McDonald’s

The food is disgusting. I am not sure how you can mess up a burger and fries but both are dried out as if they had been prepared and stored waiting for a long time.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt once but a second time confirmed it I went there twice when there was no quicker option and I was very hungry. Both times now I couldn’t even finish. Stay away from this location.

Tried the new buttermilk chicken, very disappointed. Paper thin and I couldn’t even taste the little bit of chicken there might have been between the coating.

This MCDs is certainly one of the better locations in NYC, but is still horrible. The line always seem so long and things occasionally go missing or are wrong with my order. Other than that, the menu and taste is the same. Shortest Unilocal review ever.

This is a brand new location, with much cleaner, nicer and more modern furniture than most McD’s in the city. There are always several open lines & you will be served quickly (even during the lunch rush hour). You have the option of sitting on 2 different levels and it doesn’t feel crowded. There’s also a 99 cent ATM for those looking for one ;)

I don’t normally need to review a McDonalds, but this one takes the fucking cake for most unprofessional place I’ve ever been to.
Let me be clear — I am not a wild animal, or even a chola in the Bronx, and I do not deserve to be called at like I am one of those two mammals. I’d rather stick a gun in my mouth before eating at this location again.

They take coupons, the food came quickly after placing order on a Lunch time.
The tables need to be a bit more clean. The outside they should really get someone to get those panhandlers away. It’s annoying that you go in or out and they are asking for change. Sometimes they smell.
Back to the food. There food might come out quick, but it isn’t exactly at the «best» temperature. I go here because it’s on the way.

This McDonalds blows, and that’s relative to my already low initial expectations. If I order something, pay for it, you don’t have it, and I get something cheaper instead … then you owe me some money back. Instead I got a whole bunch of attitude like I was really interrupting something much more important the cashier had to do (and then had to debate whether I was owed any money back at all). It sure makes it hard to believe that $ 15 per hour is justified.

Really really bad customer service.
I have very very very low expectations from customer service, but the thing with their employees at this location, seriously, there was this girl who asked for my order by nodding her head, while resting her chin on the register, we took 2 seconds to decide and she growl at us saying «what do you want» in a very thug-​ish tone.
Not cool.

1 $ dollar ATM is always convenient… other then that this mcdonalds is always crowded and has about 2 – 3 bums drifting away inside… not really anything good to say besides that.

McDonalds is McDonalds what can I say, I almost feel weird reviewing a fast food chain since they are all consistently the same.
I visit this particular McDonalds Branch often not for their food but for their 99 cent Fee ATM and sometime to use their restroom, which is very convenient if you are in the area.
I rarely eat McDonalds, but recommend this Branch if you are in the area and in need of restroom and 99 Cent Fee ATM (which both are also available in all other McDonald branches as well lol).

Thanks Unilocal,for reminding me that I HAD to satisfy a craving for fries and melty, greasy cheese between bread and «meat».
Of course, this McD location made me jump through hoops to get that fat. Long lines, rude staff, long wait for the meal after I ordered and paid.
Avoid the disorganization!

This review is about 2 things.
First my local McDonald’s and the diligent and familiar employees there, and second the return of the McRib Sandwich.
I never tasted a McRib previously, but ever since I had seen that King of Queens episode that alluded that Kevin James drove all the way to Canada because he HEARD they still had the McRib sandwich there… I’ve been waiting for my opportunity.
Today, that need was satisfied.
It’s worth a shot. No surprises. No real fat. (i’m sure they pulverize that a million times over, and blend it in). No bones. Seriously, it was decent.
The BBQ sauce is a little better than mass Heinz 57 style, and not bad, with a mixture of onions smattered on there. At $ 3.25, including tax, this was a much better deal than my breakfast today at quadruple the price
Now onto the staff. I’ve grown to understand the flow of this place.
Sometimes they get their signals crossed, but in general, if watch the counter, it doesn’t matter where you stand, just zoom up into that line where the person is waving. Drop your order, and step to the side.
There is nothing else you can do to speed things up. This mostly female staff from probably the same country of origin, and maybe same neighborhood work well together in their own way. 8 times out of 10, you will be out of there in under 5 mins. 10 mins tops!

I’m not sure how else to put this; there are a few homeless people who ask for money at the entrance and inside the seating area. That is reason enough to avoid this place.
It can be pretty disorganized, but chances are if you’re here, you’re fully aware of what you’re getting yourself into.
Weird bit; they don’t have ketchup dispensers in the seating area… but won’t give you any ketchup packets without being asked. That’s kind of like giving me a burger and fries to go, but without a bag.

It’s almost a year since the first reviewer wrote how rude the staff at this McDonalds is. I regret to say that nothing has changed. In fact, it’s gotten worse.
As someone on Foursquare commented, be prepared to wait on line for a LONG time. I waited for 10 minutes and the line never moved. I’ve never had such slow service at any McDonalds, and I’ve never had such slow service in Manhattan. I never thought I’d face this AT a McDonalds IN Manhattan.
When a new line opened up, the server deliberately ignored me and called out in Spanish to a man who had been waiting in another line less than one minute, avoiding eye contact with me the whole time.
I got on line behind him. She chit-​chatted with him and then went and got his food herself instead of letting the staff in the back do it. Another 5 minutes. By the time I got to the front of the line, no «welcome», not even a smile for me. I ordered my breakfast. She took my money and then proceeded to take the next two orders – this time, of course, having the staff (which themselves were working at a snail’s pace) get my food. She handed me the bag with no receipt and no «thank you».
I thought to complain to the manager, and then I looked at the nameplate of the person serving me. She WAS the manager.
I hardly ever have had a bad experience at McDonalds, but I guess there’s a first for everything. From now on, I’m getting my Big Mac fix at Penn Station or any of the other locations OTHER than this disaster at 28^th and 6^th. Just not this one, at least until I take some Spanish lessons, which seems to be the prerequisite to be treated like a human being.

WELCOME. It became patently obvious within one minute of entering this particular McDonald’s that they have a different way of approaching the customer. Maybe it comes from the owner, but WELCOME. Not «May I take your order?» or «Hello» or «Go ahead with your order when you are ready,» just WELCOME then nothing else.
So after being welcomed aloud many times before actually getting my turn to indulge in a childhood treat, I finally made it to the front of the line. Really, it was raining out, I didn’t have an umbrella and this was the closest place to where I was working today so…
Cashier: WELCOME.
Me: (silence)
Cashier: WELCOME.
Me: (places order)
Cashier: (no movement whatsoever)
Me: (silence)
Finally, she slaps a key and it is in. She was actually friendly, but this dynamic was so awkward that I felt like I had been away from McDonald’s too long and somehow lost a part of the lingo between fast food cashier and customer.
Service was fast. There are good McDonald’s and bad McDonald’s and this one was just in the middle. The burger was warm, not hot, but tasted fine. The coke was not sharp and bubbly and the fries were a little overdone. It’s McDonald’s so there are no expectations, but this one just hit the middle.

Filet O F***** Fish, OMG.
I am not typically an advocate of going to McDonald’s but I just had a Fillet O Fish today, and I thought I fell in love.
While walking back to work, I thought of all the ways to justify eating this thing:
380 calories! Probably, 360 w/​o cheese!
Light, and delicious. No Itis after this sandwich, folks!
Tartar sauce! One of the most delicious sauces!
Small enough to scarf it down, and hide the evidence!
I feel like I may become obsessed with this, so please, if you see me running down 6^th avenue to McDonalds, please whack the hell out of me.
