McDonald’s

Convenient, predictable, consistent, fast.

I like junk food sometimes. And I often times go to this branch later at night (I work 3^rd shift), as some other locations do not serve chicken after midnight (huh?). When I go through the drive thru here I have found that there is a fairly consistent language barrier… so make sure to check to see if everythings as specified! I usually get the southern style chicken sandwich add mayo, a large fry and honey mustard, buffalo sauce and ketchup. If they get it right its pretty good, about what youd expect. I stress again MAKE SURE AND CHECK YOUR ORDER! It never fails, they misunderstand me so I dont get my mayo or sauces or they think I say ‘tomato’ instead of mayo… and sometimes they get pissed off if you complain and they add WAY too much mayo. So I always make sure its right before I drive away so I dont have to make an inconvenient trip back. But… thats the convenience tax I pay. Also, what is up with how they started charging you if you order more than ONE sauce?! C’mon!

This is the most efficiently operated McDonald’s in Topeka in my opinion. I enjoy coming here for breakfast. The staff is always friendly and helpful and they get the food out quick!

As far as McDonalds go, this one is a good choice — especially for breakfast on the way to work. There may be a drive thru line wrapping around the building, but it shouldn’t deter you — it’s generally no more than a 5 minute trip all the way around. And, they always smile and are really friendly which is nice in the early morning.
The other times of the day I’ve been here, the service has been just as fast and friendly. So far, they’ve always gotten my orders correct with no reason to complain.

This was the first eating establishment we found when we ventured out from the Capitol Plaza. Pro tip: this part of Topeka is not the best place to walk through. I tried get a handle on the local economy based on what I saw on the way to McDonald’s: two flag stores, a vacuum repair stop, and more auto part stores than cars. I’ve still not got a handle on the economy.
A group of seven of us showed up at 10:27, right before they dial the crank and stop serving breakfast for the day. Number 2 in line got hash browns, number 3 did not. Number 3 wasn’t happy. After boozing the night before, I tried to stay a bit healthy and went with a side salad. I also had a hankering for sweet tea, which comes in one size: way too large. (side note: the beverage dispensers didn’t seem to have a water option). It was tasty though.
All said, I guess it’s a standard McDonald’s with a few touched of local flavor, like moose light enclosures (I can only assume they have mooses in Topeka).
