McDonald's: St. Paul

A Periodic Look at life in the Fast Food Lane

MC DONALD'S: St. Paul, University Ave.
Today I dined at McDonald's for the third time in this series, but the difference in this experience was it was dining in. I was in St. Paul at Central High School for the State Badminton tournament. After the quarterfinals I didn't want to face the traffic on 94 westbound, so I traveled down University. My rule of the right side was followed as I passed up at least four fast food restaurants on the left side of the road including a McDonald's in the Midway area.
Today I ordered off the dollar menu. This was the lowest cost meal so far by over $1.50.

The decor was diner themed with Coke advertised on some of the tables and classic cruising cars. The restaurant was fairly clean, but I did avoid a couple of tables that looked unclean/unwiped. I selected a booth.
