Home this time the food came out hot prompt with the table service. We did have to get our own drink though. The only thing was it the make crispy chicken sandwich. Looks like it was over done but it wasn't it. Just the fry oil needs to be changed. Other than that, a lot better experience than the last time. I give it four stars.

Blows my mind of all the bad reviews of this place. Been here alot after moving close by a few months ago. Never had a bad order or crappy service. Its actually one of the best McDonald's I've been Tucson.. 11 out of 10 for me.

3rd UPDATE: Well, I think I give up on this location. My first review wasn’t great because they weren’t filling drinks to where they were supposed to. They redeemed themselves in the second part of my review and today everything that could go wrong did go wrong… I went around a van that was just sitting and didn’t seem to be waiting to get into the drive-through. Well, apparently, I cut that person off, and they weren’t thrilled with me and were tailgating. I felt bad because it wasn’t my intention so when I got to the window after placing my order, I asked if I could pay for the car behind me. So first I had to pay for my order which I did with five dollars cash I ordered two Mc doubles. I paid separately for the other person‘s order. I was hoping they would have my sandwiches ready so I could just grab them and go and not have any interaction with the car behind me. Well, wouldn’t you know it? They had no record of my order so they were going to have to redo it and me and told me to go park and wait. I was totally thrilled when they brought my order out quickly so I tossed it in the passenger seat and drove home to eat my lunch. Well, the person that I tried to bless today probably ended up with my Mc doubles and I got both of his quarter pounders with cheese and large fry! I didn’t get what I ordered and neither did he. How hard is it to get this right with as much as they’re paying workers these days the lack of quality quality assurance is disturbing. I have the receipt to show what they gave me and I’m sure the guy I cut off is now doubly pissed because he got way smaller burgers. Not returning to this location. * UPDATE* I decided to go back to this location several days after I left my first review. I will say this location redeemed itself. There is a different crew working that day. I ordered the same thing I ordered in my initial review. They have redeemed themselves. My drink was filled to the top with fresh looking ice. Fries were hot and texture expected. The only negative thing I can say about this last visit is that they put my fries in the bag upside down so they all fell out and were at the bottom. I’ve been going to this location for many years. I’ve never had any issues with service until yesterday. I drove through and ordered a meal to share with my husband. When I got to the first window to pay, I used my debit card. The young woman at the window looked less than thrilled to be there, and stared at me after she handed my card back. I had to remind her to give me my receipt. When I got up to the next window to get my food, a young woman handed me my drink which looked like someone had taken a few sips out of it. Has McDonald’s started to set their machines to fill their soda cups 3/4 full? Even the ice looked melted like it had been sitting for a while. The food was average. The fries were not piping hot and cooked to perfection. Average meal for an inflated price. I guess this is a good reminder of why it’s better to make a burger at home and fill your own drink cups. Disappointing and Customer Service was definitely lacking!

Like this place, actually. Has a play area, gas station and store and McD. We are not easy customers to deal with and usually have a lot of customizations of the menu...the staff helped us with all of that. Same as any other McD experience.
