McDonalds

My regular rating for McDonald’s (3 stars), except the parking really sucks here! That’s why I took off another star lol food is like all mcDs.

Wow the service was slow. There was only 3 people in line and it took 15 mins. However I think the order taker was in training. She was friendly… I give her that. My Fillet-​O-​Fish was so limp that it looked like it was stepped on. Blah.

The parking drama in this McDonald’s already gets rid of a star, so let’s not start there. I ordered a McChicken from this restaurant earlier today. The cashier and ordering process went smoothly, and I paid for my meal.
Then came the waiting.
5 minutes…
10 minutes…
15 minutes…
…until the cashier finally noticed I was still there, asking if I received my order yet. Uh, no? Otherwise why would I still be here? After going through the barrage of meals, she finally found mine at the far back and picked it up, 20 minutes after I initially ordered my meal. She repeatedly said sorry to me and that they were understaffed (didn’t seem like it), and she will have a talk with the boss about my order being looked over.
The McChicken tasted okay, nothing special. Fortunately for them, this and the cashier’s initiative to right things up, I upped it from a one star to a two star.

Eureka! This is the home of perfect French fries. Light, tasty, crisp and hot. Perfectly salted. Drive-​thru service is super-​fast, super-​polite and there’s an order taker with a beautiful and lovely voice just like a melody. Why, this person should be on the radio, announcing flight times at YYZ, recording books for the blind and making serious mega-​bucks doing commercial voice-​overs. Lovely voice. Fabulous fries. Go here.

Parking Parking. I always stay away from this McDonalds on weekends since it is impossible to find parking…
And even if you find one… the agony of dealing with a parking lot deal with all these drivers and shopping carts from Foody’s Mart.
The newly renovated interior is really nice though… a lot of seating arrangement for groups, singles and a more private booth area in the front. A fireplace with armchairs?
24 hours drive thru can be so crazy at times! I guess where else up here for a 3 AM snack attack up here aside from McDonalds?

Located in the Foody Mart plaza (Originally a Food Basics), this newly renovated McD’s has definitely made a step forward in trying to accomodate customers within the horrendous parking lot it is situated in. Honestly, it’s almost impossible to find a parking spot when Foody Mart starts promotions and discounts (which is almost, always).
They divided the drive-​thru lane into 2 lanes for better customer flow and to avoid the traffic jams it had caused before with the long line-​ups. Drive-​thru opened until midnight.
After the renovations, this McD’s gives off a modern look after maintaining the retro design for so many years. Equipped with a new McCafe station, this McD’s is updated in its menu list.
Managed by teenagers behind the counter, service can get quite slow for customers who walk-​in as drive-​thru customers usually get priority. I could be standing for 10 mins before someone decides to come back to the front counter.
Overall, clean interior and bathrooms. Screaming kids at the playplace. Usually a quick grab and go for a late night unhealthy snack, after hitting the gym. Why do I do this to myself?
