McDonald’s

My last visit to McDonalds was a visit I had been planning for a few days, why go to so much effort to visit McDonalds you might ask? Because on May 6, 2015 it was their annual McHappy Day! That being said this review is going to a tad bias, I’m writing this with good and supportive intention given the reason for my visit was to support their McHappy Day initiative which helps kids and families across Canada. I’ll do a more proper review next visit to make-​up :-).
On McHappy Day one dollar from every Big Mac®, Happy Meal® and any hot McCafé beverage went directly to Ronald McDonald Houses. As much as I wanted to binge on my usual Double Big Mac with an up-​sized Fries and Regular Coke + a Junior Chicken on the side (yeah I’m bad haha… :P), I couldn’t on this occasion as I’m still on a diet that isn’t quite that flexible. Luckily I was able to work in a lone Big Mac which I was more than content with given my usual dinners are a little less tasty lol. People always love to hate on fast food given the unhealthy connotation, McDonalds gets a lot of it more than others, but like other Fast Food restaurants they do have all the nutritional information clearly laid out online. This made it super easy for me to fit a Big Mac into my flexible diet /​macros despite it obviously not being the healthiest choice I could have made. At the majority of non-​franchise restaurants you’d be left guessing just how bad that burger you ordered is, and believe me it could EASILY be worse than a Big Mac unless it’s a non-​beef burger. So +1 McDonalds there! The other big plus I got was the consistency you’d expect from McDonalds; the Big Mac was made just the way I wanted it and was well put together. Solid presentation for fast food! Of course it tasted great as always, what can I say I’m a sucker for McDonalds!
This was a drive-​thru experience, very smooth and efficient and completed as requested — no onions :). The drive-​thru employee was polite so I even made a little extra donation to the McHappy Day cause. I have been to this location multiple times, very happy with it and no «major» concerns, especially with the remodel they did at all McDonalds it’s been a bit more welcoming and warm. I’ll do a proper review to make up for this «feel good» review next time I visit for my proper usual. One thing I will mention now is that this location can attract a drunk crowd later at night from Ranchmans and other bars near by. For a better experience stay clear of the later hours as these patrons aren’t the best to be around. But for now, cheers to McHappy Day! Last year raised over 8 million so I’m sure this year’s was a big success as well!
