I had to fast for bloodwork this morning. It is a ritual for me to hit McDonald’s after my lab visit is over. I am starving and I just want food, no matter what. This location is closest to the lab. I got a sausage, egg, and cheddar McGriddle. I love pancakes and everything that goes into this sandwich, so it’s a treat. I also feel special, as it looks like the M is for my first name! I don’t drink coffee and I don’t want the added sugar in orange juice when I get the combo. It’s nice that I can order peppermint tea instead. The combo comes with a crisp hash brown, which was nice. Again, I don’t do breakfast out much, unless it’s brunch on the weekend or when I’m travelling. I went through the drive-thru this morning. It was busy! I went to pay and the computer system went down. The woman apologized profusely. This place has wonderful customer service. I told her that it happens. Technically can be unpredictable, which made her smile when I hoped that my debit card would work! All went well. My hunger pangs went away after I ate my combo. I also have enough drink stickers for a free drink. It has taken me three years to get here. See, that’s how often I order hot beverages at McD’s.

Somehow this one has the best food. Staff: friendly as usual. This is one of the few that the staff upsold to me on pies and I appreciate them taking their job seriously. Food: it is the same food but it seems like they put more care into it so they seem to have the right amount of ingredients in every sandwich. I will say they seem to only have apple pies and no other options(other places have at least 2 flavours in my experience) Overall one of the best locations I’ve been to

McDonald Adventures Series: I review every McDonald’s I visit based on a standardized metric system that is normalized to provide a relative McDonald rating I call the Big Mac Index. This review attempts to assess the franchisee specific choices, and not the franchiser’s overall organizational processes/decisions as those should be standardized between locations. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — This McDonald’s Overall Score: 93%, 5-Star!

First off McDonalds is not food. But I love Chicken McNuggets. I’ve been going to this one since I Was a lad. Shit is still the Same. Thanks guys for being Consistent all these years, and getting rid of the mClobster. Now bring back the daily deals.

The food is like all McDicks, except this one has one of the best sausage egg mcmuffins around. Always fresh and hot in your hands. The mcdicks at 16th and markham isn’t the same. But their fries are better than this location.

In terms of the food, this McDonald’s is better than most other places I’ve been to. They seem to make their burgers fresh on the spot(okay probably not, but it sure had a tastier feel to it). However, service was disorganized here. There was no definite form of two lines(as two cashiers were open), it seemed more like a gathering of sorts. Also, even when one of the cashiers had nobody to serve and asked for the next customer to come over, nobody went over since it was so crowded and such. I saw the cashier later shake her head, and mentioned to me how it always happens due to the setup of the cashiers area. While I’m not a frequent McDonald’s visitor, this place is overall decent enough for my liking.

It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again. I’m not a big McD’s fan. But of all the locations in Markham, I would say this is one of the best. The place is always clean, the service is awesome, they have a kids play place, and their drive-thru is open 24 hours. They’re also in the same plaza as my 24 hour gym(see Snap Fitness review), which is too convenient for that after workout caffeine. The other McD’s locations could learn a thing or two from this location. This is my favourite McD’s location, hands down.
