The word on McDonald's (Bagdad Rd)
Here's the word going around
I haven't risked a burger at this one yet, so this is the diners' read, raw patties and all, not mine.

By several accounts this location has real problems. Reviewers describe ordering a double and walking out with a single, or a cheeseburger they never asked for, more than a dozen times over, and worse, a raw burger that showed up not once but on a return visit. People report being shoved into curbside, waiting over 40 minutes, and having to walk inside and raise a voice to collect food already paid for.
The one bright spot has a name: a register worker named Hayden, who reviewers say takes orders with real, bubbly warmth like she cares whether your day goes well, rarer in this building than it should be. The recurring sentiment: give that girl a raise, because the rest of the operation is running on fumes and undercooked beef.
Even a rough McDonald's gets a fair shake from me, though I'll be cutting that burger open first.
The Order
Reviewers wouldn't stake their stomach on much here, but say if Hayden's at the register, at least the order will be right.
⚠ Gotcha
Cut into any burger before you drive off, by several accounts. Raw patties have shown up here more than once.
That's the word on this one.
