McDonald's

I’ve enjoyed more than my fair share of burgers over the past 71 years, and McDonald’s has certainly been part of that journey many, many times. Over the years, I’ve learned that not all locations are created equal. Some burgers arrive looking like they were slapped together in a hurry, barely resembling a complete meal and sometimes, the top of the bun has arrived upside down. On several occasions, the fries have clearly been cooked in old, rancid oil—something you can often smell before you even walk through the door.nI’ve also noticed that older staff members tend to deliver more consistent customer service and food quality, though of course every restaurant is different.nYesterday—Saturday, January 11th, 2026—I stopped at the McDonald’s across from the Days Inn in Camrose, Alberta, and ordered a Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal. To my surprise and genuine delight, it was excellent. The burger patty looked and tasted like real quality: juicy, flavourful, and neither greasy nor dried out. There was no hint of rancid oil in the air, and the fries were crisp, clean, and free of the usual dark spots or hard, inedible pieces. They tasted every bit as good as they looked.nWhat stood out just as much was the customer service. It was warm, attentive, and far from the rushed “here you go” attitude that has become all too common at many locations throughout North America.nI understand how challenging it is to consistently deliver top quality food and service in such a competitive industry. But yesterday, this team truly impressed me. Thank you for a genuinely enjoyable experience. I will be back frequently even though I live two hours away.

Had me sitting there waiting for 30 minutes so I went back through and they didn't even make my order. Figure it out mcdonalds. I do not recommend.

Exceptional dining experience! The culinary delights at this restaurant are unparalleled, with each dish showcasing a perfect blend of flavors. The staff’s impeccable service adds a delightful touch, ensuring a memorable visit. Five stars for the delectable cuisine and the outstanding hospitality – a true gem in every aspect! Thank you so much Christian for being so nice!

Visited on April 24th, 2025 at 11:51 PMnnThis was honestly the worst experience I’ve had at any McDonald’s. I ordered a grilled chicken wrap as a salad and asked for the chicken to be cut into small pieces, as I always do. This time, they gave me a whole chicken breast – which I could’ve dealt with – but it turned out to be raw inside.nnWhen I told a staff member who seemed to be a supervisor or manager, she took the food to show the employee who made it but didn’t apologize. She just said, “I’ll make a new one.” Later, she only apologized for the 35-minute delay, but not once for serving me raw chicken, which is a serious health risk.nnI also didn’t get the cookie I paid for until I asked, and even then it was just thrown into the bag — no packaging, nothing. The second chicken they gave me was overcooked and dry. And while I was waiting at the counter for help, I stood there for over 5 minutes without anyone acknowledging me. I felt completely ignored.nnBetween the unsafe food and terrible customer service, this was a truly unacceptable experience. Do better.

Still has a play place, great for the kids! Food was hot and fresh. Customer service was over and above on the visit especially. Staff was pleasant and attentive. We will be back. Great location. Thank you!
