McDonald’s

It’s on a very busy street and is adjacent to Circle K. It’s more like a rest stop than anything. Not the nicest neighborhood so be aware and lock your car! Central has all kinds on «characters»…
The play area is not very big but sufficient and approved by my 4 year old. It’s kept clean (the employee came to take trash off the tables and mopped while we were eating in the area) and I assume it’s cleaned often.
I don’t see many good parking though because there’s a row behind the building, the front is pretty much for the gas station and convenient store customers so what’s left is along Central and bus stop… Not my first pick since there are TON of transients on the street. I’m just waiting to tire my mini-​me so we can get outta here as quickly as possible.

I am giving this McDonald’s an extra start just because I realize that most of this location’s problems are not their fault. That being said …
If really need fast food SO badly that you (quite literally) don’t mind walking through a crowd of about 20 – 30 full-​time homeless residents — living at the adjacent bus stop — to get it, go here. Did I mention that the homeless people will almost certainly panhandle you and that they frequently argue with the store staff and security guard?
If you’d rather skip that experience, head east on Central about another mile and go to the one closer to Tramway. There are far fewer homeless people there and the climbing gym for the kids is much nicer.

Its McDonald’s so the food is pretty predictable the big downside here is location. This is the «international district“at its finest. The good news is they do have a security guard around.

Avoid this location. All bad things.
