Very good. Nothing beats a good old mc Donalds. Cheap, good, and not great for your health. If that's what you want, then go. here, I recommend before flights, when your in a rush, or just when you want to remember how good bic Macs are. If you can't decide where to go, just go here. Nothing tastes bad here. One of the best fast-food places

I've been to this location a few times and have always had a good experience. This weekend was my first time back after the renovation and overall, it's quite nice. The dining room area got a refresh, pretty standard but nice and new. There are also new accessible washrooms by the parking lot entrance doors which I don't believe were there prior to the renovation - definitely an upgrade. We ordered through the kiosk and had them bring the order to our table - everything was fresh, looked and tasted great!

Aliza and her staff are amazing! The staff in this McDonalds really go the extra mile. Every time we come here the staff are always so nice and courteous and just make the experience amazing. This is our go to McDonalds because my daughter loves it. It was her birthday today (we are pretty new to Victoria) and she wanted to go to McDonalds. The staff found out and did a special surprise birthday song and ice cream and desserts and candles and everything. They didn't have to do this. But it really shows how amazing the staff at this location really are. Wow Just amazing! Thank you folks, you really made my daughter happy!
