McDonald’s

Smelly Mc Donald’s, homeless sleeping inside, dirty.

This is my go-​to food spot when I find myself out late in this side of DC and need cheap food and fast. Every time I’ve gone the cashiers have been friendly and the only waiting I have to do is for some freshly fried fries to be done cooking. Refills and extra sauce are given if you ask. I’ve never used the bathroom, but it seems like you ask for tokens at the register to use them.

one word… ROACHES!!! I remember it like it was yesterday and wish I could just «men in black» the situation!!! So I’m sitting behind the petition minding my own when out comes an adolescent roach from behind the picture! When I confronted one of the employees who was cleaning out the bathroom of the situation, she seemed un-​phased like it was nothing new.
All I have to say is if there are baby roaches and adolescent roaches… I’ll leave it at that. Once I see a roach in your establishment or become deathly ill after eating there, you’re on the list.
MCDONALDS ON M… YOURE ON THE LIST!!!

I came here late night after going out in DuPont. The line was almost out of the door, however the staff was working tirelessly to keep the line moving. I only waited for about 10 minutes.
I was extremely dissatisfied with the food selection! I ordered an Oreo McFlurry and the cashier said, «We’re out of that». So, I ordered an apple pie and the cashier said, «We’re out of that». So, I attempted to order a chocolate milkshake and the cashier said, «We’re out of that». Frustrated and craving something sweet, I finally settled on my favorite Fish-​O-​Filet, and of course I received the same «We’re out of that» automated response.
I ended up having an Egg and Cheese breakfast biscuit. Woomp, woomp.
Considering the massive line and large crowd of people coming in late night, I expected more food items to be readily available.
I assume this place isn’t as bad during the day, I just don’t suggest going here at night unless you’re starving and every other late-​night food place within a 5 mile radius is closed.

Marcelo is the best! he regularly takes my order and always remembers me and delivers!!! love this place and Marcelo!

This review is strictly for their beverages and staff.
I frequent this place pretty often for their coffee, specialty coffee & smoothies. They never disappoint!
The lines move quickly and the ladies behind the cashier on weekday mornings are incredibly sweet and efficient.
My faves are:
–Strawberry banana smoothie
–Iced Vanilla Coffee (make sure to ask them to go easy on the cream unless you like drinking a WHITE coffee)
–Pumpkin Spice Latte — my latest discovery and current obsession. I get it with skim milk and I think it tastes way better than Starbucks version. It is sweet though — just how I like it
–Coffee — I love their coffee, it’s great black! They are currently doing their $ 1 deals for any sized coffee
–Mocha Frappé — I reward myself with this delicious frozen unhealthy drink every now and then. It is like drinking a dessert. yum!
Even though my office provides us with free Starbucks pikes place coffee, I can’t stand it. McDonalds & Saxbys are my go to daily coffee spots! It tastes like soil to me — blegh. #firstworldproblems

Coin operated locks on the bathrooms. That says it all. At least they got the free wifi.

Welcome to Washington, where your fast food burger choices are limited to the unsanitary & poorly run McDonald’s or paying, on average, a cool $ 15 for a burger, fries and Coke at the higher end burger joints. Nothing exists between these two choices. Burger King, which is preferable to McDonald’s, has all but disappeared in the Nation’s Capital.
This M Street NW McDonald’s is poorly run. There is usually just one counter person taking orders. At the risk of sounding xenophobic, there IS NOT ONE native English person taking orders, so your order is invariably is screwed. Long lines are commonplace. Trash bins are overflowing, the homeless have decamped, and you enter the restroom at your own risk. The second floor seating area has been roped off for years.
Who is responsible for this poorly run McDonald’s? I refuse to stop in here again, which is probably best for my health, both mentally and physically. If I were in the McDonald’s corporate office, I would be embarrassed by this location.

I’m not reviewing the food, because if you’ve lived on Planet Earth, you know what you’re getting yourself into. No, this is a review of the dining experience. The clientele divides itself fairly neatly into two categories: the unforunate down and out, and those who just want to eat a tasy burger they’ll regret hours later. Happily for me, I fall into the latter category, and I’m blessed for that. We happen to be in the minority in here, however, and perhaps it’s all in my head, but our minority status is palpable too. Unless you’ve fallen on hard times yourself, you’re doing charity work, or conducting a social experiment, might I suggest another McDonalds.

DISGUSTING… This McDonalds needs the health department ASAP —
I think it is wonderful they are open 24 hours and allow the homeless to have a place to stay if they order food, but filth in that place is nasty.
I was absolutely afraid to set my drink down or even get a straw for the drink… The trashcans were full of trash and there was trash overflowing and trash on the floor, the counter to order was filthy. The restrooms were just as bad. It looked as if someone’s bowels exploded all over the place, even on the ceiling. I was afraid I might have to burn my clothes after being in this establishment.
DISGUSTING — do not go here if you want to stay alive and not die of diseases… I am serious!

It’s a pretty standard McDonalds. They seem to be trying and bonus points for the friendly kid who works there and makes sure to always wish me well.

What can I say? It’s a legit late night option in a city that trends to go to bed early. Twenty-​four hours and still the breakfast menu is over by 10:30(?). The times we live in.
This particular venue has a second floor that, for some reason, always seems to be cordoned off. The bathrooms? Those will require asking permission for the staff. And the soda machines? Well behind the counter. It’s ‘that’ kind of McDonald’s. (By the way! Welcome to our fair city!)
Now then, the Dollar Menu actually has items that are a dollar, and an order of 20-​piece nuggets are always a steal at $ 5. The food is never heat-​lamped, and though it’s by no stretch of the imagination fresh, vegan, or healthy, it is easy to forget that – save the heat-​lamped fries – everything is made to order.

This McDonald’s was the site of a MURDER. It is DANGEROUS at night.

GREAT SERVICE! :)
Full of Bums :(

This McDonalds is not so good. Various strange homeless people hang out there (inside and outside).

Well let’s just say that there’s a big sign outside that says $ 1 Double Cheeseburgers and when we went in, they were not serving the Dollar Menu items. My friends and I were disappointed as well as about 10 other people in line. On the walk home, I overheard 3 guys walking towards this McDonalds and they were talking about how many Double Cheeseburgers and 4 piece nuggets they were going to eat and we shot down their dreams.
Shame on you M Street McDonalds. Yes it was late at night, but I’ve never heard of a late night McDonalds menu before. They’re trying to take us for every last penny while feeding us the highest amount of fat content possible at 1 am. It’s ridiculous. And the homeless guys peddling for cash and/​or sleeping on the benches inside doesn’t help your cause either.
Where’s the closest White Castle???

Oh, neighborhood McDonalds… you serve me so well when I am suffering from the hangover from hell. If only you’d stop battering your fries in heroin, I might be able to break my addiction to thee.
Well, I guess I could stop drinking. (Laughing hysterically) Right…
Yes. I am giving McDonalds a five-​star review. Why? Because when I feel like I might just puke for hours on end due to overindulgence the night before, it makes my nausea go away. The high fat content also makes me drowsy, allowing me to sleep off the remainder of the hangover in a blissful fat-​induced coma. And the orange Hi-​C gets me right back on the hydration train. The servers are efficient as hell… rarely do I have to wait more than 2.5 minutes for my delicious salt bomb from heaven. Sure I have to dodge the 800 homeless guys outside and I’m only allowed 20 min of seating time in the dining room with my meal purchase; I am willing to accept this in order to make my head stop pounding. Think of it kind of like an Advil that you can walk into.
