BEAWARE Create Your Own Burger only available until 7pm!!! I drove all the way over to try their Create Your Own Burger, which I had read is the first in Canada. I got there at 7:15pm only to be informed that it is only available from 11am — 7pm. So, I had to order off the standard McDonald’s menu even though I told the staff that I drove a distance just to try it. Sigh. Bad enough they wouldn’t be flexible enough to serve it that close to cut off, but the poor customer service provided when explaining that it wasn’t available made it all the more disappointing. All I could do was think of Adam Sandler in Big Daddy complaining about the breakfast cut-off time with a child having a melt down. They have kiosks for people to punch in their own order for the Create Your Own Burger, but staff were turning them off for the evening. They also had table tents that had flip chart style pages for each of your options for the build your own burger that staff were whisking off the tables since it was after 7pm. The Create Your Own in the States has chicken options, but they didn’t seem to have it here. Nice to see you can get REAL cheese(vs processed) options on the Create Your Own menu. They have a big parking lot. They also have a massive outdoor patio for use when weather is nice. Sort of weird. They have professionally made signs talking about how they would be closed an entire day for an event which I have never seen at any McDonald’s. Made me wonder if their nearby Corporate Office commandeers the place to show off their flagship product??? Either way, it concerned me that this place could be occasionally closed or that they don’t offer the Create Your Own later into the evening(say a more preferable 9pm) that, if I go there again, there is a good enough chance that I won’t be able to get what I want or be turned away. So, have a back up plan folks. They had an interesting big square, group table that might be good for study groups if you can wrangle it. Much more seating at this location with lots of different sections compared to most McDonald’s in the City. The pastry I got did not seem very fresh that late into the evening, so I’ll stick with the muffins that seem to hold up better.
