From prior posts it is evidently a total waste of time to complain to the local franchise owner , but I will be letting McDonalds " World Headquarters Planet Earth " in on why their same store sales seem to be dropping year after year.
I learned this trick somewhere along the way. Order your burger or chicken with one thing not standard; like a McChicken with cheese or burger with no ketchup. That way they at least have to make it or assemble it while you wait. I almost always get the fresher version. Ketchup is an easy condiment to add after the fact. I don't like ketchup...so I order my burger with mayo!

I also reported them. Same issue. Dried up stale buns and day old burgers. Will never go back there.

Went there decided not to wait in long line at drive-in so I went inside, all I wanted was an ice cream cone waited in line 10 minutes, to be fair it was 1:30PM, finally got to the counter and, the the young lady said we don't have any now! REALLY middle of the day no ice cream that means no shakes, YOU got a stale bun on the same day what gives, she did ask me however if I wanted fries instead, good up sell, but no sale and I left, won't go back we need a REAL ice cream place in COLONY!:pepper2:

I have no problem with the quarter pounders. We buy one and get one free. On your receipt there's a website to go to and complete a survey, you get a code and this gets you a free 1/4 pounder.

If you drop a McDonald's fry between your seat it stays the same for months. Might eat there once a year, our grands won't eat there so no reason to drive by

What I've always noticed here and in Chicagoland (where their headquarters are) is that the quality varies front location to location. Maybe the equipment is different or the employees prepare it differently, but it's not the ingredients as the same food truck delivers to that geographic location.

The good news is they are going to start having delivery.

Right next to this McDonald's is PDQ which has been opened a little over a year. No -- they don't have burgers but they do have some excellent things to choose from.

Their chicken salad (a salad with chicken -- grilled or fried) is excellent. Their fried chicken tenders are excellent.
All their sauces are freshly made every day, as is their three choices of different teas.
Their sandwiches are all good, depending upon what you like, but all their food is freshly made and made fast.

Service is friendly and good. Give them a try; you may be pleasantly surprised.

Delivery? Are you serious?
There is nothing worse than cold fries!

not a great MacD price either
 
Unless you use a coupon the prices are not that great anymore either. Much rather go next door.

The last couple of times I've gone to McDonalds at Colony I've had to circle the building 3 or 4 times to get a parking space. In fact I saw a few people parking at PDQ next door and walking over since their lot was half empty. I've tried PDQ, the salad, the nuggets and the sandwich, and didn't like any of them. Chick Filet is way better, next time you go, see how busy PDQ parking lot isn't. I have no complaints with McD's, 2 Egg McMuffins for $3.50 has been going on for a quite awhile and they still taste good to me, also their pancakes.
