It's McDonald's. Not my favorite place, and Kid K has gotten away from wanting Happy Meals aaallllll the time. But today she wanted one, and we needed something to eat before the pumpkin patch. No lines inside or out. Clean inside. Easy access off the highway. Kiosks were not working right; ordered there but paid at counter. Friendly service. Not very fast for fast food, considering they weren't busy. But didn't hold us up too long. K liked her Happy Meal. Nuggets, fries, apples, milk. Semi-healthy. I got a McDouble. It was... edible. $3 for a double burger, blah meat, blah bun, blah toppings. But it was sustenance, and we got back on the road. read more

Burnt hamburger it is ridiculous! who do they have cooking? apparently someone that does not know what they are doing! read more

McDonald's - It was burnt more on the lower side! That is really no that visable - Fast Food Near Me - Pataskala, Ohio

Got my entire order wrong, wanted just pickles and cheese and ketchup and ended up having onions and mustard which are my least favorite toppings so it was very hard to eat. Terrible service when ordering overall bad experience and bad service. read more

It was the longest wait with no business, food quality is horrible,probably will never order from here again I had to go in to get my food they told me pull forward all I had was a large fry I waited 20 mins and then when I came in they had no problem giving it to me read more

I was excited to try to strips. I took a bite. greasy. Half raw. Fries were not cooked all the way thru. Asked for 2 UNsweet teas , got 1 sweet . Will not be coming back to this location if I was starving. read more

Drive thru order was in the correct wrappers but was not the items ordered. I asked for assistance and was told the manager was too busy to help. When I went around to complain, the manager kept the food, my receipt and said she was refusing service as I had used the word "shit". This location is terrible in speed of service and attentiveness to customers. I will NEVER go to this store. In this latest case of unacceptable service, McDonald's has STOLEN my money. read more

Probably one of the worst McDonald's I've ever been to dining rooms usually dirty the employees can't take your order at the register inside no more because they don't know how to run the cash register always giving you the wrong change back also Foods usually cold from where it's been sitting in a tray for a long time plus they don't know how to count the nuggets you always get shorted at least one or two and if you don't check your bag out after you ask them for condiments they're usually not in there .The employees are playing on the phone when you go through the drive-through line also Man has McDonald's really changed. I see why they're going out of business. read more

I'm only giving you one star because I can't give you zero. Had to wait 15 minutes at the drive-through. The order wasn't ready or couldn't be found. I already placed and paid for it on the app. Call the manager asked for a refund refused to offer one. Got really rude on the phone saying that the order is there even though the drive-through people couldn't find it. Rude rude rude. Never again. read more

SLOW!!! Still waiting after 25 minutes. Complete chaos, and mismanagement in the kitchen.

This McDonald's was a mess. I don't frequent fast food restaurants often and McDonalds is generally my last pick, even when things are dire. Today was a prime example of why that is. I randomly got off the exit here because my sister and I were starving. We had a 40 minute drive ahead of us and we had to grab a quick bite to eat. At first we got in the drive through line. It wasn't too long and we were happy to wait. That was until several minutes had gone by and the line hadn't moved. We then decided to quickly park and run in to order. We immediately regretted that decision when we opened the doors. There were about eight customers standing around, all that had ordered and were waiting for their food. We went ahead and placed our orders and went to grab our drinks. Oh no, they were out of ice. It was about eleven in the morning so we were shocked. We waited several minutes at the counter before we were acknowledged and given ice from the kitchen. And then we waited. And we waiting some more. In the meantime I pulled up their Yelp page to get feedback from other Yelpers and surprise! This painfully slow service was typical. After what felt like forever, we finally got our food and jumped in the car to hit the road again. We were a few minutes down the highway when I realized my order was wrong. I'm a vegetarian and ordered an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. The one I got had ham on it. Big bummer! My hash brown was tasty though. It was crispy and you could tell it was just made. I would definitely suggest stopping at a different location if you're cruising down route 70 and need a quick bite. The service was poor and slow and in my case it was not worth the wait. read more

Horrible and super super slow, especially if you go inside. Now I know that the drive thru has priority, but. There were 3 people in front of me, each of them got two sandwiches. It took over 10 minutes for the first guy to get his. Apparently he broke the seal for the rest of us. Within a minute of him getting his, we all got ours no more than a minute apart. God love, the girl running the register. She has to stay on the front line while customers around. I know because I worked in fast food for years when I was a teenager and into my early twenties. But even she was getting frustrated. All I did was wait and talk with the other guests about how young kids today, have no work ethic or drive to do anything for themselves. So sad. I am glad I only paid a dollar for the sandwich. read more

The drive thru was horrible on a Sunday at 1:45ish in the afternoon. I hate when customers go around the the line to cut in on that outside ordering lane. Then that lane moved three to 1 compared to the inside. When I got the ordering speaker, the person told me to hold on. Ok. But then two cars ordered on the outside lane before I went. After asking what was up, the person said "oh sorry, go ahead". 25 minutes for four drinks is ridiculous. Yes I should have gone inside but when there was o my three cars infront of me in the drive thru I thought it was have been faster. Hence I hate going to McDonald's but my niece really wanted that frozen Coke.....never again! read more

Super super slow no one was even in line. I'm not sure if they were under staffed or lack of care but not a place to go if you need to be somewhere on time. read more

If I could give it no stars I would! I will never go to this McDonald's ever again. I was greeted by a young girl with long brown hair and her first words were " Wat Up watcha want". Well, I wanted my grandbabies' food right! The chicken nuggets looked like they were fried in year-old grease. My spicy crispy chicken sandwich was literally garbage and burnt from the grease. So they remade the food and the new food looked even worse. A manager, I guess, came over and said it's the grease, we haven't changed it, so you get what you get right now. I chose to get my money. I nor my grandbabies were going to eat that trash. Old grease, I think not. And for the ghetto-talking girl and the two teenage boys that were smacking each other on the butt and grabbing each other's nipples, that was beyond ridiculous. That place is so unprofessional and unsanitary. Stay away from here. Even know it's a convenient location off the freeway. read more

Short update: as shown from my previous, lengthy negative review, I am not too fond of this McDonald's location. I try my hardest to stay as far away as possible, but tonight I was left with little choice. I pulled into the empty drive-thru and waited for my order to be taken. A minute or so passed and still no sign of acknowledgment so I put my car in park and waited....and waited... After five minutes and a few "hellooo's", I take a look at the line accumulating behind me and see four other cars. I became frustrated and pulled out of the drive-thru line to park and go inside. I came around the front to find a large group of employees gathered around front sitting outside. Obviously something must have gone wrong inside for them all to need to leave the building together- the lights inside were still on and there were no police cars, ambulances, nor fire trucks so it was hard to tell. When I left the parking lot, I noticed two more cars file behind the growing line. It was simply frustrating that the employees were sitting out front chit chatting, giving no indication that they were unable to stay open at the time. With a growing drive-thru line, you would think someone would at least put up a sign rather than sit and do nothing! The time was around 8:00pm, during normal hours. Very weird occurrence to add to the negative list. read more

Should have just gone do s the road. The staff are rude as can be when they mess your order up. Don't waste your time or money

Went to McDonald's in Pataskala this morning (7/28/22) Drive thru ordered a Steak egg cheese bagel. Open the bag to check it, I saw the bagel so figured they had that right, hash brown, and coffee. Well, I got home and open my sandwich and guess what? It was a sausage egg cheese bagel. Went to Taco Bell last week in Blacklick and ordered a Supreme Steak Burrito, go home and it was a bean burrito. The food really isn't all that good in these fast food restaurants but at least they can get the orders right! And I haven't even started with Donatos! In Blacklick. So what's a girl supposed to do? Stop going to fast food. I am done. read more

Absolutely terrible, the worst McDonalds I have ever been to. Completely messed up my entire order we had to correct them 3 times that they messed it up and had to drive all the way back twice. read more

The people behind the counter are always either screwing off or chatting. You have to wait 20 mins just for someone to ask if you go your order yet then they start making it maybe. Worst place to go to. read more

I usually don't stop at this McDonalds because of how slow it is. I work night shift at Amazon right up the road. People cannot run to McDonalds on their 30 minute break, order their food, and be back to clock in on time. It's not even a 5 minute drive. Tonight I was in the area, pretty hungry, and it's about the only thing that's open. Gave it a shot. Though the drive thru was faster than usual... my mcchicken literally came without a bottom bun. I've never had a decent encounter at this location. read more

This McDonald's has the slowest drive thru ever. If you don't mind the wait, the food is standard McDonald's fare. Check your bag before you go, though, as they frequently make mistakes. read more

McDonald's - McDonalds in Etna/Pataskala - Fast Food Near Me - Pataskala, Ohio

I should have left as soon as I got in line at the counter. I witnessed a girl taking some sort of meat off of a salad and placing it back in the warming trays then replacing with some other meat. YIKES ! Well, I wasn't here for a salad so I placed my order. My fries were cold. My McNuggets were cold and dry (during lunch rush too). I was starving so I could eat these two items. I also got a quarter-pounder with cheese. It was really juicy when I bit into it. Then I noticed the bright red blood that was dripping out of the rear of the burger and all over the table. Can I get some McSalmonella to go please ? I really enjoy medium rare steaks but I draw the line at completely raw McBeef. There were 15 people waiting at the counter so I didn't bother raising a stink to get my $4 back and I definitely didn't want it replaced. I tore the burger in half and left it for all to see. Should have taken a picture to post here, but it might scare your children. Won't be back....ever. read more

Didn't have any problems with the drive thru: my order was correct, hot, and I only waited a minute or so. The food was standard McDonalds fare. They do appear to have a Wi-Fi connection hooked up to Nintendo's 3DS Street Pass/ Spot Pass system as while in line noticed the green light on my 2DS light up. That's always a plus! read more

I used to work there. My GM Carlos called me the N word and I quit. I went back as a customer today he tried to argue with me about my order being wrong and he, himself messed my order up twice. The food was cold the first time and I went back to get fresh food and he insisted on talking to me after I explained what what I need from them. He refused to listen and he was arguing that I said I didn't get my food when I had a complaint that my food was still partially frozen. -1/10 would not recommend. Crappy management and people skills and crappy customer service read more

If you enjoy waiting 30 minutes in the drive through going to signs that don't reflect the current menu this is the place! Broken screens and lousy speakers let distracted employees screw up your order. Worst customer service and no appreciation towards the customer. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

This was by far one of the worst mcdonalds. For starters sandwiches were literally thrown together. Upon entering the play area we were overwhelmed by the smell of urine. The floors and tables were dirty. Even the softer side of the floor was covered with crumbs and pieces. My 3 old then got stuck up top so i was forced to climb up. Each crawl i took inside the play place was sticky and the smell was atrocious. Urine smell was absolutely awful. Definitely will not be back to this location . read more

This is by far the worst McDonald's I've been to in a long time. Yet again another place around Pataskala that we try to avoid it all costs because we have so many problems there. I decided to stop at the drive-thru for a large drink the other night. All I ordered was a large root beer. Shouldn't be that hard, right? I got up to the window and paid then went to the second window waiting for my drink. This kid who looked to be about 12 years old open the window and gave me a confused look then handed me a shamrock shake and a bag of food. I'm not normally the kind of person who would do something like this, but I took the food and left. I figured I had dealt with enough screw-ups at this location that I finally deserved something in return. As I'm driving home I realized that the person in front of me probably got my drink, because if you're going to screw something up you might as well just go ahead and screw everything up, at least that seems to be their motto at that location. read more

This is possibly the absolute worst McDonald's I've been to. And I've traveled pretty far. The shittiness of this McPitStop is something to behold. Sometimes it's the only thing available to me if I'm working late in the area though, so I keep coming back to experience their abuse. The drive thru takes forever, and what's sad is that I often get either the wrong order or partially cold food. This is when the order isn't just outright disgusting. I think the late night crew seasons thing with fistfuls of salt. I also think the late night crew just occasionally decides to go cash only. I'm not sure if it's actual technical issues, it's possible, but it's just as likely to me that the unprofessional kids they have working just want to do less work so they say "cash only" because their manager isn't there to tell them otherwise. Let's be honest, I don't expect much from McDonalds. But I do expect more from living human beings in a workplace. If they were dead, this level of activity would be a lot more understandable, considering the employees that were not dead would have to do more work and step over decaying bodies. read more

Don't go to this location. Orders are rarely correct. Service has gone down down hill. Manager on duty this evening seemed confused about who ordered what or who she had just given the incorrect order to. There's a McD east at Rt 79.west at Rt256 or north on Rt16. read more

This place is awesome I would totally recommend coming to McDonald's stuff is nice and great service and I would like to thank them for a great time the burgers are delightful the fries are cooked to perfection and the pies are delicious I really love coming to McDonald's when there's no place else to go like great place to go read more

One of the rudest, sarcastic person I've ever run into was taking the payment yesterday evening ~5:15 PM at this Etna, Ohio location. We got one large and one small Cold Brew Frozen Coffee. An older woman that when I wanted to check my order and check my change, said, it's all there sir plus other smart remarks beside that... She needs to retire or fired. read more

It's straight ghetto in this mcdonalds. The assistant manager Sabrina will scream and argue with you.. Great customer service mcdonalds. I wouldn't expect anything different that's why I avoid McDonald's read more

Sat at the microphone for 15 minutes, all while the microphones were live inside. Shouldn't talk so foul on the mic with customers waiting to order. Well after all that time waiting I pulled up to the first mic, there are two, so the 7 cars behind me wouldn't have to wait so long. Once again told to wait, then helped the guy behind me first even after I heard him say The guy in front of him pulled up and was first. Needless to say we didn't wait any longer and got a nasty look from the girl at the window. Hey McDonald's go check out In-n-out Burger and maybe you will see why you're falling off in profits. read more

It's McDonald's. What more can u say? My food is usually hot when I get it but unfortunately, my problem here is with the service. It's filled with what seems to be high school employees and evidently they all know one another. With that being said, professionalism is out the door. There are plenty of times that my order has been incorrect simply because they're in the kitchen playing around and not paying attention to what they're supposed to be doing. I grew up in McDonald's, my mother was a GM and an owner for years, so I grew up with intimate knowledge of the policies and the procedures that are SUPPOSED to be adhered to. This one fails miserably. The only reason that I frequent this one is it's the closest to my house. If I had a better choice, I go to the one further in Pataskala or Reynoldsburg. read more

I don't know if it does any good to actually complain about a McDonald's since I've never been to one that is constantly good, but this one is constantly awful. The place is a disgusting mess always and the service is terrible as well as the food. Nevertheless I let my kids pick tonight so we went there. The girl working at the counter was eating an ice cream cone while taking orders! She actually had to ask another employee to hold it for her so she could give me my change. There was even a manager present and she didn't say anything to this girl who just licked away on her ice cream cone while taking orders. This just doesn't seem right to me? read more

I ordered a cheeseburger meal. The staff was very nice. The order was correct. But the food was bad. The cheeseburger and fries were not even lukewarm. The bun was not fresh. read more

Worst McDonalds on this planet. Service is absolutely unacceptable. A bunch of kids who visit more with each other than they wait on customers. Always seems to be in a state of utter chaos. I've been there twice in a month recently just after 11:00pm and they were closed for maintenance. Tonight I called before I went, and the kid who answered the phone told me that they're actually closed. I asked, "even the drive through?" He said, "yes even the drive through... We are under staffed and don't have enough people to keep the drive thru opened." Unbelievable!!! After reading some of the other reviews... I'm guessing that no one from corporate reads these comments or they just don't care how their locations operate! read more

Worse service I've had in any state. Waited 10 minutes in the drive they just to be told when I got to the window that they were only taking cash during the night shift. Probably to line their own pockets. What fast food restaurant does not take credit card!?! read more

I wouldn't normally waste my time writing a review for a fast food restaurant, however my experience was so bad I had to. I waited 15 minutes to receive a cheeseburger, fries and a diet coke. I received a reg. coke, fries that were beyond stale and a cheeseburger that had more mayo than burger or bread. When I took my order back to ask for a refund , the manager did not offer a replacement or an apology. The service industry is a joke nowadays! read more
