The most horrifying Yelp reviews of McDonald’s locations across the US
[McDonalds bacon burger 2.JPG]Biz Carson/Business Insider McDonald’s is fighting negative stereotypes with new menu items like kale salad and Greek yogurt. However, to fully turn around business, the chain has to look at its worst locations. When customers go to a McDonald’s, they are expecting speedy service and reliable food, not a five-star meals. When they can’t get that, they turn to Yelp. While there are some McDonald’s around the US with sleek seating and engaged employees, there are many locations that enforce the less than positive associations people have with the chain. Here are some of the wildest one-star Yelp customer reviews of the lowest rated McDonald’s across the US. CHICAGO 2402 N Lincoln Ave [mcdonalds double]Biz Carson/Business Insider "The worst McDonald's there is, ever was, and ever will be. It looks like a waiting room in purgatory, it smells like a taxi with a faint hint of bleach, and it tastes like they went rogue and started microwaving breakfast sandwiches from the freezer at Speedway. I feel substantially worse about myself simply for having been here, and cannot shake the feeling that every good thing I've ever done in my life has just been canceled out." Michael S. SAN FRANCISCO 730 Stanyan St Instagram Embed: http://instagram.com/p/-Na1I7CWKq/embed/ Width: 658px "This is sort of the Dorian Gray's portrait of all McDonalds; all that processed, chemically, quasi-food that makes up their offerings is physically manifest in one single location. In other words: for once, a McDonalds truly looks how it tastes. Avoid." David D. NEW YORK CITY 18 E 42nd Street [NYC McDonald's]Biz Carson/Business Insider "Please avoid this McDonald's. For the last two years I lived in NYC, every time I ate there - ANYTHING there - I would get queasy and ill later. Even two fries. Something is Just Plain Wrong with that McD's. If you must, there are plenty of others to choose from. Better still, go to one of the hundreds or thousands of non-chain restaurants - for goodness' sakes, you're IN NYC." Scott. S. LOS ANGELES 1800 S Western Ave Instagram Embed: http://instagram.com/p/1CmLKThgZG/embed/ Width: 658px "A man used the urinal and just walked out with out washing his hands!!!! Restroom doors gross me out to start and I was stuck with clean hands and no towels! Anyway! I got out with the help of toilet paper! But the food! The nuggets were gross!!! Disgusting!!" Nathan A. HOUSTON 2017 Main St. Instagram Embed: http://instagram.com/p/e91eQ9IJv8/embed/ Width: 658px "This McDonald's makes me feel like a rubber-necker at a terrible car accident. I don't wanna look, but its just so horrific that I can't help it. 'Officer, could you bring the body over here? We can't get a good look.' You already know any McDonald's in the middle of a rough downtown area and next to a 24 hr bus station is gonna be bad. But this one is beyond the pale. I was in the Army for years, much of it stationed in the Third World, so I've been in some hair-raising places, believe me (I was in Beirut in the 80s). However, this McDonald's makes my list of '100 places no sane person should ever go.'" David S. BROOKLYN, NEW YORK 139 Flatbush Ave [McDonalds]Biz Carson/Business Insider "Once upon a time I was on a downward spiral INTO HELL. I decided to succumb to McDonald's of all places instead of cooking a sensible meal or even heating an Amy's Organic frozen food meal. I would give this establishment a -5 if possible." Anna S. INDIANAPOLIS 1611 N Meridian St. Instagram Embed: http://instagram.com/p/fFniHojn7M/embed/ Width: 658px "If you are looking for a cozy place to grow old, then your car in the drive-thru at this McDonald's may be for you. There are glacially slow and have been on every occasion. Food is as you'd expect, it isn't any better with the wait." Jeff C. "This is the slowest, rudest Mickey D's in town. Its also the only one close enough to walk to, so... I will be back." Matt U. PHILADELPHIA 3935 Walnut St. Instagram Embed: http://instagram.com/p/YV_iRPOPrW/embed/ Width: 658px "Since this is a McDonald's, I went in with low expectations, but this place still managed to fall short of this low bar... This place is almost always filled with either hoodrats or drunk Penn kids. Stay away." Craig C. SAN DIEGO 1624 Rosecrans St. Instagram Embed: http://instagram.com/p/1275YQAXGO/embed/ Width: 658px "The kids who work here need a gentle massage from my foot on their slow working a----.

SEATTLE 1530 3rd Ave Instagram Embed: http://instagram.com/p/BDQqz-VBwMs/embed/ Width: 658px "When being told to meet at 'the sketchy a-- McDonald's' is all that's needed to establish location it might speak poorly of your business reputation.

Everything was filthy. No one was nice. The food was awful. I think everyone should have this experience at least once in their lives to show you how bad food can be. Once you have experienced the lows, you will appreciate every other meal that much more for the rest of your life. ..or perhaps you'll die from this one. That would be pretty unlucky, so try not to do that." Ninja S.
