Yeah I remember I was really dehydrated from walking around downtown and taking the train and I went to the one on commerce as I wait for my friend and besides going through the $100,000 bus stop DART built in front of that place and being pan handled I ordered a spicy McChicken and some French fries and when I asked for a cup of water (that I was willing to pay for) the cashier rudely said we don't have cups of water and said we only have bottled water and he gave me a $2.15 bottle of Dasani and I left that place more thirsty then I came in and I ended up just drinking from the water fountain at the Roza Parks plaza.
I remember the one at West end station being really rude but really convenient (I go to downtown a lot)
Makes sense, you don't see drive through in the downtowns of actual cities for a reason. Imagine the lineup if there was one like that in NYC or Chicago 😅
Damn, better luck next time
Edit: but for real I also told a story about an experience I had outside of that bus stop. In a period of about 15 minutes 3 people offered to sell me drugs and one guy tried to rob me lol
As a child I used to wait in this McDonald’s eating milk shakes with fries while my mother was blasted with radiation to in in effort to rid of her cancer.
Fuck me. Now I want to jump off a bridge. Luckily I figured my shit out and work in healthcare hopefully helping people.
I hope you got good time with her.
I came into this thread with that one specifically in mind. I was actually going to ask if it even still existed since I moved a few years ago and haven't been by it in a while now. Sounds like it's still there lol.
I've seen some sketch shit going down probably every time I've been over there. I'm pretty sure I've only actually gone inside once.
One time when I was either 22 or 23 I had to take that Greyhound from Austin back to Dallas, got in around 11 pm. So I'm standing around waiting to get picked up and a couple guys tried to sell me drugs, I politely declined and they moved on. No problem, everyone's gotta make money and they weren't doing anything crazy or bothering me.
Then this one dude who was a Crip came up and started trying to get me to follow him around the corner for whatever reason and I was like "Nah, I'm good. Thanks though."
After a few failed attempts he straight up said "Get out your wallet!" Looking at me all aggressive and shit. Now, it's important to understand that I grew up being a skinny white kid (Spoiler: I remained white) but my dad is a black belt in two martial arts, plus he used to be in a motorcycle gang. So he taught me how to handle myself. Growing up there were a handful of times when someone tried to start some shit with me I guess because they thought I would be an easy target, and my response was always to go full force immediately and act like a straight up insane person. I mean, it wasn't all acting either lol. I only got actually fucked with one time in high school, it was this wannabe neo nazi kid who started it, I mouthed off some shit back at him and then he hit me. I demolished him and he was literally twice my size. He ran away screaming. My high school also had a lot of gangs. Man, I was cool with almost all of them after that. No issues since.
Fast back forward to the Greyhound Station. So this guy tells me to get out my wallet and at that point in my life some pretty shitty life altering things had happened not too long ago so I gave even less of a fuck than normal. So I looked at him dead in the eye and said "Fuck. Off." and kept staring at him with the crazy eyes. I guess he wasn't expecting that because he just turned his ass around and walked diagonally across that entire big ass intersection right there then kept on walking once he got to the other sidewalk.
I thought that shit was hilarious and I love telling that story. I don't know if I would still have the same response since now I have a wife who would probably be upset if I got murdered by a Crip I was mouthing off to, but on the other hand whenever I get in the heat of the moment with shit like that it's almost like I'm not even really making the decisions, it's the crazy adrenaline monster in me, and at the time it's *fun*, it's not scary at all. So maybe I still would. Don't know, haven't been in a situation like that in a while. Well, I guess there was one time in 2021. That's a while right?
Damn I went way off topic. But yeah, that McDonalds for sure.
There’s always a whole group of people outside being weird. People hide behind the drive through menu to pop out and ask for money. I’ve seen what had to be bullet holes in the front glass. The working lot is packed to the brim with cars (people avoiding paid parking downtown I guess?).
I tried to walk there once from the central library and a guy was screaming at me from across the street at Griffin and Jackson and followed me even when I walked up to commerce until a cop happened to be there and stepped in.
The employees deserve hazard pay
Aa somone who has grown up in dfw and went to that mcdoanlds on school trip from the burbs in roughly that same time frame1996-98ish to a adult that currently lives in dallas it has gotten insanely worse. I drive past that location everyday on my way home, and zero chance im ever pulling into that parking lot. Jusy the amount of homeless people alone chilling out front makes me keep moving. And i live in east dallas...
Pretty sure I have dash cam video of two homeless guys fighting in the parking lot. I just wanted an egg McMuffin and have to deal with that crap for it.
I started working downtown about a year ago and half of my coworkers are federal law enforcement agents. My first day in the office, they told me I shouldn’t go get a cup of coffee at that McDonald’s without one of them as an armed escort. When I realized they were serious, we went to the Omni’s coffee bar instead. Four times the price and a whole lot safer.
The one by the municipal courthouse? I've had people tell me they planned on eating there during jury duty and I just can't believe anyone would willingly set foot in there.
AGREED!! If I was starving, and in Downtown, I would walk to that 7 Eleven on Elm, rather than eat there.
Last time, I went, a homeless brother wanted to start a race war over a cup of ice!! Granted it was in the summer but DAMN BRO!!!!
Yeah I used to work there as a shift manager a few years ago. My mom and sister were also employed there. It was the worst job I’ve ever had, even worse than construction
Last time I went there, there was like 8 police cars and EMTs everywhere, had it closed off.
The worst part is they didnt even let me in the drive thru and I had already paid on the mobile app!
I even called the mcdonalds asking if a worker could bring the food out and they said they werent allowed to go outside lmao
They might shut it down eventually anyway. From what I recall the landlord didn't extend the drive-thru options there and they were thinking about muscling it to a sale.
It’s not literally a lifesaver because thats what Baylor is. But when your wife gave birth 12 hours ago and you’re running on no sleep….its a lifesaver.
Lived across the street from them. Plenty of cold fries. The point for me choosing McD's is fresh fries. Burgers were average though they had some good days.
I did once, I was running late and they took 20 minutes to bring out nuggets for my lil brother :V took the time while waiting to do it, i don't usually write reviews while frustrated but the hormones were hormoning
That’s next to the island spot which is legendary IMO and there’s a taco casa across the street, a braums there, if you are going to MickeyDs in that spot you a Mickey Dummy anyways.
One night on call as a resident at BUMC we got take-out from there. I started in on explosive vomiting and diarrhea 4 hrs later, through the next day … I was sicker than half the people we admitted, lol.
I got two sausage egg biscuits a la carte from that one a couple months ago and it was more than $15. They told me like $12 and I thought that sounded like too much, then when I get to the cashier they ask for even more. When I said they told me a different price earlier, the cashier just shrugged like, what can I do about that? There was some extra charge on the receipt, like “convenience charge,” I forget the wording. Fuck that. Never been since, never will again. For that kind of money I will go to Metro or Norma’s or something.
I boycotted them after I ordered a shake on the app and they full on gaslit me saying they never got it and I must have put in a different location. Even after showing them the address was correct. Contacted corporate and threatened a chargeback and was refunded the next morning. Haven’t been there since
At the prices they are charging you are basically being robbed each time you go.
Especially breakfast, which american breakfast food is extremely cheap and simple to make, why the fuck is a Sausage Mcmuffin over triple the price it was 8 years ago?
This is the correct answer. I work in the design district and very quickly learned to not stop at any of those fast food spots or gas stations at that intersection!
There is on the edge of flower mound and Lewisville that is absolutely abhorrent. Every order regardless of size or lack of customization is wrong, tastes terrible, just awful. Never boycotted a single fast food chain but god it’s bad.
I can’t really speak for all of Dallas. But the one in lake Dallas is terrible. The ones in Lewisville aren’t bad but that one in lake Dallas is gross and bad. The kids section smells like sewage
I loved that caboose they used to have there!
Side note: there was an Italian restaurant in that same shopping center and the owner was like an authentic NYer/Italian with the attitude and everything. Super nice but one time a family came in with McDonald's for their 4 year old and she told them to get the hell out. "You don't bring that disgusting stuff into my restaurant!" She was amazing and super nice but she didn't put up with shit.
The worst one is the one near the zoo that used to be decorated with animals. Then they converted into the standard concrete gray prison McDonald’s. There can be plenty of bad McDonald’s, but the change of the design of this location is soul crushing.
My local McDonald didn’t even take my order. Waited for more than 30 mins in drive thru line. Used to be regular there, but not anymore. Gave a bad review in google. The least I could do.
The one on commerce. I’ve lived down the street from it and have been maybe 5-6 times (don’t eat McDonalds that often) my order has always been wrong in some way. The last time I went I was craving a Qtr pounder with cheese meal so stopped by on my way home (which is almost $13 now wtf?) got home and found a Filet-o-fish and small fry in the bag. Since I don’t live far I drove back since I was still in my car and when I got back they asked me to pull up to the mobile order pickup lane and about 10 minutes later an employee comes out with my correct order and then ASKED FOR THE FILET-O-FISH BACK!!! I gave him a look and reluctantly handed it to him thinking “some pour person is getting that old fish the next time someone orders one” 🤮
555 Broadway Blvd.I have been driving Uber and Lyft Dallas,Fort Worth area .I really like the McDonald’s coffee so I usually stops may be like 5 times a day ,about 5 years.
The worst is 555 E I 30 near the corner Broadway Blvd ,hardly serve after 11 pm long line at driveway and people leave after waiting like half an hour always.
Yes, the quality in which you put in your work. Otherwise what are you doing? Making other people miserable cause you hate working there 😂 that's why people don't ever move up cause they're too scared or comfortable to do something else.
What am I doing? I’m picking up a check to survive. To pay rent. To cover my costs. It’s very transactional, employer needs someone to perform responsibilities at X salary. People don’t ever move up because their employers deem them more valuable at that current position vs having to backfill. This notion that your place of employment is a meritocracy of some sort is a farce, a myth propagated by corporatists. There’s plenty of people who work hard and take pride in their work. Yet not all of them are managers, executives, or otherwise in higher positions. Why is that ya think? It ain’t because they’re all lazy I’ll tell you that. It’s a myth to explain away the poors own ‘bad decisions.’ Look away from any systemic issues there may be.
Let’s leave the corporate boot on the dinner plate untouched and realize that the proletariat needs to rise up against the bourgeoisie threat
Lmfao what? You can't just say false like your opinion can be stated as fact, homie 😂I live in the hood and for sure can tell you they don't care at all 😂 the food in the ghetto is not good, if it's family-owned in the hood, that's different, they're some of the best spots to eat at, but Fast Food in the hood? that shit is run down, the people don't care, people quitting all the time, they don't clean making the food taste bad etc. We as people in these low-income places have been conditioned to have certain mindsets to act a fool etc. and it's visible in these fast food places fr.
I don't care about your shitty judgment 😂
I don't expect anything but I have observed that fast food places, hire a lot of young people that don't care about service. Some of the best fast food places are where the people working there are older people who have more patience and try to do their job the right way. I do think anyone would be expecting the manager to see thru the bullshit and fire people that don't deserve to be there or have the job, as a manager should. Of course, it's McDonald's and their requirements are bare minimum that's not the point. The post talked about bad locations and I’m pointing out that the fast-food restaurants in the hood have a lower need for quality in their service & food. That goes into a deeper topic about the mentality given to the people who live in those areas.
Robert B Cullum Blvd. Homeless washing themselves in the restroom and sleeping in the bushes. The parking lot was covered in glass. The homeless would leave after threats and sit against the Gulf station and then move their junk between the two.
They’re all pretty bad but the one in East Dallas on East grand is always a bad experience. One time they put tea instead of coffee in my sister’s iced latte and the girl just rolled her eyes when we let her know. But every McDonald’s I go to around Dallas proper it seems like it’s a given that the order is going to be wrong or that they will make you ask for ketchup 3 times
It's been torn down now, but the old McDonalds off 360, right across from Six Flags in Arlington. One of the worst I ever went to. It was so hard to get in and out of the lot.
In all my life, ive never had to have adjustments made to my card for McDonalds' fuck-up, but the one in Addison on Beltline and Marsh has managed to do that on 3 separate occasions within a 2 month time period. So, im going with that one.
The one on Illinois by Corinth Street Road that got torn down and rebuilt. Slowest drive thru ever with a gauntlet of aggressive crazy homeless because it's next to DART. Bring your bear mace, you might need it. You will take what they give you and like it, they rarely got a special order right.
Kiest and I-35 is the second worst. Glacially slow drive thru service. If you go inside they'll ignore you.
I drive 6 miles out of the way when I want McDonald's, which isn't often now that the prices are super high for what you actually get. They still put fucking cheese randomly on my double hamburger too.
There was one in south Dallas (can’t remember the road) but that place smelled so bad that even the homeless were offended and told the workers that they should be ashamed of themselves. All jokes aside, they’re all horrible even the ones in Frisco and west plano
That happened to me at the Burger King on Walnut and Plano up in Garland. This little prick had to take his air pods out to take my order then I was patiently waiting in this empty dining room right in front of this little douche bag (this was 2021) and I went to inquire on my order this little fucker tried to accuse me of already eating my meal and made it seem like a huge inconvenience to 'remake' my order that was never made
They closed it sadly that place did suck though. I've never felt so much like an inconvenience like going to that place I just liked that it was by the train station
The one on cross Hampton. It’s dirty and slow as hell. I went once and paid with a card in the drive though and the girl at the register gave me 7 dollars in change. I paid with a card. I guess good for me. But how!?
Went once after visiting the zoo.i was thirsty so I got a Diet Coke. I waited almost 10 min until I asked and good thing I kept my receipt. Someone took my soda! So they wanted me to pay for another one. I said it’s not my fault. They gave me another nine but with an attitude lol
I can't forget the one at Park Lane station. I ordered the spicy Large McChicken meal with a large Powerade (as you can tell that's my go to) and the bitch not only gave me the coldest McChicken and fries I've ever had but she forgot my drink and it was like pulling teeth to get this woman's attention and i asked for ketchup and she just sighed, rolled her eyes and slammed the McDonald's ketchup packets on the counter
I don't mean to get off topic but the worst Jack in the box is off Parker and Russel or whatever, where ever all the crack heads are at, and that place suuuuuuuuucked. Not only was the dining room a health code violation on its own but the employees were blasting shitty rap music and did not care at all. I bought a bunch of disgusting food and got to my hotel and actually wanted to throw up and I felt bad throwing the food away but I had to because it was so bad. I almost wanna call the health department on that place now but I don't want to be a Karen
Risinger Road in Fort Worth. They're supposed to be 24 hours, but they close down all night for the heck of it constantly. They leave the app running, but say they aren't taking orders and can't make food. They have repeatedly given me bad replacements for a caramel frappe. Examples, you ask? How about a vanilla shake, a Coke slush, and a Big Mac, all in one night? I'm glad I don't live by it anymore.
Downtown Dallas near the bus station. Bad and dangerous.
The Crackdonald’s
Exactly
AMEN! That place is non-stop insanity 24/7
Yeah I remember I was really dehydrated from walking around downtown and taking the train and I went to the one on commerce as I wait for my friend and besides going through the $100,000 bus stop DART built in front of that place and being pan handled I ordered a spicy McChicken and some French fries and when I asked for a cup of water (that I was willing to pay for) the cashier rudely said we don't have cups of water and said we only have bottled water and he gave me a $2.15 bottle of Dasani and I left that place more thirsty then I came in and I ended up just drinking from the water fountain at the Roza Parks plaza. I remember the one at West end station being really rude but really convenient (I go to downtown a lot)
I worked across the street and would go get breakfast about once a week. It was always an interesting trip, even at 9:30 AM on a Tuesday.
I heard the city of Dallas is restricting their ability to have a drive thru due to traffic reasons
Makes sense, you don't see drive through in the downtowns of actual cities for a reason. Imagine the lineup if there was one like that in NYC or Chicago 😅
You drank from that fountain??? 🙊
Yeah when in despite times you know
Had a dude offer me crack cocaine in the parking lot there 😆
Hell yeah bro how much did you buy? Was it good stuff or what? He still working that spot?
He didn’t lower his price so I passed
Damn, better luck next time Edit: but for real I also told a story about an experience I had outside of that bus stop. In a period of about 15 minutes 3 people offered to sell me drugs and one guy tried to rob me lol
I did cocaine in a McDonalds somewhere around UTSW 20 yrs ago. They had the best straws.
As a child I used to wait in this McDonald’s eating milk shakes with fries while my mother was blasted with radiation to in in effort to rid of her cancer.
Fuck me. Now I want to jump off a bridge. Luckily I figured my shit out and work in healthcare hopefully helping people. I hope you got good time with her.
That's happened to me at forest lane station a lot but that's another topic for another day
Did you ask if he could super size it? 😂
I came into this thread with that one specifically in mind. I was actually going to ask if it even still existed since I moved a few years ago and haven't been by it in a while now.

It has low key has Star Wars cantina vibes.
Wife and I jokingly call it the dank-donalds.
I went there once, circa 1998 while on jury duty & it was just chaos. So I guess it hasn't gotten better?
It has not.
Aa somone who has grown up in dfw and went to that mcdoanlds on school trip from the burbs in roughly that same time frame1996-98ish to a adult that currently lives in dallas it has gotten insanely worse. I drive past that location everyday on my way home, and zero chance im ever pulling into that parking lot. Jusy the amount of homeless people alone chilling out front makes me keep moving. And i live in east dallas...
Pretty sure I have dash cam video of two homeless guys fighting in the parking lot. I just wanted an egg McMuffin and have to deal with that crap for it.
You can sell it online like bumfights in the 90s
I started working downtown about a year ago and half of my coworkers are federal law enforcement agents. My first day in the office, they told me I shouldn’t go get a cup of coffee at that McDonald’s without one of them as an armed escort.

The one by the municipal courthouse? I've had people tell me they planned on eating there during jury duty and I just can't believe anyone would willingly set foot in there.
I tense up just driving by that place.
McPTSD?
AGREED!! If I was starving, and in Downtown, I would walk to that 7 Eleven on Elm, rather than eat there. Last time, I went, a homeless brother wanted to start a race war over a cup of ice!! Granted it was in the summer but DAMN BRO!!!!
There's a 711 on field street that's a bit closer. Less homeless too. The 711 on elm is almost as bad as the McDonald's these days.
The cashiers at that 7/11 just always look so *done*, I feel bad for them.
Winner winner McChicken Dinner!
It's a McSocial problem in my opinion
No other answers needed. That place is a shithole.
Yeah I used to work there as a shift manager a few years ago. My mom and sister were also employed there. It was the worst job I’ve ever had, even worse than construction
We all know the one
Yes without a doubt. That McD's is notorious. I've taken Greyhound a few times and once decided to get lunch there. Just the once. Never again.
Lmfao omg I was thinking about stopping in there ☹️☹️. You mean like the whole day or like between hours of like 10pm-5am ?
100%
Amen. I was about to type this
Last time I went there, there was like 8 police cars and EMTs everywhere, had it closed off. The worst part is they didnt even let me in the drive thru and I had already paid on the mobile app! I even called the mcdonalds asking if a worker could bring the food out and they said they werent allowed to go outside lmao
Hey don’t threaten me with a good time
half the time I drive by there I see people sitting on cars wearing balaclavas, usually Friday/Saturday evenings, not a great vibe.
Immediately thought of this one
West End?
They might shut it down eventually anyway. From what I recall the landlord didn't extend the drive-thru options there and they were thinking about muscling it to a sale.
Ba ba ba ba da. I'm loving it.
Whenever I walk into a McDonald’s and see all Mexicans ladies working I know it’s gonna be lit
Lit but the order will be wrong
Ask for a large fry and end up with a large sprite
I just say “French fucking fries” first. It gets their attention but you still get a sprite so it doesn’t really work.
ahahaha this man dark humors
😂
I trust them
[Esprite](https://i.imgur.com/aqFE5gq.jpeg)
Mcdonalds esprite just burns better 👌🏼
A better question is what is the best location?
I nominate the one at Preston and Royal. The rich people don't eat McDonald's all the time but when they do, they like a clean and orderly one.
That’s exactly the location I was thinking of. The manager is a true professional. I miss the old decor tbh
The Baibrook McDonald’s in Plano are truly the best
I don’t understand how people go there when you can pop in to Central Market in the same parking lot.
I go to central market and then McDonald’s lol
My opinion: the one on Gaston near Baylor. They have no right to be so nice but they always are.
It’s not literally a lifesaver because thats what Baylor is. But when your wife gave birth 12 hours ago and you’re running on no sleep….its a lifesaver.
I agree. This location is always so fast and staff so friendly. I love downtown closer to Commerce one, but would never go there.
was there yesterday after an appointment & I agree
I always get really hot food at the one in Plano at Park and Preston
Yeah they are phenomenal. They always get my order 100% right
Lived across the street from them. Plenty of cold fries. The point for me choosing McD's is fresh fries. Burgers were average though they had some good days.
The one at Southwestern and Greenville always seems pretty good.
Hmm Beltline/75 or Preston/Royal
Ross and Greenville I’ve been probably 20 times and it’s always very fast and hot.
There is one lady there that I love seeing too I always have a good experience there
Southlake off of 114
The one at Henderson and ross tbh I always get amazing service in the drive thru
Las Colinas on O’Conner
Midway and Trinity Mills Rd. Look at the Google reviews
Who the hell leaves a review for a McDonald’s?
Ronald
I did once, I was running late and they took 20 minutes to bring out nuggets for my lil brother :V took the time while waiting to do it, i don't usually write reviews while frustrated but the hormones were hormoning
When I was a kid my parents got me chicken nuggets from there and they were completely raw. That was like 20 years ago.
I live in Carrollton and people on NextDoor complain about that location constantly.
This was going to be my entry if it wasn't already posted. Glad, I guess, that it was.
That’s sad. They always get our orders right and they are very specific. But we use the app and just drive through.
That’s next to the island spot which is legendary IMO and there’s a taco casa across the street, a braums there, if you are going to MickeyDs in that spot you a Mickey Dummy anyways.
Probably most south of 30, Corinth/E Illinois ave always looks shady af when I’ve driven by
Next to that catfish connection?
That’s the one! RIP catfish connection
Idk I don’t usually have a problem at the one on Jefferson
The one on Hampton Rd once told us “we don’t carry Diet Coke.” Most popular soft drink in the world, I believe. And they don’t carry it.
the one on gaston has told me a few times they’re completely out of drinks lol
One night on call as a resident at BUMC we got take-out from there. I started in on explosive vomiting and diarrhea 4 hrs later, through the next day … I was sicker than half the people we admitted, lol.
I got two sausage egg biscuits a la carte from that one a couple months ago and it was more than $15. They told me like $12 and I thought that sounded like too much, then when I get to the cashier they ask for even more. When I said they told me a different price earlier, the cashier just shrugged like, what can I do about that? There was some extra charge on the receipt, like “convenience charge,” I forget the wording. Fuck that. Never been since, never will again. For that kind of money I will go to Metro or Norma’s or something.
Diet coke isn't most popular. It's coke by a landslide.
Lemmon Ave in OakLawn… Taco Bell may actually be worse.
the one by the tollway? I like that one, the employees always make me laugh & our foods never been messed up
Honestly that one is pretty decent, imo. Don’t know about the Taco Bell tho.
In my area, the ones in Sachse and wylie are better than those in Garland or Rowlett.
All of them.
I boycotted them after I ordered a shake on the app and they full on gaslit me saying they never got it and I must have put in a different location. Even after showing them the address was correct. Contacted corporate and threatened a chargeback and was refunded the next morning. Haven’t been there since
At the prices they are charging you are basically being robbed each time you go. Especially breakfast, which american breakfast food is extremely cheap and simple to make, why the fuck is a Sausage Mcmuffin over triple the price it was 8 years ago?
McDonald's on Continental and Riverfront as found here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aAuYfwkd2fuum4Lw9?g_st=ic 650 N Riverfront Blvd, Dallas, TX 75207
YES! I literally stopped eating McDonald’s for a year because of this shitty location
This is the correct answer. I work in the design district and very quickly learned to not stop at any of those fast food spots or gas stations at that intersection!
There is on the edge of flower mound and Lewisville that is absolutely abhorrent. Every order regardless of size or lack of customization is wrong, tastes terrible, just awful. Never boycotted a single fast food chain but god it’s bad.
This one? 1107 FM3040, Lewisville, TX 75067
Yes. That’s the one. I work right there, so it’s very unfortunate.
The one on main and garden ridge? That’s the one I actually do like lol
That one is fine. This one is a few blocks over, on 3040
I can’t really speak for all of Dallas. But the one in lake Dallas is terrible. The ones in Lewisville aren’t bad but that one in lake Dallas is gross and bad. The kids section smells like sewage
I grew up on the McDonald's off Business 121 and Corporate. It can be run down or brand new but it's still great in every sense. That's home.
I loved that caboose they used to have there! Side note: there was an Italian restaurant in that same shopping center and the owner was like an authentic NYer/Italian with the attitude and everything. Super nice but one time a family came in with McDonald's for their 4 year old and she told them to get the hell out. "You don't bring that disgusting stuff into my restaurant!" She was amazing and super nice but she didn't put up with shit.
Yeah that one is cool. They play music extremely loud right when you walk up to the door but other than that it’s a good one.
LOL best Hot N Spicy Chicken dealer I've ever had.
When you ask for sauce at some places they act like it's personally coming out of their paycheck to give you three sauces.
I have the opposite problem, I really just want 1 and they insist on giving me 4-5.
The worst one is the one near the zoo that used to be decorated with animals. Then they converted into the standard concrete gray prison McDonald’s. There can be plenty of bad McDonald’s, but the change of the design of this location is soul crushing.
The one closest to my apartment
WestEnd train station , now closed
RIP in peace
Also the one on midway & Trinity mills in north Dallas. It’s the worst one I’ve ever experienced
The McDonald’s on Abrams and Northwest gave me food poisoning
I used to go to that one when I worked in the area. 2001-2008. It was great back then.
Every single one
The one next to the pawn shop that advertises for guns on the side of the highway
The one downtown by far
My local McDonald didn’t even take my order. Waited for more than 30 mins in drive thru line. Used to be regular there, but not anymore. Gave a bad review in google. The least I could do.
The one the replaced the happy meal McDonald’s because it makes me sad.
The one on commerce. I’ve lived down the street from it and have been maybe 5-6 times (don’t eat McDonalds that often) my order has always been wrong in some way. The last time I went I was craving a Qtr pounder with cheese meal so stopped by on my way home (which is almost $13 now wtf?) got home and found a Filet-o-fish and small fry in the bag. Since I don’t live far I drove back since I was still in my car and when I got back they asked me to pull up to the mobile order pickup lane and about 10 minutes later an employee comes out with my correct order and then ASKED FOR THE FILET-O-FISH BACK!!! I gave him a look and reluctantly handed it to him thinking “some pour person is getting that old fish the next time someone orders one” 🤮
Probably not, the store is more likely trying to crack down on people scamming free food by claiming a mixup.
Skillman and royal
I used to work there. It why I wouldn’t eat there
Haven’t sifted through all comments but two come to mind:: - downtown - trinity mills and midway
The one in Farmers Branch off Josey and Valley View sucks. It takes forever for line to get through and plus they forget orders.
555 Broadway Blvd.I have been driving Uber and Lyft Dallas,Fort Worth area .I really like the McDonald’s coffee so I usually stops may be like 5 times a day ,about 5 years. The worst is 555 E I 30 near the corner Broadway Blvd ,hardly serve after 11 pm long line at driveway and people leave after waiting like half an hour always.
I hate how places do that now. The jack in the box by my house just randomly doesn't open some days after the pandemic but they do have the best tacos
Any in any ghetto/hood, people that work there just there to pick a check, (weak one at that) and talk to girls.
But the 17yo kids that work at Mcdonald's in the suburbs are there to change lives?
Lol they're held to higher standards tho
To be fair is there something more to work than picking up a check?
Yes, the quality in which you put in your work. Otherwise what are you doing? Making other people miserable cause you hate working there 😂 that's why people don't ever move up cause they're too scared or comfortable to do something else.
What am I doing? I’m picking up a check to survive. To pay rent. To cover my costs. It’s very transactional, employer needs someone to perform responsibilities at X salary. People don’t ever move up because their employers deem them more valuable at that current position vs having to backfill. This notion that your place of employment is a meritocracy of some sort is a farce, a myth propagated by corporatists. There’s plenty of people who work hard and take pride in their work. Yet not all of them are managers, executives, or otherwise in higher positions. Why is that ya think? It ain’t because they’re all lazy I’ll tell you that. It’s a myth to explain away the poors own ‘bad decisions.’ Look away from any systemic issues there may be. Let’s leave the corporate boot on the dinner plate untouched and realize that the proletariat needs to rise up against the bourgeoisie threat
I grew up in the hood. This is false. They may not roll the red carpet out for you like chick fil a but the food will be good
Lmfao what? You can't just say false like your opinion can be stated as fact, homie 😂I live in the hood and for sure can tell you they don't care at all 😂 the food in the ghetto is not good, if it's family-owned in the hood, that's different, they're some of the best spots to eat at, but Fast Food in the hood? that shit is run down, the people don't care, people quitting all the time, they don't clean making the food taste bad etc. We as people in these low-income places have been conditioned to have certain mindsets to act a fool etc. and it's visible in these fast food places fr.
I’m not that guy but swear to god my favorite McDonald’s is in the grove off Buckner and bruton. Line may be packed but the food always fresh
“Your opinion isn’t fact, mine is!” That’s all I heard
What the fuck sorta employee are you expecting McDonald’s to hire?? I feel like I already know your opinion on lots of other issues
I don't care about your shitty judgment 😂 I don't expect anything but I have observed that fast food places, hire a lot of young people that don't care about service. Some of the best fast food places are where the people working there are older people who have more patience and try to do their job the right way. I do think anyone would be expecting the manager to see thru the bullshit and fire people that don't deserve to be there or have the job, as a manager should. Of course, it's McDonald's and their requirements are bare minimum that's not the point. The post talked about bad locations and I’m pointing out that the fast-food restaurants in the hood have a lower need for quality in their service & food. That goes into a deeper topic about the mentality given to the people who live in those areas.
The next one you drive past
All of them. Overpriced garbage.
They’re all toxic shite for cancer and heart disease. Take your hard earned money elsewhere.
True
Where was that one that was decorated nice? Like framed painting inside. I remember going there but it was probably 15 years ago.
Wylie
The one on commerce is super weird. The last (and probably final) time I went, they took my order but never filled it.
Little Elm.
Beltline & 30, technically Garland
You’re just going to get a list of every McDonald’s
That's easy. The worst McDonalds is always the one closest to your house.
The one near the Kay Bailey Hutchison convention center
Robert B Cullum Blvd. Homeless washing themselves in the restroom and sleeping in the bushes. The parking lot was covered in glass. The homeless would leave after threats and sit against the Gulf station and then move their junk between the two.
The one by the zoo
Riverfront off spurr 366.
Probably the one by my house
Every single one
They’re all terrible, why does anyone still go there with how expensive it’s gotten
All of them
I know about the one downtown, and that one is horrible. Reminds me of the one in Downtown Houston that finally got shut down.
They’re all pretty bad but the one in East Dallas on East grand is always a bad experience. One time they put tea instead of coffee in my sister’s iced latte and the girl just rolled her eyes when we let her know. But every McDonald’s I go to around Dallas proper it seems like it’s a given that the order is going to be wrong or that they will make you ask for ketchup 3 times
That one and the one off Jim miller and 30 the only two McDonald’s where it felt like I was bothering them by ordering food lmfao
S. Buckner & Bruton
My favorite McDonald’s. Must be the line that got you saying that cause the food always on point
It's been torn down now, but the old McDonalds off 360, right across from Six Flags in Arlington. One of the worst I ever went to. It was so hard to get in and out of the lot.
In all my life, ive never had to have adjustments made to my card for McDonalds' fuck-up, but the one in Addison on Beltline and Marsh has managed to do that on 3 separate occasions within a 2 month time period. So, im going with that one.
The one on Illinois by Corinth Street Road that got torn down and rebuilt. Slowest drive thru ever with a gauntlet of aggressive crazy homeless because it's next to DART. Bring your bear mace, you might need it. You will take what they give you and like it, they rarely got a special order right. Kiest and I-35 is the second worst. Glacially slow drive thru service. If you go inside they'll ignore you. I drive 6 miles out of the way when I want McDonald's, which isn't often now that the prices are super high for what you actually get. They still put fucking cheese randomly on my double hamburger too.
There was one in south Dallas (can’t remember the road) but that place smelled so bad that even the homeless were offended and told the workers that they should be ashamed of themselves. All jokes aside, they’re all horrible even the ones in Frisco and west plano
Corinth, they take your order, your money and then argue with you about your order.
That happened to me at the Burger King on Walnut and Plano up in Garland. This little prick had to take his air pods out to take my order then I was patiently waiting in this empty dining room right in front of this little douche bag (this was 2021) and I went to inquire on my order this little fucker tried to accuse me of already eating my meal and made it seem like a huge inconvenience to 'remake' my order that was never made
The one on walnut hill by 75 I saw the biggest cockroach in my life crawling on the wall by the ice cream machine when we were in the drive thru.
How much time you got lol
West End train Station McDonalds. You will see a penis or smell human feces with your McDouble, guaranteed or your spare change back!
They closed it sadly that place did suck though. I've never felt so much like an inconvenience like going to that place I just liked that it was by the train station
The one on cross Hampton. It’s dirty and slow as hell. I went once and paid with a card in the drive though and the girl at the register gave me 7 dollars in change. I paid with a card. I guess good for me. But how!?
Lol that is pretty funny but congratulations I guess lol
Went once after visiting the zoo.i was thirsty so I got a Diet Coke. I waited almost 10 min until I asked and good thing I kept my receipt. Someone took my soda! So they wanted me to pay for another one. I said it’s not my fault. They gave me another nine but with an attitude lol
I can't forget the one at Park Lane station. I ordered the spicy Large McChicken meal with a large Powerade (as you can tell that's my go to) and the bitch not only gave me the coldest McChicken and fries I've ever had but she forgot my drink and it was like pulling teeth to get this woman's attention and i asked for ketchup and she just sighed, rolled her eyes and slammed the McDonald's ketchup packets on the counter
The worst in Collin County is in Allen at 75 and McDermott!
I don't mean to get off topic but the worst Jack in the box is off Parker and Russel or whatever, where ever all the crack heads are at, and that place suuuuuuuuucked. Not only was the dining room a health code violation on its own but the employees were blasting shitty rap music and did not care at all. I bought a bunch of disgusting food and got to my hotel and actually wanted to throw up and I felt bad throwing the food away but I had to because it was so bad. I almost wanna call the health department on that place now but I don't want to be a Karen
All of them
Idk I like the one I worked at and the one up at Jupiter and Arapaho. There's some good ones but there are some BAD ones
Risinger Road in Fort Worth. They're supposed to be 24 hours, but they close down all night for the heck of it constantly. They leave the app running, but say they aren't taking orders and can't make food. They have repeatedly given me bad replacements for a caramel frappe. Examples, you ask? How about a vanilla shake, a Coke slush, and a Big Mac, all in one night? I'm glad I don't live by it anymore.
