McDonald’s

You should go to Los Robertos right next door instead ! Seriously good family run mexican food ! They got a drive thru too…
But if you are having a Big Mac Attack or its late night in this tiny town…
This mcdonalds is pretty average. But their CocaCola mix is so «on pointe»! Perfect ! I also gotta give an extra star for being open 24 hours ! There is nothing else (beside the casino snack bar on San Carlos) open 24 hours in the entire Globe– Miami area. Sometimes you get the midnight munchies ! They have a McCafe. The drive thru has two order stations and moves about 100x faster than Jack in the Box nearby. Easy access &parking for RVs & boats. They should offer a playground as this is «a rest stop «for many travelers. They removed it when they remodeled and added seating. An outside shaded seating area and pet relief area would also be welcome additions at this rest stop.

I agree with the review below that it will be a busy location due to the proximity to the road.
Three of us drove through on the way through town for some lunch and went through the drive-​thru. There wasn’t much of a wait, the service was okay, but the food seemed a tad cold and my chicken wrap was tough to eat.
Nothing else to report. It’s a McDonald’s.

It’s a McDonalds so that should tell you everything you need to know. The food and service here, as with most fast food in Globe/​Miami is hit or miss. I have gone and had decent food. It was hot, tasted good, and came quickly. Other times it was warm at best, or wrong.

Every time I go through there they always short my order also you have to ask for napkins ketchup etc, poor service

This is a very busy McDonald’s due to the location on two major highways. The old building is gone, replaced by a new modern style McDonald’s which is bright, clean and even the crew seems to be more upbeat and friendly. Big parking lot. A perfect halfway stop on our trip up to Show Low.

This place will never cease to have customers because it is McDonalds. It is also at a busy intersection in town. They have a brand new restaurant. Since opening their restaurant, they have hired many new crew members. I do not think these guys were trained as well as they could be. I worked at a McDonalds back in high school for 2 years. I am familiar with all protocol and how things ‘should’ work.
I have had 2 cars in front of me and had to wait 14 minutes in drive through. There is no excuse for that. I have also had a 12 and 8 minute wait in drive through. I have had no issues with going inside to order. They keep the restaurant very clean and have very polite people at the front.

This place is so popular because of location; not service, food or atmosphere.
I guarantee if there was still a playground, I’d be giving it 4, maybe 5, stars. After a few hours in the car from Tucson on the way to the White Mountains, I stop here to give my toddler a snack, use the restroom, and let him stretch his legs before the several hours more of car trip yet.
This McDonalds used to have a playground. It was old school, and you’d definitely burn your legs in the summer months on all the metal apparatus. However, when I was a kid and drove to White Mountains with my parents, and we’d stop at this very same McDonalds 30 years ago, I was THRILLED to get out and run/​play/​jump/​scream for a blessed few minutes before I was cooped up in the car again.
Then, in the last few years, this McDonalds went through a renovation. While the inside looks new (er), the bathrooms are still dodgy and pretty run down. And worst of all, during the renovation the playground was removed in favor of more seating. Which no one uses, because they mostly get food to go so they can get back on the road.
McDonalds, please… I beg you to reconsider. Please put back a playground. I would order more food, so we could sit and relax while my son burned up some energy. I would stop at your place exclusively. I would overlook the dodgy bathrooms. I will personally come back and give you 5 stars. Just bring back the playground.
In the meantime, in the absence of a good place for your kids to run and play, the Taco Bell right next door is nicer inside, has nicer and cleaner bathrooms, and food is good (for your standard Taco Bell).
And since you’re probably Unilocaling this as driving to or from the White Mountains, safe travels!

For frequent travelers through Globe to the White Mountains, take a look at your favorite potty-​stop. The McDonald’s has totally remodeled and it is gorgeous. Therefore negating the earlier comments running it down. The staff seems to be infected with joie de vivre by the brighter, cleaner surroundings.

Gross.

Dirty is all I have to say about this location. I know the owners too (shame on them for letting it be run so poorly)
