    Two level 2 chargers
    Eduardo C.

    Huge improvement since the remodel and it looks busier than ever. This McDonald's location is focused on quick pick up and drive through. Very limited seating. I love that there are electric chargers (probably a tax benefit). The 'downside' is that they are level 2 rather than level 3, meaning they're 'slow chargers'. For a place that is for fast food, it doesn't make a ton of sense to have slow chargers? About parking, I think the placement of the two handicapped spots is awkward. The drivers would have to circle the lot or make a very awkward 3 point turn based on where the entrance is - checked the box but wasn't planned most efficiently. Inside is small, not too much seating and there are no self serve soda machines, napkin station, or condiments, all downsides in my opinion. There are two kiosks that they encourage you to use (though I used my App). Alternatively, there is one cash register open - downside is that the person behind the register also hands out food - at a busy time it might be hectic for them. Food is consistent as any other - always a positive! I'd come back for a quick bite!

    Finally reopened after quite a long time due to renovations. Bigger and better than the previous locations and a bit more modern than the one in Hackensack or other locations. Staff is friendlier than the one going to Ramsey. Service is slower as I guess everything is new but hey that gets a pass. Food was good and typical McDonald's. Good when you want something easy and cheap. No longer have to go to Hackensack which had slow and poor service. One bonus is that it has some of the old staff members that my brother remembers which is a plus and is closer to home in Paramus.

    Hair in our French Fries

    This place has really just gone to the dogs. We stopped by last week notice that there were no diced onions in our burgers, even though they are selected to be in the order. Instead of being a one off, we are the same issue with both our burgers tonight. Secondly, what is up with the new chicken nuggets?!? They are the same price as before, but now half the thickness of the nuggets that we used to get. They are now 75% breading and 25% chicken. To add insult to injury, we found a long hair embedded in our fries tonight. Disgusting. I called to speak with the manager, but nobody picked up. After being loyal to this location for six years, we're never going again.

    Price gouging. Don't go here!!!

    If you want to go to the most expensive McDonalds on Route 17 and get ripped off then go this this one in Paramus. They charged $13.57 for a Big Mac meal. I refunded my meal and drove 6 miles down the road to Ramsey and paid 8.86 for the same thing. Save your money and go to Smash Burger.

    Gave my 4 year old spicy nuggets in her happy meal. No answer when I call. This is not a small problem contact me asap. I will also report you to corporate!

Staff were bilingual which is nice as everyone is not fluent in English. It gave me the chance to practice my Spanish. If you don't practice you forget. Remember if you're a senior they give senior discounts on your order. Dining room closes at 10:00 pm but the drive thru is always an alternative. That chicken sandwich was so good I went around again and ordered another one! Well done Wendy's !! Dave Thomas would be proud of this restaurant. Paramus NJ 17 South. Employee Lucas was as kind and patient as he could be. For all these reasons this Wendy's is a five star experience!

    Paramus 17 South Mar 7 2025…read more THE FOOD --------------- + Menu is like any other Wendy's you'll walk into (or order from online). No surprises on it. + Burgers, Fries, Nuggets, Baked Potato, Chili, Frosties - All are what you would expect from any Wendy's location. Never had a problem with any of the food quality here. Never had a chance to try the breakfast from this location, but pretty sure it won't be a surprise. THE SERVICE ------------------- + During dinner hours, workers were relatively quick. Our order was fulfilled very fast and ready upon arrival, as expected for a fast food restaurant. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Pretty much your standard modern-day Wendy's that was renovated in the last few years. No more old school exterior or interior here. + No observable cleanliness issues that were out of the ordinary for a Wendy's. + Large, private parking lot has ample parking spaces + Lots of other businesses nearby as this is a very busy section of Paramus. = Located right off of Route 17 South towards the northern end of Paramus. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = Never got extremely busy, even during peak dinnertime. This is probably because there are so many Wendy's locations in the nearby area.

    Somewhere around the late '10's, Smashburger was "falling off". Five Guys, Shake Shack, and a…read moreplethora of local businesses started jumping on the premium burger trend, leaving this pioneer-restaurant behind. My advice? Don't sleep on Smashburger. Somewhere around 2024-2025, they did a bit of introspection --- and have revamped much of their image: menu simplification, bolder brand identity, and ACTUAL value pricing on items. I remembering visiting Smashburger in the 2010's, and often my burgers and fries were drenched in grease. Not this time. Burgers are delicately assembled, and more or less look like the photo on their menus! In Paramus, I've only had positive interactions with the staff --- they have been helpful in ordering and recommending when I am indecisive. On top of that: don't sleep on their app! They have better "reward deals" than many other chain restaurants! I tried two items today: 1) Mexicali Big Dog ($7.99) - This is a "¼ pound 100% Angus beef hot dog, cheddar cheese sauce, grilled jalapeños, chopped bacon, crispy fried onions, fresh-sliced avocado, and Mexican crema on a butter-toasted Big Dog roll." IT SLAPS. All the flavors work together, and I traveled to work after picking it up --- 20 minutes later it still HIT. And oh my goodness that toasted roll, it just elevates the experience! 2) Double Jalapeno Crema Smash ($7.99) - If you're a fan of Tex-Mex and grilled jalapenos, this item is for you! The heat pairs well with the Crema in the burger, to offer you both a heat and cool effect. It is smoky, rich, and spicy in all the right ways! Definitely recommend --- and NOT SOGGY from any grease! (There is bacon in my photo --- I added that!) In any case --- Smashburger has made a wonderful comeback, and I wish more people knew about it!! Until then, I will be frequenting this location because it taste better (and is CHEAPER) than Shake Shack and Five Guys, and I will not take that back!
