My husband was not thrilled about going in and We went in to look for a model that my husband could do. There was not a big enough selection for His interest. I like Michael's. Since they are a Smaller store each category has limited space. Which is unfortunate.

I went during a high volume time and after a slightly longer than normal weight I received a great order and my macchiato was perfect which is a big plus

Extremely slow. Wait time was not satisfactory. 1 apple pie, 2 burnt bacon strips and small tea was $6.50

We dined in and had the best experience. The ladies we so sweet and kind. I loved how one lady sang my name when my order was ready. The lady at the register was patient and helped me with my code. The ladies brought free ice cream and they had to dance for it.

I go to this McDonalds when I’m in a crunch for time at lunch. I can always depend on them getting me through the drive thru fast and they gotten my food wrong one time of more than 50 visits last year! Food is fresh, employees are excellent!
