When you go to a McDonald's, you expect McDonald's food. And 95% of the time, you get what you expected - standard McDonald's fare. The only things that distinguish one McDonald's from another are the staff (service) and the physical facility. This particular McDonald's was better than most McDonalds. The staff at the counter was very personable and even pointed out to my wife that one of the combo meals would actually be less expensive than what she was trying to order alcarte. The dining room and the restrooms were very clean. This is located near King's Island and obviously caters to the King's Island crowd during the season as there are a couple of tables set up to seat 10-12 people. Excellent service, great staff, really nice facility and standard McDonald's fare. read more

Nobody knows how to make food. Everytime I've ordered within the past 3 months has been made incorrect and sloppy. Hopefully they can find some people that can put basic food together soon. read more

I generally despise McDonalds as the representation of what's wrong with American food system, but they do a good breakfast. Fast friendly service and accurate order. read more

The food quality is just not there anymore and not just at this location but every McDonald's we have been to. This location did have napkins but no ketchup. The tables sticky and not sanitized. Good thing I have sanitizer with me. I understand there is little to no help anymore but is McDonald's paying a living wage to ALL its employees? And is that why the food quality is in decline? read more

6:50 am, there are employees inside looking at me through the window. No one will take an order or acknowledge us. I've honked, I've knocked. There are other people in line, no response. This has been going on for 8 months. This restaurant is THE WORST!!!! read more

McDonald's - two cookies on a wrapper - Fast Food Near Me - Mason, Ohio

I've worked at McDonald's before. Many of us have. This location is convenient for me so we go back from time to time to see if things have gotten better. My issue today: They always forget to put sauce on my steak bagel. This is such a simple sandwich to make, but they always mess it up. No sauce, cheese half off the sandwich. Cold, dry steak. I don't know if it's the people working there, or the management. I'm inclined to say management because these issues have persisted for years. There are too many other McDonald's around to bother with this one. I'll avoid the one on Fields Ertel as well, I think it's owned by the same guy. read more

Often doesn't accept any form of electronic payment? Is often out of random routine items such as french fries and cheese. WTF? Just do yourself and your family a favor and keep driving. read more

First off, when I walked in the restaurant it looked like a 4 year old ran threw and absolutely shredded the whole place to bits. Then, when I came to order my food the workers were disrespectful and rude. They refused to take my order at first and then proceeded to give me attitude about my order. Not to mention the place smelled like a stanky diaper and it made me want to throw up. Personally, I would rather lick a piece of gum off from under a table then eat here Manager was rude to all customers and employees read more

Terrible service. Stopped after kings island and waited first in line right by the register for 15 minutes. Finally got the order and the order was wrong, didn't receive fries or a drink because he rang me up as just a sandwich when I said a number 2. Just drive to the next McDonald's and save yourself from frustration read more

Warning they are extremely slow!!! My kids have been begging for McDonald's for at least two weeks. We finally decided to grab them some before heading to our movie. For which we have now missed due to how slow this line was !! They have the same facilities as any other McDonald's so I'm not sure why it takes them so long. Also. The customer service is not great they basically say nothing almost like they are robots. I will stick with the McDonald's on Mason Montgomery!! They have always moved quick and at least greeted me with a hello and thank you for your order. read more

Very slow today. Ordered on line and hit the "I'm here" button before walking in. Took 17 minutes to get my food from time of order.

Not a big fan of the order here kiosks that have now replaced the cashiers taking your order at McDonald's! I was told that you can no longer place an order with a cashier and you must use a kiosk! Almost every business I have experienced with kiosks still provide an option to use a live person for your transactions but not McDonald's! We always order our hot fudge sundaes with caramel sauce on them and these kiosks do not have special combinations like that on them! Once done ordering via the kiosk, I still had to go and wait in a line for a cashier to make the payment! The kiosk process was senseless for people who still need to pay at the cashier! The live cashier that takes the payment also filled the ice cream machine and it looked like they had their fingers in their mouth while filling the machine! I will be using their drive thru for now on to avoid the kiosk! Guess I will stop going all together once they decide to automate the drive thru with kiosks also! The sundae was excellent but these other issues result in a 2 star rating! read more

McDonald's - Not a fan of the new order here kiosk stations! Having no option to still order from a cashier is ridiculous! - Fast Food Near Me - Mason, Ohio

If this McDonald's would completely overhaul management it'd probably be decent as it's in a prime location just down from Kings Island however you will wait in the drive through for a good half hour or more even when there are only five or so cars ahead of you. We attempted to ditch the drive through wait by going in and using the unmanned ordering station but still ended up waiting 30 minutes. There weren't many people there at all so it's impressive they managed to make it take that long. There are overflowing trash cans, trash left all over the tables, brooms and dustpans strewn about. And despite the fryers going our food was cold and tasted like it had been sitting out the full 30 min wait. Drive to the Landen location, even with the drive you'll get your food faster! read more

Not sure what is going on at this McDonalds! Drive thru is one of the worse... my daughter wanted lunch.. two drive thru lines/ make sure you pick the correct line.. I talked to manager. It's not and never will be every other car! Because one of the lines the order is taken by the person taken the money! The other by the person filling bags! So the person taking money may not be as fast as the person filling orders. So the manager tells me as FIVE cars went when I was told to hold on by the person at my drive up line! All I got from manager was that's the way it goes! Lol as she walked away! Sounds like this McDonalds needs as reading some reviews, NEEDS new management! Ever hear "have time to lean, have time to clean!" This one had lots of leaning going on! At 1:47pm today... read more

Terrible service took way to long to get food. They couldn't get some of the machines in here to work and it took forever to order. The staff was very rude and it was a terrible atmosphere. read more

Worst McDonalds we've ever been to. Extremely slow service and incorrect food. Today it was utter chaos with seemingly no one in charge. Workers joking and laughing while the line outside is wrapped around the building. Avoid this location at all costs! read more

Terrible customer service. Right next to kings island and wanted something quick after we left the amusement park. There was a line wrapped around the building, but we got in line at 10:40 and were willing to wait. We finally get to order our food at the speaker at 10:50, and no worker answers. We waited 5 minutes for someone to answer, I even called them, still no answer. They completely ignored us and the 20 cars behind us. From a profitability stand point, they turned down 20 cars willing to pay for food. From a customer service standpoint, they turned down 20 hungry families. Majority of the food industry closes at 11. They should've served those in line at 11, but now everyone has to scramble for last minute food. I get it, it's McDonald's, but honestly terrible and really upset. Thank goodness Wendy's stayed Opened to serve those 20 families. read more

McDonald's - the interior of a car at night - Fast Food Near Me - Mason, Ohio

We don't often go to McDonald's but decided to let the kids have their way after Winterfest at Kings Island. 7:30pm. One customer in the lobby, one or two in drive through. Five employees that I saw. Had to wait five minutes at the counter for someone to take our order. Took 20m to get our food. Made the persons in front of us wrong. Made ours wrong. Missing items. No ketchup dispensers working. Drink fountains out. It's a McDonald's, you don't expect much, but Jesus. read more

Now a days....Every McDonalds in the USA sell and receive the exact same food products. It is all about speed and service to make these iconic places an actual place to dine. This one was clean, I will give it that. Ironic enough this specific place was slow with workers that weren't friendly in the slightest. I did get my food, but it took a while. I ordered to go food from the inside due to needing to use the restroom. It seemed like 10 min to get my food once the order was placed. Luckily I had my cup once I placed my order and was able to drink 2 full drinks. WTF? 2 drinks. Go figure. read more

I am not sure how this McDonald's can be light years slower than all the other locations but I'm telling you, it's ridiculous. The food is McDonald's food so no surprise there. We stopped by today and once again, we were in the drive-thru for over 10 minutes. This happens every time I go to this location. The store is right by Kings Island. You'd think, after all these years, the managers would have figured out a way to hurry the FAST FOOD up. I think you get served faster at Chipotle across the street. If you're looking for McDonald's food, go to a different place. You'll probably save 10 minutes. read more

This McDonald's is terrible. Slowest I've ever been too. I've even called while in the drive thru lane and they don't answer the phone! Average 20 minutes TERRIBLE!!!! read more

The lady taking our order was a hateful person. We ordered 3 meals and she only gave us 2 cups. My wife asked for the 3rd and she says "well I only rang you up for two". My wife shows here the receipt where their is 3 and she so "WELL" and put a cup on the counter. Food was really good and service was fast. read more

Negative stars is what this place deserves!!! If you even attempt to argue with the service you are getting, for the food you have already paid for, an ungodly rude and vulgar lady will swear you out and threaten you with police involvement for not obeying her demands TO YOU A PAYING CUSTOMER. Specifically at 3pm on Oct 4th 2022. The level of rudeness was absolutely disgusting and appalling. I will never be back and I advice all others to steer clear. read more

1:50am. No nothing until I said hello. All I got was 10-15 minute wait and cash only. Sounds crooked to me.

This is the slowest McDonald's ever in the history of human life if there's at kind of line at all just give up the morning crew can keep up and that's it it's seriously not worth it I spent an hr in this line for 2 items read more

I rarely complain and I know McDonalds is fast food, but this McDonald's was as slow as a turtle and with terrible customer skills. Ordered on their high tech kiosk, but it became a 30 minute wait for my meal, and an extra 10 minutes for my latte. There were two young ladies / girls working the front, one was working as hard as possible, the other was atrocious. Lazy and not caring is an understatement. Oh well... the fast food promise in a high tech Micky D's didn't work. read more

Truly the worst. Friday evening. Understaffed. Dirty. Ran out of key items. Did I say all tables are filthy?? Food took 15 min for two meals. read more

Absolutely the WORST McDonald's ever placed on this earth. How do you mess up a simple order of a large Coke?!? Yet, somehow they found a way. At least the 3rd time they have messed up an order of ours with no care whatsoever. Never going back. Would give negative stars if possible. read more

One star is generous. They aren't open 24/7 their drive thru take 30 minutes MINIMUM you could die of a heart attack or run out of gas before they take your order. Don't go here read more

DO NOT EAT AT THIS MCDONALD'S!! If I could, I would give "0" stars. I had to wait in line so long in the drive-thru, my coupon code expired and I could not use it. The tea was not fixed correctly and they would not fix the problem. The staff was laughing, when I knocked on the window about my drink. I asked to speak with a manager, and she/he Never came to talk to me. The lobby was closed when it was supposed to be open. When, I inquired about this I was told the restaurant didn't have a sign. I asked, did they have a paper and pen?! I was told I couldn't walk up to the window by a young man in his teens. I explained that all I wanted was my tea. He said to park and he would bring it out to me - he never came out. Idid not get a receipt. I called customer care. I was told the store would call me back. I am waiting for a call back. I've been waiting since about 6 PM (1 hour), and I doubt that I will get a call at all. read more

Terrible. I waited at the drive thru for 5 minutes and was never greeted. Swung around and parked to go inside only to be ignored for 10+ mins. I would've left but had placed an online order for pickup. Staff was not at all concerned that people were waiting to order or waiting on their orders for eternity. Finally got food, fries were good and fresh but my nuggets tasted old. Horrendous service. read more

Slowest drive thru in the entire state of Ohio. And this is every time I go through the drive thru on my work lunch break.

Worst McDonalds ever? Decide for yourself based on my last 4 trips. #1) Got my order wrong (guess they don't read those guarenteed stickers) #2) While carrying my 2 year old daughter who was crying, I asked where the high chairs were. The employee pointed and said "outside" and walked away. Why do they keep them outside? Do they think that is easy for parents with kids to move them inside themselves? Why didn't she get it for me? #3) No problems - the exception for this restaurant? #4) THE CAPPER - My wife went to the drive thru and upon opening her sandwich while on the highway, a roach came out of the wrapper. Worst McDonalds ever? I'm sure there are worse. Like maybe in Tijuana or Cairo. But II know I won't be backto this one ever. Hopefully those going to Kings Island read this before visiting this place. (Note this is not in KI but on the exit north) Follow up 3/2/9 - After my wife's experience she call McDs to complain. THey said the owner would contact her. To date no call. I'm not surprised. read more

This McDonald's hopping. Slow moving. Cars lined up wrapped around the building. Food is you typical McDonald's. Something quick to eat before heading out to kings island down the road. You may want to check Wendy's across the road no line there. read more

McDonald's - Needs a little cleaning - Fast Food Near Me - Mason, Ohio

What's with the prices? The dipped ice cream cones cost 50 cents more than where I live! While on vacation, we stopped here with my big family and placed our order. That is a challenge for me as well as the person taking the order. It's lots of food and not nice and neat and all meal deals. Well, we were short a drink. I asked the person taking the order to count the number of drinks and she told me we were ok, but we weren't. All you need to do is to be able to count to 6! I just couldn't believe how much higher the prices were! I get that it's in a tourist area, but really? read more

I cannot even believe I waited as long as I did for ANY food, let alone McDonald's. Last night was the worst fast food experience I've ever had. My friend and I got in the drive-thru line at 10:17 pm, when we got blocked in the line by cars behind us. There were probably 30 cars that pulled up and left because they were waiting too long. My friend got out of the car to order inside. There were probably 5-9 people in line, and she waited for over 45 minutes just to order her food as I was still stuck in the drive-thru by other cars behind me. Finally the person behind me bailed and I was able to reverse out, with the 3 cars in front of me doing the same. It was 11:29 pm at this point; over an hour without even getting to the order window. I parked and went inside to join my friend who had just ordered and paid. The orders that were being filled for other people kept coming out wrong or incomplete and had to be redone. It wasn't just one order, something was either missing or incorrect in every order that was filled. People who were ordering from the touch machines went up to the counter to ask where their food was and they were told that their order couldn't be filled because "we don't have that" or "that machine is broken right now". Even worse, the woman making the food in the back was chewing on something, her mouth was completely full. She wiped the counter with a rag and threw it across the room on the floor. All said and done, we got our food at 12:23 am. Two hours and six minutes waiting at a McDonalds. I'm the fool for not leaving. The food (no surprise) was sitting on the hot table forever waiting to be put into bags so it was cold and chewy by the time we got it, so I didn't even end up eating any. The person in front of me from the drive-thru window pulled up to the window about 5 minutes before we got our food, so the drive-thru line was waiting equally as long. Just a terrible experience. (The woman working there with the red hair was very sweet and had a great attitude, unlike the woman with the shaved head who was just snapping at people when they said their order was incorrect.) read more

So, my first visit back since they finished construction/ remodel. I think there are some decent upgrades that they have made, but they charge alot for this place... since it is less than a mile away from Kings Island and Great Wolf Lodge, two major attractions. First thing I noticed was how the store is now turned. I'm guessing this is to maximize the Drive Thru for those busy times. They also have a "Double Ordering" speaker now to help with ordering. I just wonder if there will be any more of those rediculous ONE HOUR wait times in the drive thru like there had been after Kings Island closes!!!! Inside the store, Seating seems limited compared to previous. Almost half of the dining area is actually high seating, almost bar style. One plus I enjoy is the number of power outlets that they have now. Making finding a seat easier if you carry your electronics with you or need to recharge your cell phone! The bathrooms were a nice upgrade from before, but the soap (yes, I'm complaining about the soap, but at least I used some!!! lol) the soap was very runny.... almost as if they "half and half'd" the soap! They also took out the outdoor playland and installed patio seating, but most of the seating is unshaded. The Prices, as i said before, seems expensive compared, but almost every value meal is near the same price. A Big Mac Meal meal is $5.49 and an Angus Bacon & Cheese is only 40 cents more at $5.89! Something doesn't seem right about that to me!!! I do have to say that you get a little more "attitude" with your order from this McDonalds, but about the same as before. So, some pluses on the rebuild, and a couple of minus: mostly from my pocket... If you know where the next closest McDonalds is and it's on your way, I recommend stopping there. You may actually save a couple of bucks!!! read more
