I am extremely disappointed with how this location operates and, more importantly, how people are treated here.
First, as a DoorDash driver, the wait times are consistently unacceptable. Orders are regularly 30 minutes or more past the expected pickup time, even when the restaurant appears fully staffed. During that time, drivers are losing income and opportunities to complete other deliveries. This level of delay is unwarranted and shows a lack of respect for delivery partners’ time.
Second, I personally witnessed a manager (photo attached) behave in a shockingly rude and dismissive manner toward an older customer who calmly asked for a sundae that had been forgotten. The customer was polite and patient, yet the manager slammed the item down and walked away without a word, not even giving him time to ask for a spoon. What made this even more disturbing is that the customer was a veteran, and he was treated with complete disregard. That type of behavior has no place in customer service, especially from someone in a leadership role. That poor man has done more for his communities than ANYONE in the McDonalds restaurante. She clearly has a authority complex where her own staff hates her.
Additionally, the overall work ethic at this location is deeply concerning. Several employees appeared disengaged, unmotivated, and uninterested in doing their jobs. I observed staff standing around, contributing little to nothing, while orders continued to back up. At one point, an employee even openly talked about leaving mid-shift. The lack of professionalism and accountability is glaring. The amount of cuss words that are said every time I come into that place when kids are present shows an immense amount of lack of consideration!!!
This is a decent neighborhood, and establishments like this should be held to higher standards. Jobs should go to people who want to work, care about customers, and understand basic professionalism. Right now, this location reflects poor management, poor training, and poor attitudes across the board.
I would strongly advise management and corporate to reassess their leadership and staff expectations, because the current experience is unacceptable for customers, veterans, and delivery drivers alike.
There is so much more I can say but I think my post captures a bit of everything. I really did have 30 minutes just observing all of this and trying not to go off. I knew it wasn’t going to do anything. Similar how I know corporate won’t do anything, even though they see these post. They will also suggest a link. Please don’t send… I’ve wasted enough of my time posting this.
Update: 2/16/26
I arrived 6 minutes before DoorDash pickup time and I accepted the order at least 3 minutes prior to that. When I arrived the shake and soda was ready, but essentially waited 20 minutes for the entire order to be completed. Ryan was working hard to complete orders so I can even be mad. But, whoever the female was with an injured hand was just there on her cell phone multiple times. Ridiculous. I see less people working here and good. Out with the old and in with quality people that enjoy being employed. This place has a lot more to go before it’s somewhat adequate for fast food – 20 min isn’t. Moreso, the customer got mad at me for its liquify shake.
And FIX YOU ORDER SCREEN!!!!
These employees do everything to ignore clients that are at the register or in line. How else are we suppose to know you are working or received our orders.

First of all she said they’re closed at the moment because “she’s the only one there” which is a lie I saw OTHER people in the back and they’re were NO CARS when i was eating my food she decided to make after some convincing because i ordered something small instead of feeding my brothers. She gave me 13 nuggets instead of the 20 piece and forgot my buffalo sauce and she also had no hair cap on…sounds like people want to get paid to chill instead of doing their job…We went there mid day a week ago and the manager (Katie i think her name is) said she couldn’t take our order because there was too many people even though they had a full crew…this woouldnt be the first time I’ve reached out to cooperate and got people fired and it won’t be the last. Hint: they love showing up unannounced so y’all better shape up and do your job…I have plenty of stories but this should do it for now.

OK, so this McDonald’s is pretty new opened within a couple months. I have been there a few times just as a quick option.
1)The first time I went there, I got a meal and a Oreo McFlurry the Oreo McFlurry was not stirred at all and I thought maybe they just simply forgot so I asked the lady I said hey can you stir this? She said ”I don’t know how to use the stirring machine” Weird but OK.
2) The second time I went there, I ordered a Double quarter pounder meal With no pickles and no onions and add bacon. I received it and it had pickles and onions, and only one piece of meat, So obviously, I took it back and told them that I didn’t want pickles or onions and it’s missing a whole quarter pound patty. When I received the replacement, the burger was plain, no ketchup, No pickles, no onions no mustard.
3) The third time I went there, I got a double quarter pounder and it was extremely undercooked. That is the picture I am posting.
4) The last time I went there Yesterday, Friday, October 31 I ordered a quarter pounder with no pickles no onions, And a new golden snack wrap with no lettuce. When I received my order, the quarter pounder had pickles and the snack wrap had lettuce.
Now I am not one to normally complain, but this is getting extremely ridiculous. Also, the way it’s set up when you walk in the cash registers right there but then there’s like a wall So you can’t see the kitchen, and therefore the kitchen staff cannot see you waiting to make your order. I have no idea who this manager is or Why they are not training people to do the job correctly, but it is crazy when I’ve been there 4 times and all 4 times something has been wrong.

Zero if I could. But today was the last straw with this shitty location. I get your busy and maybe understaffed but how can you completely forget about on your customers. On top of all of this yall still gave me the incorrect food. How stupid do yall have to be to read what on the order sheet. Its common since. Oh wait I forget thats rare now a days….. I do appreciate the lady at the front tho she was very nice and offer to remake my food
But unfortunately I decline because im not wait another 20 mins for fast food

So I order at the kiosk two hamburgers and a large sweet tea. The order was to go. I sat down and waited 25 min later still didn’t call my order. A group of young kids came in ordered and got there food in 5 minutes. Two damn burgers and a sweet tea. The inside was not busy at all. Not hard to do. After I saw that I yelled to get a manager and had a Karen moment to which I asked for a refund I didn’t want the food just my money back so I could leave. I got my money and left. This is a new McDonalds but if your staff is crap your business is then associated to crap. Fix this location it has potential. Send in undercover boss or something and see how crap this management is.

Unlike the experience Chris had (or was it just a paid post?) Mine has been pretty good every single time I’ve been there, which isn’t that many. I prefer “REAL” food like Detwiller’s or Publix. Either one will never dissapointt!! And you get it your way. But, when it’s a last resort as a “Quick Option” as Chris stated, It’s the best of the worst garbage and health hazard risk. But for this review, I will say that all of my last 4 visits were surprisingly a good experience. Food was fresh, hot (not a pannini press), and the fries crispy, hot and fried once, unlike other McDonalds. So I gave them 5 starts, not because the food is healthy, but because when in a tight spot, I rather go there if TacoBell (nexdoor) is closed. McDonald’s and Burger King were the “GoTo” places in the 70’s. But we’re exiting 2025. I say, if all else is a “No Option”, give this place a coin toss. You might have an experience like I had, or like the other negative reviews. Either way, you’re smart enough to figure that out by yourself.

Employees are incapable of monitoring their ordering lanes for customers and allowing line skippage and time delays aswell as rude responses when brought aware of inconsistence . Management needs to do a better job of allowing timely orders for a fast food restaurant and not delay customers in the ordering lane for negligible time.

Ordered online ahead of time because I didn’t have much time. I opened the bag and it was half unwrapped and stale by touch. The fries were barely warm. Only thing that was good was the sweet tea. I threw everything away when I arrived at my destination. I’ll make sure to never come to this McDonald’s again.

Got home and realized they messed up my order. I came back and was very polite about it and said it’s no big deal. An angry little short man who was wrapping food turned to his coworker and out loud said “it’s crazy that some people are too lazy to cook from home and have to order from here”.
Ive been sitting here for 45 minutes waiting for my food with maybe 1-3 people that have dined in since. Turns out they set my food on the counter now after remaking it and never told me it was done nor called it out. Now they are remaking it AGAIN. The whole staff are whining at each other and some lady is now complaining about me as if this is my fault.
The manager walked out and the employees immediately started talking crap on her in front of me. Unbelievable. Some of us have to work 18 hour shifts and want something to eat because we’re tired, yet you can’t handle an 8 hour shift putting the fries in the bag. What a sad existence for these people.
Update: Got food. I debated walking out because I’m worried with the attitudes that someone spit in my food. To the kind lady in the jeans and had the tattoos who apologized and snuck an apple pie in my bag, do yourself a favor and get out of there because you are too good for that place.

We placed our order with the kiosk and no receipt came out. It showed being processed but we stood for over 20 minutes without any action. They became quite backed up and had an issue with their system pushing the orders through. We finally had to tell the manager we were still waiting and then she had to find the order and fill it. They had at least 8 people working back there but the drive through seems to be the priority and the dining room is an after thought. This location won’t be a repeat for me
