Hate when certain locations charge for sauce cups. It's already inflated in price as is. And sauce is the only reason I even go to McDonald's Also this location has the worst vibes in the local area The one north on bee ridge of here always gets it right and gets me extra sauce cups. No charge. Never coming to this location again. McDonald's owners: don't be cheap. It's already McDonald's. read more

Understaffed and only people speaking broken English and difficult to understand. Spent 20 minutes in the drive thru. Never again.

We rarely go to fast food chains but after 2 hours of driving home in the rain, we were too tired to go to a restaurant. I craved a fish sandwich-McDonalds advertised a flaky fish filet. Sorry, it is still the same, bland, flat frozen filet. It tasted a little bitter. The fries were good; their Iced Coffee is very good. read more

All I will say is DON'T reopen sandwiches to remove pickles. Reopening of wrapped food is WRONG!! read more

Ordered on the app 10 minutes ago and have to wait in the reserved drive thru for 7 minutes more? Ba da dat dat da, not loving it. This place sucks. read more

McDonald's - 17 minutes to fill my order. You guys suck. - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The dining room was open My visit this morning was pretty good. I ordered my usual Hotcakes & Sausage with 2 syrups and found it to be very typical, the sausage flavorful, the pancakes able to soak up all that syrup, giving sweetness in every bite. So far as I knew, all the area McDonald's had their dining rooms closed, some better than others in communicating that with signs or just blocking the seating area. I saw no signage or blocked paths, so when I got my bag of food I simply went over to a table and sat down. It was quiet with only one other customer inside. I suspect people have gotten used to dining rooms being closed and don't even try to eat inside for now. Anyway, the place was clean, and they left me alone to eat. My order taker seemed less than enthused, just taking the order. I said I wanted 2 syrups and knocked off a star because once I got my food I had to go back and ask again for the second syrup. read more

McDonald's - Hotcakes & Sausage - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

If I could give this location a zero I would. I waited 40 minutes for my order after ordering from the drive thru and they still messed up theorder. The girl at the front was so incredibly incompetent it pained me. I watched at least 6 people who came after me get their order before me and no one helped when I went inside to ask for my order. read more

I really really hate to give out two stars to any business:( I understand that working in the service industry can suck at times, trust me, I've done my fair share. And employees attitude can really make a break a visit with a business. This location really has to work on trying to up the positivity, and define for them what customer service should look like. The whole visit, from the loudspeaker upon parking in the drive-through, until the third window pulling away with my food, it was consistently negative, just generally angry type demeanors, (employees embodied an "I really hate being here, and I hate talking to any customer, so get out of my face etc. Quite unpleasant read more

Their mobile ordering needs to be looked at. Ordered online and the transaction confirmed, but the restaurant had no record. Manager said we'd have to reorder. The transaction hit my bank account already- so I declined to pay twice for the same food... Also, this McDonald's Does have well prepared food, but their counter staff in general are definitely not customer friendly. Sad, because it puts a definite damper to be handed food with disgruntled, unhappy staff. read more

Food was fine the cashier was a little hard to understand an couldn't count back change all in all just use a debit card

Worst McDonalds ever! Highschool cashier told us we can enter the lobby to order and use bathrooms but then door is locked. We're standing outside in the heat with little children and manager refuses to open the door. Lame excuse of COVID being used to limit services. read more

McDonald's - Terrible service! - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The worst McDonalds I've been too. Somehow they can't get the bun or English muffins right. It's always dry and burned tasting. I've gone back 3 times to this location because it was convenient and I really thought that it was a fluke at first. Twice for sausage egg McMuffins and once for a Big Mac. It is also extremely busy with limited parking. Once I had to use mobile ordering and park in those spaces because nothing else was available. read more

We went through the drive-thru to get a McPlant- plant based burger. This McDonalds didn't have it. However it was odd that the person talking in the mic said she had never even heard of it. Doesn't McDonald's even train their staff on the upcoming items? I guess they're too worried about selling their "pig pieces and parts" McRib instead. read more

Super small Mcds. It has the self ordering and self serve soda machines. Ordered a sweet tea and Mac Jr. the latter took 10 minutes to be prepared and they put far too much sauce on it and was dry as anything. read more

It's McDonald's. What do you expect. I've let my expectations go at this point. You get what you pay for.

Worst McD's ever! The workers are unbelievably rude and annoyed to be at work. My husband and I went there this morning at 10:15 to have breakfast and they locked the doors and said no one is allowed inside. The line in the drive-through was 8 cars deep on both sides so we only wanted to run in and grab a breakfast sandwich and leave. They wouldn't let us in. We went to Starbucks next door and had excellent service. read more

ordered a quarter pounder with no cheese, but they gave me no cheese one pickle no mustard and three small pieces of onions- but their ice cream machine worked read more

McDonald's - quarter pounder - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This McDonalds is privately owned by Bob and Joan Davies. I'm a big fan of this McDonalds because it is well managed and maintained much better than the non-privately owned. Also since it is privately owned, it is not 24 hours. There is also Free Wi-Fi at this location. Dining room and Drive-thru hours: Mon - Thurs 5am to 12am Fri - Sat 5am to 12am (1am for drive-thur) Sun 6am to 12am I like how the dining room has the current and modern look. Making my dining experience an enjoyable one. The staff and manager are friendly, even to my requests like unsalted fries. There is outdoor seating and plenty of parking spaces. read more

Stopped on the way home from Florida to Nashville. It was about 5:30am & we pulled into the drive thru. We ordered 2 sausage biscuits & 2 sausage burritos. We pulled around to the first window & the guy said the total was 11 dollars. I questioned if that was the right price, seeing how each item we ordered was I the dollar menu. The employee looked it over & then said it was $4.60. I'm glad I said something otherwise I would've paid 11 bucks. The sausage biscuit was very fresh, the biscuit was hot. The sausage burrito was also fresh, & it didn't have those annoying hard bits at the end of the burrito. read more

Was extremely surprised by the warmly welcome from the staff and hostess manager.food was fresh . Clean restaurant

The worst location in Sarasota! My last 3 visits have produced the wrong orders & burned, yes, beyond burned Big Mac patties. No one is at the helm at this location. I am D*O*N*E! read more

Drive through is usually busy, but the lines move quickly. Rarely have an issue, my food is always hot, orders are correct, and the employees are friendly. read more

Usually is pretty good about curbside... but currently going on waiting 25 minutes... wtf. it's 11pm and not busy...

This place has many issues but the manager was probably the worst did curbside nearly 1/2 hour later I finally left, brought out partial order forgot items then waited 10 min for an apple pie while food in car got cold, manager acted as it was my problem that they ran out of apple pies remade my food and then gave me the original apple pies instead of the hot ones read more

What can I say McDonald's it's good food fast bite fast eats good place gave it a five-star because when you're hungry you got to eat quick

This place has disco-like music blasting at 6 in the morning. Not the place to go for a quiet cup of coffee. Request to at least turn the music down resulted in their "inability to do so" for whatever reason. read more

I'll give this Mcdonald's one star because the food is not something to complain about. I arrived, ordered nuggets, and asked for a cup of water. I was quickly scolded and told water cups are not provided. Quizzical, upon my arrival at the window, I asked when this procedure was implemented as I usually receive a water cup instead of a bottle without question. At this point my card was held captive and I was verbally attacked. My cashier said, "if you want to keep being a dick I do not have to charge you, and you'll get no food." I simply requested a water cup and I was accosted and thrown a water bottle. A simple, "this is company policy" would have sufficed. I realize this young man is making less than he should while trying to survive in a world that makes is darn near impossible to; however, I do not deserve the abuse. Do better, Mcdonald's. Please. read more

You've evidently gotta call first before coming here. The place was closed for breakfast three weeks ago and dinner the next week. Even the drive through was so slow as a result that people were pulling out and leaving. But the ultimate insult was that, when we reported it to management, then denied that it was closed and treated us as if we were lying about it. Evidently the staff didn't mention that they were turning people away at the locked front door, claiming a lack of staffing. I don't like being treated like a liar or a con man. Bad business practice in addition to poor management. read more

Something always get screwed up on my order here. This time I did not get the hash browns with my big breakfast.

McDonald's - I'm Lovin' it; it being the $1 Large Iced Teas... Everything else is just okay. I grew up on the Big Macs, Quarter Pounder w/Cheese, Double Cheeseburgers, French Fries, and Milkshakes. Now I need to shrink down from McDonald's as I'm obese from eating all of this wonderful fat food, so I'll just stick to the Large Iced Teas and happy meals for my Nephew and Niece who barely eat much and are rail thin. read more

I am visiting from out of state and my husband and I were starving. We spotted this McDonald's and decided to go. The food was fresh, the employees were very pleasant and the service was fast. Very well-run location. Thank you! read more

Wow, talk about small minded pettiness. Our car broke down at 10:30 pm right next to the McDonalds. Since the roadside service was severely delayed, by 2:30 am, we decided to walk over to get something to eat (it's open all night). The lobby was locked so I knocked on the drive through window, and told the attendant wearing the headset our situation, that our car is waiting to be towed and we were hungry. With a look of no understanding and cool indifference, she said I needed to be in a vehicle to serve us. I replied that I have a vehicle right next door, and I surely would drive through but it is disabled. Then another guy, some upwardly mobile graveyard shift success story, steps in as some hero fending off evil, tells me it is a severe liability to serve me without a vehicle. They probably thought I was some vagabond walking up from the streets, and decided to put their foot down and get that great feeling they did some good in the world that day. Nice job Derek Ave. McDonalds, great discernment in weeding out real evil. This isn't the only incident we've experienced. They have been notorious for getting orders wrong, and on once occasion I actually drove back to show them and wouldn't correct the situation. This place has a legacy of inferior management. Though this probably won't affect sales or anyone's decision to avoid this place, for the sake of principle, all else equal, make a statement and go to another one if you have the time. read more

This is the second time in as many months that I came through the drive thru to find it closed. Supposed to be 24 hours, but a Latin woman came to the window and said they didn't have enough people show up to work and could open. Poorly managed and overrun with Spanish speaking employees that are hard to understand. read more

we have gone often in the evening hours and lately the food and service is really lacking. sorry to see the quality go down.
