McDonald’s

I would give them 0 stars if possible. Needed to use the restroom before ordering, but a very rude lady said no. They required you to de a 7 person line and order before using the facility. Walked 3 blocks to Waffle House instead, use the restroom and ordered after. Just common sense. If you cannot provide reasonable services to your patrons, maybe you shouldn’t open a location in a depressed area

I prefer to not give even a single star if I can
The BBQ source is so sweet
The ice cream machine doesn’t work
The fries are cold, but it is the right time for lunch!
Whatever, I won’t come and eat for a second time

Heed my warning my fried food Padawans. Tread through these **1-​STAR** waters carefully and expect to do so very slowly.
This McDump should be avoided unless you absolutely (I mean 100%) have to eat at a McDonald’s downtown. I mean like you have a Sith Lord chasing you and you just HAVE to have sustenance to survive.
To start off approaching this Mickey Dee’s requires a fair degree of persistence. As you stroll, the ‘Itinerant Men of Leisure’ harass you all the way from the nearby Marta station into the restaurant, in line, while you eat and back to wherever you came from. Management has no ability to remedy this situation outside of their door.
However, inside the door they do next to nothing to control this problem for you. So, next thing you know you’re in line and waiting… and waiting… annnd waiting (all the while getting hit up for money by folks of leisure). Does the staff stop this harrassment? No.
No. Because they are too busy being curt and rude to the paying customers in front of you. All the while you’re hearing in front of you pleasant phrases like ‘we ain’t got that’…‘the machine be down’…‘that isn’t my job-​tell her to get #$%^ a#$ up here’…peppered in with «numba Fitty Five» «NUMBAAA FITTTTTY FIVE» at 6 billion decibels in your choice of disinterested or hostile tones.
Not mention all the while you hear all manners of dischord coming from the kitchen. Loud personal threats, vendettas and ‘that ain my @#$^ job.‘
Finally, you arrive to place your order with the obvious son/​daughter of a DMV clerk. You are greeted with the words «I can hap the next customer» You pause again to let the food warden belt out «numbaaaaaa fitty six… FITTTTTTTTTTTY SIXXXX!!!» …“FITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTY SIXXXXXXX” Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as prisoner Fitty Six claims their prize. So you ask for a side salad. «We ain’t got that» and a disinterested stare. Feeling the hate filed glare… you belt out ‘Parfait’…“We aint got that” …“Chicken selects?”…to which you get a huff and ’”Whatsauceyouwant?”
«Sissssssty Nine… Sisssssssssssssssssssteee NINE. Who hassssss SISSSSSSSTY NINNNNNNNEEE???»
«What sauce do you have?» …the response is some ‘honnamustaranchblucheehotpicyfillindablankunintel­ligble’ nonsense doled out at warp speed. So as to dodge the conundrum of not knowing how to decipher the secret McDonald’s speed talk dialect… you then say «Chicken club» and assume all is well.
«That Five dollars and fitty nine cent» she says. You pull out a ten… to which she retorts «I only take cards.»
Luckily you had a card after waiting ten minutes. You humbly take your winning lottery number of Seventy-​eight to the now very full prison-​like waiting room and await the food warden to call your lucky number.
As you wait you notice the scenery around you. The trash cans are overflowing. The tables are disgustingly dirty. The bathroom smell oozes out to the lobby.
.
You are jarred out of your obvious fantasy…
«Seventeeeeeeeeee nine… SEVVVEEEENTTTTTTTEEEEE Nine!!!»
On several previous occasions items that were key ingredients have been left off. This occasion is not different. Your club is given to you again without bacon. Upon asking «where is the bacon» you are again greeted with «We outta bacon.» Upon asking why you weren’t told they were out of the one thing that added cost, you ask? An ‘I’m sorry?’ ‘Would you like something else? ’ ‘Would you like a refund?‘
No. You get an angry stare and a dismissive walkoff.
Ohh nooo… don’t you go a complainin’ neither.
Your cashier has already promptly informed you that she indeed is not rude. The manager who is hiding somewhere in the back, upon arrival will be rude and inform you that she also is not being rude. When you talk to the owner she will immediately take a defensive tone and you will be told that [1]she is very engaged [2] gives her managers the support that they need [3] that she is sympathetic to the attitudes of her employees that essentially its due to the conditions around the restaurant [4]…you just give up annnd
Of course you realize that with this support the restaurant that they have on multiple occasions run out of change, napkins, and countless items and key ingredients on the menu. It’s all part of the ‘we ain’t got that’ charm offensive
This owner clearly doesn’t care about providing a decent experience for the guests.

I have to hand it to the other reviewer who called this the worst McDonald’s in the US. I have been to many and this one really stands out.
I went to pick up an order for somebody else. Lowlights: walking through throngs of people to get to the door, people milling about in a loose «line» inside, 4 – 5 people ahead of me yet it somehow takes 15 minutes to get to the counter and place my order. Totally apathetic employee who refused to give me more than one sauce – I’m not a hoarder, I promise, I was just picking an order up for somebody else and didn’t know which one he wanted.
After I placed my order, I had a 15 minute wait until the food was ready. During that time, I had an opportunity to take in the scenery. Every interior surface was dingy and/​or dirty. I was constantly swatting flies, even at the counter when I (finally) picked up my order.
NEVER AGAIN.

This place is disgusting. One star seems awfully generous. You know those days when that egg McMuffin craving kicks in and you just can’t shake it? If this is the only McDonald’s close to you, just suffer through that craving. You’ll be okay. Or if you prefer the stench of old urine, being harassed by the downtown homeless population, and listening to children scream like banshees this is the place for you! The behind the counter staff is the most apathetic group of people I’ve ever seen. Maybe they’re pissed they’re stuck working in a sesspool. No McMuffin, chicken nugget, or milkshake is worth my sanity, hygeine, or safety. Stay away!

im only giving this trash two stars because the staff is pretty friendly HOWEVER
1.they are always running out of stuff
2.ghetto and bummy customers linger around
3.very crowded

Hate this place, only come here when I’m desperate. I was on time, heading to work, thought I stop to get something to eat, took FOREVER, like it always does and even though I stayed put, didn’t walk off or anything, they were calling people who had came AFTER me, then finally the lady noticed me still standing there and asked for my number and had to go get it, I think they skipped it!!! That is absolutely ridiculous, then the wait made me late. Though the lady was nice, its too ghetto and the service is terrible, I never ever ever see lawyer types here and the reason is obvious, really should shut the place down…

This is the worse Mcdonald’s I have ever been to. The lines are always long & customer Sevice forget it. I sometimes have to walk out w/​out my food call the manager so I can pick up my food a other day. If you can go somewhere else. If it let’s me i’m not giving no stars. ok I have to put a star but DON’T COME HERE!!!

If you love being hackled by men that are about nothing, love smelly homeless people standing next to you in line and asking for food, or even them sitting right next to you then you have come to the right place!!! Oh don’t come early in the morning (around 7am) and expect a full breakfast… haha…sucker! Most of the time, they don’t have hashbrowns, sausages, or bacon ready (when asked why they said their manager has the key to the fridge and they are late). BULL! Ever heard of a spare key??? Anyway, the food is. well…McDonald’s food.

McDonald’s is such a large corporation that it is surprising that its operations aren’t regulated by federal controls. Whatever your political affiliation may be, one visit to this disgraceful s***-hole will convince you that intervention is required immediately.
In this location, along the strip used as a primary site for the zombie TV series «Walking Dead», the food is cold, hard, and stale. The service associates trudge through glassy-​eyed government workers and the nearly homeless. Ketchup is not offered as a self-​service condiment for fear that it will be taken and horded.
Oh — and let’s not forget that while McDonald’s continues to occupy the restaurant niche of Fast Food — this Forsyth Street instance has pioneered the art of the 15 minute Quarter Pounder. Like someone once said, «Time is the absence of money.»

This McDonald’s is always very crowded during the lunch hour. Like David said, all types of people roll through this place every day. My orders are always right and the cashiers are nice but I do have complaints. I used to kind of like coming here on my lunch breaks until this homeless lady who smelled very bad came and sat at my table. I thought she wanted my sandwich, which she was not going to get because I really wanted it. However, she asked if I could buy her a cheeseburger, which I didn’t mind. Then she asked if I could just give her the money because they were going to kick her out if they saw her, ummm NO! I had to get up from my table and relocate because she wouldn’t leave! Don’t ever sit by the door in here, geesh!
The last time I went it was so crowded that you could barely find somewhere to sit and could barely find a clean table. I haven’t been back since but when I get a crave for it again I will because it’s the closest. Oh yeah, don’t try to go to the bathroom, I’ve tried 2x and it’s always locked (I know I’m pulling/​pushing hard enough), I guess that’s to keep the homeless people out. I think if you ask they’ll unlock it.

I can only imagine the types of people who roll through this place every day. I’ve only been here a few times around lunch and it’s always a show, mostly because of their location diagonally across from the Five Points MARTA station. Despite all that, they seem to keep a good handle on things.
There are lots of TV’s and free Wi-​Fi for those who might be on their lunch break (either relaxing or working). Thumbs up for that.

The lines seem long, but they go quick and your food is hot… and as fresh as McDonald’s can be.
