Let me start by saying: I have never written a Yelp review in my life. But after the absolute disaster of an experience I had at this McDonald's, I feel like it's my duty to warn others. I've been to plenty of McDonald's locations over the years, and while I don't expect five-star service from a fast-food place, I do expect the bare minimum: decency, cleanliness, and edible food. This location failed miserably on all three.
From the moment I walked in, it was clear things weren't right. The employee at the counter had the worst attitude I've ever encountered in a customer service setting. I asked a simple question about the drink sizes that came with the meal, and instead of just answering like a normal human being, she snapped at me with a rude, sarcastic "Any size," and rolled her eyes. No explanation, no kindness, no effort. It was as if me asking for clarification was an outrageous inconvenience.
Trying to stay calm, I placed the order and sat down, only for things to get even worse. My child walked up to the counter a few minutes later, just to ask for some ketchup and a napkin. Instead of being met with basic courtesy, he was completely ignored and then spoken to with the same nasty tone. He came back to the table holding back tears, completely humiliated. It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch. No child should leave McDonald's crying -- it's supposed to be a treat, not a traumatizing experience.
Then came the food. And wow. What we received was just unacceptable. The burgers were stone cold -- not warm, not slightly cooled -- cold. The cheese wasn't melted, the buns felt stale, and the entire meal tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. The fries? I don't even know how to describe them. They were so hard I actually hurt my tooth biting into one. No salt, no warmth, just sad, old potato sticks that should've been thrown out long before they made it into our bag.
Thinking maybe I could at least use the restroom and gather myself, I headed to the bathroom -- and somehow, it was worse than the food. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. One of the toilets was completely clogged and overflowing, with toilet paper all over the floor. There was no soap in the dispensers, which is disgusting enough, but in a post-COVID world? Completely unacceptable. And, of course, no paper towels to be found. Just a filthy, wet mess of a restroom that made me feel more gross walking out than I did walking in.
And let's talk about the dining area. I don't know the last time this place was cleaned, but it wasn't anytime recently. There was trash on nearly every table, food on the floors, and every surface was sticky to the touch -- the tables, the seats, even the drink station. The floor literally made a sticky squelching sound when I walked. That is not normal. It's not just gross -- it's unsanitary and dangerous. I didn't even feel comfortable letting my child sit down, much less eat anything.
At this point, I honestly started wondering if anyone at this location even cares. It felt like the staff had given up entirely -- no customer service, no hygiene, no effort. I've seen busier McDonald's locations run with ease and friendliness. This one? It was like everyone working there was counting down the minutes to quit and didn't care who they hurt in the process. No manager ever came out to check on anything. No one apologized. No one even acknowledged the chaos.
And what's even scarier is that this isn't just a bad experience -- this is a health hazard. Between the filthy conditions, the cold and potentially unsafe food, and the unsanitary bathroom, it honestly feels like the health department should be stepping in. I wouldn't be surprised if this location failed a surprise inspection. In fact, I hope one happens soon because people should not be eating here in its current condition.
We ended up throwing most of the food away. My child didn't want to eat anymore after the rude treatment, and I didn't trust the safety of anything we were served. We left feeling worse than we did when we arrived -- disgusted, disappointed, and deeply frustrated. This was supposed to be a quick treat for my kid, and it turned into a nightmare.
I will never return to this McDonald's, and I strongly encourage anyone reading this to think twice -- especially if you're bringing children. There are too many McDonald's locations out there that actually care about customers and cleanliness. This one? It should be shut down until it can prove it's safe, respectful, and competent enough to operate again. One star is being generous. read more
