| - Wanted to write a positive review for an "almost" fine dining experience! Yes, I realize I was at McDonald's!
I had the pleasure of having the Create Your Taste experience at this location, and it was phenomenal! Upon entering the restaurant, you are able to build your own burger at their touch screen kiosks. This is only the beginning of the dining experience where you are able to select the type of meat you would like for your sandwich and a vast assortment of various accompaniments, including bacon. My burger was extremely well well-dressed... I chose the quarter-pound beef patty on Artisan roll with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, bacon ($1.00 upcharge), pepper jack cheese, American cheese, guacamole, Mac sauce, crispy fried onions, and leaf lettuce. I also asked for the parmesan peppercorn sauce and creamy garlic sauce on the side to sample and to dip my fries Once my order was placed, I had the option to pay at the kiosk or at the cash register. I chose to pay atthe cash register so that I could confirm that my order was correct. When the order was confirmed, I was given a hand-held locator and asked to be seated. The locator was used by the staff to find me in the dining area, and to bring the food to me once it was prepared. I'm sorry, did I mention it's a McDonalds?
My wait was about 7 minutes, but for good reason! I simply thought this would be a regular quarter pounder with cheese to which they would add all of my requests, but nooooo! Your sandwich is prepared fresh to order, there is no pre-cooked meat, and it's dressed according to your specific taste. My burger arrived wrapped in sandwich paper and my fries were in sandwhich paper inside of its own personal fry basket. How very cute! My burger was delicious and not overly messy... even with my grocery list of toppings.
The service was excellent! My entire meal was $8.32 and well worth the extra cost, even at a fast food restaurant. I must say it was ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS I have ever had! And since I received such a surprisingly excellent dining experience, I went to speak with the manager. I wanted to compliment chef Cameron who prepared my burger, as well as the staff who assisted. The dining area was quite clean and I enjoyed my time at this very new and phenomenal McDonald's!!
