McDonald’s

This McDonald’s was typically my go to location for a quick visit to the restaurant. The enfield location is closer to me but the quality of food and level of employees working at this location made it worth visiting. I don’t know what changed but something did. Some of the current staff are not friendly at all. Food is built very sloppy and lazy. And not even hot! Management should really address this soon.

This is not a review of the McDonald’s in Ellington per se which I believe does a wonderful job, but rather of McDonald’s new «lobster roll.» Since I absolutely love Lobster Rolls, I had to taste McDonald’s attempt at one. Their sandwich should more appropriately be named, «Lobster Salad Roll» as it had about 98% lobster salad, made up of minute pieces of lobster meat, one or two small chunks of actual lobster meat, and lettuce. Yes, they actually had lettuce in their lobster «salad» roll.
While the sandwich was decent, it is McDonald’s poor attempt of a New England favorite. I gave it two stars because the bun was toasted and tasted fresh, not stale.

This is a nice McDonald’s always clean and has very pleasant staff at the front counter. Service is quick and efficient and your old standby favorites seem to be better than most. Not sure why it should be so but the breakfast sandwich there is way better than I’ve found elsewhere, perhaps it’s because management runs a tight ship, I’m happy they do.

This is a nice McDonald’s as McDonald’s go great selection

CUT AND PASTE — I’M LOVIN IT

Coffee is always terrible and the customer service is as good as the coffee. Except for the manger shes always great.

One time my hot chocolate had bleach in it!!! I was told that the cleaning solvent wasn’t rinsed out of the machine proir to making my drink (they didn’t notice the color was wrong for hot chocolate). Another time the floor in the dining room was so slippery that I almost fell down (got a lame excuse why it was that way and why it couldn’t be fixed). I’m giving two stars because the food is OK for McDonald’s standards otherwise I would be giving only one star.

I need to disagree with a prior reviewer who recently reviewed this place. It is the WORST McDonald’s in the area, we went here about 4 times in the last year so we know. It’s close to home and when starving we went. It gets worse and worse every time. The food is overcooked, the place is dirty, there is annoying country music BLASTING, which makes us hightail it out of there asap, and they just don’t care. Filthy tables when the place is always empty, and last time we went our Angus burgers were way overcooked and thrown together, probably left over from hours ago and reheated, and with stale buns. We will never go back. The one in VERNON is GREAT, organized, clean, the food is always decent, GO THERE if you want McDonald’s. Avoid the Ellington one at all costs, you’ll be glad you did.

one of the best mcdonalds i have ever been to. i would have to actually say they never overcharge, never miss the order, and everything is perfect. I know it is sad to write a review about a mcdonalds because they usually are the same but this one is completely different, this one is worth driving a few miles past the vernon mcdonalds.
