McDonald's — Restaurant in Atlanta

This place is an incredibly strong argument for why we should all be vegan. It's bad enough what we do to cows when they are living. Nothing can justify the treatment they receive from this chain after they are dead. Now lets just pretend the burgers were always made of 100% beef and the shake machine doesn't break down like an emotionally unstable teenager. Without regard to my health and better judgement, sometimes I take a masochistic stance towards my food and eat at McDonald's out of convenience more than anything. That is where the irony comes in. The term "fast food" becomes laughable in this context because they treat time like an illegitimate social construct. Timeliness is just a suggestion there, definitely not the rule. I promise, I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that I have waited more than 7 minutes for a meal based on the time on their own clock posted by the drive-thru window. This wasn't during dinner hours or the lunch rush, but at 5:45 am! I have the pictures to prove it. It's not like I asked for a perfectly cooked, dry aged medium rare filet mignon, potatoes au gratin and grilled asparagus. We are talking about a egg McMuffin and hash browns. Keep in mind that the clock only starts counting from the moment you reach the actual window to receive your food, indicating that there was no one in line in front of me. I wasn't asked to pull into their VIP (Virtually Impossible Parking) spaces, I was just stuck sitting there watching the decline of the millennial generation through the window. When I was a kid, I remember there being an advertisement featuring a young man named Calvin who got his first job at McDonald's. The running joke was that anyone could get a job there, anyone. This unfortunately must be the case because time goes by the same way it does when you are on a treadmill or awaiting STD test results when your order is pending. Alright this rant is over. I'll just leave you with this. (Spoiler Alert)If you happen not to be Thanos in possession of the Infinity Stone that manipulates time, go...

2023-05-10 The dining room soda fountain has been out of service for over three weeks now. Dropping to 1 star.

2023-04-07 Great counter service from the two young gentlemen fulfilling orders today at noon. Positive attitude and pompt service goes a long way.

2022-07-13 Update Service was decent today despite a lot of construction worker patrons in the dining room, so I'm bumping up my rating. The large lids were out and, to my shock, they were restocked by the time I went for a refill. Keep going in this direction... Now if only we could get the (advertised, but never fulfilled) delivery to numbered tables.

2022-06-10 Update No ketchup again. They had ketchup on Wednesday (6/8). Now they're out again...

2022-06-06 Update No ketchup. How does that even happen at a McDs? I placed an order at ~1210. It appeared on the in progress screen and disappeared. I saw the ticket for my order sitting in a pile and an employee picked them up and walk away with them. It turns out she must have decided to throw it away because when I then asked about my order she couldn't find it. She then made up my order which I received at 1246. Pretty sorry service.

OLD Review This location has improved dramatically over the last month. It was getting to a point where there was never any (non-diet) soda available, but now they have a nice big soda machine in addition to the freestyle machine (tech. there are two freestyle machines, but one is permanently broken, apparently). There were also much more frequent fights and disruptive behavior between among the employees and sometimes customers, too. This appears to have improved as well.

There's clearly still some kind of leak around the dining room soda dispenser, which makes this area extremely slippery and dangerous. I nearly fell at least once. Unfortunately, I have to dock a star for this alone as it has been an issue for months without any resolution. Mopping the floor several times a day (which, to their credit, they do regularly) is not a solution and remains a perpetual...

I must say it was the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had at a fast food restaurant. Before I walked in there was signs outside saying that it was newly renovated. Upon walking on the door it looked they it was completely under construction. None of the screens work to view the menu, the kiosk was out of service, their was no line structure, the employees wasn’t a acknowledging the customers inside the was solely wondering at the drive thru. It was until after 12 minutes of waiting in the lobby without being acknowledged that I said something and I had my little 4 year godson with me all he wanted was a kids meal. The young lady replied to me this is not the line to order the line is over there. So I advised her there wasn’t no sign advising where to order and no one haven’t been at a register since I came in. Then she said with an attitude I’m the only one up here so if you need to order stand over there. So I took my Godson and stood near the register to order. After waiting another 10 minutes for her to come take my order. During the duration of my time in the restaurant Dashers from doordash was trying to pick up customers food and had to wait an extended period of time to be acknowledged. Once the dashers gave their order a lot of them was force to cancel the orders because they ran out of McChickens. Also they had one give serve food in a construction under uniform and some filthy boots advising he just left his construction job and been working an hour like that and didn’t have time to change. There was customers who worked there off duty in plain clothes going in the back getting her food. Last but not least, all the employees was cursing continuously.This has been the worst experience ever not only do the renovations need to be completed but a whole new staff is...
