McDonald's — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

We all know that expecting your order to be 100% correct at a fast food restaurant is crazy...especially the drive thru. I have had constant problems with McDonald's all over the island (specifically Oyster Bay and Hicksville). They offer a Double Quarter Pounder Deluxe, but they never deliver on the Double aspect of that menu item (forgetting the extra meat patty). Maybe it is because the Deluxe version of the Quarter Pounder (just lettuce and tomatoes added) is a relatively new item. However, it is even more upsetting that they put the sandwich in a Quarter Punder box with the order receipt taped to the box to "help" them "remember" that this order is not a typical quarter Pounder. Essentially, they are stealing from me every time they fail on the order. I have reached out to the stores, websites, district managers, etc., but I get the same cookie cutter response and free sandwich offer. It is not the money but a simple request to have employees trained on how to read a monitor in the kitchen or the actual order receipt on the box. They are so rushed to get food out that they just go through the motions...and on many occasions, I have gotten undercooked meat where it is pink in the middle. Now, that is getting dangerous. I have been trying my hardest to avoid McDonald's for these reasons, but sometimes when you have hungry kids in the car and you need to get something real quick before or after a school program/event, road trip, etc., you are left powerless. I wish Oysyer Bay would allow another fast food restaurant in the area to at least drive some competition so that maybe the McDonald's would feel the need to improve, but apparently McDonald's was able to secure that location and not have any other competition in a 5...

This is by far my favorite mcdonalds in long island and mainly due to the old school play place. My kid plays and it brings me back memories when I was a kid. It's awesome, and even better without all the hard edges and jagged spots that I grew up with.

Overall the staff is nice, the food is as good as any properly ran mcdonalds, plenty of seating and multiple areas to hang out. The main dining area is separate from the play place, that also has its own dedicated seating, which is great if you don't want to experience the madness of children creating havoc.

They also have an arcade area that you can play some old school games, I hope they keep it maintained, it's super affordable and has tons of old fighters, like tekken, street fighter and space shooters on them. You can spend all day here.

They host birthdays with dedicated private rooms. These are one one of those unique old school mcdonalds that must be preserved. I feel a lot of the modern mcdonalds lost that charm due to the maintenance required to keep up with all the aesthetics and safety requirements.

I'm going to try my best to visit this establishment often, can't beat the Crayola colored chairs that snap back so many childhood memories. Good job to the owner of this...

February 16, 2019 – The Glory Days of This McDonald’s

Back on February 16, 2019 — before the pandemic changed so much — this McDonald’s was more than just a place to grab a quick meal. It was a community spot where families could bring their kids for fun events and memorable experiences.

That day, they hosted a special event featuring Spider-Man, along with singing and entertainment for children. The energy was incredible — kids were laughing, parents were smiling, and the whole place felt alive.

The playroom was another highlight. Clean, well-maintained, and full of activities, it was a safe space where my kids could run, climb, and play to their hearts’ content. They absolutely loved it, and it made visits to this McDonald’s something they looked forward to, not just for the food but for the fun.

I’m sharing this review after quite some time, but it’s worth remembering just how special this location was. I truly hope the management considers bringing back these kinds of events and family-friendly activities now that we’re past the peak of the pandemic. They created wonderful memories for children and parents alike — and I’m sure many families would welcome...
