McDonald’s

As a resident of East Lansing, MI, I have been a Michigan State fan all of my life. I very much appreciated the Green and White theme on the inside of the restaurant. However, upon close inspection, one will notice that the golden arch that has the «M» for McDonalds is yellow, and the surrounding sky is blue. Blue and yellow? These sound like Michigan colors to me. This is also why I only drink Mountain Dew.

Food at McDonald’s is great, but be warned though that if you go here later on the night it will be packed. I think one time me and my friend waited about 10minutes in line before we gave up and went somewhere else to eat, because the line didn’t move at all.

Five stars for a McDonald’s? Yes, but only because their coffee is so darn good. The absolute, hands down, no holds bar, best coffee around. If their coffee could talk it would say, «I’m delicious,» but coffee can’t talk, that’s just ridiculous.
Now let’s compare. Tim Hortons coffee just tastes weird, like it was burnt, then got cold, then rewarmed in a microwave. I’ve had the Pike’s Place from Starbucks and it isn’t bad, especially with cinnamon. Dunkin Donuts is good, but for the price and taste, McDonald’s has everyone beat. This review can apply to virtually any McDonald’s because their coffee tastes just as good in NYC as it does in Detroit or East Lansing.
This particular McDonald’s is always clustered with hungover students in the morning and drunk students at night. Sometimes the service is quick, but most times not so much. They also play the worst 80’s and 90’s music imaginable. My last two visits I had to endure the musical styling of Alannah Myles in the song «Black Velvet.» But to be frankly honest, I’ll make concessions for their coffee. Plus, this McDonald’s has a second floor which is quite a novelty.
Prices are relative per area, for example, a cup will be more expensive in a big city or a nice suburb. So even though a medium cup will run you $ 1.19 or $ 1.26 out the door in East Lansing, expect to pay a few cents more or less elsewhere.

The people at this establishment deserve a pat on the back of the royalest sort. I just recently arrived on campus, and was wondering my way around during welcome week when me and a friend realized we were starving. It was around 1:30 in the morning that the hunger hit us, so we started looking for some place that was open that late, which needless to say, only gave us a hanful of options, the reigning champion of which wound up being McDonald’s.
I won’t lie, I was pretty reluctant to go there at first, mostly because I was starving and it didn’t help that the place was packed out to the street. When we got into line, it couldn’t have taken us more than three minutes to get to the register and place our order. They gave us our reciept and we stepped out of line, waiting for our numbers to be called. Approximately five minutes later, we both had our food, and despite the fact the burger joint was an utter madhouse, they still had a cheery disposition when they handed our food to us. It would have been pointless to even bother to try and sit down in the place with the large crowd swarming around it, so we just moved out to the curb and enjoyed our food as a seemingly endless supply of strangers walked past us. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the need for a late night snack and want it quick. I’ve been in several McDonalds’ that are completely dead and yet they still take twenty minutes to get me an apple pie and a drink. This one however maybe the pinnacle in fast food achievement, and for that, I salute you!
