McDonald’s

It’s McDonalds. Face it. We shouldn’t be here, but you know that, and I know that, and we obviously do not seem to care. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, and accepted that we’ve decided to eat meal loaded with fat, grease and calories, let’s evaluate the quality of said unhealthy meal.
First of all, this place is clean and they keep non-​customers away. Now, the service may be a bit on the slow side, but it’s because they appear to make the food to order (aka it’s hot). That’s a good thing! When you’re eating things you shouldn’t, you want it to count, so the food should be hot. Also, the condiments (with cups and lids), napkins, straws, etc., are all still self-​serve, a growing rarity in DC. I appreciate that as well.
If you’re looking for traditional unhealthy McDonalds fair, I’d recommend this location. I’m sure they have salads as well, but who goes to McDonalds for their salads?! Not I!

I like McDonald !!! Lol the place or services doesn’t matter!!! Burgers Will always taste the same lol

What’s inside the food? You might want to take a look. I can say the same for every McDonalds.

No, no no. Just keep walking and go eat somewhere else. Too slow service, one cashier with a line of 10 people, and homeless people hanging out at tables that people eat at like its home. Bye.

On Memorial Day I had to go to Kennedy Center. Since I was near the Woodley Park Metro, I stopped in here before that to grab a quick snack around 5:45 Pm. I ordered the spicy McChicken sandwich, nothing else. For some reason this took a while. After 10 minutes I was asked what I was waiting for. After the person asked me the question he went to the kitchen to see what was taking so long. I got my sandwich about 5 minutes after that. The hot and spicy part must have been in the breading or seasoning before it was breaded because there was just lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.

Husband and I had breakfast in the location early one morning. It was served very fast and taste like Mc Donald’s breakfast, nothing special. It was extremely packed and hard to find a seat but I’m sure it’s because it was peak blooms and the parade. The location is very very hot inside considering it was hot outside. The restrooms were free to use this time but there is a coin slot for them.

For our second day in woodley park, before we head to the zoo, we decided to get a quick bite to eat. Went over to dunkin first but there was a ridiculously long line for a sunday. We than went here and the line wasn’t as horrible as dunkin. Food was good as fast food goes except for the girl messing up one of my order.

What i like about this McD, is that the speed of they putting order together is super fast

If you’ve never been to a McDonalds at opening, you’d probably be surprised to learn that employees don’t exactly feel honored to be the opening shift. In fact, the ambience is more like a prison cafeteria than anything else. (My wife and I went to one in Shinjuku at 4:30am, and we were told that we weren’t allowed to sit down until 6am!)
This McDonalds deserves 4 stars for service. The staff was friendly, they brought our food to us, the food came out piping hot, and both the coffee and decaf were good. It was a pleasant experience, and better than I expected anywhere at 5:32am.
I can’t say whether our experience is reproducible. But we had a good impression.

This may be the first time I have given a McDonald’s four stars but I have a good reason. It is right next to the Metro, it retains the dollar menu (a lot of stores close to major attractions inflate prices) and the service is actually very good.
It is located in the basement of I believe a dentist office or something but the odd location actually makes the place that much more interesting. There is remarkably a decent amount of seating considering this is a mini-​location tucked underground. Save yourself a lot of money and just head over here from the Zoo to avoid overpriced Zoo food (don’t worry its a downhill walk).

There’s not much I can say about a fast food joint, but I will say that if you’re looking for hangover food after partying too much and having to shack yourself up in a hotel room to avoid a DUI, this is a lifesaver. Nothing like an egg McMuffin and a cup of coffee to get your feeling like you can get back behind the wheel!

How much can one say about a McDonald’s? My friend and I were looking for a place to eat a quick breakfast in the area at 8am on a Sunday, and absolutely everywhere was closed. So we had to turn here. I never eat at McDonald’s, but we literally weren’t going to eat until that night, so desperate times call for desperate measures.
The service was surprisingly fast and efficient for the large number of people in the same situation as us (it was the weekend of a huge convention.) There was a huge seating area; larger than I’ve ever seen in any McDonald’s before. Food was McDonald’s quality, but what else would you expect?

Needed a place to grab a quick bite to eat and rest for a few moments after an epic trek involving trains, cabs, buses, and lots of walking. Alas, this place turned out to be the site of quite possibly the most lackadaisical McD’s employee I’ve seen in my long experience with McD’s locations across the country.
I specifically ordered a medium frozen strawberry lemonade, but somehow that got inputted into the system as a large smoothie of some kind. When I mentioned this to the guy behind the counter, he said «It’s the same price.» I mentioned how that was clearly not the case ($ 1+ difference), but at this point he had moseyed away to ignore me by becoming fascinated with a fly on the wall. Ended up with the cheaper lemonade at the price of the smoothie.
When my order was finally ready, the same dude tried to dump it off on me and break away, but I asked him for a sauce, which elicited a deep sigh. In response to my thank you for his efforts, he just rolled his eyes. I know he may have been having a bad day, but overcharging customers and then acting like a jerk is a bit too much.
Sandwich was horrible — in the past the «Southern Style» chicken sandwiches meant that there was a bit of frying going on, but this tasted like they took a grilled chicken patty and added bread crumbs to it.
I’d avoid this place if you had any amount of say in the matter.

The servers at this McDonald’s recognize me when I go in, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Despite their best efforts to keep this place clean, it seems futile. They also mess up my order frequently. Regardless, I have a soft spot for this place.

I emailed the corporate office about the restroom issue and they responded saying that there is a problem with homeless people and others causing vandalism in the restrooms, thus the reasoning for paying. They said that customers who purchase food items can obtain a key from an employee to enter without having to pay. Good to know for next time.
Review gets bumped up to 3 stars because of their kind response and explanation.

What can I say? It’s a pretty average McDonald’s in most respects.
But I will mention some locational idiosyncracies.
The McDonald’s is in a basement below the CVS. Although there is an elevator somewhere, most of the many families and their strollers that use this particular McDonald’s as basecamp before their trek to the National Zoo always have trouble finding it and end up clogging the stairs.
