McDonald's

Yes, Yelp Elites hit McDonalds. Because after a long weekend at the lake and you're heading back to KC, sometimes you just gotta eat. And you can't go wrong with this McDonalds. As others have said the owners keep upgrading the place. It's got ample parking if you have a boat trailer (not a lot but a few spaces). But for the most part it's fast, and if you got hungry kids that Happy Meal can mean a happier 90 min ride back into KC if they're not complaining every few minutes that they are hungry!

They are constantly upgrading.  They donate a lot to the community. They've just added two drive thru lanes.  Super fast service, even on those busy weekends to the lake.  Oh and don't miss out on their sweet tea, it's the best!

Ordinarily I wouldn't bother reading a McDonald's review, but when I did a "nearby" search and saw someone only awarded 2 stars to the Clinton location, I had to know why.

I've stopped at this McDonald's numerous times for a Dr. Pepper (and maybe some fries) on my travels through Clinton. The employees here are always friendly, fast, and professional. Everything is clean, and no matter how busy the place is, the service is quick. I can't imagine anyone not being satisfied with this particular McDonald's.

Oh, but the previous review had nothing to do with poor service, bad food, or dirty fast food restaurant bathroom. Nope. 2 stars because you didn't like what was on a TV news program? For reals?

I stopped in for a Dr. Pepper on the way back to KC today, just to count the TVs. They have 2. One was on Fox News, but the other was on CNN Headline news.  No one was watching either TV.  Instead, there were just a couple groups of older gentlemen chewing the fat (maybe literally-it is a McDonald's) and drinking coffee. Surprisingly, based on the previous review, no one "forced" me to watch either TV news program.

I'm not sure why the previous reviewer couldn't have just relocated to a seat near the other TV if she wasn't open minded enough to watch Fox. I'm also pretty sure no one would have cared if she did switch channels. As the welcome sign says, "Clinton: Good people by nature"--I highly doubt the laid back McDonald's employees (high schoolers and retirees) are trying to indoctrinate travelers here at the junction of Highways 7 and 13 into some sort of vast right wing conspiracy by forcing them to watch Fox News while they eat their McNuggets and sip their McCafe Mochas.
