This afternoon I found myself on uncle duty with my nieces and a gaggle 6-year-olds in tow, so this Tumwater McDonald's seemed like the best place to be. We drove an extra twenty minutes out of the way to visit this Capitol Blvd location because they "have an amazing PlayPlace," according to Yelp reviews. Seriously, where were PlayPlaces like this when I was a kid? Once again, Yelp steered me in the right direction with 5-star recommendations. We ordered the kids their happy meals at the fancy new kiosks, grabbed a number, then headed to the family lounge where electronic NuroErin activity tables and the four-story Obstacle house provide entertainment. This McDonald's location has really impressive ammenities. There are very sturdy leather chairs at some of the tables for adult comfort, and the aforementioned NuroErin tables have built-in LED lights with touchscreen capabilities. Wow! The Obstacle house has four levels with slides, stairs, swings, whirlygigs and all sorts of bells and whistles to provide entertainment for the kids. Wear socks... shoes must come off! And no children over twelve are allowed in the play structure. There's even a small slide and tiny merry-go-round for the littlest of littles. My nieces and their friends had an amazing time, which makes me and my husband Uncles of the Year! Thanks McDonald's for upping your game with ammenities for families. I'll be promoting this far and wide for parents and "Guncles" like me looking for inexpensive entertainment for the kids. read more

So, I have never left a yelp review in my life. but my experience this morning changed my mind. Long story short... The young adult male working the first window was extremely rude and snippy towards me. Making a very snippy and rude comment the slamming the window in my face. When talking to the heavier set woman at the second window... who may of been an opening manager I assume? Didn't take my concern seriously. When I asked her for the name of the guy so I can contact corporate she said "we don't give out names" after giving me me my food... I address again what happened... she says "oh, there is oil in the window that makes it slam shut" not even taking into consideration about the rudeness the male adult at the first window has given me... she finally gave me a name... and I contacted the 1877 number on the receipt and talked to McDonald's customer service. I will be following up with in store management also today. I personally work in customer service. I'm a department manager at a common grocery store here in Washington State and I deal with customers constantly and if I were to have talked and treated a customer rudely like the guy treated me... I would have been reprimanded. Also... about 75% of the time I order from this McDonald's they get my order wrong. Most of the time I let it slide.... But in this instance. I'm not. It's a shame because this is a McDonald's I frequent on average about twice a week. And never once had an experience like this. If management thinks it's okay for their workers to treat customers who are choosing that particular McDonald's with such rudeness.... Then I will Not be going back there. So end statement. Guy at first window rude. Woman at second window huffed and rolled eyes and didn't even take me seriously when I told her about what happened. I had to ask her multiple times for a name of the person who was rude. She didn't say she was sorry, didn't apologize. Nothing. Not happy at all about this situation and I'm looking forward to speaking directly with the store owner about this. read more

While I understand it's hard to please all customers, I think $3.50 is a lot to pay for a small soft serve ice cream cone. Does anyone agree this is too much? I've never paid more than $1.50 plus tax at any other location. The manager called me on this. I called her back and she never returned my call. read more

I still remember the good old days when a McDonald's ice cream sundae felt like pure comfort -- sweet, creamy, and somehow satisfying something deeper than just a dessert craving. It was simple happiness in a cup. But this time, the nostalgia didn't hold up. I ordered extra fudge, expecting a rich swirl of chocolate, and instead got what looked like a single sad topping streak. Extra fudge shouldn't feel like an afterthought -- this one was honestly a crushed sundae experience. read more

This has to be one of the very BEST McDonald's I've ever gone to. It's SO clean, the play place is new, it's not crazy busy, and the lady handling front of house is awesome! I wish I had gotten her name. She was friendly while staying efficient and professional. I never saw her not cleaning something or getting people their food. I'm very impressed. read more

The food is kind of good, but it could be better. The service is bad. They always forget my sauce. The ambience is bad, but it's just a cheap fast food restaurant for people like on road trips read more

For some reason every person at this location is rude!! Very short and snippy, not a single smile, said thank you maybe 3-4 times and not a single "you're welcome" back, or even a smile. You work in fast food, if you're not happy go somewhere else. Ridiculous. Remember! This is how a lot of people start their mornings !! How would you like if you had a bunch of snobby faces first thing in the morning? I'm sure if these employees smiled at customers they'd get a smile back. it's costs nothing to smile. read more

I waited over 30 minutes for a meal meant for one person, even though I was the only customer waiting for food. I eventually had to ask if it was ready, only to find out they had forgotten to give it to me. When I finally got my food, I found six different hairs in it and to top it all off, the chicken nuggets were raw. read more

They put my Mccrispy inside of a spicy Mccrispy bag with a single strand of cheese and 2 penny sized pickles and took 20 minutes

I made it a point to come and review this location. I regularly grab breakfast here and two other locations. The people here are wonderful. Everyone is very kind and helpful. Honestly thats gotten quite rare these days. I am greeted when I walked in, offered help immediately and just treated really well. Good job to whoever is in charge of this location, they are doing a great job read more

I don't normally find myself doing a review for fast food, but tonight I needed to... I almost gave a 4 star for one very small reason but I see that this place only has 2.5 stars and it feels unfair so I went with the 5 star to shine the light on the good things happening here. I went into the lobby (again I rarely do that at a McDonald's since my kids are grown)... I was surprised to see how automated it's become. No smiling faces but things were hopping in the kitchen and drive through. Made my order on the giant kiosk thing and got my drink. While waiting for my order I observed the teamwork happening. Braydon (manager) was on it! I know McD's trains well and it shows. It was a pleasure to watch this young man run his shift. Communication across the board and even with the drive thru customers. At one point he celebrated with his team that that got a compliment. The respect for their boss was apparent by the staff. He ran a tight ship. The place was impeccably clean and service was fast and friendly. My filet o fish was delicious. Good job to this team, Braydon and location. read more

Best McDonald's ever! Live the service and the restaurant looks like new inside. Our food was great and the app has a lot of great deals. Awesome service all around. Highly recommend. read more

Been good, always friendly drive-thru. Not been sick after eating here and seems clean.

Corporate needs to pay a visit. Dine-in guests are not a priority, they wait behind the gig delivery drivers. No condiments unless you ask, then a miserly amount is provided. Always have to ask for the cup for a drink that was ordered. The list goes on and on. Avoid this McDonalds. read more

Once again any McDonald's is better than this one. Forgot to order a sprite. Got to the window and asked and they give some bs line that they can't take order at the window when just yesterday I added a McDouble to my order at the window at the McDonald's in Lacey across from target. read more

Hey Wendy's is starting breakfast service today and McDonalds is giving away free Egg McMuffins. Coincidence? NOPE, ha ha. Absolutely brilliant marketing. McDonalds has the best fast food breakfast sandwiches IMHO. Not the easiest app to download and activate though. :-( read more

The obviously have NEW employees! Took 15 minutes to get through drive thru and the girl working window did not know what the hell she was doing ‍ I always drive the extra distance to come to this one for the customer service. I will no longer be doing so unfortunately read more

Ordered 2 crispy chicken sandwiches that literally had a teaspoon of Mayo and two measly slices of pickles with nothing else on it. My girlfriend had opened her sandwich and got a long hair staring back. Fries were okay. Worst McDonald's food we had, didn't even eat it, went somewhere else. read more

We visit this McDonald's often late at night after trips up to Washington (we're from Oregon). We will literally pass every other McDonald's from Seattle to Tumwater JUST so we can go to this one. The food is always fresh, the service is quick (for being late at night and cooking everything fresh), and the servers are friendly. Last night the manager on duty was dealing with a rude customer that was dealing with an Uber delivery issue, he handled it so well, and still managed to help our group with ease. 10/10 will always come back here. read more

I've been a loyal McDonald's customer for 20+ years. When I got home, I noticed that they made my recent breakfast order completely wrong, so I had to throw it out. I came back next day to order again, and report my previous experience for a refund or credit. Manager refused to make it right because I had no paper receipt. I explained that I use the mobile app and they always direct me to window #2 where no paper receipts are handed out. He just smiled and refused a refund, replacement, or even a credit. read more

within the past couple months this mcdonald's has went severely downhill. the past 4 times i've been here, i had a missing burger 3 times. so 75% of the time, you are missing items from your order. so you have to go back, the fries get cold (which are usually only half or 3/4 full btw) to ask for your missing item. today the worker had an attitude about it, usually they apologize and bring your missing item out.... but this guy could care less. i'm including a picture of the large fries i got one of the last times i went. no fries were in the bag and i didn't eat any, this is how i received it. read more

I just watched an employee spend over half an hour cleaning every surface in the PlayPlace. This is now my favorite McD!

This McDonald's has super nice employees, especially the night shift. They are quick, efficient and competent. Food is always cooked to order and is hot and fresh. My favorite McDonald's!! read more

I haven't been to McDonald's for a couple of years. Today however I had a craving for a Big Mac so I decided to order dinner for the family. I used their app which had BOGO' for a $1. We had 2 Big Macs, 4 quarter pounders, 2 large fries and 4 large drinks for $27. Pulling in for curbside service was simple and they brought out the order in a short period of time. The server was friendly and the order was correct and the food was still hot whenever we got home. It was great service, solid food, and one of the more positive experiences I've ever had. They even remembered napkins and ketchup. Sounds silly, but there was nothing they could have done to do any better as they already did a great job. Much better than visiting some other chains in the area for an inexpensive dinner. read more

Ordered 2 Double cheese sausage and egg McGriddles, 2 extra cheese sausage and egg McMuffins, and 2 hash browns. Got home and instead we had 3 McMuffins 2 were double cheese and sausage and a sausage and egg on another and a McBiscuit. The actual order was easier to put together than what we got. Life already has enough disappointments, don't be one of them McDonalds. read more

This location is not good. I don't go here often, but I always get something basic. No special orders, I get things just as they are. Even though I only go here once every few months, something is always wrong with my order. Usually I'm missing something. This time takes the cake though. I ordered two regular cheeseburgers. Again, no special requests. I get home and go to eat the first cheeseburger and there is no meat. It is literally a bun with cheese and ketchup. My other cheeseburger had the meat, but the ketchup was on top of instead of inside the bun. I get that it is fast food, and I'm not expecting a gourmet meal, but how do they forget the meat in a cheeseburger? They just need better attention to detail. read more

Came here for a quick stop in and I never come here. The food is just like anywhere else but what really caught me off guard was the service. Absolutely outstanding. Young male and female were the only ones working and the respect they have for their customers is out of this world. Much respect, those two will go far in life just based on there personalities. read more

Horrible customer service, will not repeat. Wrong order, refuses to make it right. No Bueno

I get that things can be busy in any typical fast food and some things can be over looked. How on earth did someone feel that it was okay to put legitimately rotten lettuce on a sandwich and then serve it to a customer!!?? Not only that. They put like 4 pieces of rotten lettuce. It seems like it had been sitting there for days. The mcchicken went straight to the trash and we did not go back for a refund as we do not want anything else from that facility. read more

I have 26 Box truck , and who Work I'n McDonald. sorry we can't we cannot take your order

Pretty average McDonald's in an okay area. I got 7 hash browns and there was no one behind me but I pulled over to the waiting parking spot for about 3 minutes and got my food. It was pretty nice and hot. read more

Not the best McDonalds. Rather go here than the Olympia one where every person clearly hates their life. There's a really sweet lady in drive thru, if you've been here you know. She's the only reason I prefer this place. Another very understaffed fast food place though. Really sucks for the good employees. They often shut down early or close the lobby because they're too busy. I've been doing DoorDash for a couple months and I haven't got fast food in this area since before Covid. Man has it changed! read more

Stopped here on a road trip and had to post a review to shout out Chaz, who was totally single-handedly keeping this place running tonight. She was so on top of things and incredibly kind, even as there was chaos unfolding all around her. I'll be honest it seemed like the rest of the employees were pretty incompetent so if you come here you can expect a pretty long wait time, but we loved Chaz and wanted to hop on Yelp to make our appreciation known! Give this woman a raise!! read more

Awesome McDonald's. Has great customer service and the play area has one of the best ones I've seen. read more
