McDonald's — Restaurant in Chesterton

When they actually have pies, this is what they look like. These pies are my 1 guilty pleasure. I get them often with my coffee, for the past year, I go to a different McDonald's. I generally spend $75 to $150 per day at a McDonald's, BK or Wendy's buying my guys lunch & coffees. So driving an extra 10 minutes is a pain but it's better than raw cold burgers or burnt cold pies. I just stopped there yesterday giving another chance & my order was completely wrong, like not even the same food on my receipt, type of wrong. Spent $25& got $11 worth of food. I don't go back & complain. I just go elsewhere. I drove 10 mins away & reordered, not only was my food good & right, I didn't have to pull around & wait 30 minutes for cold burnt food. Get it together, folks, it's an easy job! McDonald's makes it easy & fast, follow the instructions. You may be tricking corporate with the pull around & wait, but you're not fooling your customers.

I intentionally never order custom food so it can't be screwed up, typical order 5 to 10 #3s, 5 to 10 large black coffees & 2 strawberry cream pies. Not 1 thing custom. I understand when I order 10 double ¼ pounders I'm going to wait but when I wait 35 minutes, it should be right, fully cooked & hot.

I'm all polite & smiles, but just know I'm pissed. & you cost your boss $20k to $30k over the last year by me driving to burns harbor or valpo depending on what project I'm on. My office is in chesterton, so no matter where in Porter County my guys are at, it's easy for me to hit your location. I'll try again next quarter. You have a couple of months to get it together. Let's see if someone is reading these.

Oh & on a side note to all McDonald's, if someone pulls in at 10:25 & you say 1 moment please & have them wait 5 minutes, don't be shocked when they ask for breakfast, I know the menu changes at 10:30, but I got there at 10:15 waited in line 10mins & you had me wait until the menu changed then tell me it's impossible to order breakfast. Nothing...

McDonald’s is one of those places you can always count on, no matter where you are. It’s fast, convenient, and you always know what you’re going to get, which is why it’s been such a go-to spot for us. Whether it’s a quick breakfast on the go, grabbing lunch between errands, or stopping for a late-night bite, McDonald’s is always there to hit the spot.

The menu has a nice balance of classics and new items. We love the consistency of staples like the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, and fries (which are still some of the best you can get anywhere). At the same time, they keep things interesting by rotating in new sandwiches, limited-time items, and seasonal treats. The breakfast menu is also a big favorite—it’s hard to beat an Egg McMuffin and hash browns with a hot coffee in the morning.

Service is usually quick and efficient, which is exactly what you want from a place like this. The mobile app makes things even easier—you can order ahead, customize your meal, and take advantage of deals that save you money. Drive-thru is always convenient, and when dining inside, the seating areas are usually clean and family-friendly.

One of the things we really appreciate is the affordability. You can grab a full meal without spending a ton, which makes it a great option for families or anyone on the go. Plus, the value menu and bundle deals are nice for keeping things budget-friendly.

Of course, McDonald’s is also great for treats—whether it’s a McFlurry, apple pie, or just a classic soft-serve cone. Those little extras make it more than just fast food—it’s comfort food.

All in all, McDonald’s remains a reliable favorite. It may be simple, but that’s part of its charm. Consistent food, quick service, and prices that make it easy to come back again and again. Sometimes you just can’t beat the...

Though I'm not McDs biggest fan, my wife is. The place is always clean. The staff has always been great at being friendly, polite, and helpful. Never have had an issue with having to wait longer than average.

I personally think the burgers are to greasy so I usually just get nuggets. No complaints on those. So I can't give an unbiased opinion on the food quality.

The one thing I do look forward to when we're out and she wants McD's, is the sweet tea. That I can give a true review on for the Chesterton location. During the summer when out running errands I like to stop and grab a sweet tea to have in the truck for the day.

Whichever employee who regularly makes the sweet tea does not believe in using sugar or they do not know how to measure. It is a rare occasion to get tea that is sweet. You can tell they tried to add sugar...maybe. But it is not sweet tea. I've basically just accepted that I have to drive to the McD's at the truck stop in Burns Harbor to get a good sweet tea.

Occassionally I'll stop here in town for one, hoping they've gotten it right, and am disappointed most of the time.

Yes, I know it's a petty review over just a drink. But I was very clear to begin with the fact that everything else about the place is great. I just want some sweet tea every once in a while and not have to drive to another McD's to get...
