As a certified McDonald's enthusiast who was absolutely starving that day, this McDonald's was phenomenal. They were so fast and got everything right which is rare in McDonald's today. I loved it here and want to get it everyday after dropping off my dearest friend Jordan from sailing. Wonderful experience I hope I have the chance to pass through the drive through again

I'd like to start by apologizing to the amazingly kind woman at the second drive up window. I wish I caught your name before I left, hopefully you will see this. No excuses, but I was having a horrible day yesterday and I took my frustration out on you. I know we are all suffering from the effects of Ida and you guys were doing your best. My attitude was uncalled for. I am sincerely sorry and appreciative of how you handled it. Taking a moment to wish me a blessed day even after I was rude to you. In all this mess you guys were the only fast food restaurant open. I can't tell you how much you saved my evening with the meal. I know you guys all have homes and families you'd much rather be with in these time but instead you went to work with a smile on you face and positive attitude. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. The food was fresh and the order correct and service above and beyond. Thank you.

This was a quick stop to satisfy the hunger of our grandson. McDonald's is a known winner for him. The speed of the service was a bit slow. There seemed to be adequate staff and only a few patrons. We miss the Quarter pound option but understand that a quality issue has temporarily removed it from the menu. Overall, the restaurant was clean. The furnishings were pleasant and a little more modern than I've seen in other locations. The staff were tired and appeared a little unorganized.

Normally I only give negative reviews but yesterday and today (10/31 & 11/1) the lady taking the orders at the drive thru is AMAZING. She’s great. She brought a smile to me and my daughter’s face. Just a wonderful human.

I got there and I use the kiosk so many people working there but a lot of them just walking around the food I got I had to wait a good 15 minutes for when I got home which is only a couple minutes away. My food was not good at all fish sandwich. My husband said tasted like it was sitting out for a long time French fries were cold even when I tested them on my way home so I guess I won’t be going to that McDonald’s anymore

Update: 4/26/24- Staff was friendly and well dressed, great attitudes, fries are hot and crispy, food looks great! They have been doing something right. Horrible food, horrible attitudes. The food is always mushy and gross. They wanted to charge me like .40c for honey mustard because I didn't get nuggets. Nothing but issues every time we go over several months.

I was surprised. The drive thru moved very fast. I felt like a cool medium blue frozen Fanta & it was refreshing. The cashier was very polite. I would definitely go to this McDonalds again.
