A McDonalds of Dantesque levels of abasement.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter herein."
It's always nice to come across fast food places that do what they do well--get decent food to you at low cost and a fast pace. This place manages to fail on all three of the relatively easy jobs that its very nature per se is tasked with. I was initially excited for the opening of this establishment and even attended the grand opening and got the free Big Mac-every-week-for-a-year golden ticket. I don't even care for Big Macs but it's free food!
I am not quite sure what is happening here. This place is an enigma that doesn't seem to justify its very being. Strange things happen here. Cars go missing. People walk around inside the kitchen but no meals are produced. Is the whole restaurant some ghost?--a collective mirage recognized by all? And what of inside? Can you even get in? Do you dare? Just like the road to hell, this place looks nice on the outside but everything about its inner nature is slowly revealed to be a nightmare. But by then you're probably already beyond the point of no return. Alea iacta est. Your fate is sealed to culinary doom.
I have gone here, thru the drive thru, during operational hours, and not received any response from the staff. It feels like the place is some sort of front for the Italian mafia. It's hard to think of an explication for how this place continues to exist where it does downtown, lights on, staff inside, yet receiving no service. Even should you get service they are usually unprofessional and very slow. A college McDonalds ought to be ripe for above-average quality.
On the rare occasion I have even managed to be served food here, it takes way too long even if the place is relatively slow in business--yet how it manages to continue to receive any business at all is a mystery that only the dead could divine. Additionally, the food always seems subpar here. May as well go to the nearby Tolly Ho's which is local, better and quicker service, way better food, and a respectable fast food establishment. Or the nearby Sonic. Or wherever. Anywhere but here.
The original McDonalds this...thing...is built over was far superior. Perhaps this current one is haunted by its predecessor, who seeks to return to give Lexingtonians the true homeless-infested dining experience they deserve. It was the kind of place you'd go to and randomly see your librarian from middle school at, sadly eating a #4 alone in a corner. There was something very magical about that.
This place though...it needs an exorcism.
