Critic's Review

In the case that you have your head buried deep, deep in the sand at Fort Lauderdale Beach, the breaking news is that McDonald's is now serving breakfast all day. The quirky policy made famous by Adam Sandler in Big Daddy where for 35 years they inexplicably stopped serving breakfast items at 10:30 is over. I decided to take advantage.

The experience started badly with some dude in the parking lot asking me for a quarter. "Do you have a Quarter?". "No, I don't have a Quarter".

I order an Egg McMuffin and a small coffee. No hash browns for me. McDonald's has modernized over the years. They now have a monitor displaying the numbers of orders that are ready. So you have a receipt with a big number on it, and you can see your number come up as they put the orders out.

Line At McDonalds

The coffee came out first; I really expected the 2 items to come out together. It gave me a chance to hit the cream and sugar machine, located in the "Refresh" area.

It took longer than expected to microwave an egg. I took a seat in the back. The element here is disturbing. There were a bunch of people who appeared to be vagrants permanently installed in the restaurant. A guy reading a newspaper that looked like he might have been here all night. Another group just drinking coffee that included the guy who asked for the quarter. Even the "regular" customers weren't too high end.

Finally my number came up. I hadn't had an Egg McMuffin in 25 years. Maybe longer. Deli egg sandwiches were cheaper and better, so I never did the McDonald's thing on Long Island. This was pretty sad.

McDonald's Breakfast at 2pm

One thing about McDonald's is that their coffee is very good. Better than Starbucks. Better than Dunkin. When I'm in the mood for a latte, I get it at McDonald's. It's like $2.

The sandwich was unmemorable. Hardly worth the wait. At 7am there's a certain "thing" about breakfast. Breakfast at 2pm needs to be better than this.

Egg McMuffin

I think they changed from American to Cheddar cheese at some point. This seemed different. Of course I used to drink Dunkin Donut's coffee every morning and now I think it's terrible. Tastes change.

So there we have it. Last time here for a long, long time.

Conclusion

There's been months of speculation about the All Day Breakfast ,and now it's here. Case Closed.

Did you really just do a review of McDonalds? (rhetorical, sarcastic question)
I think you spent more time focused on the people who just happened to be there than on the actual food.
What would you like the restaurant to do? Pre-screen everyone before they come in?
