This is probably one of my favourite McDonalds in Calgary, and I highly recommend it to all newcomers and visitors to the city of Calgary.
This location has it all. Big Macs, Flurries, Meth, Crack.Handcuffs
At Noon.
No cover charge is required.
Seating is ample and inviting, offering your choice of sitting between different warring factions of both drug dealers, users and people who make their living begging on the streets look like oxford thespians by comparison.
Entering the establishment, you can't help but be in awe of the ambiance overall - the gently drifting smell of human urine wafting the washrooms (which may or may not be safer than your local prison depending upon the time of day). Breathe deeply to take it all in, because you're actually going to smell of it before you leave.
Ordering is fast and efficient in any language unless you have selected English or french, in which case there may be a slight problem. Charades and pictionary experience really come to your rescue here as you try to draw 'no pickles' on the back of a napkin.
To be honest I was extremely surprised to see that this McDonalds is not rated child friendly? What child doesn't like the excitement of a live tasering or a good fashioned red and blue flashing baton take down right by their table? Take that Happy Meal Toy!
Nightly entertainment is provided free of charge by the performance actors whose colt 45's have run dry around 8 pm and customers are encouraged to make a donation on the way in, while they're in and on the way out to help replenish this vital fluid.
Food quality is beyond reproach. The product presented to you upon purchase looks like it does in the commercials right down to the water dew lettuce droplets. It's then gingerly placed in a carry out bag which is folded and then placed in a paint shaker.
The best part is that the bags are magic - we're talking Harry Potter magic here - where what you ordered teleports to a different bag and you wind up with 6 filet o fish and three large Sanka's.
6 stars is the order of the day here - but alas I can only give five.
I'm lovin it.
