| - McDonalds...yes, your marketing worked on me. Here I am instead of at Libretto's Pizzeria (which to me is the McDonald's of pizza, nothing great...but consistent). I came here to try your sirloin burger.
Atmosphere - slightly updated but did not appear like the McCafe style that seems to be popping up all over.
Service - Order Counter line is awkward as no one knows where to stand after ordering. Busy, polite and friendly employees (I was called "sweetie"), fast service.
Food - I came here because of the marketing. I came here for a sirloin burger which looked pretty good on TV. At over 700 calories, I opted to remove things I don't care for (mayo) and things I know based on the source are not worth the calories (cheese). Upon opening the container of my Lettuce and Tomato sirloin burger variant of the three offerings, I noticed that there was a mixup on the bread as they gave me a pretzel-esq bun instead of the advertised sesame. Everything else was correct (including the box) so I was not too bothered. The burger was hot and juicy. I really liked the pickle, red onion, green leaf lettuce, and bright red tomato with a splash of mustard. The only thing I could do without was the heavy amount of salt. Which having stayed away from a McDonalds for quit a while made the excess sodium very noticeable. Overall, I was pleased.
Since I didn't get fries (I know...a sin), I got a basic hamburger just to drown with ketchup and mustard and relive my youth. It brought back memories and amazement that you can get a burger for .89!
Overall - While the sirloin burger did convert me back to Mikey D's as a regular (Chick-fil-a), it has me realizing that every once in a while is not a bad thing.
