I am not a McDonalds guy by any stretch however this McDonalds has been very accommidating to the special education students in the class I work in for over two years. The place is always very clean and the workers are very patient as the students order. Even has a TV with the news! read more

Smaller McDonalds in size but fast service and very clean! Ordered my usual McFish no cheese extra tartar. Tasted like it should. Drive thru looked really busy looking out the window but the staff kept up the pace pretty well. Overall very well-run establishment! read more

Such a bad customer service. Fast food? This place is too slow to even be called fast food. It doesnt seem like they are understaffed, but it's so damn slow. Everyone were taking their time, and it felt like they didn't even care about how long it would take. Dont recommend it! read more

Here's the thing. wow. okay. hang on. yeah this is a really freaking good mcdonalds. fist thing everyone needs to know is that.... it's mcdonalds. so.. there's that. the costumer service is really quite good, the space is close to the cleanest mcdonalds i've seen! my only questionable experience consisted of me wanting fries that were a tad above luke warm, and the manager giving me the stink eye. other than that, quite good. quite good. read more

This place is always ridiculous. I'm pretty sure the only reason they're still in business is the location. Tonight was especially bad. It took over 40 minutes in the drive through for 6 cars. No big orders. There was no politeness from the workers. Not even a "sorry you're waiting 5 times longer than you're supposed to. It was actually quite the opposite with the person at the window acting like she was inconvenienced by me showing up to a place that sells food, to order food. There was at least 10 People on staff. 3 working and the rest doing whatever they wanted apparently. The red red hair girl (who appeared to be some type of manager) was eating food off the counter while she was putting customers food in the bags. I put the last thing I wanna do is wait another 45 minutes for my food or even worse asked for them to remake my food and who freaking knows what would happen if this place. It would probably take much less time to drive to the McDonald's that is 3 miles away from my house instead of the one that is three blocks away because this place is a freaking joke. They did get the ketchup only for the kids right. So they have that going for them. Even though the burgers were slapped together, sloppy as hell with enough ketchup for three cheeseburgers on one. read more

Reg mcdonalds, I dont eat mcdonalds much I just buy it either for my husband or son. I personally don't like mcdonalds, it does not taste fresh to me at all, totally reheated or fake tasting. I prefer the real FRESH food. But anyway, this location is just like any other location, a clean mcdonalds, fast food, cheap, fast, you know the regular stuff =) read more

honestly just posting this to offset the fact that for some reason people are posting 1 star reviews getting mad about the fact that it's a literal mcdonald's and not a michelin star restaurant. i have been here and it is a mcdonald's. good fries. good employees. :) read more

Let me get this correct: you're open 24 hours a day... But because you use in adequate technology to accept credit cards that has to "reset" every day exactly 2 30- oneof your busiest times - you have customers wait in line for 45 minutes... For telling them that you are cash only. Idiots. Stick somebody out front warning customers so you don't waste your time or better yet: upgrade your technology to accept credit cards to the 21st-century read more

High prices for less food. Friendly enough staff but orders are often filled wrong. If I didn't live so close to this one I wouldn't come back. I have on occasion gone out of my way to go to a different McDonald's just to get better food. Let me just start by saying that I have been living near this McDonald's for the last few years. As other reviews have also stated, they have never filled their French fry containers full. Recently they have also started to use paper fry containers instead of the old cardboard ones. I assume this is to save costs with the minimum wage increasing but they are much smaller (large is now somewhere around what was previously a medium, but with increased cost). Service is ok. Staff are friendly enough. Orders are often filled hastily so it sometimes results in incorrectly filled orders. Food is ok but the fries and nuggets are sometimes old. The dining room is as clean as expected. The reason for the two star review is the continuously increasing prices for less food compared to other McDonald's. I get it if it's a business decision for the whole region, but you can easily go to a different McDonald's and get better value and food. (And isn't that the whole reason anyone goes to McDonald's?) read more

I guess I should've read the reviews online before I placed an order. I ordered a chicken sandwich and cheeseburger, when I got to the window I wanted to place another order for a small fry and I had my phone out because I was using the mcdonalds app to get the $1 fry deal. The lady at the window said I should have mentioned I was using the app and I can't place any more orders at the window, only at the intercom. I asked if I could speak with her manager or supervisor, she said she was a supervisor, I asked to speak with someone else just to place the order since it's just a $1 small fry, I didn't think it would be a big deal. She said "your making things real difficult bruh". I told her it's simple your already taking my payment just add on a small fry hows that so hard? After her trying to argue with me and calling me a few unpleasant names for about 15 seconds, I seen another employee in the back and yelled for him to get an MOD. Finally a manager came and apologized for the employees behavior, told me the girl is new, shes not a supervisor, and they will retrain her customer service skills. I'm never going back there again, but I just wanted to share my experience, based off the other reviews, I'm not the only one that had this type of experience. read more

Probably the worst McDonald's and location there is. Anytime I've decided to go there, I instantly regret it. Takes too long and whenever you go in, the workers don't even acknowledge like you're not a paying customer. There was an incident here that really upset me and how the establishment handled the issue. My sister who lives across from the location went in one day, and was waiting in line when a Caucasian woman whose frequented the place, cut in front of her. My sister replied politely and the woman wouldn't pay her no mind. My sister got frustrated and the woman told my sister, I quote, "Go back to your country where you came from" and my sister told her that she is Native American. Long story short, the woman called on the manager or supervisor who witnessed the incident, and the lady told him, "you know me and I spend money in here all the time" and the manager or supervisor sided with the Caucasian woman for political reason obviously. This really upset me and my family, being Native American in this city, we're often overlooked in different establishments and mistaken for Hispanics. It's baffles me that native people go through this kind of disrespect in a city that dedicates it's heritage to our culture. If McDonald's or this specific location condones racism in any form, Then I don't want anything to do with the business, I'll gladly take my money elsewhere. read more

Great place to get a burger, nice staff and clean place. Idk what all the bad reviews are up in here but this place rocks man. Highly recommend the Oreo McBlizzard it's a blast 100%. I go here all the time and I am treated like a queen. read more

my friends and I walked ALL THE WAYYY there but they were closed because the morning staff didn't care to show up even though they are allegedly "24 hours". these ppl don't care about their jobs. never eating there again!!!! read more

They wouldn't hand me my order that I was supposed to deliver with door dash through the door because of policy due to having a bicycle for transportation and not being able to use drive thru on my first day bringing my score to a 60% after having to cancel just because it was after 12. Sorry for the run on sentence. Extremely annoyed read more

Really good McDonald's-clean, fast service, good management. Manager comped me a breakfast sandwich today while the McDonald's app (free breakfast sandwich today only) was down. Value menu sucks, which is partially a function of Seattle prices, but I do miss dollar McDoubles. But overall reliable and good! read more

They got me wrong order. And the burger wasnt prepped well. Also I don't think employee's english was good enough to under my order

the absolute worst mcdonalds ive ever been to. been here twice and both times forgot multiple items in my order. never coming here again. absolutely horrendous! read more

Yeah, McDonald's is getting four stars from me. Don't get me wrong--it's not a four star restaurant. But it was my brother's choice and it made him happy. We've been to this location a few times now and the staff has always friendly and patient with my autistic brother and his special requests. Plus it's always clean and in good repair. This is the same McDonald's our parents used to take us to when we were little boys, so it gets an extra star for nostalgia value. read more

The Manager working today was the rudest person I've come in contact with in a long time. The parking lot is a cluster F &ck go somewhere else! read more

I am writing to file a complaint about McDonald's Restaurant Store Number 1697. Due to Covid, I have health issues, and rarely leave the house. On August 1st, we decided to brave the road, wore our mask through the drive thru and ordered our food. When we got home, we realized that there were items missing. I called to ask for a refund, credited back to my credit card, and was informed that refunds can only be made in person. They wanted me to go back to the restaurant to show them my receipt and credit card, in order to get my money back. Due to the risk of going back out, I declined this option. When I expressed my concerns for going back out, I was informed that this is a company policy, therefore, I asking for you to have this policy investigated. During a global pandemic, how is a refund policy for "in-person" transactions ethical? I find this practice unsafe and not practical. I believe this refund practice dangerous, inconvenient, and unethical. Implement safe practices for refunds, do not ask for us to risk more only for a refund, horrible business practice. I have yet to receive my refund. read more

Extremely RUDE staff. Zachary. Alfonso. Short haired female lady taking drive through orders! Midnight April 10 2011 My letter to the manager - Dear Jesse, I was shocked at the way your staff treated me tonight. We ordered a #6 and a spicy chicken mini meal(from the drive-in) only to find the larger fries were a little old and hard. I walked back into the restaurant to have them replaced where Zachary gladly prepared some new fries by putting them into the oil. After a long hard day at work, I was looking forward to Mcdonalds fries - they are the best ones out there. I waited a minute or two and went back to my car after being handed the fresh fries. To my surprise they were over-done, this time hard from over-heating. I thought to myself that it was not really worth it to go back into restaurant to have them made again, but then why not? I did pay for them after all. This time Zachary threw a fit and complained to Alfonso who grabbed my bag of fries, flung them into the trash and proceeded on being extremely disrespectful to me starting off by telling me how he burnt his fingers making the last batch and how this is the way they come out. He did not even bother looking at them and understanding what I was telling him. I have been happy for the last 15 years with the fries I have been getting from Mcdonalds and all of a sudden this young man claims that this is the way they are meant to be???!!! Thank you, but I shall be the judge of that. He rudely told me I was getting a refund and I can be on my way, at which point he started banging the cashier drawer trying to make change as fast as possible and as noisily as possible. I tried explaining to him that he was being rude and this was not exactly what you call customer service to which he responded that he has done the course and knows exactly what customer service is. Unfortunately, Jesse, he does not. This is the first time I have been treated like this by anyone. Imagine, I was standing there, in my suit and overcoat, being disrespected because I do not know what fries should taste like. I repeatedly asked him to at least touch the fries and see what I mean instead of throwing them away and proceeding to refund me - which is not what I wanted at all. I asked for a manager and was told that he was the manager. Why then do you not have a name-tag on? He tried handing me the change and when I shook my head in disbelief, he slammed the change down onto the counter. At this point there was a lady who jumped in and told me that I was not welcome here and that I should leave. "get out. I won't stand for you insulting him" I do not understand how I insulted Alfonso by telling him the fries he made were over-done? When I again tried explaining that this is not the right way of dealing with such a situation I was told that she would be calling the cops. I told them the only person they should be calling is their manager and walked out. I have never in my life been so insulted by ANYONE, let alone employees of a restaurant that has been a part of my life for decades. The only thing I can say is that this episode has left a very very bad taste in my mouth and such behavior should not be tolerated. I have been belittled and humiliated and the worst part of it is, none of them even bothered looking at the fries. Why would an employee give me attitude in the first place? I am not an uneducated fool showing up talking about things I know nothing about? I do know what I am talking about and I do know exactly what the definition of manners, kindness, customer service and professionalism are. Please see to it that your employees learn these definitions. It falls on your shoulders to make sure that this does not happen to anyone else. I am not well-spoken and kind to your only employees to be mistreated by them. And they were not mistaken about who I was - I was the best dressed, most well-spoken gentleman in there at the time. Perhaps the color of my skin was unappealing. 12am Sunday April 2011 I am done with the University location. Boycott them. This is a Mcdonalds not some roadside hotdog joint - no offense to roadside hot dog joints :) read more

One time when I was here a guy walked out of the bathroom without a shirt on and his pants so low that I could see the top of his dick so I don't go inside anymore but three stars because it's mcdonalds read more

Any positive reviews are suspect.,probably an employee. Late night is always bad, all the time, in every way. The exception is if you get an asian guy wearing glasses. He seems to be the only one who takes the job seriously. read more

Has to be one of the nicest McDonald's in Seattle. After you order they give you a number and bring your food to your table when it's ready. Plus they have free wifi. You can tell the manager puts some effort into making this an above average McDonald's. One star deduction because the drive through can get too long and you end up waiting out on 25th Ave. read more

Made a quick stop today on my way home, got myself and my boyfriend 2 Big Mac meals and some cookies. Delicious as usual!! Now the 1 star rating is due to customer service! The man that took my order seemed very rude and that he did not want to be at work! Now I understand completely that we all have bad days but you are not supposed to take this out on customers! The last straw that actually led me to write a review was due to the fact that he was not pleased to give me ranch and ketchup when I asked for it! As I tried holding my bag outside my car window for him to place the condiments into the bag he decided to throw them into my bag very aggressively and walked away like he did not care what he just did ! I'm sorry that you may have had a rough day, but next time don't go to work and take it out on customers! read more

It's still Mcdonald's, classic late night munches, but this is a mediocre Mcdonald's. Fairly decent service, but lines are always long since it's the only one near the UW campus. Definitely avoid peak hours, and don't expect the most delicious experience as it seems a lot of the food is made carelessly. read more

You should go the McDonald's@U-District !!! The great things is they have special offers that other McDonald's don't have(thought this one is lil bit pricey, but I am a dollar-menu-lover, not really affect me). Last month, they have a free breakfast burger if you buy a Latte(so it just cost you $2 for Small Latte+Sausage McMuffin - Amazing deal but gone already) Now, they're offering Friday Free Latte during breakfast time, less attractive deal, but worth to wake up early and have a FREE Latte on Friday!! read more

Very nice McDonalds! I was there a few days ago and one of the girl workers was very nice when offering me different selections of food. Will come back read more

McDonald's is one of the best parts of America. They have been pumping out some of the best fast food for generations. Food is always amazing, and quality is outstanding. Clean, comforting and cozy would be my complementary three C's dog!!!!! For real big hash brown. read more

My husband came here this week, only time he used his debit card in 10 days. Two days later his card # was being used to send cash, order lyfts, get gas, etc. An employee here definitely stole our card info and sold it / used it. So be careful at the drive through! read more

There totally needs to be a closer McDonalds to campus, speciically the AVE, that would be super totally nice right... But for now this McD will have to do. The parking lot is strange, but it hits the spot for those chicken nugget cravings. read more

Super Size this! McDonalds is back. This long time local eatery is "sandwiched" between the trendy University Village to the south and the upscale residential neighborhood of Ravenna to the north. The seating is ample and perfectly comfortable for a short lunch or dinner. The staff is friendly, personable and efficient. They are quick to make recommendations if the hungry visitor isn't sure what to order and their recommendations are usually spot-on. I had a Crispy McChicken sandwich that was perfectly matched to the piping hot cherry pie I had for dessert. So whether you're holiday shopping at the University Village with your hungry family or just out cruising for dinner in your Yukon, don't miss this classic American restaurant. read more

Horrible customer service. Went through drive through, ordered, and noticed they forgot some items and when we said there were some items missing, they simply read off the price again and told us to reorder at the window, rather than correct the order while still at the speaker. We did not feel listened to. When we received our items, we checked and they forgot multiple items. We were still at the window and asked for the missing items, to which the employees became visibly annoyed and demanded to see our receipt. They brought some items and then claimed we did not pay for others, even though our group explicitly ordered more than one fries and sauce and even tried to check at the last window. They then responded by saying "you have to pay for that", as if we are trying to steal, with which we agreed to of course. They then were very annoyed and handed the items to us after leaving for longer than it would normally take to receive one medium fry, then did not say goodbye or thank you. It wasn't even that long of an order. read more

Look man...it's McDonalds. Redeeming qualities are fries and nuggets. Otherwise, they're overpriced and under quality. That's all, really. Two stars for the fun late night runs with my friends but nothing more. read more

I used to work at this location and I'm appalled at how much worse the service has become. I ordered two mozzarella sticks and they only gave me three stix instead of the six I clearly ordered. I know McDonald's is the last place a lot of people would work at, but seriously, can u at least do ur job right?!? read more

Worst McDonalds ever for many reasons. First, they are the most expensive McDonalds! I mean a "dollar menu" McChicken in $1.89? Next, almost every time I go through drive thru, they mess up my order or give me someone else's. Lastly, if you ask for ketchup and you say a few or handle full they will specifically ask if for example, like 5 and you say ok, they really count out 5 packets! What a waste of time. If someone wants like 5, then give a mini hand full of packets, if they say 10, give them a handful. Saves time! read more

I don't write yelp reviews often but I felt compelled too after tonight's experience. It was about 1:30am and the drive-thru had a line out the street. When it was finally my turn to order, there was just silence and no greeting. I said "hello" and I was told to wait a minute. 3-5 minutes went by and I finally spoke up and I believe the manger named Alex (could be wrong) spoke and asked if I've been helped yet. Keep in mind, by this time there had to be 8-10 cars waiting behind me and no cars in front of me at the drive thru windows. What a dumb question! I almost wanted to say "No doofus, I'm just sitting here at the intercom." I ordered a Bacon McDouble without bacon because it's only $2 compared to ordering a McDouble that is more expensive. Then he proceeded to tell me that he was going to charge me for a 'McDouble' and I said no then leave the bacon on which I eventually just threw away. The heck is he thinking trying to charge me more just because I don't want bacon. I'm just being smart about saving money on my meal, there's no written rule that I can't do that. This guy has served me multiple times and he's usually alright but he had a bit of an attitude tonight. Maybe he was having a bad day or maybe he just had something stuck up his you know what. I finally paid and got my food and I checked the temperature of my fries and they were unsurprisingly cold. I let the cashier know and she said the fries were fresh and just came out. I told her to touch them so I could prove my point but she declined. She eventually gave me a hotter batch and I tried to give her the old fries back and she said "I don't want them." The heck! I don't want those nasty fries either. Lazy employee wouldn't even take the cold fries back to throw them away. I've visited this Mcdonald's location more times than I count at all different times of the day. Despite how inconsistent this location is along with the poor to mediocre customer service, this location will remain busy almost all day since it's near UW and it's open 24 hours day. I'll add on from experience this place tends to have technical problems late night and they have very slow service when it's busy. It's frequently poorly ran and they have a difficult time keeping up when it's busy resulting in slow production times. There have been times where they provide fast service but more times than not, it's slow. I was going to give 2 stars but thinking about my recent experience triggers me to just give one star. But I will say there have been times where service was okay and the food was fresh but overall INCONSISTENT. Come here enough and every once in a while, you'll get a friendly employee and fresh fries. read more

Apparently more business should be coming your way glad to here a pub is referring it's patrons to you. This is the pubs response to me for a bad review on the pub. I'm happy to hear that this place gets a good referral! Dear Supporting a local business means stopping in a few times a month with your family and paying FULL PRICE, tipping well, posting a 5-star review and hash-tagging your favorite menu item. Last night's deal was not about people supporting the pub, it was about the pub supporting the people. We did not profit off of last night's event, but we did certainly run out of food. There is a very nice McDonald's we think you will enjoy at 5146 25th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98105. Tell them we sent you! Pub Montlake #pubMontlake read more

I went to get a coffee and fries. The lady told me to pull up to the last window to pay because it was late at night. The man at the window said angrily "The FIRST window is behind you!" Shocked I said, "She told me to pull up to the last window." He scoffed and said "No she DIDN'T." When he came back from running my card I asked him how much the order was because he never told me and he shoved the card at me and before I could finish my question he slammed the drive thru window in my face. I used to go to this McDonalds all the time but now I won't be back. I wish I caught his name on the name tag but all I remember is he had short brownish blonde hair and was working at 11:10 pm on 3/23. I don't think his behavior is acceptable. read more
