McDonald’s

Thank God I don’t eat McDonald’s food but I truly love their coffee so when I’m working in the area this is the McDonald’s where I have to get my coffee fix– so three times a week at 1:30 PM I walk in and there’s two cashiers working and a lineup of people a mile long waiting to be served– isn’t 1:30pm still considered lunchtime ??? it just boggles my mind and it’s so frustrating waiting for large coffee to go to be made by six people behind the counter chatting laughing giggling and not doing much of anything. But I need my coffee fix I have no other choice so I will stand their roll my eyes secretly and wait for my $ 2.00 coffee.

This place is not great, it’s familiar. It’s the local Mc Choke n’ Pukes in Parkdale and therefore the local gathering spot for every business person, working poor and general miscreant in the neighbourhood. It’s often riddled with sketchy people at all hours of day and night, so the clubbers will see the down and out drugged out or passed out from drink/​meds and just trying to sleep out of the cold in various corners. The tables are dirty and covered with far too many napkins used and not used, the garbage is overflowing, the drink lids are sticky, and the service is hit and miss. Sometimes the cashiers are rude, sometimes not as rude. The food has never upset my stomach which for me is the main selling point. Most people don’t go to Mickie d’s for the ambiance, so take it with a grain of salt. It’s by far not the cleanest place, but it’s not the worst either. For the locals i think it suits us fine. If you want clean and to spend more money, check out liberty village down the road.

I love McDonald’s and this location is the worst I’ve ever been too (Canada or US).
Last night I got in line in the drive-​thru and tried to order a salad (No Salads– at all). Ok, I’ll have a filet o’ fish (No Filet o’ Fishes), ok, well I’ll have whatever you do have. When I got to the cash, I asked if perhaps I could get a coupon to make the next visit a little better since nothing I wanted on the menu was available. The cashier reluctantly said yes, left for a few minutes, then came back and said her manager said no.
I got the food home in about 5 minutes and it was entirely inedible.
I like McDonald’s a lot, but in this case, Burger King across the street would have been a better bet (Burger King!!!). Insanity. Horrible.

This place is absolutely disgusting.
I have never been so repulsed by a restaurant. When we walked in, the place was like a barn. There were used spoons, cups and cardboard containers near the drink fountain and ketchup dispenser. The garbage bins were overflowing and many tables were dirty. I know should have complained. I also know that people are not going to stop going to this Mcdonalds but I certainly hope someone who has authority that works there is reading this. Very disappointed.

People who have lived around a McDonald’s will know they all have kind of a personality with their clientele. This McD’s is no exception. This locale’s specialty is daily get-​togethers of the local… older, «special» people. You know the ones, they get their McCafe, go to the toilets, and you seem them on your way outside the McD’s sitting on the floor against a building wall, with the McCafe cup presented for generous income. They’ll sit together, and as soon as one of their crew walks in they could yell out his name, happy to be together in a McD’s.
That’s this McD’s personality. You usually see the same crowd of people there, the local kids out of school, Filipino adults out of work, and many old white people with a spiritual wolf of the woods t shirt. But it’s all good. It’s McDonald’s, it’s reliable, it’s what you want, and it’s open 24 hours for our greatest enjoyment.
Just don’t always use the toilet if you can avoid it. They’re CLEAN, but you never know what that last shady guy you just saw leaving could have done there. Also they’re too small for the crowd I find.

For some reason, I end up here after drinking nights. I don’t know this area of town at all but found myself here on 4 different occasions. Two times after Concerts at the Molson Amphitheatre and the other times after drinking on King /​Queen west. The restaurant tends to be messy but could be because it tends to be filled with drunk people at that time. Great people watching though — You see some «interesting» people. After my McChicken combo and hamburger on the side, I grab a cab outside and head back to Markham in the wee hours of the morning.

I like the idea of their summer promo. $ 1 for any sized pop or iced coffee. Cool! I love a good deal! Plus, their vanilla iced latte is a high calorie (so bad… so good) yummy beverage. Or so I thought so.
I was at work and just finished drinking the iced coffee I got from this McD’s drive thru. I had literally just thrown the empty cup in the garbage. My coworker comes in and says that she just got an iced coffee from this spot (from their drive thru too) and it had a cockroach in it.
Mmmm…iced coffee, now served with cockroaches! Is that’s why it is so cheap for the summer?!

I am not a huge fan of the golden arches but I can’t really complain about their breakfast… It’s cheap, quick, tasty and soaks up alcohol like a charm!
Move over people of Walmart because the patrons at this McDonalds are some of the sketchiest people I have ever seen! Despite this the staff is nice, quick and generally competent. These three things are key and given how much bullshit they endure (man smelling of urine dumps $ 10 is pennies on their counter and proceeds to count them out loud!), I am surprised I still get served with a smile.
This location has also recently gone under renovation and it looks like they will be the test location for the new McDonalds café. Since there are no coffee joints in this immediate area, I am sad to say that this news made me very happy :-)

The local Mickey D’s. The one everyone in the hood knows and goes to.
If you were a kid growing up in Parkdale you have at least one story about this place. You probably came here for some kid’s birthday party when they offered those here. The old ball pit was probably where you caught your first contagious childhood virus (Probably why it’s not there anymore). A nerd growing up? You probably got your lunch stolen here once.
This Mcdonalds is in the lower spectrum of Mcdonalds the world has to offer. The place is dirty and smells of pee. All day, everyday, the tables are sticky or just plain messy. The service is pretty bad since you’ll probably be served by a bunch of teens who probably forgot about the «fast» in fast food. The food? Well you should know what to expect. It’s not like this place does things different when it comes to the Big Mac.
Yep, there isn’t much to say about my local Mcdonalds. It is of course, just a Mcdonalds.
