McDonalds-Can You Dine Inside Restaurant?

BunSnoop · ‎05-22-2010

None of our McDonald's around here (suburb of Chicago) are allowing any dining inside? How about where you live - can you dine inside?

Once in awhile I have a craving for a BigMac and some fries and would like to eat inside. I'm not a big fan of drive-thru or carry out - just curious if none of their restaurants allow inside dining or does it possibly depend on where you live?

@BunSnoop

yes in FL (at least Tampa area) all restaurants have opened to dine-in limited capacity. Only fast food dine in not open Chic Fil A and Steak 'n shake.

We rarely eat out or fast food even before this.

Depends on the rules where you live. Their dining rooms aren't open in New Mexico.

@Kachina624 , all of our restaurants in our area are open, but of course have to follow all the guidelines. That's why it seems kinda strange that all other restaurants have inside dining, why does McDonald's not?

In Colorado, the dining room is open for limited capacity

@BunSnoop I understand MAC Attack early in my youth ...although I have not had MacDonald's food since the 80's. Although for some reason I really like their coffee, I like that you said "dine" at MacDonalds. I don't know if the ones in my area are not "dine" in.

Restaurants are open for inside dining in East TN, but not all of them allow it yet. I'm pretty sure that the McDonald's sign that I frequently drive by says that the dining room is open.

No McDonald's restaurants around here are available for indoor dining.

That's okay with me, though. I enjoy eating in the parking lot!

@BunSnoop I've seen long lines at the drive-throughs here on Long Island, but I have no idea whether there's also dine in. Hard to see that from the road.

A relative of mine owns a restaurant in Chicago. Last I heard they had not opened for anything but take-out because the costs to set up inside with the requirements couldn't be recovered with the low capacity they were permitted. That report is a few weeks old though, and I don't know if the requirements have changed since.

In Arizona our restaurants are open for dining inside including fast food places. We never did the dining outside route because no one in their right mind would eat outside when it's 110 plus.
