This is for the Waynesville location: Edited 1/16/26: Responses to reviews are generic. No direct contact is made unless you escalate the issue. Edited 1/17/26: I received an email from Audrey Woods, Director of Operations for the owners (Weinbaums) of McDonald's Waynesville. The response was hostile in tone, reinforcing my concerns about a toxic work environment. I followed up to ask why I was blocked from the business's social media page after making a simple inquiry and to address the lack of communication and follow thru on her part. I attempted several times to reach someone from corporate regarding an incident that occurred at your Waynesville McDonald's location and wanted to follow up in writing. I went through the drive-thru to purchase a meal (11/9/24), and my card was charged for another customer's order. I informed the employee that this was not okay and requested that my card be refunded and the transaction reprocessed correctly for my actual order. Another staff member then came to the window and stated that a refund was unnecessary because the difference was only a "few cents". I explained that for transaction and record-keeping purposes, and based on being a business owner with extensive business experience, I preferred that my card be refunded and the correct transaction completed. I asked for her name, which she stated was Ann Horsey. At that point, the interaction escalated by your management Ann. The employee became hostile, closed the drive-thru window, used profanity directed at me and about me, yelling and screaming at staff and myself. She created a visibly hostile environment for the staff present and me as a customer. I was later handed a receipt very rudely after I asked for a full refund. I was then aggressively instructed to pull forward to the first window. I stated that due to the abusive incident, I was requesting a refund for the entire meal as I did not want that meal any longer. Staff was hostile again and insisted I pull forward while also stating that I had already received a refund on the original transaction, though no such refund appeared on my account. Eventually, an employee came outside to issue the refund. I recorded the interaction so there would be an accurate record of what occurred. The video is approximately five minutes long and is too large to send via messenger on Facebook, but I would be happy to email it to you for review if you would like. Additionally, yesterday I tried to reach out about this incident via McDonalds Waynesville social media page. I was blocked from the Waynesville McDonald's Facebook business page the next day. As a customer this is appalling to have customer grievances go purposely ignored. I want to be clear that I have never had any issues at this McDonald's location before. This was my first experience of this nature, which is why I felt it was important to bring it to your attention. I would like to know if any disciplinary actions has been taken for the November 2024 incident because scrolling through my news feed on Facebook to see her being praised was unsettling after what I personally experienced with her at your establishment. I have submitted formal complaints with corporate McDonald's, both owners to their messengers on Facebook, Scott Cone (General Manager) via messenger on Facebook and the Missouri Attorney Generals Office. read more

McDonald's - Fast Food Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Floor is perpetually covered in a thin film of grease. On a rainy day, it is all one can do to not slip and fall. What happened to the days when the first line of the jingle was "Grab a bucket and mop."? read more

Can't say this is a safe place to eat. I know it's fast food, however, there's a basic food safety standard that exists for a reason. I have severe food poisoning from this location that's been verified by my medical doctor. Definitely skip this option. read more

McDonald's - a receipt on a table - Fast Food Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

See all

This location constantly closes early without notice. Will refuse to fulfill mobile orders.

This is without a doubt the worst McDonald's in the world. I have been to multiple McDonald's within the states and other countries and this is no doubt the worst. If I could give this McDonald's zero stars, I would. I have lived here for three years now and over the course of that time, I would say that 70% to 80% of my orders are always wrong and even when they try to fix them on the spot, they still get it wrong. Today after speaking with McDonald's corporate a couple of days ago, we were offered a free meal there. We decided to take them up on their offer and the free meal ended up being wrong (Big Surprise) and we found a long curly hair in the salad. This place needs to be burned down so that we can replace it with something else. read more

McDonald's - a person holding a piece of lettuce - Fast Food Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Overall the food is as good as McDonald's food generally is. The establishment is usually clean and MOST of the employees are polite. There is an older woman that works at the drive thru window that is rude as heck. Every single encounter I have had with her has been negative. She is short and snippy no matter how you greet her. I really don't understand what is going on and I always try to keep an open mind but I really dread when I see her at the window. I hope someone above her sees this and moves her to an area where she has less interaction with the public. She's a real downer. read more

I have to say I was extremely happy with the night shift came in a 345 asked if I could please walk through the drive trough when told her why she looked at my truck allowed me to came in order my food they were great and nice food was hot and fresh .as I was leaving with my food I thanked them and said I appreciate them they also say d thank u driver be safe we appreciate u just those small things they did made my day thank u read more

McDonald's - Parking lot above md - Fast Food Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

First of all I'd like to start off by saying that there was a hair in my McFlurry, I'm fine with just calling it a loss but I also had two pisses off children In my backseat because they managed to give them the wrong toys after we had specified they were for boys. I'm all for saving the turtles but not when it's at the expense of my children complaining all the way home because we weren't given straws. In addition, you would think with a busy drive thu line that the fries would be fresh but they we're definitely cold and soggy. I would 16/10 agree that this experience was like ordering food at the dmv. You'd honestly get better food and service digging out of their dumpster. I mean rather than telling us they didn't have Diet Dr Pepper they decided to mix Diet Coke and Dr Pepper together and hope we wouldn't notice rather than ask for an alternative. read more

I'm not sure if it was just the stars aligning, but this location is the best MCds we've ever been too. The staff was amazing! One lady even brought me out a bag to sit on outside (because seating inside is closed) and I'm in white shorts. Totally out of the blue. That was so nice. 6-27-21 read more

Five minutes to get my food then I get told to pull forward and wait for my drink. After a 10 minute wait I finally had to go inside to get my Dr Pepper. This is the craziest thing ever! read more

For the last 2 yrs, I would go there, and try to order a apple pie, all to find out I would have to drive 5 miles down the road in waynesville to get them, I have asked many times why? This isn't a item that takes a lot of work to have ready, for people to get, no shortages on apple pies, almost every time I go there, I'm told, they haven't been put in the oven. So in 730 days, i have been able to get them there about 10 times, I ask almost every time why, I know some of the people that work there, and theyhave tried to make sure I could get them when I want one.. but that didn't even work. read more

If you want to find an untrained and rude staff, this is the place for that. I ordered food for the family and asked for ketchup. All he gave me was 3 packets and didn't want to give me more. I asked for more and he said that's all I get. Who knew there was a ketchup shortage. I left the drive thru in a grumpy mood. One I got to the hotel room and gave everyone their food, I realized that they didn't give me any of the sauces for the nuggets. Went all the way back and walked in with my receipt in hand. I told the female at the front and she looked at the receipt and me like I asked for the secret ingredients to the secret sauce.. it's not rocket science people.. She looked around the front for someone to help her figure out what to do.. The assistant manager helped out and got me what I needed. One star for the food being warm. But you all need to work on manners, courtesy and just plain, good old fashion customer service.. by the way, we were from out of town and it reflects on the restaurant and the city.. read more

This store cannot figure out mobile orders to save their lives. Have had to cancel several orders or wait forever to get what I ordered.

Lousy Drive Through Service! They switched employees 3 times and 4 vehicles went ahead of us on the double drive through. I am hoping this is just an off day for them, but for now, this is how I feel. Big read more

Well if you want your meal delivered by an hypothetical addict with sores all over their skin, then this is the place for you! We promptly threw our food into the trash as soon as we returned to holiday inn down the street. I'm sure there are servers there that aren't in this condition, but I'm not willing to wait to find out! read more

A good amount of seating, very friendly staff, fast service, and the meals are up to standards of McDonalds. They do have a RedBox machine outside of their restaurant; which is awesome to me! read more

Extremely disappointed in this location. We have been to this Mc Donald's a few times and our order was always wrong. But I mean it's Mc Donald's, no big deal right? Today my kids and I came in for Halloween and had the worst customer service ever. My order was wrong. When I asked them to make it right, (after waiting for someone to help me 10 minutes later)by simply replacing the meat that was missing.. I was yelled at and accused of lying by the line staff. I was told my order would not be fixed because my toddler at my food while I was waiting for someone to assist me. Then I went to get my receipt and showed the manager that my order was wrong, she told me next time they would not fix it. It took every ounce of energy to not get on the level of interaction I experienced here. It was demeaning and horrible. Not only that, my children overheard everything (they were sitting in the booths behind the registers). My kids felt horrible and it was a terrible experience. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone..... on second thought.. THANK YOU Mc Donald's IN ST ROBERT! You have officially pushed me to make better food decisions for myself and my family. Not only will I no longer come to your restaurant or drive through, I will make sure all my friends and co-workers know exactly how you treat your customers. Not only are you unappreciative, you are disrespectful and mistreat your customers. Completely disappointing. read more

Okay, this is absolutly getting rediculous. I have been to this McDonalds now 3 days in a row for 2 Lg. Ice Teas Unsweetened. Day 1 at 6pm dinner time SPOILED TEA. Day 2 at 230pm SPOILED TEA Day 3 at 12 pm Noon SPOILED TEA REALLY, I can go to Waynesville, Rolla, Lebanon, and Columbia I have never gotten Spoiled Tea from any if these locations. We clearly have some serious Management and customer service skills lacking in this McDonalds. read more

I stopped by on 16 October 2019 at 6 am and went to the drive thru.... After being greeted by the generic welcome message I waited 3 minutes and no response was received in my attempt for service. I Charles it up to possible faulty technology so I drive around the building to try another lane. After attempting the other lane meeting the same results, I left. As I drive by the building again I saw employees just standing behind the counter. So I left without spending my money at a company that doesn't know customer service. Thanks for breakfast, keep up the bang up job (sarcasm) read more

Worst service I have had in 10 years regret ever going here. they need new management

Best customer service of any McDonald's I've ever been to. EVER. I asked for an Oreo frappe and they didn't offer them at this particular McDonald's. One of the workers, who was actually on break, overheard and then went to the Mc flurry machine, got some Oreos and improvised how to make me an Oreo frappe. She literally ended her break early just to make sure I could get my Oreo frappe, which they didn't even offer here! Absolutely fantastic read more

Save your money and time and just go 10 min down the road to the next McDonald's. At this one you get incomplete orders and half full drinks. It's always a bad experience here :( read more

Ugh, worst McDonald's ever. I was at least pleasantly happy that we got the correct food, because several people in front of us didn't. It might have been because it was the morning "rush" (it wasn't actually that busy) and they have a deal set up with the Red Roof Inn next door for a free breakfast and that was apparently confusing the hell out of the people at the registers (pretty sure it wasn't that new of an offer) and no one seemed happy to be there, customers or the employees behind the counter. I'll be certain to get my english muffin at the Fort Leonard Wood exit directly before this one during my I-44 road trips. Yikes. read more

Got home after ordering cook to order double chesseburger and fries and the cheese was dry and fries were not hot. Second time this occur this place beginning to suck read more

Seriously!?!? You can't get a Big Mac right? I first tried to place my order via the drive through: they could not understand that I wanted two burgers, so they made two separate orders. Really. I get back to my hotel and open the "two" bags and find that the Big Mac lacked the second burger altogether. That's right, Three piece of bread and one burger. Stunning, almost as if it had been done on purpose. Well I'm only here for two weeks and I will not be going back! read more

Thought it was great with the upgrade, unfortunately it takes more than refreshing the decor and adding touchscreen order platforms to improve the quality of this McDonalds. Sucks...workers are clueless and would rather carry on meaningless conversations than work...yep, wrote this while waiting for a simple chicken McNuggets and cheeseburger order. Waited 10mins when the food was already prepared and just needed to be put on a tray and handed to me. read more

I ordered a large caramel mocha at about 840. It was busy. But there is no reason I should get little more than half of my cup with coffee. It didn't even taste like usual. read more

Rude staff, slow, food is.. well its McDonald's. I was interested in the after midnight breakfast menu and I got there at 11:55 PM and by the time I got my food it was 12:08 AM. Seriously? They told me I couldn't order breakfast food yet but they still had to make all my food "fresh" anyways. Most of the staff are drug users as well. It's disgusting. I really don't want those people touching my food. read more
