Quick service, the cashier was good– asked for fresh fries for our order. The downside– little seating upstairs. We sat near the bathroom, the line was long! But that’s expected when bathrooms are scarce in the city.

Firstly: it’s McDonalds, so you know what to expect for food. No difference here. We came here because my daughter woke up so early and was so hungry we had no other choice. This review is less about the food and more about the location. Times Square, made the experience excellent. The restaurant had people from all over the world; so many languages being spoken it was cool. And the hot cakes did save the day!

Call me loco but I really like their policy about stray dogs. It’s pretty straight forward-everyday they open the doors and feed every stray dog a Big Mac(courtesy of Ronnie McD). I usually stop by for a coffee and a loaf but there’s usually about 30⁄40 happy pups in the place. Sometimes I tell the other folks there-they’re not barking orders-fido just want some fries to boot. Want to see some happy dogs? Go to the Mickey ds about nooner and you’ll leave satisfied. j know I do! :)

The choices of places to eat in New York are endless. Last time I visited the city, I avoided national chains because I wanted to try as much of the local food as possible. My only regret was not eating at the McDonalds in Times Square. A shot of Time Square is mandatory in any movie about New York, or even with a scene from New York. The billboards are always changing, and many of the storefronts come and go. However, this McDonalds is always ALWAYS there. It has to be the single most famous and likely most valuable McDonalds on the planet. Ordering at this McDonalds is a little different than what you are used to. The lines are closer to a mob, but and when you get to the front you’ll probably find that the cash register is missing an employees. That’s because after the previous customer placed an order, the cashier walked back to pick it up. You can check the marqee on the front of the register to make sure it is opened. Placing your order is business as usual, but you better know what you want. The manager is pacing around behind the counter telling everybody and nobody to «hurry it up!» Either way, don’t go too far after you place your order. Your cashier will be back with your food in less than a minute and you are free to find a table. I recommend sitting upstairs near the window because you get a great view of Times Square and can do some serious people watching.

Food is utter garbage, which is par for the course, but you get what you pay for when you pay for McDonalds. I will say that if it’s late enough and if your drunk enough, it can really hit the spot on a late night/early morning in the city. At least they didn’t jack up the prices for being in Times Square like the rest of the restaurants! :)

Worst dining experience ever. I was there 3am sitting upstairs, drinking my smoothies and eating while waiting for rain to stop. There was two other customers the entire floor and the MacDonald guy made it a point to came upstairs, yelled across the whole floor«its time to go. You have been here 30 minutes.» Are you kidding me. I have been a very regular customer to McDonald back at my hometown. If its true thAt for a business to have a storefront at time square is to advertise the brand not to make money, they are actually doing just opposite. I will be remembering how i was treated by MacDonald that threw me out in the rain when i am still eating and was absolutely not taking space during rush hour.

I really don’t understand why people complain about this iconic McDonald’s. It is in the middle of time square, one of the most crowded places in the world. It’s not going to have the most perfect service so you might as well have an open mind when you eat at this location. At least it is functional and affordable. I do like seeing how many lines it has open and watching how fast the employees move. If clean up sees you just sitting there with no food, they will ask you to leave.

food was prepared at a average rate. lines were long, not surprising since the location of the mcdo was right in time square. but the customer service was pretty bad. workers yelling at each other. no friendly communication with the customers. the workers seemed like they didn’t want to be there.

La madre de todos los quilombos. El McDonald’s donde te encontras a un elmo almorzando. Siempre al paso y a la velocidad de la luz, no como en Argentina, definitivamente la logia es comer rápido y seguir deambulando por el mundo de las luces. Siempre hay promociones a mano x dólar o dos dólares para aprovechar

Customer service is terrible. Mc Donald’s promotes service with a smile but in here, I get rolled eyes and back talk. I had to bite my tongue most of the time. It took almost half hour for two items and they are not organized at all.

The food is generally the same tasting as any other McDonald’s. I was kind of surprised at how slow the service was and how rude the cashier was, as it is obviously a busy and fast moving area.

The fries were hot and yummy! The restaurant was fairly clean for how busy they were. The service could use some work. The young worker was talking with someone behind me as I was trying to order. When I asked for extra sauce, he told me it was to late, even though my order had not come up yet. I asked a manager for ketchup and a knife and she scowled at me, but got it. The place is extremely busy, but the service was fast!

Worst McDonalds in the world. The staff are not serviceminded at all. The guy at the counter felt tired and annoyed. I asked a staff member on the floor where the food would come and she barely looked at my when answering me. It’s also very dirty and not so cosy. Shape up McDonals Times Square — starting with your staff

This store is often ranked as one of the top 100 McDonalds in the USA and that has more to do with its location(Times Square Theater District) than anything else. Keeping with the theater theme, the whole place feels like you’re backstage at Broadway show, and like a backstage Broadway production, it can get hectic here. As far as the food goes, come on, Hamburgler, you’ve had it all before. Same menu that you might find in say, West Virginia or Kentucky, but like those McDonalds, this is as good a place as any to keep your eye out for McDs’ most elusive food creation… that’s right, burger guys and dolls, I’m talking the McRib. Yes, as tasty and rare as a unicorn with barbeque sauce, the McRib might well make an appearance any day now. However, for now, you’re the star of the show at this McDonalds which sports more lights than a Broadway Theater. One of the better McDonalds in NYC, this spot is the perfect place to take a break from hectic roll of Time’s Square. So pull up a seat and keep your eye out for someone famous or the McRib.

Go to this McDonald’s if you want to fall in love. I did. It had been a long morning at the hospital, where I make the petri dishes. I swab your cheek and flick the spittle-bits into a dish and wait to see what grows and then you’ve got a voicemail telling you you’ve got strep throat. Sometimes I leave the voicemails in a French accent, to try and make it fun. «Twelve nuggets,» I ordered of the man behind the counter with a bushy black mustache. «And for you, ma’am?» the man behind the counter asked, gesturing to the person behind me. «Oh, we’re not togeth – » I started to say, and then I turned to face the woman who I would fall in love with. If angels have angels, she was that. Her cheekbones were like lateral buttresses on the ship of a god, supporting the holy portals of her eyes on their voyage to meet mine. Her curves defied geometry and beguiled the eye with their enchanting wiles. Divinity had a body and a face and a car to drive to this McDonald’s, and now I beheld it and it beheld me. «Hello,» she said. «I’m sorry, miss, but I think I’ve just fallen in love with you,» I said. «I consent to being loved, and love you in return,» she said. Time stopped in the McDonald’s. Mouths froze, gaping in preparation for the arrival of a McRib. The hands of customer and cashier met for eternity, two fleshes made one around $ 0.37 in change. A globule of ketchup hung in midair between packet above and small fries beneath. We kissed everywhere in the McDonald’s. We kissed on the countertop that held the napkin dispensers and plastic cutlery. We kissed in the Stow ‘n’ Go Seating storage area in the minivan at the second window of the drive-through. We kissed in the forest of the counter man’s mustache. We kissed in the minds of the overweight nurses sitting at the second table on the left when you walk in. I kissed the nape of her neck, closing my eyes sensuously. When I opened them again, I realized she was all nape now, one big nape, begging for kisses. Reality pulled away from us, and us from it. «You are on my lap,» said acclaimed TV actor Michael C. Hall. My love and I looked down and saw he was right. We laughed, embarrassed. How silly of us! «It’s fine, you can stay,» he said, but my love and I were already locked again in sweet kisses. «I won a Golden Globe,» whispered acclaimed TV actor Michael C. Hall. «I want to take you away from here, to someplace tropical,» I said. «To Tahiti.» «But we’re already there,» she said. We were. Tahiti as far as the eye could see, Tahiti everywhere. Natives appeared and handed us coconuts filled with expensive cocktails. «But isn’t it problematic that we are exploiting your culture for our pleasures?» my love asked. «No, it’s cool,» said the natives, and they flew off into the sky on their jetpacks. My love and I swam naked in volcanoes. We gulped down every drop of the sea. We stood motionless on a cliff for a hundred thousand years and let the wind erode us, and bit by bit we became dust, intermingled and whipped across the Tahitian landscape. Laws broke down around us, outlines blurred. My love’s neurons grew connections to mine, and our thoughts mixed and spun together. I was my love, and my love was me. «Some people say Dexter loses focus after the fourth season, but I think it’s still good,» said acclaimed TV actor Michael C. Hall, but he was far away in time and space and we could not hear him. «I have to tell you something,» said my love, speaking with the colors of the aurora borealis. «What is it?» I asked. I had become the concept of ideas. «I am made of sawdust,» she said, and she was. I opened my mouth to speak, but only sawdust poured forth, and beetles. My lover was disintegrating, eyes hardening and cracking and flaking. Her hair was weeds and her hands were rotting wood and her mouth was slime and I tried to kiss it but it was too gross. «We could never last,» my lover cried to me as the last bits of her splintered. «Don’t you see? Nothing is permanent here. All is merely passing through. And so, too, with us.» «Wanna see me do a backflip? I can do a backflip,» asked acclaimed TV actor Michael C. Hall, but we didn’t want to. I tried to grab her, but she was nothing but wind and dust, swirling away to nowhere. My love was gone. She had electrified every sense I had, stimulated, delighted, overpowered me with pleasure. And yet, so soon after, here I was, alone, empty, every cell sluggish, vaguely regretful I had ever had the experience in the first place. She was the McDonald’s of my heart. «Here are your nuggets, sir,» said the man behind the counter. I steeled myself. «Thank you, monsieur,» I said with a French accent, trying to make it fun. «I’ve been nominated for seven Primetime Emmys, and I’m in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway,» said acclaimed TV actor Michael C. Hall. We walked home in the rain, arm in arm. Two stars because the nuggets were a little soggier than I’ve come to expect from McDonald’s.

One of the less shitty Mickey D’s in town. And yes, this is the one right smack in the middle of Times Square. Why does this place not suck? For starters keep in mind the review takes into account this a McDonald’s. So it’s a 4 star review in relation to other Mickey D’s and not outside of the fast food universe. With that in mind — I like the fact because of the huge amount of foot traffic here you will tend to get your orders hot and freshly made. The fries here are also good because there’s constantly someone there churning them out to keep up with all the orders. That’s a good thing for people looking for a relatively fresh, hot meal. The lines here can get crazy but it also moves along quickly. This is a far cry from the Burger King a few blocks away by the Port Authority Bus Terminal. That place is literally operated by a couple of random zombies who happen to want make a few bucks. Here they do a good job of keeping things moving and orders usually fly out quickly unless you’re asking for some kind of special order or have a specific request. Anyway, for a McDonald’s this is not bad at all.

McDonalds am Times Square bietet eine der Best Views of the World, und das auch noch recht kostengünstig. Es ist ansonsten alles wie gewohnt. Man holt seinen Burger oder Menue, steigt hinauf ins erste Obergeschoss und setzt sich nach Möglichkeit an einen Tisch nahe am Fenster. Man blickt dann zwischen großen McDonald’s Buchstaben hinaus auf den Times Square. Ganz Irre! Aufpassen, dass der Burger nicht kalt wird.
