After being out in the area my Dad started grumbling about how he was hungry. When Dad wants…read moresomething to eat, you find some place to eat. I wasn't in the mood for going to a sit down restaurant, so fast food it was. Yes, before I get further into this review, this is the infamous McDonald's that so many people wrote (and it appears to be that they are still doing so) bad reviews. So if you see a review with reference to pest control or cleanliness of the restaurant, bypass them. Most of those reviews are from people that are from out of state, probably never been to Pennsylvania, and most certainly have never been to Altoona. Not a dis, just a fact. When we got here, I have to say that the parking lot was really confusing. Even though this sits on the main drag through the area, it abuts a residential neighborhood. I was trying to circle around the lot to head back to the front (it is one-way) I didn't think you could because only looked like the drive thru was the only lane. Not to worry, there is a road, more of the size of an alley, that you can make your way back up around. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to dine inside. Ordering wise, I chose the kiosk, tapped away at the screen, got a table number and then headed to find a seat. Dining room was decently clean even though it was busy with people. Another note on the dining area, there is a lot of space taken up for things that shouldn't be there. There is one small alcove that has two tables, but not for customers, they have a bunch of stuff there for people to apply to work there, and possible they do job interviews there. Then there is the area towards the bathrooms, large enough to accommodate several people and great enough if you want to be antisocial. However, this area was kind of off limits. You know, the area where said incident took place. The staff seem to have taken up roots here. At the end of my meal I did head back here to use the restroom and almost every table had something on it. Laptops, paperwork, general nonsense items. That way no one could sit in this area. I understand, but if it is a busy and full dining room, customers should come first. As far as the food, the order was almost correct. The prepared items were definitely right, but when our food was brought to the table there were no drinks. When we brought that up the employee asked if we ordered from the kiosk. Obviously we did, why else were you delivering the food to the table, with the table number on it? Also, that shouldn't matter if we ordered at the kiosk or not, either fill the cups in the back and at the least give us our cups. When I did go fill our cups after finally getting them, that was a hassle. We both wanted sweet tea, but the two containers were both nearly empty. It was like I was standing there waiting for the tea to be freshly brewed. For the remainder of the meal, nothing special, it's McDonald's. I still am not the biggest fan, but will make do. I am also fairly sure this location does not warrant the low, fake reviews it currently has.

A coworker recommended Mama's since I always have a difficult time finding a nice place to eat on…read moreMonday evenings because so many places are closed. I was pleased to visit Mama's -- it was very busy but still pleasant, warm, quiet, and nobody had to wait for a seat despite the number of customers. I was not warned about the extremely large portions of food so ordered a slice of Sicilian pizza which was about the size of a small cake. I also ordered angel hair pasta and a meatball (which was the size of a baseball) as well as a chicken salad, Pittsburgh-style with fries on it. Everything was good, especially the service. Mama's seems to be geared more to locals but I still had a great meal and everyone was super friendly. There is another place I love to eat at nearby or I would have come back for another meal. Next time I'm in the area on a Monday, I'll be back. Thanks for a great meal!

They have a older lady who manages sometimes, when she is working the time for food is unbelievable. I've seen people waiting 20 minutes for a kids meal. She is always bossing people around. One night I went for a couple ice creams. The younger lady made a cone. The can was a good size but nothing crazy. Manager told her to throw it away and make it smaller. And again with the second one. Throwing away two cones before having a man step in and make two of the smallest cones I've ever seen. Outside of that the staff is okay. Some are lazy and others do a good job. Most aren't happy as you'd expect in fast food. Outside of the older guys who flirt with the younger women. Inside is clean, odd shape but decent seating. Parking lot isn't big but plenty of parking. I have no issue eating here depending on whose working.

I got a BLT avocado on Italian Herbs & Cheese and it was better than I expected. It isn't so much chopped avocado but more like a guacamole paste that had nice texture and flavor. This combined with a clean place that had a worker constantly cleaning like she's got OCD gets my 5 stars. One last note: this place has a drive-through which I haven't seen at a Subway before. If management kept it open late, imagine the possibilities: dozens of drunk & stoned youth having the option of healthy eating at 3am. Perhaps this could be a new approach to slimming down America.

This one is located in a complex with several other businesses including a Target. Interior is the standard Chick-fil-A you'll find everywhere and includes a kid's play area. Food and service was what you would expect, it was good. The only issue here was how busy this location is. On a Saturday, from 1PM-2PM, the line was steady to the door at all times, so going back for desert might not be an option. Overall, it's a good location, just super busy.
