Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at MCDONALD'S
It's McDonald's.... You know what you're getting and it's always great. We stopped here for breakfast after landing at the Orlando airport. We had pancakes and sausage and the ever famous egg McMuffin. The place has been remodeled and the interior is spacious with modern decor. Last night we hit up the drive thru for the perfect Hot fudge sundae and berry smoothie. Be sure to check out the dollar menu. He can get a lot of bang for your buck!

The Golden Arches are getting fancier and FANCIER. This one is located on a busy road, and if you don't know exactly where you're going, it's kind of hard to get to. Just be sure to plug it into your GPS and be good at looking ahead, knowing when and where to turn. Now that I gave you that quick tip, let's get to the good stuff. The grub was delightful: I was starved, so I bought a stack of pancakes and a breakfast burrito. The pancakes were cooked to a perfect golden brown and the hot sauce I got with my burrito complimented it to a T. The atmosphere was okay. Like I said, the look is modern and hip, which I love; however, it could have used a nice clean. The garbages would have benefited from a wipe down as well as the tables. The service added to the simply "okay" factor. The host was not very friendly and customer oriented, but my food was correct so I at least know she was listening to me. TIPS & TRICKS: * Fill out the online survey at the website located on your receipt, free sandwiches are offered and it only took me about four minutes to complete, and that was only because I spent the first two connecting to their complimentary wifi. * Since we're talking about breakfast, try the Sausage Egg McMuffin as well as the cinnamon roll bites. Cue the drool.

This McDonald's? I'm loving it. I've been coming to this McDonald's for a couple years now. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They're not perfect (no one is), but anytime they have ever made a mistake they are quick to correct it. Being where they are, they usually have a high amount of traffic, but I have never had to wait a ridiculous amount of time for my food (even though it would be justified, especially when the big tour groups show up). Also, they are not highly overpriced like other restaurants in the area. Usually most places in a tourist area pad their prices a bit to get that extra tourist money, but this location has found a happy medium between normal and outrageous. Like it said, I've been coming here for a while now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Cheap lunch when you don't want what the convention center food court is offering. Plus it gets you out for a little bit. Take a walk. They've got prime real estate because they seem to stay busy. The crew looked like they were working their butts off to keep the lines moving. It was fairly clean while I was there and the food was the typical McD standard. You know what you're getting. Okay, here we go - trivia time McDonald's covers the globe: The northernmost McDonald's is located in Oulu, Finland. The southernmost McDonald's is located in Invercargill, New Zealand. The world's easternmost McDonald's restaurant is in Gisborne, New Zealand - and the westernmost McDonald's restaurant is in Western Samoa - as they are the closest to either side of the international date line.

This is a great, conveniently located McDonalds close to the convention center. If you have a convention or a conference nearby, you can easily hop over to this McDonalds to grab lunch. The prices are great compared to many of the restaurants on the street. The line moves quickly and your food comes out quickly as well. You have one of those stations on the side with ketchup , barbecue sauce napkins drinks drawers anything that you might need in addition to the sandwich that you order. There's plenty of spaces to sit, inside and outside, there is a large tables and small table so that you can have a place to set it's appropriate for the party that you're with. It will definitely be a frequent stop for me when I have conferences at the Orlando Convention Center.

The cashiers here are trying to take cash only with no receipt. #pocketmoney? We came here at 3am and they said between 3-4am is cash only with no receipt because they boost the system. What? We have a restaurant and POS system don't need reboot???? I think the employees are trying to make some extra $$. Hope the owners see this ... The manager name is Rose. It's the one next to Day's Inn.

I decided to pick up lunch before I went to work and was expecting the usual "get in get out" service. I went through the drive thru and was greeting by a genuinely friendly person over the speaker to take my order. The lady was very patient with me and didn't make me feel pressured at all to hurry up. When I was finally done ordering and it was time to pay, I was greeted with a smile at the first window. At the second window, I got the same thing and she told me to have a good day. These may sound like ordinary things but they all had a real cheery and pleasant attitude and didn't sound or look like they were faking it. Also, my good was hot and ready as soon as I was ready to pick it up. It was really refreshing since McDonalds' usually have a bad wrap for service. I will definitely go back there again when I'm craving an apple pie.

This is NOT the largest McDonald's as someone earlier mentioned - in fact, they don't even have a play area like that person mentioned. Any way, it is an up to date restaurant, but the day I visited (a Wednesday at 1PM), there seemed to be a McDonald's convention going on. There were several large table areas filled by McD employees wearing different colored team shirts. There were so many of them, that I had to eat outside in the central FLA humidity. On top of that, there was a group of them crowding around the drink/napkin/ketchup area. Then, two employees came out simultaneously to refill the tea machines - no "excuse me, pardon me, or screw you" was offered as they crowded me away from the condiment station. Just an FYI to the owner - this event earned you a solid one star.

How is everyone going to write a review for a McDonalds? Seriously? Like you are going to say something so profound that has never been said before. You must be the type of person who looks at the menu and holds up the line. Or you are the person who pulls up at the drive thru with a van full of people.

Food was okay! But two Stars because the customer service is TERRIBLE .., we checked our order before leaving the drive thru window and noticed they forgot to complete our order & on top of that gave us a wrong drink, we told the lady and she screamed to another lady in Spanish asking what comes with the #14 .. Speaking another language in front of customers is NEVER okay!! And the worse part was she never apologized just gave us an ugly attitude & an ugly look the the whole time

It's a modern McDonald's. Go in at a peak time and order a typical menu item, and it appears just like that (like ordering a sausage mcmuffin during breakfast hours). Go in at an off time and order a grilled chicken item, and it takes a little time - because they are making it to order. Both of these speeds are good - fast breakfast when you just want to get in and get out, and a chicken sandwich made to order. It's been ages since I've eaten at McDonald's and their fries still taste the same. Wait. no.. these were saltier? maybe they've always been this salty. The only reason I came here is that there really are very little cheap dining options around the east end of the convention center, and this is the only fast food option. Otherwise you've got Denny's, IHOP, Red Lobster, and hotel restaurants ($$). Orlando, you could probably add another fast food/quick serve eatery in this area. Also, as mentioned by Darcy, Amy's review is for a different McDonald's since this is not the giant one she mentions. Bonus: the Drive Thru signs on the pavement look like they are in some sort of Jason Statham action movie font. Also, they have strawberry fanta. yelp.com/biz_photos/mcdo…

The food was good, but it looked as though a hurricane had struck the inside of the restaurant. I've been staying at the Red Roof Inn down the street and I didn't even know that this McDonald's was there, since I've been going out the opposite way. It's a bit small and very busy, but it looked a disaster with tables in need of service, and with a broom sitting around some tables, as though the person using it was swept away. It took a bit of time for the food to arrive, but with the drive-thru just packed, I can't imagine how they keep it going. The fries were great! This was probably the first time in 30 years that I'd had fries that weren't sitting over the fryer or that they'd not retrieved from the fryer on time. That said, beeep beeep beeeep! Someone needs to handle things more promptly. The Filet-o-Fish was fine, although a bit sloppy. Unfortunately, having said "for here" two times apparently didn't stick and I got my food in a bag instead of on a tray, and they were out of lids. However, the drink area was such a mess that I was surprised that someone would let it look like that.

Coming after horror night, found this place fast, its products had the expected standard quality, ordered the food by drive through at 3am. One year late review: when i arrived @hotel I found: they forgot the freaking sauce for the nuggets, salt and sorbet; so be sure to ask for that stuff if your not going home.

Gotta love my chicken nuggets with sweet n sour sauce. And I'm so diggin the wild berry smoothies and iced mochas now. I believe this is the world's largest McD's or something written on the wall outside there. They have a huge play play area for the kids on the second floor. They have fun cool games like basket ball shoot, Deal or No Deal, toy car rides, and race car/motorcylce games. Its probably not the cleanest in the ball and tunnel slide thing but a lot of kids run around in there. Other than that I'm a McFan!!! Mmm I'm loving it!!!
