I have a love/hate relationship with this restaurant. 1st the good... the AM crew is very nice and helpful, food is consistently good, and this is one of the ONLY McDonalds in our area with a play place still and it's usually pretty clean. Now the bad... The location is good, but for some reason there are always homeless and random people using the internet not even eating taking up the restaurant. I don't really feel safe with my kids going there without me. The parking lot is small and hard to get in and out (especially when the drive thru line is long). The lunch and dinner staff is much slower and seem to make a lot of mistakes. This is most notable in the drive thru. It's about 50/50 whether it's correct. Luckily 99% of the time they make you pull up or park instead of just giving us the food to trick their timer to show faster speeds than they actually provide. This causes more staff so they can run food out. Then I get the exercise of coming back in to get missing items. Pretty normal routine at this place. So bottom line. Go for breakfast ONLY and sit inside, but keep an eye on your belongings. Enjoy! read more

staff is bitchy AS FUCKKKK,,, almost all of them are hella rude and yell at teenagers for no real reason! fries are usually cold and the food is almost never cooked fully.... sometimes its good sometimes its not. place is dirty asf anyway there are a FEW workers i do love and respect and they are angels but the managers and boss is a stuck up bitch!!! i hate them!!! nighty nighty kiddos read more

Fries & drink good The McCrispy Chicken does not look appealing. 1 is definitely more nugget size not a strip! Very disappointed. For $12 I expect to not be disappointed with the main portion of the meal. read more

The service is horrible. I went there with my brother for breakfast and I ordered at the kiosk thing cause I know they take their time coming to take an order. My brother Was waiting for over 5 minutes for his order to be taken while employees are looking right at him. So he left before they even took his order. That's outrageous . where'd customer service go ? read more

Complete scam. Given half of what I order either due to greed or laziness. Last time I buy anything other than a drink here. read more

Went to the drive thru this morning and ordered a steak bagel ( No toppings) and small coke. Had to wait for the girl to get a drawer to make change. Received my order: A large Coke and a bagel with nothing on it including the steak! This place has to be one of the worst McDonalds ever. read more

Every single time I come to this store I never have an issue with waiting for my items but every time I come here the issue seems to be that everything is cold, fries never ever have any salt on them even when they're fresh. This isn't the only issue I've had with this McDonald's just one of the main issues. read more

Pulled up to the window at 00:40 with NO ONE in line (behind us or in front of us) and a woman came on the intercom and said "we are only taking mobile online orders because we are short staffed" we pull around and there are FOUR PEOPLE SITTING DOWN WITH A HEAD SET ON STARING AT US??! Like they sat there but couldn't do their job lol. Gross. read more

Came here to get 2 kids meals, ordered them and pulled up to window to get food, got food and guy asked us to pull forward to wait for our drinks... after 2 other cars had gotten their food and left and we had sat there for a few minutes, a guy in a tan hoodie and slides runs out and goes "what are you waiting for?" And I was like "our drinks?" So he runs back in, we wait another 3 minutes and at this point I back up to the drive through window and he said "what are you waiting for?" And I was like ?? "Our drinks?" Turns to the associate eating chicken nuggets and goes "guys she reversed back to the window" and then proceeds to give me one medium and one large drink? I got kids meals. Never been so confused. Not to mention both fries in the kids meals were cold AND they forgot the sauce for the nuggets meal. read more

The orders are never right or fresh and now I have been there twice before 11:30 (THE NEW BREAKFAST HOURS!!!!!!!!) and they haven't had breakfast. read more

The last three times I visited Pataskla McDonalds I have been ask to pull ahead while my mear was being prepared. On all three occasions I pulled forward, waited at least five minutes and had to walk inside to get my order. Today there was only one vehicle ahead of me. I ordered six sausage burritos, three sausage biscuits and one ice cream cone. I was asked to pull forward and wait for the ice cream cone. After five minutes I walked inside, waited several more minutes to talk to a manager. I eat at McDonalds regularly and never have these problems. Extremely poor customer service. read more

The absolute worst McDonald's that I have ever been to!!!! I went inside today to order 2 plain hamburgers for my dogs. I waited over 5 minutes and it was not even lunch time When I asked for my back because this is ridiculous, the manager on duty said, we are busy you know! I said, yes and you are fast food!!!! This is the last time that I will go there The counter help does just, after your order, they stand there There was nothing a women just watching things and informing the staff that there was no tea in the lobby! Hey maybe you do something!!! This McDonald's is horrible it is no wonder that my husband drives out of his way every morning to a different McDonald's for breakfast 07/17/2020 still the worst place to get fast food! My fries were cold and we had to pull forward to wait for our food! Why do I keep going to this hole??? read more

I travel a lot and frequent McDonalds all over Ohio, N. KY and central IN. At least 3-4 x per week. It pains me to say this since I live here but I truly believe this could be in the running for the worst store in the country. I can't get started as it would pages... virtually everything is below standard. Do yourself a favor and find another location. read more

Talk about a one star McDonald's! This is the McDonald's in town where I live. Every visit is not pleasant! The service is sad, the employees here are in and out and none of them seem to enjoy their lives. Don't be surprised if the order is incorrect in some form or another. Usually the managers are nice about messed up orders on the plus side. If you can, do yourself a favor and go to any other McDonald's read more

You're more than likely going to have an item missing, wrong size, or just old food if they somehow manage to get it correct. You'll never leave this location going "man that's how it's done!" Something is always wrong. Good luck! read more

I went through the drive thru and placed an order. My total came to $14 and change. They ran my card and told me it didn't work. They proceeded to attempt the card again bc I told them it was a cashapp card, which had $25 on it. Specifically for my sons McDonald's. They ran it again saying it still wouldn't go through. I had to pay with cash. At the time I didn't have notifications on my phone. When I got home.. it did indeed charge my card BOTH times. I paid for ONE order 3 times! I went back the next day to attempt to get that $25 back and they did absolutely nothing for me. I then tried to dispute from cash app but they said they could do it, that I had to go to the company to get it back. And they did nothing as well. There have been other times where I've bought my family food and they've smashed everything in the bag so full that it's bottomed out. They forget food and sauce all the time and mess up orders frequently. However, it is STILL better than the East broad street Columbus location. read more

Very inconsistent hours. Leave all the lights on like they are open. Several times waited at the drive thru spreaker which was also lit only to find they were close. Never know when you go if they are able to credit cards Just one of the very poorly ran mcdonalds I have been to read more

Been to 46 states. Worst McDonald's I've ever been to. Ok, the bar is not real high for these guys so they should be able to clear it.

Play place is always clean. We come in the afternoon to let the kids play. The afternoon staff are always friendly. :) read more

This is really a hit or miss. Breakfast is usually a hit because I believe they do a much better breakfast business than lunch. Although the last couple of times we have gone there for lunch we have gotten really hot fries. read more

McDonald's - a man sitting at a table with a plate of food - Fast Food Near Me - Pataskala, Ohio

Read the reviews folks. I'm glad to see it's not just my imagination. This is the slowest McDonald's on the planet. You won't see anybody hustling. Early-morning when people are trying to get to work, they're just they're just taking their sweet time. There's no urgency. Half the time they don't even get around to turning their sign on till late morning. If you're in a hurry, stay away from this McDonald's. And this is consistent, not just a one time deal. read more

Horrible. Cold food rude staff and i swear to god it takes like 30 minutes to get through the drive thru

Need to get better service. Breakfast is usually good. Love their Carmel frappes . The people are friendly but the food is not always prepared the best read more

If it was possible to give zero stars to this McDonald's I would. Just went through the drive through and tried to place an order the person couldn't hear me so I decided to go inside. I was standing there waiting for my order and watching a drive thru employee bag an order, she dropped a bag on the floor and instead of throwing it away she put it in the customers bag on top of the food that was already in there. I asked her if she was going to give that food to the customer and she just looked at me and headed to the window. I told her that was f**ked up I'm not eating here and walked out. Service at this McDonald's is terriible no matter what time of day you go there and if they don't care to pick up food off the floor and give it to someone when they are being watched I can just imagine what happens when no one is looking. read more

this mcdonald's is probably the worst i've ever been to. the girl at the first window is too busy on her phone and to me it seems like her phone is her main priority over taking customers money. i waited almost 12 mins in line just trying to get my food. i don't recommend this mcdonald's read more

I like this location of McDonalds. The food is always fresh, fries crisp and the employees seem to at least not hate their jobs and want to die like some fast food locations employees seem to. read more

I don't know how this place stays open. Just took 10 minutes with over a dozen teenagers in the kitchen to get one kids meal and only 2 customers in front of me. The bathroom was without toilet paper and a woman notified the cashier and the cashier handed the toilet paper to her over the counter instead of offering to fill it herself or get one of the dozen coworkers to fill it. It's also a normal occurrence that I walk up to the cashier and they just stare at you. What ever happened to "Hi, can I take your order? And thank you when they give you the tray of food." Seems the management doesn't teach that any more. Sad! read more

Stopped in for breakfast Tuesday morning about 6:40 and the location wasn't that busy. Waited at the counter for 6 minutes before finally giving up. Several times managers came over but never even greated me. I finally gave up and left, guess customer service doesn't matter. This is the worst location, I've always had to recheck even the simplest order because often it's wrong. With my last experience, I'm not going to even waste my time at this location anymore. If you want to avoid the frustration, I suggest you just go to a different location too! read more

I have been to this McDonalds several times and the service there is getting worse and worse. At this point, it is the worst I have ever been at. Very slow service. Never hear a Thank you. Very poor customer awareness and service read more

I like it because it has an indoor play area for my daughter.

Worst place ever. Always slow service today I got a half of hamburger on my Big Mac open my grandson 4 PC chicken nuggets there was only 2

Horrible experience after going there for over 2 years when in a hurry. Ordered a chicken nugget meal and they did not add fries and the black manager in the maroon shirt was completely rude when I went inside. She ignored me and then proceeded to add a crap ton of salt and handed me my fries without even looking at me or apologizing. She should not be in this food business when she has 0 customer service. ABSOLUTELY RUDE and can't get an order right when you go through the drive thru! read more

Dont waste your time here. They will waste yours with cold food and rude service.. Gave them a last chance today.. Need new mangers in there asap or to shut down. read more

This McDonald's is just awful all together. Every time me and my girlfriend visit, the service on the inside is way too slow and the workers aren't very nice. I've quit going on their website to complain because nothing has ever been done about it. I highly recommend that you prepare yourself for slow, aggravating service if you visit this McDonald's. read more

There was piss all over the toilet seat and there wasn't a changing table for my child.

The nastiest mcdonalds i have ever eaten at.. i dont know where they find some of the people that work their. Not friendly bathrooms nasty and the service sucks. I don't recommend this place to anyone. I wouldn't even let my dog eat there. read more

Soooooo slow in the lobby. Every single visit. Waited 15 minutes for 2 drinks after bringing it to their attention.

This McDonalds just updated the store recently. It looks very nice, but thats about where it ends. Dining in is a painful experience due to the half dead cashiers at the almost vacant front counter. Expect a long line, teenagers that could care less about you or the food, and sometimes a show from the managers snapping at them due to mistakes etc. I am usually surprised at how unorganized the front end is there. They seem to put 99.99% of thier focus on the drive thru and the rest on you. It is embarrassing to watch them. Don' t expect much from this place. read more
