★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Zach · Dec 2025

The food isn't exactly good in the first place and this location also doesn't do free refills. Why would you ever go here when you could go to literally any other restaurant and get a better experience?

★★★★★ 5.0 Hasan Ahmed · Apr 2024

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this McDonald's, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. First and foremost, the cleanliness of the restaurant left a lasting impression on me. It was evident that the staff takes great pride in maintaining a spotless environment. One of the highlights of my visit was the freshness of the food. Each bite was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to freshness. Overall, The friendliness created a dining atmosphere that was truly exceptional. I can't wait to return for another memorable meal.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Erik Garcia · Feb 2026

I think this is the first McDonald's I've ever ran into with no drive thru service. It was fine and I got my food, but be prepared to use a kiosk and if you know Spanish, it would probably be helpful. They speak English too, but it looks like their regulars are all Spanish speaking. Mind you, I only visited in the morning, so that's when these people get up to WORK. Maybe later in the afternoon when the more privileged wake up, there is more English.

Picked up my order at store today and after I got home, I opened the bag and saw a hash brown that’s half eaten. Pretty gross.

★★★★★ 5.0 JB Bursal · Jan 2026

It's McDonald's, so you already know the quality and product. What makes this place great is the convenience of location, bathroom availability, gas, and most importantly is the Late Hours. This location is great for long travel stop and convenience of late hours 🙏.
