Not from the area so this may be normal, may be a fluke. But this was the single worst experance Ive ever had at a McDonalds. Placed a mobile order and parked in spot two and checked in. 45 mins later still no order. I also had not seen a single curbside pickup go out. I went inside to ask if perhaps they had forgotten our oder because they were very busy. Things happen I get it. Stood there for 10 mins no one manning the front, save to hand out pick up orders and delivery. Went back to my car and called, when they finally picked up i asked if my order was still comming. I was asured it was on the side they were just back logged. Ok np I am in no hurry really. waited another 20 mins. At the 1:15 min mark I went back in and yelled back to speak with who ever was in charge. Finally got my order. with sandwiches just tossed in the bag, half wadded in paper. Im a very patient person but over an hour for a small pick up order. If the locals know some thing I dont about the way things work here Im sorry but, never have I seen a more disfuctional McDonalds.

Wish I would have asked for his name, but Saturday, July 12th around 8:40 PM I was in curbside spot number 3, waiting for my ice cream. This man comes out to let me know the ice cream machine isn’t working and gives me my other options. He listened to me and waited for me to make my decision. Long story short, I received a very tasty vanilla milkshake with lots of hot fudge! I could have left sad without my sweets, instead I actually got a better deal than originally ordered! Anyways, small thing that had a big impact. Dude with braids in the black smock with a headset on— genuinely truly appreciate you :)

Clean restrooms, quick and easy kiosk ordering (or vis-a-vis if preferred), clean and comfortable dining room area, and ample parking near the door for dine-in patrons and dedicated mobile order pick-up stalls. Dine-in breakfast order was warm but not exactly hot as if fresh off the griddle/fryer, but generally tasty and satisfying. Overall pleasing stop.

Granted, McDonald's is a staple for a majority of the world but this location is a reason to never go back the legacy we all grew up with.

It took almost 30 minutes to get my 2 burgers I ordered through the drive-thru. The only reason it was received under 30 minutes was because I left the designated parking spot for drive-thru in order to find out what could possibly cause such a delay. It turns out, they didn't even make the order at all. 12 minutes to get to the window from ordering, 8 minutes waiting at the parking spot and then an additional 9 minutes for them to actually prepare the order that may have never been made had I not gone in.

The issue was purely self inflicted as every employee in there displayed absolutely no ownership of the issue. There were 3 other unhappy guests also waiting for their orders and 1 of them saw their order number disappear from the screen and never relieved their order either. The "manager" had no sympathy or apology for the atrocious service provided and simply walked away while uttering profanities to himself and the other staff.

I'm definitely not "lovin it" and I'm sure the proprietor and the McDonald's corporation won't either. Two thumbs down for this unnecessary disappointment...

What seems now to be in a trend amongst Americanswe are downsizing in our restaurants are the customers liking it not so much your sizes are getting smaller you're not wanting to feel your fries to the top so people are ordering a large and in reality they're getting them out of a medium and if they or medium they're getting in reality the amount of a small and if they order a small they may just actually get a small or a child's Happy meal fry with an extra fryer to so no customers are not happy about this downsizing it wouldn't be so bad that you're downsizing to quote unquote have healthier meals for your customers except for the fact that you want to raise your prices for way too much so McDonald's fill your fries cuz you're doing very poorly on that people go there because of your fries you can ask around and your customers will tell you the main reason they choose McDonald's is for their fries and for the kids so they can play on the equipment not so much your sandwiches or your drinks or your prices you used to be the cheapest place here in Muscatine however now you're just as expensive as anywhere else and you're serving less portions no longer Muscatine favorite sorry McDonald's not sorry you did...
