McDonald’s

Well here we are nearly 4 years later and not much has changed. I will not get long-​winded with this review but a few things should be mentioned. This McDonald’s is old and somewhat rundown. There is a frequent problem with the system that takes debit or credit cards being out of order and requiring the customer to have cash on hand. This is usually not discovered by the drive-​in customer until he or she has waited for a considerable period of time in line, only to arrive at the order box to find out that their system is out of order.
The general state of the restaurant as I mentioned is old and it gives the appearance of not being very clean. All other fast food restaurants in town are either new or have undergone serious renovation to bring them up to par. This McDonald’s is a prime example of being in need of a serious overhaul. Order accuracy is questionable at best.
They do however have the best coffee in town and this is the only reason that I continue to go to this McDonald’s. The nearby Burger King is much nicer and more efficient but just cannot compete on coffee. One more note on the all day breakfast menu that is now available-​do not expect any type of muffin sandwich after 10:30 AM. They have elected to go instead with biscuits instead of Egg McMuffin’s. Based on what I have heard in the community, this was a very questionable decision. Let’s see how things look again in 2020

I eat at McDonald’s about once or twice a year — pretty much whenever I have absolutely no other options. Still, I know at least this much — they’re supposed to be all more or less the same thing. In fact, that’s one of the major selling points of McDonald’s and all of its fast food brethren — you might not be getting much, but at least you know what you’re getting. Well, this place definitely stands out, and not for the right reasons.
I came in with three other people for a quick stop on a road trip. The staff was completely rude despite screwing up at least one part of everyone’s order (and our orders were not exactly complicated — they messed up things like drink sizes, types of drinks, and leaving off the pickles on someone’s burger.) We were left waiting nearly ten minutes on our food, but the rubbery and lukewarm state it finally showed up in revealed that it was hardly because they were making it fresh.
Saying «I’ll never come back» doesn’t mean much when you live nowhere near a place and wouldn’t be going there anyway, but fellow travelers take note — eat at one of the other stops along this road. Worst McDonald’s ever, which is a heck of a cake to take.

I realize this is Uncle Rons Steakhouse however, when you’re serving beverages, especially at a drive-​thru, checking the lid before handing it off to a customer is common sense. Apparently, common sense is not so common in Jackson.
The drive-​thru worker handed me a large orange Hi-​C and as I reached for it, he dropped, almost throwing it in my car («hot potato» style for those who enjoy visuals) and it literally showered me in orange liquid. It… was…everywhere! Even worse, the kid had zero reaction. He stood there and stared at me. Who knew a white shirt absorbed so quickly?! He didn’t offer a napkin, a towel, a new drink or even something free. Oh wait, that’s right, he did ask me to pull forward so he could help the next customer…
I was on my way through to Asheville so I spent the next 2 hours not only sticking to everything in my car but wet for all the wrong reasons. Never again.
