Out of the dozens of McDonalds in the Halifax Regional Municipality, I think it's safe to say that the Tantallon McDonalds takes the award for worst service... This statement is not made based on a single observation, but rather numerous observations and experiences by myself and others. The service is so slow - and not because the restaurant is busy, because typically it isn't too bad. In addition to being slow, it's not uncommon to end up with wrong items or missing items altogether. The staff, who are often high school students, tend to demonstrate very little initiate and low competence, and seem to lack extreme motivation. If possible, you'll want to avoid going here, but should you decide otherwise, than definitely be prepared for the worst... read more

McDonald's - a mcdonald's logo - Fast Food Near Me - Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia

The service is fast and the food is always fresh and hot. The best fast food in Tantallon!

Absolutely the worst Mcdonald's ever. There is about a 15% chance of your drive-thru order to be correct. The staff in the drive-thru abuse the 'pulling' system and ask you to park far too frequently, when it is usually not required at all or the lineup is light or non-existent. While the staff is generally friendly with well-meaning intentions, they are poorly trained, young and inexperienced, lacking very basic manners and courtesy. IE: Saying "I didn't hear a word you just said" vs "Could you please repeat that" or "pardon me?" At the end of the day you can expect the same quality food available at all other Mcdonald's, so until - like many of us - I am able to curb my fast food cravings, I will continue to be a customer here despite the poor service as there are just not many other options in the area. read more

As far as the food goes, it's McDonald's, a place that is prized for having the same tasting and looking food no matter which one your in. The problem with this McDonald's is the layout. There is a partition between the counter and the dining area, but it's too close to the counter to be bale to form a proper line up, so instead people waiting to order are scattered about and it's hard to tell the people who are waiting from their food from the people who are waiting to order. Also I know it's not the type of place where you would linger over your meal, but a little back support in the chairs would be nice. read more

This is one of the slowest McDonald's on earth. Rarely do they get your order right the first time, as there seems to be too many options on the menu for the staff to keep straight. The drive through is slow and always backed up. Staff, while pleasant and friendly, are seemingly unsupported by management as there are always few people working the front. Today, for example, we were in line behind several folks. One of them was an employee who was on break. After several minutes of no one coming to take any orders, he left line and took the orders of those people in front of him. Great team player....but not enough team members. read more

Every once in a little while, life is made easier with Fast food! When that need for a fast food feed happens, this is as good as it gets. The service here, is always quick, courteous, and friendly. They get the order right 95% of the time. And it's always fresh, since I am sure this is the busiest McD's ever! no matter the time of day or night, the is always people inside, or lined up at the drive thru. I know that what i am eating is not good for me, but sometimes I just gotta do it to save time. I'll be back, but not often! read more

Service is standard fare for a McDonalds, but the nuggets and fries here often seem "old". Of the 10 nuggets i had, only 4-5 of them seemed to be really fresh, the fries were the same. Also, this is the FIRST McDonald's I've been to that charges for sauce. You get 2 "free" sauces with your 10 piece meal, i wanted 2 Sweet & Sour sauces for my nuggest and a Honey for my fries (not a huge ketchup fan) I was told "you only get 2 free" the extra one is 10 cents. 10 cents isn't much, but it will stop me from coming back! Considering i can sit and empty a ketchup dispenser on a tray and not be charged i find it pretty petty they are charging for extra sauces. I asked what else they charge for and here is the quick list from memory: Tomato: 15 cents McChicken Sauce: 15 Cents Sauce on a burger it doesnt come with: 15 cents Sweet & Sour, Honey or BBQ: 10 Cents I have to say, it's amazing McDonalds lets their stores make stuff up like this. The staff even found it amusing laughing about having to charge people for tomatos. Terrible read more

I don't find the service that slow as others have reported, and yes, they do make mistakes once in awhile, like when I ordered a Big Mac cheese and got bun and burger, nothing else. My complaints are often with the person taking the orders for pickup: they sometimes don't speak clearly, speak too fast, or hardly speak English. It's obvious they get thrown into the job without any training. My second complaint is with the washroom that reminds me of the ones in Tijuana, Mexico. FILTHY, FILTHY. They don't even have proper hand dryers so 90% of the people don't wash their hands...then they use the self-ordering kiosks! Cleanest bathroom in NS is the Dairy Queen a block away. You could eat food in their bathrooms. read more

Charged 15 cents for a side of sauce ! Are you kidding me ? That just cost you 50 packs of free Splenda read more

This McD's does often seem slower than others, as did the DQ (I miss you!) and other local fast food places here. The food is what I would expect from this restaurant. I want to give a shout out to the "mature" (read: over 40 years old) woman who works the drive thru window some weekend mornings --- you are terrific! P.S. Nov 7: went for breakfast at McD's today as Smitty's was full. Quality and service were per usual but the new renovations look very nice --- appeals more to adults and no sign of Ronald McD. Watch out for the floors as the tiles are very slippery. The new roof is also leaking. read more

We just stopped by to get our food, the staff were rude and the service was terrible. When we asked about part of our order that was missing they were dismissive and rude. Order was verified by the screen and the cashier where the payment was made. read more

The food is standard Mcdonald's when they finally get it to you but I thought the stories I heard about this place were an urban legend. Slowest Mcdonald's on the planet. read more

I have been here twice, both times I have gone through the drive through and both times my order was not correct, and both times I arrived home only to find that my french fries were only half filled. If I am paying for a product I expect to get what I paid for, not to be scammed and only receive half of what I pay for. I would stay away from this location and I will not be returning. read more

Them fries are floppy and them happy meal grilled cheese is all soggy. Overall a lumpy goodness thats what my momma used ta say. Give me money read more

The place is a joke, the year is 2016, and twice in the last 3 weeks went to McDonalds and was told sorry we can't take any orders for 30 minutes our system is resetting, funny never experienced this at any other fast food outlets, .......couldn't even accept the exact change for a order of fries........ read more
