McDonald's Menu Prices at 14507 Bothell Way Ne ★3.5 (1199)

I live really close by so it’s always been an alternative to cooking or just a quick snack. However, it truly depends on who’s working. Order is about 40% they’ll get it right, or be missing items, get somebody else’s order. Most the time I do go back but sometimes I can’t an I can’t eat what they gave me. So as an update, McDonald’s GM did reach out to me and try to narrow down what’s happening and how they can improve. I’ll change my review in the future to see what has improved

We come here to this one as it’s closest to us. Normally service is subpar and always get the order wrong when I special order for my kids’ burger. Today that happened again where his order was not done correctly even though the sticker on his burger said exactly how it was special ordered. The as I’m eating my burger I notice that one of the patties is RAW. Not rare. Even then that’s not ok for ground beef. It was just straight raw. Like the threw it on the grill for a minute and took it off. Then when I go to remove that extra patty, I find a damn hair in the cheese on the burger. I just can’t. It’s one thing that my order isn’t done up correctly more than half the time. We manage and scrap off what we don’t like when that happens. But the fact that not only was the patty not cooked all the way, but finding a bar.

Two things. 1. I always get the vanilla cone as I am addicted to them. 2. Unfortunately, I live close to this McDonald's. And out of the millions of vanilla cones I have had at Alden McDonald's all over the country. This McDonald's is hands down consistently the worst. The employees here need to go through some serious remedial training on how to use the ice cream machine and serve the vanilla on the cone. It is an absolute disgrace and because I live so close, each time eye pray and hope that something has changed but to my other dismay, does pathetic and sorry excuse of vanilla cone just does not seem to improve. And most importantly, despite witnessing vast improvements in all the McDonald's having functioning ice cream machines, this one straggles behind and lacks the quality control and assurance and remains as a constant disappointment to vanilla cone addict. So much so that (one of the reasons) I plan to move out of this area just so that I can drag my lazy butt to a different McDonald's.

Ordered coffee as a meal with my McGriddle. First, it doesn’t even look like they put coffee in my coffee. Looks like straight up creamer and caramel. Very disappointing. Should’ve just gotten the OJ at that point because I’m probably just going to throw this away. Second, I asked for a sausage egg and cheese McGriddle and got a bacon egg and cheese McGriddle. Very disappointed and feel like I wasted money.

This review is about my visit on Wednesday, January 7th 2025. I've been coming here for years and getting a Big Mac meal. On this particular day, James (unfortunately the GM) was requiring me to pay an extra 25 cents for tarter sauce I always get for my fries. Everyone knows that McDonald's isn't cheap anymore as a matter of fact, I can get Reds Tavern double at Red Robin for a little bit cheaper and its better food. So, I wasn't going to pay any more than the $11.00 it costs for the Big Mac meal. James was sticking to his guns, so I asked for a refund. He gave me my $11.00 back and told me to keep the large coke which was worth $2.69. Wow. What sence does that make? He gives away $2.69 instead of 25 cents. Thats incredibly counter productive to the business. 🫤 Mcdonald's corporate, y'all need a new GM at this location. I went to a different Mcdonald's got 2 tarter sauces for my fries without incident after this. Was completely unnecessary to force me to go to a different location.
