It took me a year and a half, but I finally ate in one of those redesigned McDonalds.
The food was the same. My Big Mac was good. The fries were solid, albeit over-salted.
The decor? Earth tones, wood, glass, upholstered seats, tile, a little carpet.
No garish colors. No plastic and chrome overload.
And, no Ronald McDonald. Where was Ronald? I need my Ronald. It wasn't a trip to McDonalds without the clown. I want my clown!
Having said that, no one ever chose a fast food restaurant based on the decor. It's the location, and the ability to get decent food, at a reasonable price. Most of all, you have to get me in and out in a hurry.
New look. Same old lack of "fast" in "fast food."
