FYI, The playplace at this location closes at 7 pm. This information is not available online. You are not allowed to have food and drink in the playplace room. I'd recommend the one is Shrewsbury if you're looking for a playplace. It does not close and you can sit and eat in the room while the kids play. When I came at 7, the chairs in the dinning room where all up as if they were closing, dispite the dining room being open until 11 pm.

😤🤬😬I had a terrible experience with this location. I clearly ordered a McChicken sandwich and fries. After waiting a while and reaching my destination, I opened the box only to find a burnt sandwich bun and overcooked chicken patty — completely unacceptable. The service was also rude and dismissive, which only added to the frustration. I don’t know who prepared the food, but it felt like there was no care at all in the quality. A few tips for other customers: Always check your food before leaving, no matter how long the line is. Ask for a receipt — they didn’t even offer one. Speak up if something feels off. Fast food workers earn $18/hour — paid from all our pockets — and we expect at least basic quality and respectful service. This kind of treatment is not okay.

I was looking for a quick snack before dinner and I picked up their deluxe chicken sandwich with cheese added can I tell you this sandwich was on point hot and crispy and really simply amazing. They did a great job and always always very attentive. Thank you again for a perfect sandwich.

This is a standard McDonald's like one you would find anywhere. The food is standard McDonald's fair, which to me is now considerably overpriced. Considering the quality of the food you get. I used to love McDonald's when I was a kid but now All of their burgers taste like bread, flavored sandwiches, there is not nearly enough meat in these things anymore. Plus the fries are not what they used to be. Skip McDonald's and go to Chick-fil-A instead.

Worst McDonald’s meals I’ve had in ages. Fries were old and hard. Sandwich was chewy and gross. Best part was the McFlurry. Fast foods not cheap anymore the quality doesn’t match the price 25$ for some garbage.
