| - Key Features: Self-Serve drink machine, and Dinosaur Wall Art
Alright - let us get one thing straight here. The 4-Star rating? It's 4-star in the world of fast food. This McDonald's is not one redone table-dressing away from a Michelin star. It's still a McDonald's.
It still fills your stomach with that gut wrenching hard rock that will have you praying you know a freely accessible bathroom, close to wherever you're about to hit once you leave these not-so-hallowed walls.
Get your McWhatevers, or your Quarter meat-sandwiches, or your Chicken Mc[bites / nuggets] (whatever your preference is.) You'll know me - I'm the guy getting one McDouble, and one Jr. Chicken all for the low low price of 2.92 after tax. Normally, at most McDonald's, this is where I'd stop.
But not here. Not at 192 Bloor, McDonald's! They have the sacred relic that should be present in all fast food restaurants - self-serve drink machines. Yes. There is no reason to order a large soda here. Just get the small, and keep filling it up. Proper seating in proximity to this machine is key. You don't want to have to walk down three flights of stairs to get to it (speaking of which, there is more seating here than could ever be expected to be in use. You'll never find yourself wanting. Unless they're short staffed. Then they chain off the areas. And you're angry. But I've never seen that.)
Anyway - drink machine. Don't you hate asking the people for your 1 part Orange, 2 part Sprite, 1 part Root Beer drink? Tired of the looks they give you, the way they don't do it quite right, and the way it's never the same as that time you first tried it way back in nostalgia-re-written memories past?
Fear not. Because here, get your soda cup, fill it your way, and off you go to the races.
Then - and get this - then, you go downstairs, and sit. I know, I know, I said sit near the machine - and that's key. It is. But, downstairs? Dinosaurs. I'm not talking real ones. This is no "Return to the Cretaceous." This is no BBC documentary special. All you have are pictures. But they're on the wall - and dinosaurs? They're just about the most awesome things in the history of the entire freakin' world. So you sit by them, you eat your stomach pain inducing meal, and then grab yourself another coke/root beer half and half (to see if it really does taste like Dr. Pepper after all.)
Who could resist?
Also - if you want to have a cultural experience, try going later on in the night. The clientele might make some people want to keep their distance, but really, small soda cup in hand, you can hang by the self-serve drink machine (did I mention this location had one?) and watch all the action play out, across, at the cash.
