I went looking for you at/in McDonald's.

Should it be at or in? Or both are acceptable?

Both are fine, although at is slightly more vague than in, as it suggests the general area of McDonald's, while in suggests the complete interior of McDonald's, so one might feel in is better, especially if the person you're looking for is eating/waiting inside McDonald's
