McDonald's Menu Prices at 12514 116th Ave Ne ★3.6 (1555)

We got two egg McMuffins meals this am. The meat was a discolored in places with a grayish green color. I know that this was noticeable by your staff. We didn’t consume those. I worked at McDonald’s for several years as a grill cook and cooked thousands of slices of Canadian bacon. I don’t think this is a result of overcooking or normal color variation or iridescence on a ham product or exposure to air. This was spoiled.

This is a small location and it was honestly pretty dirty. There was trash on the floor, crumbs all over the chairs, and the whole place had a noticeable bathroom-like smell. I saw an employee wiping a table in super slow motion, and he ended up brushing all the crumbs onto the chairs and the floor… and then just walked away. I didn’t feel comfortable eating inside, so I took my food out to my car.

Clean environment and spacious seating. Manager Ephraim is very friendly and helpful. Since we dined as a large group, the store demonstrated strong capability in handling high customer volume efficiently. Everything ran smoothly and in an organized manner.

Not the greatest experience. I ordered from the kiosk ordering machine. I was there just killing some time and grabbed a Carmel Sunday. I was kinda shocked that the little Sunday was over $4!! I went thru with it but felt ashamed afterwords that I would pay 4-something for a Sunday with a squirt of Carmel. Then the wait. I waited a few minutes and saw some activity but not for my 1 item. There were several people working the front area but none were working on my ice cream. I saw the manager ask a worker to make a Sunday and she started it and then set it downs and walked away. She came back and put the Carmel on it. She then went over to the bagging area and I tried to waive her down. She was not paying attention to my wave or overactive body language. The manager had to come over and point to me. Then he had to tell her to get a spoon as it was not with spoon or in a bag when she handed it to me. Yay. I got my super silly ice cream.. anyways, I was in good favor as the ice cream machine was working :).

This McDonald’s location is well known for having very slow service and order times. Their drive thru is absolutely unbearable any and all times past 10:00 P.M. if there’s more than 2-3 vehicles ahead of you in line. They just don’t turn orders out quickly by any means necessary. With that being said, the staff are kind and good people. They just have zero regard to speed or doing things fast. Maybe a heavily understaffed location? I’ve tried to pick up my own personal order from here a few times in the past and upon pulling up, I changed my mind and ate something else. Unfortunately, they’re one of the only locations in the entire bothell-Kirkland-Redmond-bellevue-etc area that are open late night // 24-7. I understand that things can be tough with a low crew member count but I’ve just never seen it good here. Whenever I’m grinding DoorDash/ Uber Eats, if I arrive and the line is long I instantly cancel my order no matter how good the order is for me because there’s no way I can afford to financially wait 30+ minutes I. Line to get the food. I have genuinely (not trying to be hateful or biased) had this experience at any other drive thru in the entire state. I’m a massive DoorDash grinder with over 10k orders completed the entire greater puget sound area, mainly in Renton, Bothell and Lynnwood where I’ve lived, but I range quite far away in my daily grind. With that being said, this takes the cake as the number one slowest location for a drive-through that I’ve ever experienced. I have yet to actually order food here because anytime that I’ve tried to order here in the past, my order was rejected for being within 20 minutes of changing their menu a.k.a. 3:40 AM when they change their menu for breakfast at 4 AM and the excuse is that their system is down. I’ve had to cancel my order and wait 5 to 7 days for a refund from McDonald’s and I also lose my discount code for the entire day, which is always a bummer. Overall, I do make money here when I can, but in general, I have had almost nothing but bad experiences in terms of weight crimes. That’s just a full honest truth, I really wish I didn’t have to say that about this location because I do like the employees.
