I can't really say much about this place other than this: the one time I visited which was Wednesday (10/5/16), the bathroom was flooded with water. Food generally tends to be the same at all McDonald's unless you travel out of the US. They have the 2 for $2.50 and 2 for $5 specials. The seating arrangement in this place is good, lots of comfy seats and spots. read more

I'm not a big fan of fast food, but McDonalds has been having some wicked deals lately. So, I figured I'd try it out again after years of avoiding it at my local McDonald's in Journal Square. This location happened to be recently renovated. So, it looks more modern than before and even has a takeout window at the entrance now for late-night orders. There is ample seating in front and the registers, pickup area, and self-service kiosks are far in the back. I ordered two times during a week and got a double cheese burger promo then a Big Mac promo with a $5 chicken sandwich combo with nuggets. When it comes to taste, everything tasted mediocre and not very fresh - like it was all precooked, sitting in the bin, and just reheated to serve. All the chicken dishes were either dried out or overcooked. The Big Mac was ok. And, I disliked the Sprite soda. It tasted like it was made with lightly carbonated tap water and sweet syrup - not Sprite. I did notice an element of poor and homeless people still hanging out here. So, don't be surprised if you see a few or smell a few. With that said, they dont clean the tables often either. So, it's best not to dine in, or something may ruin your appetite. Perhaps it's been too long or now I have had much better fast food and burgers. But, I thought McDonald's tasted better. Although the price fits the taste, I'd only grab this again if I want cheap grub fast. And I definitely wouldn't dine in at this location. read more

It had a distinct pee smell as soon as you walk in. Everything else is the same as other McDonald's: digital ordering system, deals, cashier, etc. I came here for the 5 for $5 and they packed all the items into a tiny brown bag. Unbelievable! I asked for bigger brown bag and they refused and were thinking of charging extra 0.75 for it. Unbelievable x2! Not coming back to this place again! read more

McDonald's - Fast Food Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

food was fine, service was alright, bathroom was disgusting, on the other hand, I needed 10 fucking cents and you couldn't even give me my 10 cents. I needed $0.67 in change, and you cheap ass people gave me $0.57. this is blasphemy. read more

$4.49 for fries? Is this shake shack? If I wanted to spend that kind of money I could have franchised my own McDonald's location that doesn't rip people off. read more

It's stinks, not sure if anyone mops but the first two steps I smell nothing but piss. The waiting after placing the order was long too. Even as someone who's done uber, coming here to pick up an order is a waste of time, just cancel and move on. You'll stay there longer then what it's worth. read more

It should take almost 20 minutes to get a drink I understand it's breakfast and it's busy but they need to hire more people or someone should have hopped on the station with drink worker. read more

Service is not good. They recently removed the drink refill machine, so there is no more refills. Moreover, the bathroom is not clean

First review I've ever made because this Mcdonald's is run by Jesus Christ himself. Perfect fri crispiness, no soggy big mac and very well created. Lots of sauce on the sandwiches, and they made the food faster than I've ever seen. Best nuggets ever. The service is great, will 100000% be coming again, even though it's super far. I went on Friday at 5:30PM, GIVE THEM A RAISE. read more

The security lady with yellow hair is threatening some customers and using inappropriate language. I felt terrible when I asked to use the bathroom after purchasing a large coffee. I'm unsure when I can leave a positive review for this McDonald's. Other employee are quite nice to customers well. read more

Messed up my order multiple times. Rude employee , no sense of customer service. Avoid read more

I hope corporate sees this review. I stoped in last night on my way back from New York, it was around 2:am I have to say terrible service and the manager is rude and unprofessional. read more

So cheap that they can't even give one cup for plain water when you buy two full meals. We walked out as a result of the refusal and went to Taco Bell down the block, where they DO give a water cup if you ask. read more

Its a McDonalds. What else can I say review wise. HOWEVER. The night shift (i usually go there between 1130pm-1am) after my shift at work. The night shift Manager and her team so far have been the BEST ive ever had the pleasure of ordering from. Ive watched them be professional and COURTEOUS to every single person that walks in and orders. I even witnessed the manager personally handle an order from a obvious man who was needy and gave him the best deal for his money that he had! Its an up and down experience in many mcdonalds, specially their service, but this McDonalds night team is literally the one reason why I choose this specific spot at a normally seedy area during a late hour. read more

I used to live in the Journal Sq area for many years. It never improved and it seems that the majority of the people living there just don't care. I met a friend to shop a little on a Sunday in November of 2016 and afterwards we went to this McDonald's. The food was not hot, french fries not cooked and ice cold, it's so loud in there you can't hear yourself think. As we were sitting at the table eating I looked behind my friend's head in the booth to see an army of roaches crawling up and down. I had to keep swatting something that was flying near my face and food. I finally got so aggravated and grossed out that I said "let's go!" Never again. I should have asked for a manager or called the health department. So sad really... I think all of Journal Sq should be torn down and start again. read more

Security issues aside, I cannot fathom the positive reviews of this place. I have lived in the JSQ area for over eight years now and have dropped by here around a dozen times, the last time being a few months ago. Every visit was marred by the obvious saltiness of the food, and every time I walked out wanting to drink a few whole bottles of water. The only reason this branch does not obtain a one-star review from me is the fact that it is open 24/7 and does keep the neighborhood going. My personal recommendation is to visit the location on Newark Ave instead. Better yet, if you have a car, the location on 1/9 in North Bergen is preferable. read more

I like this mcd solely because it is cleaner and located near my house. Much better ambience than the ones in nyc. Ppl are nice and dont expect anything better than a mcd experience (in terms of the food quality) . But believe me, when you want to , you can go in and sit calmly and drink your coffee and ruminate... read more

Second time I order on Grubhub and I don't receive me complete order. It only takes a few seconds to make sure everything is in order before it goes out. First time I ordered the chicken nuggets meal and didn't receive me fries. This time I ordered the 2 cheeseburgers meal and didn't receive my drink and fries. Completely unacceptable. I will no longer order from this place again. read more

Average food , quality has to be improve a lot , fully water on the floor in restrooms, soda glasses on the floor ,,, compared to subway opposite this is nothing ,,,,,, read more

Simply put the worst McDonalds I have ever been to--save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

I came here Friday night for dinner well I was in line these three products of great parents (not really) skip the whole 10 deep line and placed their order (i dont expect the cashiers to say anything because really the mcd pay rate isnt worth a fight) so i called em out and got into argument so a guy who called himself the security guard of the place (Spanish guy with tattoos and a black shirt) instead of doing his job and telling the girls to get in line (because he seen the whole thing because he stands by the counter)He takes their side and wants to fight me because he feels disrespected because i asked him why is he here if hes not going to do his job and followers me out of the store to try to fight me..I don't understanding hiring a security guard who is looking to hurt the customers when his job is to protect the place and i hope the customers in it.I wont be going back here again read more

Open 24/7, next to the PATH Jsq train station and other shops/restaurants, and it's pretty good. Parking is on street.

"Wha d'ya want?" Great start! I order a chicken wrap meal with water... They give me a bottle of water. I ask for a paper cup for my water. "No". Can I have a coffee cup? "No". May I please have any cup? "No" ...Sigh. read more

Their new app gives you a free sandwich but this store won't honor it. Their staff are not familiar with how to scan codes or manually input it. Therefore your treated badly because of their ignorance. Avoid the app. read more

No problems with the food or staff but they do a horrible job keeping homeless people/beggars/and people with an odor out of there. Expect to be asked for your change on the way in, AND on the way out. It gets pretty dicey at night too. read more

VERY POOR MANAGEMENT . After my order she was still cooking hash brown and when it was ready she was serving hash brown to other Coustomer who order after me. When I ask why are you serving other Coustomer who came after me. She didn't have answer to give me and make me wait again while she was cooking hash brown. Very poor service read more

This McDonald's has been renovated recently and is a pleasant place to eat. The staff was friendly and helpful when I was here. The food is standard McDonald's, same as you get everywhere. There is no self-service cream and sugar available for coffee, but they were happy to prepare my coffee the way I wanted it. The ATM is convenient. read more
