McDonald’s

Grimiest doors I’ve seen since the last I-​95 gas station bathroom.

You got my drive thru order wrong and then I had to sit in line for ten minutes to have you fix it… Only to be told that your all day breakfast doesn’t include McDonald’s best selling breakfast item, the Egg Freaking McMuffin. I’m leaving hungry, and just lost ten minutes of my life.

Slooooow…
We parked. Kids went in to get their meals because the driveway isn’t moving. The same 5 cars have been sitting idle for 15 minutes. Ridiculous. «FAST» food is a thing of the past…
Ps: the women’s bathroom was filthy but someone was mopping outside the bathroom door. Yes. Outside. Not inside where it mattered most.

On our families final few days of vacation we needed a quick fast food stop. With three exits of McDonald’s to choose from this one with FREE WiFi seemed a better choice than the other two within mere miles.
Upon pulling up around 8:30 on a Friday it was surprisingly busy with the front of the lot full. I immediately thought locals hangout. The lot appeared clear and no debris was in the door way upon entering. However, from being at enough McDonald’s I could tell this was an 80’s design and probably would not be updated.
A look inside revealed that that this was indeed a locals hang out and on this night a seniors group of around 15 was gathered in the front and smelled out of town blood. The rest of the dining room was pretty empty. No updates of any kind and torn out seat cushions adorned one of the booths. The tables and seats were in poor condition from age. I did not see an issue with litter and only one dirty table so we are not even talking close to the worse I have experienced.
Order was taken and the employee had no facial expression and looked like she did not want to be there. shocker! Food order came out correct and food was hot. However, the employee specifically asked it the order was «to go», or «for here» and it came out in a bag. Maybe it’s just me, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine. A staff person kept repeating the order be picked up. However, I told her I did not know it was mine, my order was «for here». The manager came over and told the employee to put it on a tray… that was nice. However, we soon realized sundaes were not on the tray. Upon going to the counter to retrieve them they seemed suspicious that I was trying to pull something. Eventually the manager again said fix them.
Something that my kids will not soon forget is when Dad finished his meal and walked right into the women’s bathroom. Yeah 12 hours on the road in the rain can do things to your head I suppose. But the signs were so worn on the doors you could hardly make them out. My daughter came running in after me shouting that I had went in the wrong restroom, pretty classic and luckily no guest… whew! For the record there was toilet paper all over the ladies rest room. Then men’s room was clean, but the two mirrors were completely rusted out at the bottom and just nasty.
Great location just off I95 and yes they do have FREE WiFi which is better than other locations. There is also a children’s play area if that is your thing to bring kids to these filthy areas to play and pick something up.
For goodness sakes put this on the list for a tear down and rebuild soon. I would say a 2.5 and round down. The fact this store has not had a review since 2008 and that was a 3 tells me nothing has been updated.

This is my regular stop off of I-​95 whenever heading South from central NC. There’ s a gas station right in front of this place, the lines are usually short, but when long they run quickly, and they keep the restrooms neat.
I actually tried one of the new McDonald’s McCaffe coffees here — iced vanilla latte and it was very good.
