McDonald's — Restaurant in Holyoke

Quaint place with a standard American fare of burgers, fries, and chicken sandwiches and nuggets (they call them "McNuggets"). I think I saw a fish sandwich on the menu as well, but I'm not certain. There is also a few different types of salads for the herbivores.

Milkshakes, apple pies, soft serve ice cream cones, as well as a concoction that infuses candied bits and nuts (called "McFlurries") into vanilla ice cream are available to address your sweet tooth.

Their menu features not just solo items, but also bundled selections (essentially adding french fries and a soft drink option with your entree) called "value meals."

The value meals are numbered and are available in small, medium, or large.* McDonald's didn't forget to cater to the youngsters with a delightful kid's menu that consists of essentially smaller-portioned value meals AND a little toy for your tot in what they call "Happy Meals."

Don't expect a traditional booklet menu because you will be able to see their entire food options as soon as you walk in to the restaurant--it is prominently displayed in a large video display above the counter where there are three to four registers in which you line up in front of and place you order and pay.

Ample seating in the location but I saw plenty of customers order take-out (you will be asked right-off-the-bat by their staff when ordering whether you want your food "here" (dine in the restaurant) or "to go" (take-out).

With your meal, all customers can choose to have small little sealed containers (about two tablespoons worth) of sauces that folks can dip their fries or nuggets--sorry, MCnuggets--in; sauce flavors include the usual suspects such as barbecue, ranch, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and Mulan-inspired schezuan.

Your old friends ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper come in packets located at a separate station near the counter along with napkins and soda dispensers or just tossed in your "to-go" bag upon request.

As I was leaving, I noticed cars lined up adjacent to the building and discovered that the restaurant allows people to order their food directly from inside their cars!

They have a sign that says "Drive-Thru" and you can order all the same things available inside right from your car using a two-way speaker system connected to a board that conveniently has the menu, identical to the one above the inside counter.

NOTE: You will not be asked "here or to-go" if you go through (or "thru" lol) the driving service; it is assumed you are ordering take-out.

Lastly, I asked an employee (ask for "Monique," very helpful!) if Mr. McDonald ever thought about adding a few breakfast items (for those of us who get hungry in the morning 😉) and she told me they have a whole SEPARATE MENU that is available before 10 AM!

I will review it as soon as I experience it!

McDonald's is a great, very reasonably-priced and convenient restaurant that serves food fast.

Definitely worth checking out if you're ever in my neck of the woods in Massachusetts! Look for a lit-up, big yellow curvy "M" resting on a red base that says, "McDonald's," high atop a pole that is visible from almost a quarter-mile away.

Highly visible sign and I would highly recommend McDonalds if I had a family or a friend or if I met a stranger!

*The size variation only applies to the fries and drink; the entree is one standard portion so separately order another one if you are looking to satiate a...

I just went to restaurant #37294 it was horrible. They took my order quickly in the drive through. When I got to the window they tried to give me a drink and realized I never ordered one.

Then they had me park in order number 1 on the side to wait. That’s fine. But I waited 15 minutes and people parked next to me were coming and going. Some of their food was messed up as well or they left with their order. In that 15-20 minute wait two different people from the restaurant brought me to other people orders not even close to what I ordered.

Finally after watching a few other people go insides after waiting outside as well I parked my car and went inside . I spoke to an employee . I explained my order. When he spoke to his other McDonald’s crew they just shrugged their shoulders and act like they didn’t want to be bothered or don’t know.

I waited 10 more minutes and was asked again what my order was and still jacked it up when I said it back AGAIN.

I waited almost 10 more minutes and finally got my food. I asked for sauce because they forgot and when I got in my car and left - my order was wrong .I checked and saw most of the food on top but the bottom wasn’t the nuggets I ordered .

Finally after all that I was given a bacon burger , medium fries and a McRib.—— I ordered a bacon burger , medium fries and 10 piece chicken nugget and paid $13.99 just to wait almost 45 minutes

233 Whiting Farms Rd Holyoke, MA 01040

Please help them it was awful. I saw multiple people waiting - going back in with wrong orders- only half orders given . They don’t work as a team...

I mean this is one McDonald's I can't complain about at alllllll.

I just get double cheeseburgers. Sometimes with extra cheese (telling you 3 pieces make a HUGE difference) sometimes with Big Mac sauce. Besides on the day. They don't forget.

Today specifically, a busy time around 4:30pm ish it was crazy in line but they got all the customized stuff right, and got through the big line very fast!

Just something about the burgers with extra cheese just hits right especially when craving one lol

ONLY problem, the ladies rest room is filled with germy can catch something HORRIBLENESS. Air dryers are dying out of age because they're known to be gross, and spreading more germs. Even before that little big statement, people would rather dry their hands on themselves lol so it's just......give us paper towels and a big trashcan (especially if someone has a kid and needs to do a diaper change) so that's available for anything.

Y'all are nice tho 😊 and are busy I get it but someone gotta help the ladies room out. Both restrooms, but ladies need it ASAP, and checked way more...
