McDonald’s – Columbus (University District)

Our first Cardwell Family Restaurant opened right here in Columbus — and it’s been part of the neighborhood ever since. Conveniently located near The Ohio State University, we’re proud to serve everyone from early-morning commuters to late-night study groups.

Stop by for a fresh cup of McCafé coffee, grab lunch on the go, or relax in our dining area that’s been a local favorite for nearly five decades.

Community Involvement
