My McDonald's Rankings

[Bilyclub]

My dine-in McDonalds ratings, mainly concerning service/wait times. I use the App when ordering. Haven't been inside the two on 27/441. It's not fine dining, but it works when you're in a hurry.


#1 Magnolia Usually 5 minute wait, and they are quick to refill soda.
#2 Colony Used to be #1. Now erratic.
#3 44/Signature Least crowded.
#4 466/Wedgewood The only with a self serve soda machine. 15 minute wait last
week

To me it changes day to day, no consistency at all, must be who is working, who is he manager/supervisor, etc. I found on of the busiest and oldest is (or was) the most efficient and consistent... that's the one across from WM in the Spruce Creek plaza, but it too might change day to day, don't go to McD's but one a month if that...not much improved under Covid.. Dah !

I don't understand the Colony McDonalds. No self-service drinks or condiments, no salads on the menu. Used to have those items, just like the other locations.

[shut the front door]

But was the shake machine working?

[asianthree]

I can’t tolerate fake eggs..the taste is awful. McMuffin is an egg but not a fan. I would say have been in a McDonalds once in 5 years. I will say the one on 44 never looks busy like others

McDonald’s home of the stale buns. :clap2:

They still give free refills - but you have to go to the counter and ask for it.

I never understood why people will pay more for a large soft drink when you can get free refills on a small drink.

Who knows ?? Seems to me a LOT of "covid" changes made have never, and probably will never, come back ? The self serve ketchup station was sloppy, I admit, but now having to ASK for ketchup for fries is annoying too, have to remember each time to ask... and then the 2 packets for two large orders of fries, and if you ask for more, you get 1 more, and it gets embarrassing to have to stand and ask for them 1 at a time... with people in line behind you, but of course, that's their business decision and it's obvious employees are trained to that specific routine...just like my opinion that it's foolish to ask people, AFTER they order, if they want additional items, "fries with that", "would you like to include a shake", "would you also like to add a pie", etc. etc. but it must pay off for them. Most of us will come back even though such measures are mildly annoying. Since the dispensers are probably considered unsanitary... just a bowl of individual packets would be a nice courtesy... LOL ! My own personal "rant" concerns avoid the astronomical sugar content of soda, by asking or a cola of half regular and half diet. With many locations no longer offering a self-serve, and the employees telling me "we no longer can do that" (meaning they are no longer allowed to do a "mix"), I think it is amusing that their corporate culture, their signature is : At McDonald's, have it YOUR way. Amusing, ironic isn't it...LOL !

But, they probably view taking time to mix types of soda as an efficiency of employee time error (Taylor, the industrial period theory...and Ray Kroc was a true disciple and it sure paid off) that a bowl of condiment packs is an invitation to steal ... every penny saved counts, that makes corporate sense.

I think the "Have it your way" slogan is at Burger King, not McDonald's.

[Rainger99]

If you are ordering to go, it makes sense to order the large drink. If you are eating in, order the small.

[Rainger99]

It is Burger King’s slogan.

I always hate it when they guy ahead of me takes the slogan seriously and makes a specific order. Ordering extra pickles, no ketchup, no onions, etc., etc., really slows things down! And you increase the chances for a mistake on the order!

When I take my tribe we order one large drink for the 4 of us. :22yikes:

Really want to screw them up…do what i did back in my college days…order a Whopper with Cheese PLAIN…nothing on it!

[Blackbird45]

I just think it’s funny the word DIne and McDonalds is used together. It’s a chain food filling station.

[Captainpd]

Actually, I'm not interested in your wait times. But I'm sure you will get plenty of responses concerning every eating establishment here in the Villages. JMHO but has to be really close to one of the worst post ever

[rsmurano]

Magnolia McDonald’s is terrible. The people that work there are clueless on what to do. You take a number plaques but they leave your order in the bin, you have to go up and ask where is your food.
Burger King, Wendys, and Taco Bell are much better fast food establishments. PDQ tops them all.

Salads are history at most if not all McDonalds. Lettuce has a short shelf life and most people go there for their greasy food.

[Gator_Girl]

I tell them how many I need, I'll say "can I get 5 ketchups with that" and they give what I ask for.

[Gator_Girl]

I used to order a veggie whopper!

Did anyone ever order a salad at McDonald’s??

Have you looked at your past posts ? Talk about worthless...

The only time I ever eat at a McDonalds is at an airport or on a road trip and then only if I must.

Too many people asking for water and filling up on free soda.

[Michael G.]

I use a passed receipt and register online for their code,
get two egg McMuffins for the price of one and a senior coffee with refills
all for under $5.00.

Best breakfast at a great price and it's made with real eggs.

Thanks for the tip. :beer3:

[Topspinmo]

Any soda made in restaurants actually cost 15 to 30 cents.

Apparently that 15-30 cents is too much.

Toxicbell must be better down there. Wendy’s joke on 301, Burger King is not king anymore on 466.

I never understood why people will pay more for a large soft drink when you can get free refills on a small drink. For meals, If you order a small meal you get a small drink and small order of fries. If you order a large meal, you get large drink and large order of fries

McDs charges the same price for all size sodas...

If you order a small meal, you can ask for a large soda... Same price...

Been a regular McDonald’s customer for 6 1/2 decades but not any longer. I refuse to order from a kiosk and prefer to make my own drinks.

No, not down here. A large soda is $1.69, a medium $1.39, and a small and extra small are $1.19. Up North it was $1.00 for any size, though I think that changed not too long ago.

By good you mean pay more and get less? :MOJE_whot:

[Topspinmo]

Only thing IMO good at McDonald’s are Idaho fries, probably the only thing grown/made in USA. There bums got to be at least two weeks old.

That’s easy. They cater to the elderly.

I haven’t found restaurant in Florida worth going back to.

Law of supply and demand has worked in their favor and so they have jacked up their prices way more than inflation resulting in record profits. If you want to get your moneys worth then learn to use their app.

I don't eat hamburgers any more but I did like their fish sandwich. But that too has been affected by corporate greed. They now serve it with a 1/3 slice of cheese.

[Rainger99]

The went from a dollar to just over a dollar.. Still all the same price...

Where is that? They used to charge the same price for any size but that went away about a year ago in the Villages. I also checked on some prices around the country and I didn't find one McDonalds that charged the same price for any size soda.

The 1st of the year California passed a law that fast food workers will get $20 an hour. Robots will be waiting on you.
