The McDonald's in Elburn, Illinois has a serious problem with either incompetence or dishonesty…read morewhen it comes to honoring app discounts. On Saturday, November 15th, I opened the McDonald's app, added the $1.00 coffee offer to my drive-thru code, and placed my order at the window. The discount didn't apply. When I showed the employee my phone, she said their system was rebooting and refused to honor the deal. A few days later, I tried again at the same location with the same $1.00 coffee offer. The discount still didn't apply. The attendant told me to refresh the app, but even after doing that and generating a new code, nothing changed. When I tried to re-add the offer, the app said it had already been used. I told them to cancel my order, but later found out I was still charged. Paying three times what was expected for a cup of coffee might seem trivial, but it's frustrating and unacceptable. Either the employees don't know how to correctly process discounts, or they're choosing not to. McDonald's needs to fix this issue immediately so customers aren't overcharged for offers the company advertises but doesn't honor. Buyer beware at this location.

This has an interesting look - nice and open, a variety of tables, comfortable seats. Good stuff. We looked at the menus to the right as we walked in, and kind of figured out what we wanted. While we waited, we saw their video which shows the various levels of "moisture" you can have for your sandwich, which was very helpful. A regular sandwich is 6" and a large is 9" - we both went with the regular with hot Giardiniera peppers. My wife chose hers with the "easy gravy" option, while I went "The Chicago Way" with the ends dipped. The sandwiches came out fresh and hot. The beef was nicely done, well cut (no gristle) and melted in your mouth. The Hot Giardiniera was HOT as advertised (which is why I ordered a small fry to help soften that later. I wrapped up with a fudge brownie which I shared with my wife. The staff was attentive, and took care of us. Very nice place, good service, great beef!

I've always noticed that the size* of the (probably pre-manufactured ) pizzas vary sometimes and…read moretoday I might have found out why-- Today is Thursday, the special day where you save $1.51 on the pizzas ($6.99 vs 8.50 regular price). I believe* they are using smaller pizzas on Thursday to make up for the smaller 'sales' price, which would be underhanded and misleading. I picked up my pizza, opened the box and immediately noticed a smaller than usual pizza size..... maybe 1-2 cm smaller. I believe it should be the same size no matter what day, deal, coupon, etc. IMO. Can Buona or anyone else explain to me how this *isn't false advertising, similar to Subway footlong BS, Walmart Black Friday deals, etc? It just shows dishonesty and lack of decency towards the customers which makes me think hard about going back. I smell a class-action lawsuit if the right people (not me personally) get ahold of this information. Please do better Buona, because I know you can. (I didn't think to take picture before I started eating it, but attached is a pic of what's left when I realized what's probably going on. You can probably imagine a whole pizza and wonder why the box is so big compared to the pizza. They have people to figure out ideal box size to reduce packaging costs).
