McDonald’s

OMG! This was the most exciting McDonald’s I have ever been to!
Walking up from the waterfront area to catch the Monorail back to the Space Needle last week got me thirsty and I wanted some milk and a place to sit down and drink it.
My first hint that this was not your usual McDonald’s is when I tried to get in the front door but there were 2 sketchy-​looking druggie men blocking the way. I said «excuse me,» and they made way.
Once inside, I noted a SECURITY GUARD! This dude was standing right by the register area – maybe to prevent a daytime robbery? Soon enough the guard yelled at some brotha who he kicked out and told not to come back.
Next, while enjoying my cold milk, I glanced over and noticed a rough-​looking woman with some really cute Ugg-​like boots on. Then I looked up and she was picking her nose in the restaurant. And I mean, really digging! So gross! Then she resumed eating her french fries.
About that time, a very nice manager was coming around and wiping down the tables and greeting patrons. I don’t know how much this poor man is paid for running the show here but it could not possibly be enough to put up with all these nut house escapees that eat and hang out at this Seattle Mickey D’s!

Looking for a quickly to eat was on the rush won’t don’t stop at this McDonalds security guard is outside dealing drugs .just a heads up he’s only big big heavy duty size 5x guy with the a big bag of drugs on him… just be safe going there as I was waiting outside. Well he is pushing drugs like there’s nothing going on just be safe walking by there

Horrible and dirty. Management treat their patrons like potential criminals and good luck getting access to the bathroom even when you have purchased something.
The cashiers are sweet and I feel sorry for them having to deal with the 3^rd avenue clientele and the rude people in management.
Added one star because no one has customer service as bad as Century Link. Century Link make those guys look good by comparison.

.god. The WORST experience I have ever had at McDonald’s. And I LOVE McDonald’s (no shame).
I visited this location while on a long layover en route to LAX from Beijing. I had been in China for 10 days and was back on American soil after a 12-​hour flight. Having had an… um…interesting experience with McDonald’s in China, I was dying for some salty fries and a real Diet Coke. Again, no shame.
First of all, the floor was sticky. Always a bad sign. But I overlooked it since I was on a mission for fries.
We ordered and sat down to wait for our food. That’s when the fun began. Not only did it take forever to get the fries (you know, the thing keeping the company afloat right now), but the table that opened up was sticky and conveniently located near a drug dealer who asked if we had any pills. Um, no. The other patrons looked like they had seen better days. I wore my backpack the entire time since I was pretty sure it would get swiped otherwise. This location seems to have a reputation for being the hub of Seattle’s transient/​drug dealer/​nutcase community based on other reviews.
TEN MINUTES LATER (the longest ten minutes of my life), we got our fries. Mission accomplished. Until I ate a few and realized that they were undercooked and barely salted. Noooooooo!!!
I would have complained and gotten a new order had we not been dying to get out of there. Wasn’t worth the time or hassle. Plus, I didn’t have another 10 minutes to wait for a new round since I had to get back to the airport. At least the Diet Coke was okay.
Maybe I have been spoiled by great McDonald’s restaurants in multiple countries and states, or maybe I just happened to be there at the wrong time, but holy hell that was definitely the worst, grossest, and creepiest experience I have ever had at any restaurant. I will never, ever, ever come back to this location. Like, ever.

During baseball season, you really can’t beat $ 0.65 for apple pie and medium fries. For this reason, you can’t really care about service or food quality or any of those other, lesser details in comparison to the price, so I’m giving 5 stars

Not that McDonald’s needs a review… but is there such a thing as no stars on Unilocal?This is literally the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. It’s right across my work and has the dirtiest, meanest crowd in town living inside.

I am calling for a boycott on this McDonald’s location. They lock their doors SEVERAL minutes prior to closing not allowing paying customers access often using an OFF DUTY SEATTLE POLICE OFFICER IN UNIFORM to intimidate people!

This is a pretty good restraunt. The prices are reasonable, and the food is great.
The downside: You need to excuse yourself from all the unwanted people just loitering in front of the door. When you go inside the place is small. The staff was friendly but the other customers were a bit scary. It seems to me this is a hangout for beggars, homeless, drug dealers and drug users. I am surprised they are still open. I suggest get your food to go and eat it elsewhere.

One star for the mysterious censor of my previous review on Unilocal which they pulled with the stament, «this review has been removed for violating our Content Guidelines or Terms of Service.»
I wish they could explain why.

I got the pleasure of installing the stainless steel bird spike on the ledges above the awning. We had to do this job at night. One of my guys turned his back and someone jacked our caulking gun (the tool we use to adhere the spike). My other works hat fell off when he was on the 32′ ladder. The guy holding the ladder was distracted and some Crack head chick walked off with it. We had no idea who had taken it at the time. Until the dumb bitch walked by us 10 minuets later with it in her hand. I ran up to her, ripped it out of her hand and told her it wasn’t hers. We should have been armed that night. All of the trash on this corner were rude and felt they had to be in our way on purpose. Luckily there were no drive bye’s. Something needs to be done with this dump of a corner.

This tiny stretch of 3^rd Avenue (affectionately referred to as «The Blade»), nestled between the ritzy shopping district and Pike Place Market, is perhaps the most terrifying, nay, lively! spot in Seattle.
The folks hanging in and around this McDonalds are unlike any I’ve seen, anywhere in the world. The environment simply defies explanation… you need to see it for yourself.
Looking for excitement? There are frequent violent crimes and shootings within a block of this restaurant so you always have a chance to feel like you’re in an episode of Law and Order!
If you are craving 1280 calories of deliciousness and don’t mind running the gauntlet that is The Blade, this McDonalds is for you.

I was here tonight enjoying a double cheese burger and large fry (order #118) when 12 gunshots went off 20′ from the entrance to the restaurant. Right until the shooting the service was fantastic. I ordered my food and had to go to the bathroom. The floor manager wasn’t handy so it took 5 minutes to find him before I could urinate. Once I got back into the lobby the hostess gave me new/​fresh fries since my food had gone cold. Half way through my meal there were 10~12 gunshots outside and everyone in the restaurant hit the floor. The police cordoned off the surrounding three blocks and management locked the building. Once I resumed/​finished my meal I was politely escorted out of the building. High praise to the staff at this location, they made my visit a pleasure!

I slept here once for several hours and nobody woke me up! ⁶⁄₁₀ would sleep here again anytime I needed.

When you enter the doors please understand you have ventured into the Hell Mouth. To be honest I have never been inside, I’m sure it is within company standards. It is the only Mickey D’s I have ever actively avoided, not that I frequent their stores often. Those poor employees do not make nearly enough for the horrors they see daily.

I know this is a ghetto McDonalds, but I must admit I love coming here to people watch!!! I come here occasionally when work is a bit difficult because this place always makes me smile. Perhaps I like living life dangerously. As many times as I have stopped here, they have never messed up my order and the service is actually usually better than most other McD’s I’ve been to. It’s McDonalds, so normally I think I would give it a two because their food isn’t stellar, but I love the people watching!!!

My kids always want to eat here as I break down once a week.
I see the lines here but, same elsewhere. Security has been a growing issue in some locations too. Kids asked, «what’s the best deal»?
I tell them to look at menu and notice whats similar.
Like save money by selecting the double cheese burger instead of paying higher price for the ¼ pounder? Virtually the same and more cheese. We all look at these things differently, which makes it more fun. Not my idea for survival food but the kids?
Grin and bear it.

Their food will literally kill you.

I went to McStabby’s with the impression I had front row seats to a three ring roach circus of stabbings, dealings, and all manner of shenanigans. Nope. Got my six pieces, fries, and the only coke I saw came as a diet fountain drink. I even sat down in the place to eat my food! Nothing! What a waste. Much disappoint.
Besides, Dick’s is better.

I used to work in this area, with a perfect view of this MCDonalds from my office window. We called it McStabby’s, since you go there if you want to get stabbed. Police are always here, and if they aren’t then it becomes CRAZY. People get shot, attacked, harassed, etc. Just don’t go in. Ever.
There’s a McDonalds in Westlake Center, if you REALLY want a McDonalds Burger.

This is the funnest restaurant I’ve ever been to.
How is it that the most authentic dive bar in Seattle is a McDonald’s that serves no alcohol?
Don’t come here alone at night.
5 stars for people watching!
5 stars for adventure potential!
5 Stars for authenticity!
5 Stars for sense of danger!
