If you come to eat at this McDonald's be very careful because the branch manager here is getting a cut from "Charles towing" company for towing costumers cars while they eat here, the driver will falsely claim that they are authorized to tow your vehicle from the property if the car has been parked for 20min or more because they are under contract to tow any vehicle off the property. So dont fall for the lies from charles towing company. A month ago I park my car here and as I was walking into McDonald's the driver from charles towing was trying to tow my car away I told him that I'm a customer and was waiting for my food and he replied with I dont care and he took a picture of my license plate and continued to threatened me with having my car towed away so I took a picture of the driver and his vehicle and told him that I'm going to report him to the District attorney consumer complaint office for illegally towing cars and that I will file a lawsuit against him and the company. That's when he drove away fast out of McDonald's I gave the branch manager an earful too because he was running a scheme in order to make more money. So park at your own risk at this McDonald's and remember that you have rights against any illegal towing in the city and across the state.

Read moreI usually visit this location on the weekends early in the morning as soon as the drive-through opens at 0500. I have only ever been inside to dine twice; once with my kids, and once in the morning, when I didn’t have my vehicle with me. With most of my experience at this location being limited to the drive-through, that’s what I’m here to talk about. This location has always been relatively quick. Food is usually always hot especially if you get there right after the drive-through opens and staff is usually pretty friendly. They work hard because this location is open till 0400 in the morning and then they close for an hour and reopen at 0500. There is, however, one guy who works the drive-through, who I can’t tell if he’s enjoying his time there, or if he’s coming down off something. When you normally go through a McDonald’s drive-through, one might expect the standard “Hello. Welcome to McDonald’s. Will you be using the mobile app today?” This fellow! I drive up to the speaker. Dudebro: ‘h’lo?’ Or sometimes it’s ‘How AAAAARE yoooooooooo!’ With the expected pleasantries dispensed with, I’ve resorted to using NATO phonetic alphabet so no misunderstanding about what letters I’m calling out. So, no reply from me but something like a ‘Bravo-Victor-five-eight’. He’s no dummy. He understands. But he also knows enough to assume your name if you are the only code there. One time, I pulled up to hear my name rather than the customary ‘h’lo?’. Lately, he hasn’t been there as regularly but it’s a...
Read moreVery discriminatory staff. My friend and her 10 year old daughter tried to pickup a mobile order. One of the managers, Fili, was initially helping them but after realizing my friend spoke little english, started to take advantage of her by delaying service, started serving others first. Another staff tried to help with the order but Fili told that staff no and that she’s already working on getting the items on the order. After 30-45 minutes, there were multiple people that arrived later but still got their food and left. Another manager, Jennifer, came to assist and asked for the mobile order number but couldn’t find her order in the system. If Fili was already getting the order, how can Jennifer not find the order? Fili was intentionally delaying service. Jennifer looked at the list of items ordered on the phone, grabbed them (missed a few items, couldn’t get a happy meal right) and gave it to my friend. My friend asked to see if she can file a complaint on Fili but was brushed off by saying she’s too busy. On top of this review, we will file a...
