I go to the drive through occasionally for a Diet Coke and fries, but mostly to talk to the sweetest man who works (almost daily) at the second drive up window. He seriously makes my day and always makes me feel like 100 bucks. He calls everyone “mija” or sir and makes sure I have everything I need. He is the epitome of hard work and human connection that you don’t get much these days. Fries and Diet Coke always taste great which is a plus!

This location is my usual go-to because they’re usually pretty fresh, but over a fair bit now, Juan has been in the drive through when I go, and his positive and friendly energy has become one of the main reasons I look forward to my morning coffee run. I find myself even feeling a bit sad when I don’t see him. So shoutout to Juan in the drive through, man deserves a raise for his excellent customer service!

When I first wrote a review on this McDonald's I didnt think 1 star was earned, in fact I thought it should be -5 stars. Yet I went back and have been doing so for the past few months and have been given the best service I have ever been given by any chain restaurant combined. The Gentlemen named Michael is a true leader and makes every experience memorable. He knows my order and calls me by name. This place went from -5 stars to 1000 stars! I always look forward to going here! Thanks for everything!

The chicken nuggets were the best thing in the whole entire world while growing up. Thing is, sometimes they forget things. For example, a while ago, my mom only got one bun with her burger. She was not happy so we didn’t order from McDonald’s as much as we did before.
