McDonald’s

Not sure what all the fuss is about here. Its McDonald’s. Not sure what everyone expects.
The Emmaus McDonald’s location is far superior than ANY of the others in the area as far as service. Never a line in the drive-​thru and service is quick. Unlike other McDonald’s my order in never messed up! Yes, the interior is a bit dated as other Unilocalers have stated but it has been clean when I’ve been there.
Again, its McDonald’s.

So went at noon today for a quick breakfast sandwich. Drive thru and ordered. Received in good time. Here’s the problem. Not cooked. Cheese was ICE cold and not melted. Horrible. Come on McDonald’s you can do better

Two stars is. Generous. This is definitely a place to stop at only if you’re desperate.
The inside is dated and dirty. The service was awful. (I actually watched a manager yell at an employee in the middle of the place.) I asked for a burger, bacon and cheese. «You, like, want bacon ON it?» Yeah, dude. On it.
Honestly, the burger wasn’t even that good. If it wasn’t for a hangover, I would never have stopped here. Stay clear!

These people have some bad attitudes. Especially this manager with messy dirty blonde hair and lots of ear piercings. She’s openly rude to her employees, yells at them in front of customers, is rude to customers and just overall makes it a bad experience

Typical basic bare bones C-​List McD’s experience.
The food was well… McDonalds.
The service stunk because only one register was open with only one guy taking orders and he was walking away to «assist» the numerous supervisor types bag the orders even though they were mostly standing around and talking.
In fact, standing around seems to be what everyone does best here.
One dude who I guess is suppose to schlep trays in the dining area and clean up after people was just standing around talking with two people in a booth. The three supervisors were standing around talking. The guy on the register, «K», was doing his fair share of standing around.
It looked like a damn PENNDOT work crew. The one positive was that this was a compared to most McD’s easily the cleanest one that I have ever seen.
Maybe that’s because hardly anyone was there or maybe it’s because they employ some sort of cleaning fairy to get things done at night because lord knows that nothing is getting done during the day.

This McDonalds typically has a quick drive thru time and the people at the window are always really nice. Their food looks how it «should» and when they pack up the food, it is laid in the bags how it «should.» I’ve never had an issue with them and the inside is always clean.

I sometimes stop here for a breakfast parfait. Parfaits are borderline frozen and I love that. Usually good fast drive through service.

While one might think that reviewing McDonald’s is odd, on occasion it is necessary. McD’s is what it is as far as food goes… and the cleanliness often varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. I am writing this to point out a couple of things to watch out for at this particular McD’s.
One: price — this McDonald’s is more expensive then any other in the area. Some prices are fixed by corporate in general, but when they aren’t you’ll pay more at this McD’s. Also, they charge extra for sauces. This is becoming more popular at other McD’s but I find it a bad practice so I’ll mention it every time I go in.
Two: Play area — again, this is something that varies from McD’s to McD’s but the play area at this one often smells badly and looks very dirty.
Three: Condiments — we’ve found the condiment trays and napkins to be empty… a lot.
Some of this can be written off to it being so close to a high school, but I have a hard time overlooking spending an extra $ 5 – 10 everytime I bring my kids here because we happen to be in the area.

It’s hard for me to rate a fast food joint in the 4 – 5 star range. But this McDonald’s tries hard everytime to convince me to rate them highly. My dining in to drive thru experiences have been full of quick service, pretty fresh fries and nice people. The dining room is acceptably clean and the kids playground is always a plus. The only downside is the odd entrances and exits along with the drive thru that has you drive downhill to it. You can get the foreboding that the McDonald’s is going to roll down the hill over your car.
