This McDonald’s needs a reboot. I hope it’s being considered for the«gut and rebuild» that many other McDonald’s are undergoing. The staff keep the place as clean and efficient as possible, but you can only do so much for an older restaurant. The parking lot is awkward; the back of the lot opens into a housing complex, and the front exit is too narrow for the 2 lands of traffic merging there(exiting and pick-up window). Inside, a lot of the chairs show their age by holes in the upholstery, and you can see the black paint is covering up rust. Behind the counter, you can see that the people preparing the food have to move around in cramped and awkward ways. My meal was so-so as well. The sandwich was sloppily assembled. The fries were slightly underdone and more heat-lamp dry than crisp. Once this place gets a face lift, it will be a lot better.

I wouldn’t normally review a McD but thought the 1-star needed averaged up. This is a pretty standard McDs, staff is friendly, and it’s clean. Typically use the drive-thru and they always get the order right.

The previous review was ridiculous, you really expect everything to be on point when you stop by unexpectedly with a group of 35 people??? Of course it’s going to be chaotic! I have never had bad service at this location, staff has always been friendly, and my order is always correct.

This mcDonalds is the absolute worst one around. The food is nearly always cold and stale, or you end up waiting for them to cook things like fries. How they can run out of them during lunch rush is beyond me. People I know drive 6 miles out of their way when they need to visit mcdonald to go to a different one.

Mirror, mirror of the Mechanicville town who is the nastiest of all? After a long haul sabbatical of five plus years of not eating McDonald’s, to my disgust our tour guide took our entire crew of thirty-five travellers to a McDonald’s while enroute to Montréal and Québec City, Canada. Nasty. Complete chaos with lines of ordering and pick-up leads to a confusion war zone. Our bus driver wanted a salad, burger, soda and water which the cashier said water costs $ 1.60 which he was upset and our tour guide vouched for him. Typical McDonald chain restaurant.
