Thank you for the fantastic fundraiser for Officer Better and his family! The community support was incredible! The staff were amazing and it was heartwarming to see so many volunteers who genuinely wanted to be there. View all feedback.

What Naomi Orth dislikes about McDonald's:
If you like it when employees are mean to you, this is the place for you. I stood by the register for around seven minutes and multiple employees looked at me without saying anything, and finally when someone approached me they didn't apologize for the wait. Our food took forever too, but the food was fine. Im not sure her name but someone who looked like they were a manager was especially rude. View all feedback.

As a parent of two children with Autism, French fries are my go-to comfort food. We frequent this restaurant often and our experience is consistently positive. The food is tasty and served hot, and the service is quick (which can be challenging with kids).

I treated my entire group to breakfast on Saturday morning for overtime and was able to call ahead to ensure everything was ready and prepared correctly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I put a mobile order to pick up this morning. Upon arrival, I asked the young lady who worked the checkout if who made my ice cream coffee, could make it with LOVE. I just did a 62-hour job and I'm so exhausted. I heard someone around the corner saying, "I got you!" The best is everything. Made with all love. Thank you for having so much for blossoming the beginning of my day! The food was also a bomb.

I was really hungry for McDonald's french fries. So I went and bought a large fry. They hit the spot, they were as good as I remember. Now I need to go back for a Shamrock shake.
