McDonalds has 99 cent coffee. Any size. I recently found this out so have tried to put my mindset to look for a McD's should my caffeine addiction surface. This location was a bit disappointing. Went through the drive up. Ordered 2 coffees. A medium and a large. Window 1 was payment only. Then proceeded to window 2 for pick up. Where we get informed that they only had enough coffee for the large. Instead of a medium hot coffee - could they interest me in an iced coffee? Soft drink? Umm - no. Ok - will I mind waiting while they brew a fresh pot. So now I get a bit excited - fresh brew! (And also wonder how long that other pot had been sitting around!) My coffee finally comes out and is just a few degrees warmer than lukewarm. How do you brew coffee with warm water? It did not have that fresh brewed taste. I'm hardly ever in Ayer so not sure if I'll ever be back. But I am willing to give them a second shot to get coffee brewed correctly. read more

The hours this place is open is a joke. We were there at 9:30 and they were closed on a Sunday. Tons of people waiting too. They really need to update the times this McDonald's is open and closed. It's the second time they have done this. They are NOT OPEN past 9:00pm EVER. Save your time and go to one in Leominster. read more

Standard lower tier McDonald's. Ordered via the app, and as usual, no issues with my order. Staff was okay, as was my food. Restaurant was a bit messy but clean. It was freezing in the dining room! read more

I work for Doordash and came here to pick up an order for a customer. Although there was only one other person in front of me at the drive-up, the wait was extremely long. That's understandable, given the late hour and likely minimal staff. What is unacceptable, though, was the attitude of the woman who was working at the window. I told her the name of the customer, which she did not recognize, nor did she know the order number when I gave it to her. She asked me if this was a mobile order. Believing she meant a Doordash order, I said yes. When it was clarified that it was not a mobile order she tried to cast blame on me for the mix-up. Yes, it was my mistake for thinking a mobile order and a Doordash order were the same but as I stated before, I had just given her the customer's name as well as the I.D. number and that should have sufficed. Also, I had already identified myself as a Dasher when I spoke to the same woman on the intercom, and she should have known what type of order I was there to receive when I arrived at the window -- as is custom at every other drive-up; I picked up two orders from the neighboring Taco Bell on the same night without a hitch, and as far as I could tell there was only one person there on duty. I'm giving two stars instead of one but only because the man who finally gave me the order was far more polite and professional. Sorry you were having a bad night, ma'am, but don't take out on others. read more

everytime I go to this location there shake machine is always broken. If the shake machine is broken why can't someone fix it? Someone needs to learn how to fix it. I don't understand how it can be broken so much. Overall the food is good, but could use some work fixing the machines. read more

Clean bathrooms and the employees don't seem like they want to murder you like the Wendy's in the same area. Drive thru set up is a little awkward if there's a line but who's putting that as a legit factor on the review for them? Again nice employees, that's not always a given in fast food read more

Very dirty. Out of cups out of ketchup trash over flowing tables have trash all over them. Go some where else

They literally never got McFlurrys. My review needs 85 characters so I'm just typing this to type but im pretty sure the I've cream machine is not broken read more

This McDonald's I had hoped would improve over the years but it has not. Huge line most times of the day that barely moves. Sign boards always messed up to order, and the staff is just sluggish and often make mistakes. The drive through is so run down it makes me worry about the cleanliness of the kitchen. If minimum wage is raised federally, this place will automate and get rid of all the workers which likely would be the best thing for this place. Has to be mis-managed to allow this kind of poor service for the 5 years we have lived up the street. People can't be that lazy could they?? I would hit the Wendy's across the street off the rotary instead. read more

At first when Mcdonald's renovated I wasn't too happy with them, but whatever they have changed, it's working! Service is sooo sweet and fast and my food tastes strangely amazing? It even looks like it was actually made by someone who was paying attention to their job. Huge step up - Local Resident read more

I used to come to this McDonald's a lot years ago when I lived in the area. Walking back in was a time warp since it has not changed at all in the last 7 years. No touch kiosks, pretty much a straight McD's out of the late 90's early 00's. When I do come here on the road for $1 coffee. Let's be honest, McDonalds is the best deal for decent coffee at the lowest price. I would do that over Dunks and honestly Starbucks any day of the week. As far as McDonalds's would go, I would give this a 3 star for a fast food McD's; however I have to consider that given what other burger restaurants are out there, and is McD's really ever any better than a meh? read more

food was mid at best, cold fries, old nuggets. the real issue i have is that i went to use the men's stall, only to find that it seems someone had ejagulated into the toilet, and subsequently left it there. i can only hope that it wasn't one of the employees. read more

McDonald's - semen in men's toilet. - Burgers Near Me - Ayer, Massachusetts

Today on our way Christmas shopping with the grand kids we stopped there for lunch. Big mistake... crazy prices, cold food and could not eat our food there, Kids were kicked out of the only table by the manager for trying to eat at a table, we paid $35.00 for a few quick meals and when we got the bags almost all the food was cold. Worst McDonald's we have ever been to. Will never visit this one again. Total rip off.... read more

I'm pretty sure they take forever on purpose in hopes that you'll just drive away. I waited tonight longer than I ever have in a drive thru. I'm definitely an idiot. There was no bus or anything, just insanely slow and very little effort to try and keep things moving. I know this job isn't as easy as everyone thinks. But it's also not hard to keep up with the drive thru in a timely manner on a Monday night. Clearly needs much better management. read more

I used to go to this location to get coffee sometimes, but this place is so nasty that I've stopped. There are bugs flying around, the places is just so old and grimy. The men's bathroom is disgusting. There was some kind of flood or damage there a year or so ago and they did a bootleg job of repairing it instead of fixing it properly. Probably dozens of similar issues hidden where you can't see them. Fixtures in men's room are also nasty, growing mold and some kind of green slime. Zero stars. read more

the door was shut in my face!!! i saw the foreigner in charge, he looked me directly in the eyes and walked away. i online ordered and didn't receive a refund of any sort. your lucky i didn't sue. i don't normally write reviews but this needed to be shared to fellow mc.dicks consumers, i will be switching to wendys from now on!!!!!!! im freakin pissed. read more

I hadn't eaten McDonald's in over a decade or more and thank this one for reminding me why. Garbage, ALL McDonald's food is disgusting. Cant wait for the explosive diarrhea that is inevitable first thing in the morning. McDonald's? no. McDiarreah. I'd rather eat out of a dumpster behind a real restaurant than eat hot food from McDiarreah. read more

They screw up my order more often than they get it right. Never going here again. Food is subpar. Do yourself a favor and find another location. read more

Been waiting at curbside pick up for over 20 minutes and still nobody has come out. The last time I went here it was the same thing. I called the owner and the mailbox is full. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

This location has got to be the WORST! They never get the order right. They put the exact opposite of what you request on your sandwiches, nuggets always taste like rubber. Not to mention the drive thru worker touched trash and then handled our food. Tried calling 6 plus times to let notify them the only thing my kids would eat out of the $30 order was the fries but no one picked up. DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION! read more

Horrible chicken tenders, and they screwed up coworkers order after he had to explain it to them 3 times. read more

McDonald's - This is what is left of my 6 piece chicken tenders. Because that's the level of disappointment they brought me. - Burgers Near Me - Ayer, Massachusetts

GET YOUR FRAPPE MACHINE FIXED OR REPLACED. It's always down ugh it's very frustrating when I go for that specifically.

Although this is a typical McDonalds today for lunch they provided my family with extremely friendly customer service. It was my kids first time ordering food on their own and staff were very friendly and supportive to them even though they were busy... I'm great full for their great service today!! read more

Had to do a review just to say this is the cleanest, best organized and nicest customer service we've ever had at a McDonalds. Kudos to the management and staff! read more

The only reason that I didn't put 1 star is because the burgers, fries, and milkshakes are really good. But the reason for the low rating is because I always order a plain cheeseburger and 40% of the time they put ketchup or pickles on it sometimes even both it's so annoying. Like COME ON! It's not that hard to make a plain cheeseburger. read more

Never been to this McDonalds but I have heard complaints from a former worker about this place. This building needs an inspection. It has mice and bug problems that are not being handled properly. Workers would distribute items contaminated by bugs. read more

I like this McDonald's much more ever since they updated it, my orders always right and done correctly! Thank you McDonald's

Don't let the renovations fool you. Customer service is awful! They still can't get orders right. Stay away and go to Wendy's.

Last night I took a group to this McDonald's location after a long night in Boston and was disappointing with the experience we had. The first issue that we ran into was the fact that this spot is supposed to be a 24hr location, but that didn't quite work out. This 24hr rule includes both the drive-thru and dining area, and when we arrived all the doors were locked, even though the door and windows said the dining area was supposed to be open. We finally got back into the vehicle and drove up to the drive-thru. When we got to the speaker we had to wait over 5 minutes to have our order taken, then had to wait an additional 10 minutes to receive our food. Our order consisted of 5 burgers and 2 orders of french fries. The wait time was obnoxious. The other issue was that the staff member taking orders seemed to be overwhelmed and then she also went to make the food. This location needs better staffing at night time. read more

Least reliable from the world's most reliable franchise. I've ordered take out 20 times, and over 10 times waited for 5+ minutes in the drive through line. The employees are friendly, but their smiles do not offset their terrible service in delivering the most predicable food service in the history of mankind. Do yourself a favor - get better take out for better value at the Wendy's at the next exit on the traffic circle. You'll be glad you did. read more

This McDonald's has been consistently hit-or-miss for me. The good: generally the service has been friendly, however sometimes absent-minded (more on that later). Dining in hasn't been too terrible in my experience. The bad: the location sucks for drive-thru. It's at an already busy rotary, so during breakfast and lunch hours, the place can get slammed, to the point where people are backing up the surrounding road just to get in for the drive-thru. Regarding the drive-thru, I've had issues (that I didn't discover until I got to work) with incomplete orders, no straws, no napkins, no utensils, or the one time when I ended up getting someone else's half-drank milk. The place does the job though. It's McDonald's. I would definitely kill for more variety in the greater metropolis of Ayer. read more

Worst service of any McDonald's I have been too. They routinely put cones in the pickup parking so when you arrive you can't park. They lock the doors. You have to use the drive through and it goes at a car every five minutes. When you can get pickup it takes 10 minutes and the food is cold. You can't go in to get it because they lock the doors. Most of the staff speaks minimal English. Just terrible read more

I got a plain filet of fish with just cheese and extra pickles on it. It only came with 2 pickles but whatever I can deal with less pickles. What I found unacceptable was that they only gave me HALF a piece of cheese. Not whole, HALF. THEY LOOKED AT MY ORDER AND SAID "hm. Let's not only give her the bare minimum amount of pickles despite the request for extra, let's take the one slice of cheese that isn't whole, And slap it on and call it a night". Ronald McDonald would be disappointed read more

Amazing breakfast service. The food came out fast and it was amazing, and the employees are very polite and nice to the customers.

Just tried the buttermilk chicken sandwaich..... GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!! Overcooked on the outside, rubbery chicken inside with a streak of gristle through the middle.... YUCK! Couldn't eat half of it. read more

The restaurant is clean, and the crew is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is open 24-hours but the McFlurry and shake machine is always conveniently broken at this location after 8 PM. If you are in the mood for a McFluffy, my advice is to not waste your time, avoid the disappointment of finding out the machine is on the fritz (supposedly), and head straight across the rotary to Wendy's for a Frosty. read more

Cannot follow simple directions! Spent 8 minutes in drive thru for 2 bisquits with butter and bacon. After several requests to repeat the order at the speaker, I had to repeat it at the window. I've tried ordering inside the restaurant, drive thru as well as mobile ordering (which is a complete nightmare) and feel that ordering breakfast here will never be quick as promised.... read more

Clean store and crew are made of very nice young adults. They work fast and the orders are always right.

Ordered two fish sandwiches with a medium drink for a total of $5.98. At window I used my phone app for buy one sandwich get one free offer. The worker said my total was $6.72. I said that doesn't make sense I use a coupon and you're charging me more. I said fine let Me pay the normal $5.98. He called Manager over and said sorry it's in the system , can't help you , you have to pay the full price. Both didn't care at all. I paid the full amount but was upset about the principle and the attitudes. I think it was because I was in my police uniform. No response either from McDonald's for two weeks since filed complaint. Shame read more
