inside is still closed and only one drive through. Very slow and these are the people that think what they do there is worth $15 an hour! these location needs to close. Drive 5 min to Lincoln. read more

MCdonalds once again proves fast food is not good food. Todays disappointment was the luke warm fries. I went to this restaurant after rush hour so i guess the fries were sitting under lites for awhile. My fish sandwich was piping hot because it was cooked when ordered. This is not the first time fries were on the warm side. Maybe they have to reexamine thier hold time. Potatoes are cheap! And this time it cost them a customer. read more

Now I'm talking about McDonald's but this is so outrageous. I came back because I was missing food from my meal. When I walked in I almost slept and fell because someone literally had an inch of water on the floor while mopping. And when I was waiting for a manager I saw her screaming from the back at the store. Literally back of the store at employees saying "if your going to be dumb, go home I don't need you". How could you treat people like that you work with. There is no reason for that type of hostile work place. When I was talking to her she was so rude and had such a bad attitude. Like don't take it out on a innocent person. I believe her name was skyla. I will never go back to this place. She needs to have a realty check and fired!!!!! read more

I went to McDonald's today and I ordered a large fry and I showed the coupon about 3 times and my friend showed hers 2 times...long story short I ended up paying 5$ for a large water cup and a large fry. I am livid. read more

This place is awful. I went in the drive through and asked for 2 ten piece Large nugget meals, one spicy, one not. The guy was so confused. Made on a meal one just a regular 10 piece. I said they're both meals. After he finally got that right he asked what sauce. I was asking the person i was with what sauce they wanted, and not even a second later, the guy screams "WHAT SAUCE" . I said ranch and sweet and sour. I go to get my food, and being in a rush I didn't check the bag. The drinks were a medium, one fry was large the other medium, both nuggets were regular not spicy, and I didn't receive ranch. As I was in line the car behind me got into a argument with the employee. I saw the manager come to the window and start screaming at the car, hands waving in the air. Whatever that was about I agree with the customer because the employees here are beyond rude, and don't care at all about their customers. After I got home and checked the bag and saw I didn't receive my spicy nuggets I went back. I went inside and there was a lady in front of me and they totally messed up her order as well. Everytime I go here they mess up my order or are so incredibly rude. By far one of the WORST Mcdoanlds in this state. I will drive however long I have to to find another one. 0/10 read more
