McDonald’s Atlanta Airport

The McDonald’s at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a classic fast-food haven for travelers, strategically located across various terminal levels, including Concourse A (near Gate A11) and Concourse E (central area). Operating from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, it serves up a familiar menu perfect for those rushing to a flight or craving an affordable bite. However, as with most airport dining, prices here are noticeably steeper than at city locations. A Big Mac, typically priced around $5-$6 elsewhere, can set you back $8-$9, while a combo with fries and a drink easily hits $15-$17. Even a basic small coffee, often just $1 at standard McDonald’s outlets, starts at $2.50 here.

This spot stands out for its speedy service, though reviews suggest that during peak hours—especially mornings—lines can stretch to 20-40 minutes. The interior is straightforward and practical: plastic tables, bright lighting, and a focus on efficiency, with mobile ordering via the McDonald’s app being a time-saving perk. Despite the higher prices, its convenience and reliability keep it a go-to choice for airport crowds.
