This USED to be the bottom of the pit for a Mickey D’s…It looks like they cleaned up their house a bit and hired some folks who actually 1) know how to do their job and 2) are friendly. Really can’t ask for more than that at a McD’s. I needed to grab a quick bite before a workout, and yes, you CAN actually get something half-way healthy at McD’s…just skip the fries and coke and order a grilled chicken with NO mayo! Ask for extra tomatoes and onions and that makes it more jiucy… and add mustard too. The gal who took my money was SOOOOOO sweet! Guess that made them earn my 3 stars today. It is convenient to my house, but I’ve had some horrific experiences here… This time, 3 stars. Out.

Ok, I was wrong. Went back and the girl who was working in the drive thru was beyond rude. Won’t be back.

The store was clean, my order was correct and the free wifi worked quite well as I nibbled away at my Egg McMuffin without getting crumbs in the keyboard. By that point, the coffee had cooled below three billion degrees and I could drink it. My complaint? The music was WAY too loud and every often there was a new burst of something particularly annoying. I guess it’s to keep people from hanging around too often? Well, it worked. It’s a short walk from the light rail station.

We were on our way back from Carowinds and decided to stop off at Mc Donalds on the way to Greensboro. We were hungry and needed to use the facilities, so we decided that McDonalds was the best option. Like another reviewer claimed, yes– this location is about 3mi off the highway. We went inside, and I asked my husband if I should order while he and my daughter used the facilities. He said no, and I’m glad he did. When I entered the bathroom with my daughter, there were three stalls, two of which were out of order. The only working stall didn’t have a properly working lock, and I accidently opened the door on some elderly lady(sorry)! That wasn’t the worst of it. When we walked in, the bathroom wad infested with flies. Not just a couple, but hundreds of multi-generational flies. It was disgusting. To top it off, the bathroom had one measly trashcan. When I went to throw away something, I stepped on the pedal to open the lid, and was knocked back by the most horrendous stench– someone had thrown out a diaper in the trashcan. Now, being a mom, I know diapers can get stinky, but this was worse than any Diaper Genie stench that I have ever experienced, suggesting that this diaper had been here for a while. Now I have a weak stomach, so it was no suprise that I started dry-heaving. When I got out, my husband said I looked like I had seen a ghost. He said that the fly infestation was equally bad in the men’s room. Needless to say, all three of us lost our appetite, and we left the building immediately. Now, let me preface this by saying that I was a manager in the food industry and my husband worked at McDonalds in high school. We have never seen a restaurant, let alone a McDonalds, that was this nasty. If the fly infestation was that bad in the bathrooms without resolve, can you imagine what is going on in the food prep/kitchen area?! My husband immediately called corporate, and the representative was very helpful and sympathetic. I will also give due props to the regional office, because they did send us an apology letter and vouchers for free meals(though it is not very helpful since we aren’t from the area), so I am happy with the corporate response. Futhermore, I know that this particular McDonalds ISNOT representative of McDonalds as a corporation whatsoever, but it does make me think twice about utilizing drive-thrus. This location should be ashamed. I don’t know how health inspections work in North Carolina, but I do assist in health inspections in Michigan, and if I saw that kind of infestation locally, I would shut this place down!

This location is so GHETTO! The parking lot has had the same huge crack running the entire width for years now and it’s enough to knock out your alignment. I guess the owner of this location is depending on his visitors to be mass transit riders so repaving his parking lot must seem like a waste of money. News flash: McDonald’s is struggling all over the United States — you’d better get more concerned with bringing in a better type of consumer like the ones that actually drive themselves.

Easily the slowest and dirtiest McDonalds I’ve been to. My Big breakfast order literally took 17 mins this morning when I asked to talk with the manager, he said it happens and tried to offer me a apple pie. The tables are all filthy. This is the norm for this location.

One of the worst McDonald’s in the area. Staff here are Rude and completely apparent that they hate the location as much as I do. Most places wouldn’t really care and switch out a happy meal toy for me; but this place really made it a big deal. WOW! Not wearing any gloves and talking over my food! Completely disgusting! When I made a complaint about it they the ones that seemed disgusted. REALLY! WOW#2 I actually saw staff outside smoking… not cigarettes!!! It looked like a scene from the movie Clerks! Look im from NY and not even my hood was this ghetto. REALTALK! I could imagine what goes on behind the scenes if it looked like this in plain sight.

Stopped here for lunch because I thought they would be quick. After looking At the line for the drive-thru and seeing it 8 cars long, I saw the line inside and thought that would be the better option. Boy was I wrong!!!’ At first there were 2 people taking orders. Then one left to do other things with 6 people in line. The other cashier was dealing with someone who had just dumped out all their change from underneath the car seat and she was taking forever in counting. That’s CMS education for you! So 10 minutes late, I get to order. Three times I have to tell her my order is to go. At least the food came out quick. On to the drink machine. I filled my cup with what was labeled unsweetened tea. When I got to the car and took a sip, ii found out this was far from unsweetened. It was diabetes in a cup! Arghh! So there are several morals of this story… Drive thru is faster here even if there are 8 cars in line. Always taste your tea before pouring a full cup. And when you think you will get in and out quick, you won’t. And finally, NEVER trust fast food places!!! Ever!!!

Hello friends, It’s McDonalds!!! 24hr. I can’t validate any other reviews. Everyone seems on point when I come here. But that just may be my great smile and personality. Who knows. But it serves its purpose. Free Wi-Fi TTFN

QI, People, QI. I was on a road trip passing through Charlotte and thought I would stop at McDonald’s for dinner. When I got off the interstate, I did not realize this location as about three miles off the interstate, but I went anyways(not good during rush hour time.) I was only going though the drive through. I saw person before me drive away and realized they were missing part of their order. Then my turn comes. Drink and hamburgers come out, but not fries. Had to remind employee part of my order was missing. I was directed another way back to the interstate seeing that if I waited a couple of miles on the interstate I would have come across another McDonald’s(closer to the interstate).
