McDonald’s

This restaurant is the same as any McDonalds, the menu is the same so choice is easy.
Each time I have visited this outlet the place has been clean and the staff friendly.
The drive through is a double lane one that narrows to a single lane, I have heard honking before when dining in…

Oddly enough, whilst my wife does check the order with an eagle eye here, just like every drive through, while we sit holding up the rest of the line, this is actually one of the few drive thru anythings, let alone McDonalds, where I’d say they are likely to get the order right — especially since the big makeover a year or two ago — they had a shocking reputation but made a great effort to turn things around.
It’s also one of a few where you can ask for a burger without pickles for a fussy child and actually get a burger without pickles so they don’t end up pouting ‘cos they had to take them off. The pouting usually only lasts till they hit the playground anyway, but I do appreciate it when they actually do make a special order ‘special’ for you. (It’s a big thing when you’re tomatophobic, too)
Of course, as well as they do with the orders, utlimately, it’s still a McDonalds. Not the best food you can get in Adelaide, or anywhere else, but dependably exactly the same quality as every other McDonalds everywhere. Who am I kidding — I should borrow Crocodile Dundee’s line — «Well, you can live on it, but it taste like shit.» Macca’s, where would we be without them? :)
One pet peeve, unlike most McDonalds, this one has a teeny tiny car park — there’s plenty of parking in the shopping centre park nearby, but that leave’s you crossing lanes of cars, something I try and avoid with overexcited kids in tow. I’m surprised by that, I thought the franchise had recommendations about minimal parking and the like?

A word of warning, if you do venture through this drive-​thru make sure you thoroughly check the contents of your bag before you drive off. If you innocently assume the staff members have done their job correctly it’s almost guaranteed you’ll have something missing. I’ve driven off without serviettes, sauces, but especially the mayo sachets I always order. Now when I come here I do a thorough inspection of the paper bag they’ve thrust into my hand before I move an inch from the window. In a nutshell — don’t trust them to get it right!
