McDonalds is Mcdonalds, cheap greasy food. Don’t really like it and I feel guilty eating here now ever since they put the calorie intake on the menu. I just had to use the bathroom one morning before work. Normally, I would wait to go to the bathroom until I get into work, but I could not wait one morning. I got in a bit early, maybe about 15 – 20 minutes before my workplace opened up… so about 7:40 am or so. I automatically assumed that McD’s had a bathroom so I go in there. Of course a big sign on the door that says restrooms are for customers only, so I buy a iced coffee for like $ 1. After I get my drink I go towards the bathroom, which says knock before entering, which I did, but the staff still has to buzz you in. I get buzzed in, no lock on the door, which I didn’t like, and the floor was SOOSTICKY. It was disgusting. Pee on the seat. Disgusting. Someone didn’t flush. Which was disgusting. Now I know the staff can’t control pee on the seat or if some disgusting human being can’t flush the toilet, but there is no excuse for the floor to be as sticky as it was. I thought my shoe was going to get stuck to the ground and come off my foot. It was like it was never mopped. They need someone to go in there every so often and at least check it out. Next time I’ll just hold it in =/

I was very underwhelmed by this McDonald’s. I can’t believe I’m even bothering to review a McDonald’s because I feel like people should have a general idea about what to expect here: cheap, greasy fast food. However, I felt inclined to write a review after my experience here last week. While walking toward the red line around Boston Common, I realized I needed to use the bathroom before the train ride back. I’m used to cities, so it was no surprise to me that there would be an expectation for me make a purchase before using the bathroom. The two bathrooms were clearly viewable from the street, so I decided to choose this business. I immediately felt uninvited when I walked in. There was a surly-looking woman guarding the bathroom in addition to a big sign saying«Bathroom for customers only» right outside. Jeez, I get it! I ordered a water, which cost something ridiculous like $ 2. I’m kind of a bottled water snob and it was Dasani, one of my least favorite tasting brands. Ah, well. I needed a bathroom and this was my option. I used the bathroom, which was a little dirty, and was on my way. I left with an impression of unfriendly customer service. No one cracked a smile my way the whole time. After leaving, I realized that I had been to the same McDonald’s when I had first visited Boston 10 years earlier. That experience had also not been positive, as an employee had unlocked the bathroom for another customer when I was using it. Additionally, a brawl occurred among other customers. I’ll pick the Starbuck’s for my bathroom needs next time.

Because 2 out of maybe 4 times I’ve ever been in this place a staff member has walked in on me on the john. Or maybe it’s just karma for being a cheapskate and sneaking in without buying anything.

I call this Adventure McDonald’s. It is my favorite McDonald’s, well, it comes as close to making me like a McDonald’s as is possible. Every meal at this McDonald’s comes with a show. 100% of the time something crazy happens. The amount of crazy varies, but sit back with your hot cup of coffee from the McCafe, and be reminded that life is precious and you’re lucky to be alive today. This McDonald’s has a security guard, and from the looks of it, he has a very busy day here. This is no sit back and check FB on your phone kind of security job. He is on his feet and constantly escorting people out of the building or trying to get people out of the bathroom. He has actually had to make people stop having sex in the bathroom. He’s pretty reasonable about it, but if you can’t wrap it up in about 5 minutes, you’re really being unfair to all the other customers who are waiting to have sex in that bathroom… I’d like to think that isn’t a thing, but I saw at least two other couples try to walk into that bathroom together during that visit. Today, I watched as the employees had to try and determine if someone was dead, and then call 911. The weird thing is that no one looked vaguely alarmed. It’s just another day at Adventure McDonald’s. I hope they provide PTSD counseling to their employees.

It’s a McDonald’s. It’s food and you won’t be hungry. If you don’t mind running the gauntlet of homeless outside, it’s not too bad. The inside is fairly clean and seats are available. The lines move quickly and the orders come up the same way. They are a «get it yourself» drink place, so I’d recommend getting your drink while you wait for the food order to come up.

You get what you expect here at McDonald’s. The iced tea is good, and cheaper than it is at Dunkin Donuts. The egg white delight is very good and not bad for you. The people that work at this McDonald’s are very nice and that is despite the nonsense they have to deal with from the folks living in Downtown Crossing.

Fancy décor, but absolutely terrible food. Ordered a Chicken Club sandwich with fries and a large Coke. The fries were undercooked and mushy(usually they’re overcooked, which isn’t good either but at least it’s edible.), the sandwich, which they always microwave, was lukewarm. Usually in other locations it’s at least a little more hot. The soda was tasteless backwash. I know McDonald’s is usually low quality because it’s fast food, but this is atrocious even by McDonald’s standards.

Not sure why the other reviews are for Codman Sq. Wrong address buddies. This place is the McDonalds at Downtown Crossing. Right next door to CVS as your heading down to state street orange line station. This place is the worse. The people that work there are inattentive and mindless. Here is a typical problem I have each time I visit this place. I ask, «Are you still serving breakfast or lunch?» The guy replies«Yes.» I’m like«Which one?» and he replies«Can I take your order.» WTF! Do you not know how to speak English? Simple question that only needs a simple answer. How can I give you my order if I don’t know if you’re still selling breakfast or lunch. They were serving breakfast but you wouldn’t know that because the entire menu they have posted was their lunch menu. Nothing on there about breakfast! I only asked because it was still 10:00 am. Then I ask them for a sandwich, no egg but substitue bacon. Rings up my order and it is handed to me in 2 seconds. Wow, must be wrong because how did they prepare it so fast. I look and of course it’s wrong. No egg, no bacon either. Then I tell the guy and he looks at me like it’s my fault. He’s like, there is no egg on the sandwich. But I tell him that I wanted bacon. He’s like, «Uh that will be extra.» No $hit dipstick. So he proceeds to wring up the cost for bacon($ 1.60 and some odd change mind you for one piece of bacon broken in half!). I also had 2 hash browns but he gives the entire bag to the people in back to add the bacon. Then someone else hands me just the sandwich back! I’m like, «Where is the bag that had two hash browns?» They’re like, «Did you order two hash browns?» OMG these people are clueless.

lol someone got here years before me and said everything I wanted to say. As a former customer I can confirm that they rarely ever have a high stock of healthy choices. They never sold side salads, only the big ones. Also beware the milkshakes. When they ran out of syrup the workers were forced to serve plain soft serve vanilla rather than the one with the syrup. It still tastes good, but it’s not what you paid for. It is honestly better to take the bus or train ride to the next McDonald’s.

McDonald’s doesn’t want you to eat healthy. What? You didn’t know that. Just in case you missed the memo, here’s why: this McD’s is in Codman Square. I went in last week because I wanted a SALAD – you know, seemingly sold at McDonald’s all over the country except right here in the Dot. First sign that ordering said salad would be a challenge: all the pictures on the menu were of burgers and McFlurries. I took an extra minute staring at the menu in confusion, causing the young woman taking my order to stare at me like I was the idiot. When I tentatively asked if they had salads, she told me to «wait a minute» then scurried to the back to ask the manager who responded in another minute that they did, indeed have salads, but only Caesar. When you’re starving and trying to get a salad, this is what you have to do. I took the Caesar but then wanted the low-cal balsamic. Mistake. Only options: ranch and caesar, which the woman kept repeating. It took all I had not to say screw it and order a six-piece, but I took the salad, and the dressing, and went on my way. I was so stressed I had to order a McFlurry to go. Service is CRAZY slow here and oftentimes they don’t have things that other McD’s have, which means that if you’re going there for a salad or anything else remotely healthy, you’re best to keep steppin’, because contrary to what the kids say at the other McD’s(see my other review), THIS McDonald’s is, I’m certain, the WORST one!
