I must say, I very much enjoyed my midnight trip to McDonald's on Forbes. You could tell the employees really cared about making the customer happy. The gentlemen who waited on me put an immense amount of effort into my caramel frappé making it perfect. He even brought some humor! The food was prepared quickly, and much to my happiness, was extremely warm and fresh-tasting. They took the extra step to organize my friend's nuggets into a classy array. It was in fact this effort that motivated me to write this review. My McDonald's loyalty has now been shifted to Forbes. Smiles, quick service, and extra touches that let you know you're a valued customer. read more

McDonald's - Phenomenal nugget placement - Fast Food Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This shit was absolute dogshit. Took about 2 hours to get 10 measly mcnugs that are probably made out of horse meat. Ambiance was ass floor sticky as fuck and smelled like shit in there. Nuke this place off the map. read more

1.22.2026 Picked up a mobile order packaged by Mcdonalds. They put the drink in a paper bag and taped the bag up. By the time I reached my destination. A large cup of drink was spilled and leaking from inside the bag. The entire bag of food had to be thrown away. read more

Most pathetic McDonald's ever they are all very rude dirty the manager needs fired right away terrible service would rather eat any where else horrible I wish I could rate it even lower than a one read more

its open late. inside kinda dirty & the workers are overworked / hella busy so takes some courage to stop them to ask for sauce. swear i saw someone try to take someone else's doordash read more

It's a McDonalds. But it's a pretty decent one. Usually very crowded during the school year, but not as much in the summer. I like how you can pay cash at the kiosks you order from because so many other places make it card-only at the kiosks. It's pretty small inside so there usually isn't much space to eat or wait for your order. Overall this McDonalds is good and in a convenient location and I'm here probably more often than I should be. read more

me and my dearest friend order mcdonald's and noticed the forgot to add her honey mustard sauce. i find that very unacceptable for someone to eat their food without any sauce that is just unpleasant. it ruins our whole meal. read more

Just updating to add that there are now no loitering signs all over the restaurants -- eat your food and get out, 15 minute maximum. Nobody's enforced it because you wait so long for the food, but still. The upstairs has been closed off and they moved the napkins table in front of the bathroom so nobody can go in. I don't really understand why this McDonald's seems so aggressive towards its customers. I get that they're open late in a college/high school neighborhood and probably get lots of shenanigans, but there are plenty of other places open late in Oakland that deal with the same and don't seem to hate their customers. So if you want that McCrispy, go in. Just be prepared to eat and get going. read more

Finally re-opened and now have less seating and have totally shut off the ability to use mobile deals, so it's not even worth going to.

Waited over an hour for a Big Mac and fries. Had ab 20+ people who ordered after me get there order before me and the employees did not gaf.

I never got my food and I waited 50 minutes for two fish sandwiches, one of the slowest McDonald ever

Not the best service workers are incredibly mean. The cheeseburgers are soggy, the chicken nuggets are soggy. Geek never have good toys in the happy meals. The squishmallows are never good quality, and they never, have you always get the same toy over and over again. read more

Food was ok, regular mcdonald. However, lady giving out orders gave too much attitude even when we had been waiting for over an hour due to an error in their systems. She would not even hear me for the first 30 minutes I was trying to ask where it had been. read more

I would rather drink straight motor oil than eat something from here. The workers also have a crazy attitude whenever you ask them for anything. read more

Do not come here. Usually fast food places are pretty efficient near campuses and can get slow, but this place really deserves first place for staff (and a night manager) who does not respond to questions like -are you taking orders right now? -do in-person orders stop after a certain hour? -excuse me, are there any cashiers tonight? The answers are no, yes, and no. According to a sophomore (bless you, sophomore), you HAVE to order through the McDonald's app after 10 pm. The wait is awful, even for one order of fries. read more

possibly the worst mcdonald's in existence. over the years i've had my order cancelled the moment i walk in the door on multiple occasions. the employees there are so lazy. today i ordered breakfast on the app at 10:16 and i get inside the building, open my app, and "order cancelled". mcdonald's is not a place where i usually worry about service because it's not hard to just give me what i payed for but this one just can't seem to do that. read more

It's a McDonald's in a college town. It works. Make sure to mobile order to get what you want timely. Food as normal. Workers seem mad but they get ur food made. read more

Everyone always seems angry but it's a McDonalds. The food is fine. The music is always an entertainingly weird mix. It's cheap. It kept me alive for a while, lol. read more

I have grown up with this Mcdonald's in this area and maybe around 2021, it really went to crap. There were two separate times I was treated poorly and that is what stopped me from coming. I am neurodivergent, and with that comes trouble with auditory processing. I went in to order, and I asked the cashier to repeat. she instead yelled at me, and when my order got called, she yelled even LOUDER, which made me extremely overstimulated. because of that experience, I have a permanent inability to order verbally, and i think it contributed to why i'm situationally mute. The second time, some time later, when I decided to give the place one last chance, I put a mobile order in and was polite, like always. I went up to grab my order and it was nearly thrown at me. read more

it was okay but not a fan of mcdonalds in general but you always get the same experience when you go there..

Nice location, rating mostly for the dine-in area. Free Wi-Fi, nice drink and fountain options, good view from upper level onto Forbes. Really appreciated that they had AC and WiFi when I moved here during summer a few years ago haah. Otherwise seems good. Classic McDonald's, no drive in but to be expected as no restaurants in this area will given location. read more

Waited 30 min in line they didn't take one order, no music, bad attitude, and they prioritized doordash over actual customers, food was good it's a McDonald's read more

HORRIBLE. I was eating and found 3 hairs in my cheeseburger??? You guys gotta fix your shit because what the fuck is that.

I waited over AN HOUR AND A HALF for my DoorDash order. I tried calling the store multiple times and no one answered. TERRIBLE service I will NOT be ordering from here again and I advise you not to. read more

I'm not the best person to ask an opinion about when it comes to McDonalds. In fact I hate it. I quit eating it about ten years ago, that is until someone decided that after they took my order for Burger King and they weren't open that they would run here to get food. LAME. I wasn't going to be fussy and have a tantrum like a little kid, so I caved and let them bring me food from here. I can guarantee that I ate it like a two year old kid. I picked at it, played with it, complained about it, and if I could have, I would have fed it to a dog. However, I view that as animal cruelty. I give them kudos for attempting to be festive and mix the grease with leafy greens, but it still comes down to that nasty grease they fry everything in. That's all my tongue sensed. I hated the food and then myself later that night as I made many trips to the bathroom, cursing each time. Remember, beggars can't be chooser. So when it comes to McDonalds, panhandle elsewhere. read more

McDonald's - people walking down the street in front of a mcdonald's - Fast Food Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I don't know about food quality because the only thing i order here is the fudge sundae. However, this place has, without a doubt, the surliest laziest staff of any restaurant I've ever been. The staff love to stand around and talk to each other. Waiting on customers -- not so much. read more

I ordered extra crispy chicken in crispy chicken burger, but they forgot to include that in the burger. :( so 2 dollars just goes away because of that read more

I'm not saying the food was not good but the attitude of the idiot who made my drink was all mess up. Instead of just remaking my drink that I paid for extra caramel for it he just added to the watery mess. I'm good won't be back. I hope they enjoy the mess from that drink after I toss it in trash half of the drink is on the floor for him to clean read more

This place really sucks the cashier is on her phone while there's a line ready to order! And I don't don't mind how people do there jobs but this workers are the worst they need a new crew ASAP!!! read more

Rude, inconsiderate service. Ignoring customers that stand in line. Moving very slowly. Simple orders take over 10 min. Hand hygiene and general cleanliness of facility is atrocious. read more

food made me shit for 2 weeks. service was horrible, the girl gave me rock hard fries and a melted ice cream and got mad when i told her my ice cream is melted. she used her pinky finger as a ear swab then proceeded to touch fries. god knows where else that fingers been. if you've been constipated this for the place for you. ambiance was so crowded. seeing there was 15 people lined up to pick up online orders. read more

Pretty much like most urban McDonald's. Decent service, the food just as you expect it. I just got a cheeseburger and the $1 large sweet tea to get out of the heat and work on my computer. The store wasn't the cleanest when I was there. WiFi was very fast but outlets hard to find. read more

I went to this location at approximately 5pm on Sunday 10/10/2021. As I walked into the restaurant I was told by the employee that they only were doing app orders. No other customers were in there so I left and went to Starbucks to get my coffee. I found out later that this location did take walk in orders apparently I was just in the wrong line. I don't understand why the employee couldn't have told me I was in the wrong line. Poor customer service and a bad impression on an out of town visitor. read more

TL;DR - Unsanitary conditions - do not eat here. Long version: I ordered two $1 sandwiches and two $1 large drinks last night (receipt says the transaction occurred at 9:57 PM). The cashier wiped her mouth with her right hand, and began panicking because she tasted something disgusting on her hand. She began licking her shirt to wipe off her tongue and proceeded to wiper her mouth again with her other hand as well. She was in the direct line-of-sight of the store manager and other employees (who were loudly joking and cussing at the time). I figured that, while this was unprofessional, this would probably not be a big deal because surely someone else would make my drinks or she would surely wash her hands or put on gloves before handling food. I was incorrect. The cashier, within close proximity to the store manager, proceeded to grab two drink cups, held them by their rims with her fingers touching the inside of the cups, and made the drinks I ordered for myself and my wife. The manager, seeing this go down, did not intervene. Once filled, she then placed the cups on the counter. Needless to say, I threw those cups away. I called corporate this morning. They said the owner's association in charge of that McDonald's should likely be calling me in the future (but this is the third time I have made a complaint against a McDonald's in Pittsburgh and no one has ever contacted me). Additionally, for some reason Pittsburgh's McDonald's has the least professional workers of any McDonald's I have been to. I have eaten at three different locations (East Liberty, Oakland, Downtown) and not-once was the place operated well (i.e., there were unsanitary conditions or unprofessional staff at all locations). If these kinds of things are not dealt with when they occur in front of customers and the store manager, I can only begin to wonder about what else is going on behind the scenes; what other sanitation issues occur out of customer's views? I was also not offered a refund or replacement for the two drinks that were ruined by the unsanitary worker. DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

Inside is filthy and I had to wait an hour for a sandwich and fries haha. Place is clearly understaffed, hard to blame the employees.

I just went to thisMcDonald in Pittsburgh PA on Forbes Ave and ordered a McDouble. After leaving the store and taking a bite from the burger, I immediately realized something did not taste right. Upon further inspection and realization, I noticed the burger was not a beef patty but a sausage patty. This is concerning for me because not only is it not what I ordered, but it contains pork and I do not eat pork. read more

Where the fuck do I start? I just wanted some damn fast food, but no I had to wait so god damn long the Cubs won another World Series. Fast food my ass! Anyways, I go to order my simple order of a fucking quarter pounder and then one of the like three total employees that work there goes "Pop machine broke" Like bruh okay, so I'll get sweet tea. SWEET TEA, not whatever excuse for tea that you call that piss water you serve. Not to mention that place is dirty as fuck, I've seen whorehouses cleaner than that, damn. You probably have more rats than employees, and they could do a better job too. So I'm not going back to your shitty fucking third world ass "fast" food, if one can call it food, really--it makes school cafeterias look like gourmet fucking 5-star Michelin places. One start on this review is to god damn much if we're gonna be real fucking honest. In conclusion, fuck Forbes McDonald's. All the other ones are cool tho. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. read more
