Well, they just decide whenever they want to close up early here. Multiple times I have placed an online order within the last hour they are open (I work graveyard shift), and multiple times I have arrived and sat in the drive through. No one talks to you, no one talks through the speaker, nothing. I had a line form behind me from us waiting. Finally I drove up to the window (where I sat for another 6 minutes until a worker acknowledged that customers exist, and they told me at the window that they were already closed. An hour early? It’s just McDonalds so I wouldn’t get upset over not getting anything, but I am frustrated that everything shows that this location is OPEN, the app and online hours show it as OPEN, your drive through has you as OPEN, and not a single soul bothered to inform any of us waiting that they decided to close an hour early. I placed my order on the app, and the app does not allow refunds. So now I spent my money on food I was not given. Extremely unprofessional guys, you wasted mine and probably others work lunch, when all you had to do was stop ignoring the line and tell us you closed early. Not hard.

The only reason I go here is for the french fries for my son. There’s very few things he will eat. But iv started making homemade french fries for him so hopefully now we won’t have to go here anymore. Thank goodness because McDonald’s is for some reason now charging restaurant prices for dollar store quality food. If anyone agrees please like this post and post one of your own. These greedy corporations need to hear this. These locations may be franchise owned but the prices and what they serve come from the corporate office is what I was told. The other thing that’s been bothering me is the app they use. It is not a stable app at all. I have had my points saved up to over 7,000 3 times. It seems like every time I get over 7,000 points the app malfunctions and makes me sign in again. Every time that’s happened I’ve lost every single point and I have to start over. I’ve asked what to do from the store as well as email. No points have been given back. Sometimes the app won’t even open. Is McDonald’s trying to rip people off? Because it sure seems that way sometimes with the app the ridiculous prices and the underwhelming quality of their food.

I asked for large hot fries was given warm fries that had been done and sitting in warmer. Went to ask for hot fries after realizing this, and received another large cup of just warm fries after specifically asking for hot fresh fries.

Gave me the wrong order because I drive a nice car, said thank you at the payment window with no reply and window was rudely shut. These people cant be upset someone has a nice car they chose to work at a minimum wage job.

This McDonald’s is not fast food, it’s slow food. This McDonald’s is the slowest one I’ve ever been too. It took 20 minutes to get a large soda. Foods good just very slow to get.

We literally joked after we left here that this was the best McDonald’s we had ever been to. The food was really remarkably tasty, especially the egg McMuffins. Would kill for this kind of quality at other locations.

I would like to preface this review by stating upfront that it is in no way hyperbolic.

I paid for 2 large fries and only got one. Didn’t notice until it was too late to go back. Count your food before you go. There often are missing something from your order
