The food is absolutely trash and any and everyone knows that fries are suppose to be golden brown. The service is terrible due to the fact that their are so many kids and they haven't been trained properly on how to cook anything. They can't even boil water and the ambiance of the business is totally reckless. Cause there is always water standing in the floor and why I will never know! Either you have to wait for half done food or your getting the wrong food. The management can't get anything done cause they are to busy being friends with the team. Work is work and playing is for playtime. They need a whole new staff! read more

Service is ass they never took my order and made me wait outside in the line for 10 minutes

Drive thou is rude af and every time we go here there's something missing. One time a lady argued with us that we didn't have 2 missing mc chickens when on the receipt it said we DID. Guess what. Gave us back the BAG and STILL was missing A SANDWHICH They're bitches for nothing and have a bad attitude read more

Customer service is nonexistent. Girl working the drive is not nice at all and actually rude. I will not come here again.

Every order I have placed with this McDonald's through Door Dash has been missing items. I usually order two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches. 100% of my orders they have been charged but not included. read more

My son got apples and said "they melted." I looked and he wasn't wrong. Just how can that not be seen? I could see it through the bag. read more

McDonald's - Bad apple! - Burgers Near Me - Shelby, North Carolina

The employees was nice, food seemed fresh but always taste odd. The nuggets tasted awful both times. First time the fries was insanely over salted and second time not much salt and tasted warm but old. read more

No matter what time you go, the drive thru is horrendous. LONG LONG LONG WAIT TIMES. Ridiculous. Fries old, yuck! Just not good. read more

This McDonald's is open 24 hours a day for drive thru when the dining room is closed this is nice to know. Especially when you are in the area early morning This one is hit or miss. Been through the drive thru many times. I usually always use the app now. They changed the reward program still good to use the app. Sometimes they get the order out fast other times you sit much longer. I just wish they would make the coffee the way you ask for it on the app. Otherwise they so a pretty good job compared to other McDonald's locations. read more

Just got home and bit into my quarter pounder with cheese..... it was raw inside wtfffff! These people seriously don't give a shit if they give you food poisoning. This is so disgusting read more

Terrible services. Managers were totally unprofessional and rude! The whole management team on day shift, or whoever worked today 3:30pm, should be fired at once. Trash service read more

Service in Shelby NC is abysmal. No one took my order at the drive thru speaker, nor at the window and then some guy finally opens the window and says hes the only one in the building, no manager, and no one is taking orders. This was 3:30am. No signs in any windows telling customers anything. No signs on the drive thru speaker. NOTHING. Just letting people sit there forever. The guy that answered the window looked like hes the janitor or something. THIS IS SHELBY , NC. Everywhere. Then I went to another 24 hr burger place and had ANOTHER non service issue. Welcome to Shelby. Ill never give either places my business. read more

Order is always wrong... complaints when the order too big.. I understand the stress but geez i go here because its close. Sorry to upset you for having a big family. read more

We waited 20 minutes in the drive thru just to get our order taken. We had did a mobile order it we would have left. Terrible customer service. read more

My order included a sausage McGriddle with cheese, a caramel latte, and a breakfast burrito. I specifically asked for NO EGG because I am allergic. When I opened it, I found not one, but TWO pieces of egg. My latte? Just milk and ice. No caramel and no espresso. Literally just milk and ice. Do not recommend. read more

McDonald's - The iced "caramel latte" - Burgers Near Me - Shelby, North Carolina

This rating is for the lack of cleanliness. We stopped to grab lunch and a bathroom break during a roadtrip. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom and someone placed a large industrial roll of brown paper towels (normally used to dry your hands) on the dispenser to use instead. The kiosk was dusty and had greasy fingerprints so we ordered at the counter instead. The floor was quite dirty, as well. We decided to eat in our car instead of sitting down. At that point I was a bit nervous about eating our food, but the kitchen cleanliness looked ok and we were a bit road weary. The food was just ok. I love McDonald's fries and these didn't taste quite as good as our home McDonald's. Same with my cheeseburger. Maybe not as fresh is why. Ours has a high turnover so maybe their ingredients are more fresh. Will skip this location next road trip and will try another since they're a good chain and somewhere I enjoy stopping during our drive. read more

Qtr pound burger was undercooked. Took it back. Got another one that was good but got no apologies even though we had to wait awhile. Fries were not that warm when we got them so after the long wait at the very least, someone should have said they were sorry for the inconvenience. Not the first time we've had wrong or bad food at this location. If it weren't for the convenience of this location I likely would not have returned. Maybe this time I won't come back!

This is the 2nd time I have went and asked for this combo with extra onions and I get the same outcome, fries were also cold...: Tried calling the store but no one will answer read more

Came here enroute to home from a long drive. This has to be one of the dirtiest places I've eaten in. Came for the select tenders and they were out. Only one or two tables were clean. Food and spoiled fluids were on the floor and counters. (See posted pics). My nuggets were barely warm. Lost my appetite eating here. Will never be back. read more

McDonald's - a cup of iced coffee on the dashboard of a car - Burgers Near Me - Shelby, North Carolina

This restaurant has been a problem for my family for years, back before it closed multiple times for a sinkhole in the drive-thru. They served my poor Mom so many bad cups of coffee. Recently after eating a new 'fresh beef' burger there I got so badly sick. I had more pain for three days than I've had in all my life. I have no doubt it was from this restaurant. The service has always been lethargic--and all the employees always seem so annoyed you're there. The sickness was my last time eating here. I'd rather go hungry--and that's saying something because I love to eat and am not at all picky. read more

this McDonald's workers are rude and act like it's fault your order is wrong this morning I order a crispy chicken McGriddle with cheese and paid almost 5 for it and got a Mcchicken griddle which is half the price I paid then you can't call because they don't answer this isn't the first time. and the lady taking my order was rude and has a attitude every time I come here. I have an autistic son who loves their sausage McGriddles and it's one of his few safe breakfast foods. I'll have to find some where else. read more

I have a four year old so, as you may well imagine, we end up here from time to time. Generally we come on Sunday afternoons once a month or so as a treat for the little one. I've never been a huge McDonald's fan but I can't say I've ever been terribly disappointed by the food here. It's consistently good and I've never had anything that wasn't hot and fresh. The Happy Meals options are definitely different from when I was a kid (choice of apples or yogurt, choice of milk or apple juice) but my daughter loves it. Plus, the toys have gotten quite a bit cooler. The staff are usually pretty friendly at this location and we've even had some go out of their way to help my daughter find whatever Happy Meal toy she had her little heart set on. The dining room is sometimes a bit messy, though, it seems it a bit for someone to come out and clean tables. Also, all of the ketchup is kept up at the counter so if you want more you have to head up front and request it. Not bad, overall, though. I've been to far worse fast food places. read more

If your hungry don't go to this McDonald's. System is always down. Not pleasant cashier's. Your better off going to the one in the mall.

Wish we'd have looked at the reviews before we went in. Was driving past & needed a quick stop around 6:45 on Sunday. The place seems new - but is dirty, slow and very poorly run. Definitely the worst McD's we've ever been to. Their drink station is as a mess. No napkins at all. None. All the tables were dirty - every single one. The food took a ridiculous amount of time & the staff obviously didn't communicate well. If we wanted to wait 20 minutes for a mediocre burger - we could have gone elsewhere. This was supposed to be "fast" food. We can only hope the franchise owner of this branch sees the horrible reviews of this location & tries to take action - or that corporate McD's does. read more

Worst McDonald's in the area. No matter what, you're never getting all the food you ordered. Just went there for breakfast and I didn't my kid's McGriddle. Pathetic. read more

They just remodeled this entire place and it's much cleaner now. They also updated the playplace here and my kids love it. Let's be honest, this is McDonald's, it's never going to be perfect, but this isn't the worst one I've ever been in either. read more

The one by Shelby high school is awful. 90% of the time order is wrong and don't pull off to the side they will just let you sit there. You did me a favor you turned me off of fast food even though I didn't eat it often and I feel much better not eating your crap! read more

I wanted a Oreo Shamrock McFlurry and they obviously said "sorry we can't do that" but they made me wait for about 5-8 minutes then I just had to drive away because all I wanted was the McFlurry. TERRIBLE service!!!! read more

Went through drive and these people don't even keep up with what you ordered and payed for, a cheeseburger when I got home, it was suppose to be Big Macs, this place really sucks read more

The coffee machine is broken. There were 5 errors in two super simple orders. The web site makes complaints impossible. Go. Anywhere. Else.

So the following is the actual feedback I emailed to McDonald's from my experience(s) here. To be honest, this was some time ago, but reading others reviews, it appears nothing has changed... Warning - Do not let your kids go in the play area - I did once and my kids socks and hands were filthy dirty black from crawling inside. BTW McDonald's corporate responded and said this info had been passed on to the restaurant. The restaurant NEVER contacted me or apologized for their poor service. Please read and enjoy: Yet another terrible experience at this McDonalds. Started at 5:55 AM - left the drive thru order was wrong (also had to wait while they brewed decaf)- came back thru drive thru - asked to have order fixed - long white haired lady at first said "I can't help- pull up to the next window" - when I informed her she was being rude she then tried to help- they make a new sandwich - left drive thru - sandwich was wrong again!! this time went into restaurant - it took three trys to get it right - by this time it was 6:21 am - there are a lot more negative aspects/nuances to the story that I have omitted due to lack of space - have had prob in the past with this McD with orders, staff, etc - twice have not had a salad-twice have not had right dressing- have seen staff(some teenagers) eating behind counter multiple times, pouring themselves milkshake and eating in front of clients - general rudeness - staff seems very unhappy/ not friendly at all - at least 5-6 incidences with me and as many with my wife - general manager or franchisee really needs to be better involved - I am a shareholder and McD enthusiast - have been eating at McD since a child in NYC - have eaten at Mcd all over the world (Rome, Paris, Kiev, Budapest to name a few) - have eaten all over US too - can confidently say this is the worst McDonalds in the world I have ever frequented and have frequented against my better judgement-headquarters should step in and whip this one into shape-it represents our company poorly read more

I would give this place no stars if it would let me...it is filthy for one...wouldn't have eaten there if would have came in first...most incompetent workers I've seen including management. .should be condemned...there is no way a health inspector would not shut this place down immediately. ..the service is so slow I think I missed a birthday waiting on my food to be corrected read more

Unprofessional and messed up my order 3x in one visit at not even 6am. Keep driving. ..

I used to enjoy the dollar menu at McDonalds, they at least had that going for them at one time. The last few visits I did at the Shelby location were so disappointing. Either the order was not correct or I'd have to "pull up" to the next window so they could complete my order. There isn't any communication amongst the staff. Although there may be a handful of employees really attempting to work hard-a majority of them seem to be there killing time and drawing a check. My biggest pet peeve at any restaurant happens to be when staff members cop an attitude when you question their service. Their management team is inadequate and poorly trained to handle the smallest customer complaints. Another place in Shelby I chose not to waste my time or money on. read more

The food is okay kind of but anyways my order is literally ALWAYS wrong and it take forever!!!!

This is probably the worst McDonald's in the world and I would leave no stars but can't do that. I never eat here and I feel like this is why. First, I got a cheeseburger with onions when asked for no onions and it was on the receipt. Secondly, made us pull over on the side for a "drive thru reserved" spot to wait for our food (let me add that four people already have came and gone while we are still waiting on our food). Third, didn't have a different burger... thankfully I wanted to check everything before we left and I'm glad I did. I feel bad for the woman who made three trips in and out since they made us pull over to the side. If you want fast food... trust me pick something else. read more

We started an online order and paid nearly $20 for it. Went through the drive thru as instructed on the app because they won't deliver your food to your car at certain hours (that's not the problem.) We pull up to the window and they get the manager Denise, on 3rd shift, we show her our receipt, proof that we paid, show her exactly what we ordered and tell her twice and she walked away refusing to give us what we paid for because she didn't want to have to remember our order which, may I add again, we already paid for. They made us leave without our money and without our food, which happened to be my dinner for my 18th birthday. As someone who has worked my butt off in the fast food industry it's hard to believe these types of people can past the job interview let alone become a "manager" 100% percent getting corporate involved, which I am not the type to do, never complained about anything because I understand the struggles of working in the fast food industry. However, you can't literally steal money from people and get away with it. read more
