| - I wanted to review this place just because it tends to me a bit more unique than the typical McPoison's. The 4 stars are simply for three reasons and three reasons, only. Firstly, its location. It's in a great location and is the only McDonald's directly south of I485. Secondly, the restaurant is always very well maintained and feels clean, and lastly, the playground.
This location has a great kids play area, especially compared to other McDonald's locations; I've never seen one quite like it. It has a lot of different activities on the climbing area alone ranging from ropes to spinners to climbing nets. It and also has a few other activities such as interactive video games where the child stands on a skateboard and manipulates the game --they're actually get to do some fun physical activity after eating their 700+ calorie lunch. It also has a similar type device but is a racing game. As well as the video games, it also has a couple of lower areas where very young children can play if they aren't able to climb on the taller activities. They even have a fully-netted mini trampoline which is also great for kids.
I really like the seating area where the play area is, too. Unlike most locations, the one's which may have two tables, this has more like 16 tables so more than two families can site and watch their kids pickup virus' which their body isn't immune to yet.
One downside to this location being as it's the one around here is that the drive-through line can get quite lengthy; though it does go quickly.
It kills me to rate a McDonald's 4 stars, but based on the three factors I mentioned above I feel it deserves it. The food itself going without saying --its crap* :)
* OK, my disclaimer to that is that their coffee, chocolate Mocha, and milkshakes are actually pretty good --they get half a star for those items...
