"Food was regular McDonald quality, not great not terrible but hits the spot! Also probably one of your better options if your flight is in terminal 1. Service was terrible, the guy was on his phone while I stood there and I had said excuse me to get his attention, while paying he again went back to his phone while I waited with the cash in my hands. He was not rude just very attached to his phone."

"Remember this: The food was expensive compared to the non-airport McDonald's but the staff were quick and accommodating and they should for the airport branches. It's best to order through the app and be prepared for a wait to speed up the process for everyone."

"Fast service. You pay and get a number. Once they call your number you just pick it up. Plenty of space to eat. Prices are higher but this should not come as a surprise to anyone who is at the airport."

"Food was hot and fresh, better to order with the app to skip the line. A saving grace for food before immigration at jfk"
