was in this location today at 4:40. I ordered two (2) angus bacon and cheese burgers. I asked for no onions which I got nothing but the cheese, pickles, bacon and meat on one and NO bacon on the other as well as the lettuce and tomatos on either. I feel completely ripped off. I also tried to order a sweet tea which the girl at the counter told me they had no ice.. Now this is the 3rd time I've been told that by this location, that is completely ridiculous. You serve drinks you should have ice. This location is a very poor excuse for a restaurant! If I could give this place a ZERO star I would.

Dirty bathrooms and very slow service, but I was pleased because they had a TV on with subtitles and the volume on, and it was turned to the news! A good place to pass some time with a tasty Mc-snack and a hot coffee while in Philly during a chilly day! We stopped here on the way to a football game and found it a very pleasant and relaxing place to hang out for a while.

It's McDonalds, yo. Least mean of them all in Philly (notice I didn't say nicest; truly the glass is half-empty and not half full). And least dirty. You can see it when you spot out the singular golden arches. No Reese's McFlurries, yo.

It's McDonald's. Definitely not gourmet, but it's fast and convenient for the kids. At this particular location, they could have a better supply of napkins and ketchup at the customer's disposal, but like I said: it's McDonalds. You generally go in knowing what to expect.

I loathe McDonald's and fast food in general, but I did go here once out of sheer desparation, hunger and broke-ass-ed-ness. I got a $1.00 McChicken Sandwich, no pickles - It came to $1.07 and I just barely had the change scraped together. What a humbling experience. I pray it won't happen again.

I know I shouldn't expect much but everything I asked for that was on the drive thru menu was not available. I was actually afraid of what I was going to get once I did get it. I saw the movie "waiting". Word of advice stay clear of this arch. Just so you know I was only trying to order a beverage how pathetic is that.

I won't pretend I'm above fast food because I'm not and this rating isn't about the food because we all know what we're getting into when we go to McDonalds. However, I felt compelled to write this review because the service is consistently bad and far worse than any other McDonald's in the city. If you are ordering in the drive through make sure you check your bag before you drive off because 95% of the time they will have forgotten something or give you the wrong order all together. Price always seems to be different every time I go even though I order the same thing. Not sure what that's about. Oh, and don't expect a smile with that order. They ran out a long time ago.

This is virtually like any other McDonalds in Philly. It would be nice if they updated the decor and donated more of their moneys to charity.

If you have a craving for McDonalds don't expect this location to satisfy your needs. The last time we went there they were actually OUT of burgers and last night my friend was having a Big Mac attack but they don't serve them on their "late night menu" AND they were OUT of coke. Unbelievable. If you must have McDonalds visit the location on Grey's Ferry over by the Pathmark instead. The drive thru there is open 24-hours. The Grey's Ferry location is also known locally as the ODB McDonalds as a rap artist known as Old Dirty Bastard was apprehended by the police while dining there.
