McDonald’s

Parking lot too small, workers swamped, boxes of condiments all over the counter, bring your patience or just pass this sad place by.

This was the worst McDonalds I have ever eaten at. The buns were dry and stale, the burgers and chicken sandwich were dry… blech! They were out of fish fillets. They were out of apple pies. They were out of napkins. The restrooms were filthy. Really awful.

Don’t come here on overnight unless you’re willing to wait over 10 minutes on an order and watch the manager run around like a chicken with his head cut off.

This seems like THE place to be on a weekday night. I guess there are just no other dinner spots in this remote area, because even around 10 – 11 p.m. before the start of the 4^th of July weekend, the place was jam-​packed! I waited a long time in the drive-​thru just to purchase a drink, but there seemed to be no other options to purchase a drink before continuing on the drive to Sarasota.

After a 90 mile drive from Sarasota to Ochechobee, with no real civilization in between, we finally came across a familiar site just off in the horizon! To our delight, this was no mirage, but instead the famed «golden arches» of the fast food giant, McDonalds.
Not the most healthy option for lunch, but it was either this or an empty diner up the block.
An obviously very new McDonalds from the inside and out, this location was big, modern, and clean. The service was actually «fast» and the employees seemed friendly enough to us non locals.
Food tasted as «fresh» as it could be for McD’s, and the fries were especially piping hot/​crispy and well salted.
Other than the above mentioned, we all know the drill when it comes to McDonalds, but this one did everything right. I highly recommend stopping here on your way through route 70 for a quick bite!
