McDonalds

McDonald’s without wifi. What year is this? Total fail.
Second, this location needs to improve the way it organizes its line ups too. When busy, people are confused and jumping the line. Chaos and anger galore.

This is a MacDonald’s in a food court. Its close to the bus station, a fit for life and a Subway. It has decently fast service, though sometimes a big lineup at breakfast. The food court here is a bit eclectic and has some scuzzy elements as well as office workers taking their lunch.

I come to the McDonald’s often in the morning since its close to work. Food is standard McDonald’s quality. Consistent all around. What is poor is the lack of service and line management. Almost every time I go, the line is a mess. When more than one cashier is open, there’s only one line that forms.
Also, what will happen in the morning is that the cashier will take everyone’s order. Then you have 5 – 10 receipts on the counter waiting to be filled. Most usually coffee. But everyone is just standing around waiting. It’s highly inefficient. This place needs to hire more staff or have the cashier pour coffee when there is no line.

This McDonald’s in particular definitely attracts a variety of people ranging from: Disgruntled fatties, pan handlers, meth addicts, coke users drinking coke, conspiracy theorists who rage in public. local community housing hood rats. and seniors demanding refills. I do enjoy their baked apple pies that expire in 2 hours though :)

A review for McDonald’s? Why not. ;)
I visited this location on my way to work this morning. It was the only restaurant in the food court that was open so early on Sunday morning. Located just across from the Toronto Coach Terminal, there were quite a few people enjoying their breakfast there, but it was very quiet. The service was pretty quick, and the servers were very polite.
I won’t ever deny this — McDonald’s breakfast is truly a guilty pleasure of mine. I try not to have it too often though. It is always greasy and cheesy, but so delicious! The McMuffin I had this morning was as hot and crispy as my hash brown (I can’t ever have McDonald’s breakfast without ordering at least one hash brown!). I do not remember the last time I had a hot and CRISPY English muffin at McDonald’s. It made the sandwich taste so much better…

THIS LOCATION IS CRAP! Last summer (which was the last time I was there), I ordered a large coke. The people behind me ordering full meals, got their food before I got my measley coke. When u ask the employess about it, they give u dirty looks or pretend not to understand u. The employees and managers are always chatting loudly and acting like they are not at a place of work. I will never go to this location again. Next time I want to eat McDicks, I will walk to another location. If you come to this location to get food, guranteed you will leave angry. Avoid this place. FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL

This is a regular food court looking McDonalds, nothing snazzy there no McCafe here.
It’s convenience for commuters and employees around the area, at night you see all kinds of hobos wander from the Greyhound bus station nearby. It’s open late 11pm Mon — Sat. Sun closes at 10pm.
That’s about the only reason I would go here.

The McRib is back! Now I have never had one before so the excitement in my first sentence is one of neither validity nor merit. If you watch The Simpson, you would know that a whole episode was made on a very similar variation of the McRib. So when The Simpsons dedicates a whole episode on the well being of the sandwich and cult-​like following, you can’t help but try the burger/​sandwich out.
So I decided to try out the McRib at the McDonalds located at Atrium on Bay foodcourt. It was lunch time so of course it was packed but this is a good thing. High volume means high turn over. The food is fresh and made to order as they are simply selling wayy too many big macs, fries and hopefully McRibs. So I ordered the combo and decided against supersizing cause let’s be honest… Why get more fries when you can have ttwwwooooo McRibs. =D. Just kidding.
Got my food after a waiting for a couple of minutes and sat with my coworker for lunch. The McRib despite its mass media hype, wasn’t very good or special. The combo wasn’t cheap and the sandwich felt plain. It was topped with orions and pickles and the rib or «riblett» itself kinda tasted like leftover pork roast. The «riblett» was also kinda small so there wasn’t a lot of it to go around. I do have to say at least it wasn’t hard and that it was kinda soft. I guess I can say it was kinda tender, but please do only take that for face value.
Overall, I have to say I’m quiet disappointed with the McRib sandwich. With the hype machine going, maybe I expected a little too much or maybe the sandwich really wasn’t that good to begin with. I believe it’s the latter. This McD’s location is busy so I can’t blame it on the low turnover. I personally would say skip this sandwich. It wasn’t worth it for me, how about you? Have to tried the McRib sandwich?
