Despite McDonald's being readily available in New Zealand, I still had to try it while in the U.S.! Got the double cheeseburger meal Up-sized. Nothing special. Just bigger and just classic McDonald's tasting. Pretty much identical menu- maybe the only slight difference was that they had McFlurry's but otherwise, not missing out much! Easy to find in Barracks, handy bus stops very close by also. [Reliving my semester abroad at the University of Virginia] read more

Worst McDonald's in all of Virginia, two different times this week I have placed orders online and not been able to pick them up. Thank God there's a Taco Bell across the street. Never have this problem there. read more

After a night of DJing in Charlottesville I like to unwind with nuggets and fries. I live near a McDonald's that is hot and cold when it comes to getting fresh, hot food consistently, and I can tell the difference between just made and "been sittin' out for a while. I appreciate that every time I've come here after a set, around 11:15p at night, the food has always been hot and fresh, and the staff has always been friendly. read more

Worst drive through experience first the one lady anything else anything else to death the second one at the window acted like she couldn't hear me the tea was watered down forgot two nuggets and messed our sandwiches up read more

Fly infested kitchen, waited an hour for a burger that never came out. Seriously don't eat here. Never eating at McDonalds ever again.

Such a disappointing visit... but that's what there is to be expected from a McD's! I stopped in one morning while enroute to the office and needing to grab a quick bite on the run... I waited in a long drive-thru line for 5 mins and the cars ahead of me never moved! I ended up having to get out of line without ever getting food (or getting close enough to place an order). I swear, McD's are always such a disappointment! read more

Ima just be straight up...this the worst McDonald's and you will most likely be disappointed if you give them your service.

The worst, 16 fries in a large order and no one there was able to print a receipt for me. Rude manager . I set the bar pretty low and they still failed horribly read more

The food is always good at McD's, but this parking lot is so poorly designed that you can't even get in the drive-through sometimes. You also can't back out of your parking space easily if there is drive-through traffic. So, make sure you park away from the drive-through. read more

Worst McDonald's. They can not make frappes without them being watered down. My bacon egg and cheese biscuit is cold. I hate this McDonald's. They might as well close their doors read more

This was a mixed experience. They had me stand in the wrong when there was clearly line to to have their customers adhear to social distancing. They had me in a different line and because of that I was not six feet away from people though the manager was nice also the lady checking me but the lady doing drive orders at the register was almost yelling no at me read more

The service at this location was a bit slow for how empty the restaurant was. The cashier was trying to run 2 cash registers at once and seemed overworked. I had not seen this before so I don't know if it was because they were short staffed or if there was a different reason for doing this. The staff was friendly and the food was made fresh. The floor of the restaurant was dirty and I had to walk around stuff on the floor to avoid getting it on my shoes. read more

This is a standard McDonald's. Nothing out of the norm. Went here on a early morning with a large group of people. We swarmed their lines and kept it long for quite some time. Despite that, they got our orders out as quickly as possible. I was able to sit down and eat within minutes. The lady who took my order was super friendly. read more

This place is consistently terrible. Everyone seems angry all the time, and the wait times are atrocious

This location once wasn't bad though in the past few years and I left a previous good review, but seems in the past year it's just really went downhill. Yes I like my nuggets and burgers, but like many the fries are what makes me choose McDonald's. Most every time here for a while the fries have been cold and stale like or more as they were the other day and that's lukewarm and soggy. Drink that I got in the largest size was flat and syrup like. I ordered a quarter pounder and a Big Mac. Both came in quarter pounder boxes and one was made correctly, however my Big Mac the bottom burger was not the patty used for Big Mac but the quarter pounder and then the top bun to the middle bun was just plain. Being about 40 min from town it's not an easy fix for the person I purchased the meal for and I shouldn't have to go through my bag and dissemble the food to check for accuracy. I know it's fast food, but all your doing is making burgers and chicken sandwiches so consistency and accuracy I don't think is asking too much ‍ read more

I have been to this McDonalds on numerous occasions. It used to be very good. Recently, the quality and service has been terrible. Last week , I went in and the entire restaurant smelled like fresh "vomit". There were hardly any customers. I turned around and left. I don't know what has happened to the owner/ management; but I will not be spending my money at this McDonalds in the future! read more

I occasionally go to this McDonald's. Most of the time I do stop at this location I'm usually in and out. Drive thru is usually pretty quick later in the evenings if I do swing by. The employees are usually pretty friendly. read more

All McDonald's are pretty much the same. I'll always love the Big Mac and McChicken Sandwich. Breakfast is always great here. Chicken biscuit is to die for. I like this one because they put fresh flowers on each table. This is a nice touch. The one bad thing about this place is they charge for sauce packets. Can you believe that? read more

When I was in grad school... On a Sunday. At the drive-thru the woman on the speaker box couldn't hear exactly how many McNuggets we wanted. When we pulled up to pay, the first and only thing this black woman said to our car full of Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Filipino students was, "I don't speak Chinese." And holds out her hand for the money. read more

Took 10 minutes for there "special" smokehouse chicken. I ordered a burger but at that point whatever. Not much customer service and this is the second time for food being late. Last week was the mcrib. Not comming back. read more

One of the worst McDs franchise I've ever been in. It's CONSTANTLY a mess inside. They don't have anyone who's sole job is to clean the lobby area? There's no reason that place should be filthy. When that Chick Fil A opens up, this McDs is going to take a serious hit and they deserve it!! read more

The smell of vomit was so incredibly overwhelming that I turned around and left immediately once I stepped foot inside the door. What is utterly confusing is the fact that there were probably 20 people inside who seemed completely OK with the vomit smell. I guess I'll stick to using the drive-through if I ever come here, but this was powerfully dissuasive. read more

The drive thru lady working Sat morning (Oct 31, 2015) literally called me a "dick" over the intercom because I forgot to say "large coffee" when upsizing and had to correct myself before i confirmed the order. She also used other random expletives while she was making the correction. Granted I was laughing my A$$ off listening to this with my wife, senior citizen aunt, and cousin as were they. It was certainly a memorable experience and one I look forward to sharing in the future. This is a standard McDonalds, the food was fine, coffee fine, it is what it is. I only felt compelled to review because I've never been cursed at for correcting my order. It was kinda funny though. read more

Slower service than non-fast food restaurants. really astoundingly slow service. 30 minutes for a cheeseburger level slow. Talkin sloth slow folks. Go elsewhere read more

I was a frequent customer the customer service went down me and my friend came in today she said the lady's room had blood all over it and when I went into the men's room it had poop all over the toilet and counter. The managers are rude they take forever for your food. I have never experienced something like this before I will not be returning... read more

Ordered a happy meal for my little kid, it came without the happy meal box, just in a bag. When I gave it to her there were no fries and they forgot the ketchup too. It was the slowest mcdonalds I have ever been to. My little girl was so sad that only half her food was in the bag. Not cool. read more

Due to busy work schedules and never having time to make food at home or things come up, I often eat out. I can honestly say, NEVER have I had food poisoning. If I ate out, something may have upset my stomach but I am not one prone to puking or diarrhea. Well, I picked up lunch at this McDonalds location on Friday around noon. By 6pm, I had excruciating sharp pains that went from my stomach, to my chest, to my back for hours. I took some Tylenol and went to bed. 3am, I am up until 8am with the worst food poisoning symptoms possible. Being that the McDonalds was the only thing I ate yesterday other than some pop tarts for breakfast and salad I made from home, there is absolutely no doubt I received contaminated food from this location. I WOULD NOT SUGGEST EATING FROM THIS LOCATION. And I hope everyone whom was eating there is not feeling what I am feeling. read more

Horrific customer service (at least in the drive through). Slow service, angry employees, and a generally poor experience.

This McDonalds has decent food and the front employees seem friendly enough but the managers are unconcerned and rude! When I was talk to roughly by an employee I asked to speak to the manager and she informed me she was the manager! I have never seen anyone act so unprofessionally! Come to find out, the guy standing next to her was a manager and he didn't try to intervene at all. He stood right there just staring off into space. Just so you know Tiffany and Keith, you have been reported to upper management and I hope that on other customer has to be yelled at or mistreated by you! I did not deserve it and no one else does either. read more

It's a McDonalds. What do you expect? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In general I haven't been disappointed. I used to go here several times a week back when I lived in Copeley. The food is exactly as you expect (cheap and terrible for your body) and the workers are pretty nice. They don't charge for sauce (anymore) and I haven't had anyone call me Chinese. read more

Yuck! I went here as a pit stop on the way home from vacation. It was okay when i walked in and then it started going downhill. The employees didn't know what they were doing and my food was cold. On top of that, i saw at least 2 cockroaches by the soda fountains! Do not waste your money here. read more

A standard Mcdonalds affair, but a super friendly staff.

My roommate and I used to come here everyday as poor college students. We lived off the dollar menu. The fact that we came here everyday and received the same low level of service is appalling. I worked at a fast food place during high school and I cannot believe these people are allowed to work here. They acted annoyed of customers, took their time taking orders and giving food, and would stop in the middle to have a conversation or finish talking with each other. Sometimes I'd be waiting in drive thru for 15 minutes because no one was at the window. And this was not during the lunch/dinner rush and we were the only car there. The people who work here are rude and make the most ignorant comments. Corporate should do something about this. read more

If you feel like standing in line for ten minutes while the people working the cash registers serve their friends who are behind you... Then this is the place for you read more

I just had a horrible experience at the Emmett street McDonald's. My family and I are visiting the UVA Pediatric Encouragement Feeding Program because our son has problems eating. The Encouragement eating program is based on the idea that children with feeding difficulties and or tube dependence need to be treated in an environment that exposes them to wellness and holistic treatment. He loves the Syrup from McDonald's and he eats this with his sausage biscuit and chicken nuggets. Things are limited to what he eats and he loves these things from McDonald's. We have eaten there two day's straight and the young lady (who stated she was a manager) at the drive thru treated my family and I really bad because we asked for an extra syrup. My son will only eat the syrup from McDonald's. My wife and I as parents would not mind paying for the extra syrup because we know that he will eat it. It is really unfair to receive that type of customer service when a mom and dad are just trying to make sure that their child eats what they like because he has a gastrostomy tube (also called a G-tube). Needless to say he does not eat a lot of things. It is a shame because once we left McDonald's I dropped my wife and son off at UVA and I felt sad and angry. Thanks McDonald's way to go!! I am praying for that young lady!! read more
