Niles McDonalds is the same way. Before pulling away from window, Gotta check to make sure everything is in the bag. 9 times outta 10, they forget something, or the order is not correct.

Those lazy employees probably set the fire in order to get out of doing their jobs. I refuse to go to that location becuse of the worthless bunch they have working there.

We literally walk there from our house and have never had bad service there. They are better service than MCD's on Cass. It's interesting that this MCD's was going to be knocked down and built in the lot next to it because of the C.R. 17 construction and then it catches on fire. My kids are dissapointed becaseu that's where i take them when I need time to relax.

see all those chicken sammiches these places sellin? All the jalepono poppers? All the spicey, hot things ... I told them, all of them that this was going to happen. You cant keep makin spicier and spiceier foods with out increasing your fire risk. They never listened, they just never listend and now it happened and I couldnt stop it. Please, cut down on spicey foods is all I'm asking. Thank you.

You aint kidding 'Elkhart County' I stop in McDonalds every couple weeks and I hear just where you're coming from on that gas comment. We banned my brother from even looking at a McDonalds. He got some of that in him a couple years ago. The barn cat aint been right since.

So TRUE, Elkhart County. The employees at this McDonalds are either mentally challenged or trained to mess up every order. They need to hire people with at least a first grade education.

I do hate the “rip you off” service at this McDonalds, but I do sincerely hope everyone is okay. I hope it goes back into business soon so they can continue to forget customers’ food and rip them off any way they can. Literally almost 99 percent of the time we go to this one they forget some of our order. Yes, I know, fix it at home. I hate this place, but it's right down the road and a gas saver.
