ENVIROMENT:
- The building is fine, but there's a homeless person camping in front of the bus station closest to the McDonald's and some other sketchy people around, especially at night. Even with my partner, we were worried about our safety. These are things outside of this McDonald's control, but we tried to dine in when it was dark outside, and they told us to leave because the lobby closes at 10 pm, according to whom I assume was the manager or lead. This information should be posted clearly. It was just me and my partner, and I don't see why they couldn't let us sit down for a moment to eat before leaving. It's also confusing that the lobby closes at that time, but this location is listed as 24 hours. We left anyway, assuming it's true that the lobby closes for valid reasons, but we felt uneasy being forced outside with the sketchy characters around.
- Inside the store was clean, and from a quick look around, I didn't see anything broken or vandalized, though we didn't really get to sit down.
- There's a large parking lot if you have a car.
- There wasn't an offensive smell inside either.
SERVICE:
- There was a manager or lead in the morning who copped an attitude with us when we came in the next day after our night visit when we got kicked out. We were missing a KitKat banana split ice cream, the coffee was the lowest quality ever (it was nothing but water and coffee, no flavoring of the chocolate iced mocha coffee we ordered), and we also didn't get the +$0.80 tartar sauce inside the fish fillet burger. Just three items we were disappointed with. We made a call that night to report the messed-up order when we got home, then came in the store to resolve the errors and have a better experience. The manager or lead that assisted us did not speak directly to us and instead spoke to their employee in Spanish so we couldn't understand. My partner understands a bit of Spanish, and when the manager asked if we understood, we said yes, and suddenly they stopped speaking in Spanish around us. I do not appreciate sneaky behavior like that. She could have talked to us directly in English instead of to an employee who knew very little about what happened. We felt like she was suspicious of us being dishonest and just wanting the whole meal again for free, even though we outlined on our receipt what the issues were. We just wanted to get our ice cream and have the two items that were messed up remade or get a refund on the tartar sauce. The manager interrogated us about why we didn't check the order and didn't care to listen to our explanation. She tried to advise us about the coffee, saying if we wanted something sweet, we should have gotten something else. I informed her that the drink was poorly made and not what we ordered at all. It was nothing but water and coffee, which I knew because when they remade the drink for us, it was way better. We just wanted to try new things at their best or at least the usual quality, but instead got interrogated and judged. I advise that the workers and especially the managers at this location learn not to assume and heavily profile paying customers, then immediately treat them poorly based on assumptions. We spoke professionally and calmly, and we've worked in this field before, so we understand what the work is like. Even we wouldn't act like that towards a customer and give such poor customer service and attitude. I expect more from managers, especially. I hope you don't treat your employees like that or worse.
- Despite being a 24-hour location and kicking us out into a dangerous environment outside, the employees had way better customer service skills and attitudes compared to the managers. We did get our order fixed.
FOOD:
- I won't count the messed-up orders we had since that is not the typical quality. Anyway, there aren't any notes I can make about the food or drink so far, other than the coffee. It was OK. It's not something I would get again or recommend, but it was decent. Just don't come at night asking for it; maybe in the morning, it would be better made, like it was for us. Very light coffee. Anyway, we won't be coming back due to the awful experience, but we can make some recommendations for things we did enjoy.
- Recommendations: The KitKat banana split was really delicious and sweet. It almost tastes like caramel ice cream, so if you have a sweet tooth and you're into that, it would be perfect for you. Give it a try. I don't think it was super strongly sweet or overwhelming. It's just a nice little treat. read more
