Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
The inspection record is the stronger half of this page. How long an order takes cuts both ways here, averaging 2.9 among the reviews that raise it. The staff is the next most common subject, in 32% of reviews (averaging 3.7).
5 stars is the modal score, given by 7 of the 19 reviewers who rated. 9 of 19 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 8 are two or lower. Behind those, freshness and temperature is raised in 16% of reviews (1.3 average).
On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (91/100), with 9 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That inspection was on April 20, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. On health score it sits safer than 45% of the Brevard County restaurants we grade. Among the items recorded were dishwashing facilities and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.
The weak part of this listing is the experience, not the sanitation — those are different failures. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

Place was fairly clean,got food in less than 15 mins,I love the strawberry/watermelon drink and on my next visit wanna try mango/pineapple,why don't you sell salads anymore? Staff was nice and engaging.

The gal took such care making my iced coffee, felt like an expensive coffee shop.

I’ve never taken time out of my day to write a review but I am tonight. I went to this McDonald’s tonight placed my order at 11:38 sat at the second window for 10 minutes finally got my drink then a few minutes later got my food. Fry’s were old and cold, burger cold with a stale bun wish I could include the video , nuggets cold. Waste of time and money. What did I wait 10 minutes for?? who knows 🤷🏻♀️

I went tonight and didn't receive more than half my order. I drove all the way back and had to wait again. Missing my Mc flurry, they brought me out the wrong flavor. It was just a mess all together. But this McDonald's is known for not being accurate.

Very friendly, very fast.
-
Nothing was missing from the order and food was good
-
Was here for someone else and customer service was nice.
-
I just want to thank the young lady Tamya who came and helped me out and made sure my order was exactly like I ordered.
-
Asked for a hot coffee and got a cold one.When asked for hot they said they had to brew fresh one and had to wait 10 mins.They knew the one they gave was not hot but still tried to pass it on

This location is TERRIBLE. Staff was rude, SLOW and because they were out of medium cups I was charged for a large drink?? How is that my fault lol Me and the 4 cars behind me sat in the “drive thru” spots for over FIFTEEN minutes waiting for our food… 7:11 receipt, didn’t get my food until 7:27 after one of the cars that was after me went inside to complain and she told me they were sitting on the counter!!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF A DRIVE THRU??? Whole crew needs to be fired- no cap! as they would say!
-
Went through drive-thru trinity was my cashier, really sour attitude. Ordered some tenders and 2 double cheese no onions no pickles, pointed out her mistake at the speaker then again at window. Don't know how simple I could of been. Didn't ask for any extras or only this or that.

Typical mcdonald's
-
Drive thru was quick and the burger was well cooked.

Me detuve camino al holtel Hilton para una cita en Mayo Clinic al siguiente dia pero chick fillet me hizo una digestion pesada por horas no queria digerir. Puede ser el tipo de aceite que usan, que me "mato"
-
I ordered curside pick up, there were no lights on, very dark and spooky, but the food was excellent, and the service was beyond my expectations, the lady that brings the food out was very polite and all business. I was looking at her inside working nonstop and handling customer's issues.
-
I orded a Burger and 6 Chicken Nuggets. They give no Chicken Nuggets and the Burger without tomatoes. I complain it and get the Chicken Nuggets and tomatoes.
