2.5 stars rounded to 3.
Very mixed bag experience here. We needed to eat and decompress in between sightseeing rounds and decided to hit up the best fast food chain candidate for parking, pricing, and past experience precedent. Well, you can't beat the nearest McDonald's, right? Not quite.
The parking lot is so tiny, you can't even drive along the street past the queue of cars crammed in there trying to enter or exit. We weren't about to camp for a spot, so we turned the corner and were able to find street parking.
We entered and were immediately confused by the apparent lack of human service. There was a row of self-serve kiosks, and a front counter devoid of either staff or menu board.
Eventually, a staff appeared at the cash, but we were unable to choose anything from a menu, because it doesn't exist. You must either use the app, the kiosk, or your own brain's connection to the Borg. We had no idea what was on offer besides the perpetually available signature items, so we ordered a quarter pounder meal; and 2 McCrispy meals, which we subsequently learned were not what we described to the staff. Crispy chicken sandwich should be a breaded fillet with mayo, lettuce, tomato. Instead, we got heavily oil-drenched, deep-fried fillets with one piece of pickle and nothing else. The fries at least were hot and fresh. We also had to waste a stupid amount of time figuring out what beverage options they had.
It's a fairly large location with plenty of seating. The 2 washrooms are locked, individual use rooms, and the lineup was constant. They are roomy, and were an acceptable level of cleanliness.
I really wavered with whether to round up to 3 or down to 2. In the end I had to go up to 3 given that it was the only place we could find to meet our needs. Between the street parking amidst no parking anywhere else; the price point; free Wi-Fi; and relatively relaxed/comfortable seating, we were able to decompress, have our meal at a leisurely pace, and make full use of the facilities so that we were ready to head off to our next destination. On the other hand, I'd make sure to go to another location that has human beings at the ready to serve human customers, and a posted menu that doesn't require the Borg to access it.
