This location used to be so ghetto but it's a lot better now. Aside from the homeless guys that hang out by the front door I've never had an issue here. Busy place. read more

Macdonald's App needs improvement. Most of the time it still requires standing in line to show the counter staff your phone and confirmation number. THEN they start your order. Learn from Starbucks! read more

Walking by the mass of buildings between the Holiday Inn, State Department, FEMA, and the outer Congressional buildings, a peculiar smell permeates the surrounding blocks. Not an aroma, but a smell. Charred grease, I think... Oh, I must be near McDonald's... Then one sees the mass of people in an unkept locale, with the unclean tables, slow service, full trash bins, panhandling homeless outside, and ill tempers. Oh... I AM at the L'Enfant McDonald's... My advise... go somewhere else. read more

Never opens on time. Supposed to open at 5 am. I sit outside until 10 minutes after 5 then drive off. I normally start work before they open but when I don't and have 30 minutes to spare I'd like to be able to get some breakfast. Maybe if their corporate office was notified they might just open at the time they say they're going to. read more

McDonald's - Store hours say 5:30am open time for Sunday's. It's 5:53am and doors are still locked - Fast Food Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Clean, served fast. Cashier did not make eye contact or act particularly friendly, but was good enough. Some people seemed confused to receive an empty cup when they ordered coffee, but coffee is served in pitchers by the soda machines. When questioned, the cashier was not particularly clear about this point. I ate a sausage biscuit, and it was good. read more

Wow! Chaos the minute we walked in! Loud. Dirty tables. You get a number to keep track of your order. Our cashier missed to give us our number, but it was no waiting time so no biggie. They accept AMEX. read more

Not a very good McDonalds, but with the masses that invade, it does what it can. Stop by during lunch in the summer, and you will be greeted with masses of families, government and contractor employees, and homeless types. It's good if you are nearby and in a rush, but if I have the choice, Methinks not. I found the "30 minute time limit" to eat and get out disconcerting, until it took my group of three 5 minutes to find a place to sit. Then it all made sense. read more

I enjoyed their order at the machine kiosk. Simply put your order in, grab a number placard, and put the placard number with the order and wait for the food to come to you. I would like to say that it is much faster to order like this, but it took 20+ minutes for our food to come. (Just 2 McChickens and small fries). The area wasn't generally clean either, but I enjoyed the cheap eats nonetheless. read more

The most expensive, busiest, crowded McDonald's ever. It's the only restaurant in theis free museum, so i doubt this review will improve/change anything, because hey, they'll still always have customers. read more

My children are excited to get happy meals here with the accompanying toys. The staff neglected to tell us when ordering that they had no toys. When I asked for something to replace this, a small icecream I was told no. The manager participated in this and was less than helpful. read more

Ten minutes to get a Big Mac and I had to prefer it myself on their screen. There were at least 16 people working in the back scurrying around but not much product getting to the customers. But it is cheap and consistent. read more

I ordered a McChicken to go today with no mayo during lunch. The service wasn't exceptional but it wasn't bad either. When I took the McChicken back to the office to eat, I noticed that the sandwich wasn't even wrapped properly. The sandwich looked like it was falling out of the wrapper. McDonald's, that is just lazy. The sandwich was good. I would go back. I hope they are more attentive to the little details. read more

Wow. Downloaded this app just to tell the world this is the freshest most delicious McDonald's ever. Have us chopped nuts with our sundae everything 10/10 recommend read more

No milkshakes. 10 minute wait for two ordinary cheeseburgers and really dirty inside. Gross!

The food was decent at the mcdonalds. But the workers and the service sucked. The workers all have bad attitudes and were not able to get an simple order correct. And then blamed me for me not checking my order to make sure everything was correct when I asked them about my missing items. The cleanliness of the restaurant was not up to par either. It was fairly slow and the restaurant was very dirty while the employees were standing around . Not a good visit read more

Worst oatmeal I've ever had. Water was cold and oatmeal was soupy and never thickened up. Husband said it was the worst McFlurry he's ever had. No vanilla flavor. read more

This is the only McDonald's conveniently located between the L'Enfant Plaza and Federal Center Southwest Metro stations. Overall, the restaurant's interior design is very classy. The food and service is great. The seating is more than adequate. read more

This has got to be a truck stop! From the counter staff and night crowd's talk I expect to see semis screeching in (don't bring the children), open until 11:PM or later. Please don't disturb the Mc D&B by the door. read more

Dirty toilets, poor service. Refused to give us cups for water. Fries amount is less than standard. Would not recommend this location.

Visited this location 3x over the course of 2 night Memorial Day weekend stay at the nearby Holiday Inn: Twice for breakfast, once for a late dinner. While the line was a bit long around 8:00 pm on the Sunday nite the staff moved quickly & had a separate roped off area for pick up which kept things organized. Oddly though a sign indicated they did not have ice nor ice cream, disappointing since I had really wanted a sundae. The young man working the register Sunday night was funny, joking about the requested senior coffees, & just overall a smiley guy. Food was hot & tasted as good as a $3. McD burger is expected to taste. We returned the next 2 mornings for breakfast. I did try to use the kiosk but for some reason it wasn't reading my credit card payment. A worker sweeping the floor attempted to help me but couldn't so she then went to get someone else in an attempt to help. They couldn't get it to work but I appreciated their effort & ordered at counter. Would have been annoying if a long line but there wasn't. They did have ice at breakfast time (husband is a soda drinker for all meals), staff at counter was pleasant, no issues with us requesting scrambled eggs on the breakfast sandwiches that normally have that round shaped gummy egg (yuck), & gave us numbers for our table so they could deliver our food to us. No problem getting a table anytime we went. I didn't use restrooms so can't comment on condition - husband did once & does not recall an issue the time. One big annoyance: pan handler wandering around & coming to tables requesting money. Out on the street is annoying enough but in an establishment that should not be; however, after the whole Starbucks fiasco I get why a manager is afraid to approach anyone regardless of the issue. Still doesn't make it right. In short: 5 stars for their nice staff & food being right on McD's standards but reduced for being out of ice cream & ice (Really??) & not having signs indicating no pan handling or loitering. read more

This place is ridiculous. I can't even get an oatmeal without it being loaded with maple syrup! It comes "pre-made" they said. I tried being healthy by ordering apple slices. They say "a slice of happiness" right on the package. How is a "slice of happiness" a healthy option when they removed the peel of the apple which has the most antioxidants in the apple. Like the slogan says, " I'm NOT lovin' it!" In fact I hate this place and its contribution to obesity! read more

An early customer at 8 AM, I used the men's room. 1st toilet, no paper. 2nd toilet did not flush. Came out to a man asking for $1 for alcohol, no pretenses! Expect a lot better from McDonalds in the nation's Capitol!!! read more

Since McDonalds came under new management, the service has been terrible. This McDonalds does not follow suit with the other McDonalds (All drinks are $.99 and here they are almost $2). The milkshake machine is always broke. The cashiers are friendly but forgetful about what you ordered. If you have a choice, go to another McDonalds!!!!!!!!!! read more

I'll start by saying that I actually love McDonald's. But the evening manager at this location must be the biggest prick of any McDonald's worldwide. He nearly started a war with me because I asked for an extra sauce for my nuggets. I realize you hate your life, but it can't be too much to ask that you provide some basic customer service when you work in a service industry. I hope the owner of this franchise is listening... This is why McDonald's is losing market share. Go visit a Chick-Fil-A and learn something about service. read more

Honestly this is the worst McDonald's I have ever been to. I started recently working in the area and figured this was decent cheap eat. Highly mistaken. After several different trips here at various time during the day. I have yet to walk out with my order being properly taken. I have been charged for extra food, missing contents of my order, or denied a requested to get something taken off a sandwich (no onions please). So instead of making a scene, I contacted the customer service and was given the Corporate, "We apologies for your experience and will strive to serve you better." speech. Never going to eat from this McDonald's ever again and would suggest you as a paying customer to not patronize this terrible McDonald's either. read more

Seriously the worst Mickey D i have visited, staff arguing with each other & customers, every order seemingly wrong, messy dirty restaurant. read more

Holy cow, is it just my dumb luck or is this DC the standard? I've now been to multiple restaurants where I've seen employees use the restroom and then leave without washing their hands. This time I even said, "Aren't you going to wash?" When I reported this to the manager he quickly acted on it but as we were leaving I was mean mugged by the employee as he washed in the slop sink in the kitchen. What the heck?!?!?! I also have to agree with others on here. McDonalds is traditionally known for their cleanliness, speed and friendly staff. While some of the staff at this location are nice, I've never received speedy service or seen it clean. I've seen them cleaning but only the glass on the doors and the countertop at the register. I can say this with plenty of experience too. We spent 5 weeks living in the Holiday Inn just down the street this past summer. When we had double digit days worth of 100+ this place was our saving grace. We'd be out for a walk and stop in for a sweet tea and ice cream to help cool off before returning to our room. It was never clean and always had at least two bums in or on the immediate premise. There goes your No Solicitation policy. We won't be back to this location and I will be contacting corporate. This location has gone down the drain and the management has been in the drivers seat. read more

My recent visit to this McDonalds was a truly awful experience and it makes me never want to buy from this McDonalds again. I had a coupon for a complimentary Egg White McMuffin which is set to expire on 6/30. It says so right under the picture, plain as day. I usually just eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, but planned a special trip to this McDonalds instead because of the expiring coupon. However, the cashier decided that she would rather argue with me than take my order. She told me the coupon already expired. I told her I still had a couple more says to use it. She wouldn't budge. So, I grabbed the coupon and left. A promotion is designed to get a customer into a store so they can try new products and buy other items. I was going to buy a coffee and hash browns as well. This store lied to me, lost my money, and just let me walk out. Talk about bad customer service and bad business. read more

For coffee, I am somewhat of a regular here. I drink their coffee everyday, now that I work for the Federal government. I do enjoy the staff... but with that said I do regularly watch them abuse customers and be very rude. I find it charming, but I also think that the best thing to do with a place like this is to just treat it like theater. They will not be able to understand your order. It will be your fault and not theirs. Just go with it and give them attitude back and continue to enjoy your day. Also, don't go in here if you only have time for the fastest service ever because they are far from fast. read more

I dont know what yall Yelpers talking about. This location is amazing and I actually dont like McDonald's. Breakfast is always hot and they never mess up my order which I cant say for literally any other McDonald's in the country. I don't really eat lunch there often but when I do the fries and burgers always come out hot. read more

How is it possible for this McDonalds to ruin their biscuits???? Possibly by serving them a day old. This is the worst Mickey D's I've ever been to, even worse than the one on 57th in New York. The crew changes every month. Please someone put in a Chick Fila! read more

This McDonald's rarely has its iced items available, I have walked in multiple times looking for frozen lemonade or ice cream cones. Some machine is always out of order... The employees never run out of excuses... Whenever I walk by and see the advertisement for the frozen lemonade, it taunts me. Can someone please get this place a new machine? Sad day. read more

Service poor. No customers but staff didn't even look at me for 5 minutes. The only reason I stayed is it's late, I just flew in and I'm starving. Manager rude to customer while I was standing here. read more

If I could give this location a zero, I would. This restaurant is extremely dirty. You can feel the grease slide off the doors onto your hands. All of the counter staff and management are rude and do not show any care towards the customers. The food is terrible and 60% of the time, the order is not right. They are always out of ice, salt and napkins. I can't believe the McDonalds's Corp allows this place to continue business the way they are. read more

A Health Inspector's Dream! This place never smells like what it cooks! It smells really bad, like a mix of dirty mop, bleach, and rancid meat. The breakfast sandwiches don't taste like any I've ever had at other McDonald's establishment so it makes me question the cleanliness of the restaurant. The service is fast and the employees are pleasant. The only time you might have an issue is if you try to redeem something from a promotion, then the staff may go off on you, speaking in Spanish about you and telling you to give them x amount of change in order to redeem something labeled as free. The manager will be your best friend in this case. You might have to hold your nose to really have a pleasant experience. I wouldn't recommend sitting and eating, so you should be prepared to order your meal to go. read more

Super slow took over 20 minutes for a double cheeseburger and small fry. Ridiculously slow.

I ordered a simple buttermilk chicken meal. The bun must have been through the toaster twice or it got stuck because it was burned. The chicken was cold, which I'm sure is a health code violation. The soda out of the machines were flat too. I sure wouldn't go back to this location. read more

A nice remodel + finally getting a full McCafe setup = I'm kinda loving it... it's still a regular old McDonalds at the end of the day. I still won't eat their food, but I do enjoy a McFrappe on hot day. read more

What to say, well it's a McDonald's that opens early for a place to grab breakfast in D.C. I just find this location lacking in good customer service and not as clean. My orders have always been correct so I can't complain on that. This branch would not be my first choice. read more

We are staying at the nearby Holiday Inn and have been to this McDonald's twice...once for an ice cream treat and the other for a quick meal. Both times the staff was courteous, cheerful and helpful. McFlurries were made quickly and meal was hot! The restaurant was clean and staff was wiping down tables both times we visited. Very pleasant Mickey D's! read more
