High quality location! Food was fresh and the dining room felt newly remodeled and vibrant.

We stopped by here on a stressful day for a quick bite on the road. The ordering kiosk was great and the service was totally acceptably fast and friendly. The food was hot and delicious, but unfortunately the modifications on the two cheeseburger where not done correctly (had pickles and ketchup), but I brought them in and they offered to remake them immediately and politely. It wasnt super busy, but it was an understandable error that was fixed properly. Unrelated to the error they were also willing to give a small refill on a fountain drink when I came back in before leaving (they have no customer accessible drinks fountain). All in all it was a standard McDonald's experience with a little bump that was squared away. If you want some McDonald's totally go here.

It's been good experience. I love that is right next to the freeway. Quick out for food and back on the road. Favorite stop.

It’s fine to not leave DoorDash orders on the counter so they don’t get stolen. But they are purposefully hiding the delivery orders so you cannot see that they are ready. They make you stand there in ignorance for 10 minutes while the order is getting cold. When the place finally emptied out I walked up to the counter and asked (I thought the order had probably been stolen). Most McDonald’s don’t do this. This is done purposefully to be mean to couriers. Not nice. 5 stars because I’m a service worker too and I can’t help show some solidarity along with my annoyance.

Solid McDonald’s off the 101. The McNuggets were nice and crispy. The sweet tea with half unsweet was made just ride. I think the prices are a bit less than L.A. County too. No drive thru, but the mobile order service was quick.

The customer service was awesome older gentleman that took our order was very friendly and went above and beyond the burgers were good but the French fries were very salty 🧂 and didn't taste good oil was probably old and needed to changed

HOT & COLD! Although service was fast and good, food was cold👎. We asked for fresh fries and they were warm almost cold. Not very good 😒. Chicken nuggets were also cold and a little stale 😩. BUT, Coffee and strawberry cream pie were hot👍. They have a large seating area that was pretty clean for the most part, bathrooms were ok, can be a little cleaner, tables were clean, trash area was clean, floors, and soda fountain were clean as well. Overall had a good service with bad food🤔. It just goes to show how both food and service go together for the restaurant industry. Even for you McDonald's😒.

They screwed up my order. Got the wrong drink altogether. Argued that I ordered wrong. I pulled up my order on the App and suddenly everyone's all nice. Order corrected and was allowed to take the mistake drink as well. I might go back... I have reviewed 100's of McDonald's most impressive thing about McDonald's is their consistency.

This McDonald's food is atrociously old. They probably reset the throw away timers to avoid bad food cost and because they make too much and don't sell it. Food is really bad. I'd like it to be at least semi fresh rather than dried out and lukewarm. Taco bell across the way is a much better choice.

After stopping in for lunch on a road trip, the rancid taste of dirty oil is still haunting me. How they can serve such poor quality food and still be in business is a mystery to me.

I ordered Door Dash from the mobile app and it never arrived despite it saying it was delivered. I then call the restaurant and nobody answers the call. There’s also ZERO help on the app. So there goes $20 down the drain!

Filthy, disgusting, rude people, cold food, way way way more expensive than other McDonald’s locations. This is the worst McDonald’s I have ever been to.

No drive in and you have to download an app to get food. Everyone who instead waited in line looked miserable.

Melted McFlurry, sitting on the counter for 5-7 minutes, lied and said they were working on it when my family and I saw it sitting there for 5. My grandpa got upset in result they laughed at him and made faces. Other customers were also not pleased with the service they kept getting orders wrong. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE TERRIBLE SERVICE!!

This has to be the worst Mcdonalds I come too. The service is terrible and the workers are extremely rude. Everytime I come I have to wait 15 minutes for my food to be ready and you still get cold food. When I order curbside and wait you go In to find out it is just sitting there.

This McDonald’s was incredibly inconvenient. After a long day of travel, we were exhausted and just wanted something quick and easy. Unfortunately, this location didn’t have a drive-through, which was disappointing in itself. We had to park in the curbside mobile order spots—but with our phones nearly dead from being on the road all day, we were forced to download the app just to place an order. Even then, it was confusing and frustrating to connect the app to this specific location. We finally decided to go inside to order, and that made things worse. The staff member who helped us was shockingly rude—she barely made eye contact and acted like we were an inconvenience. Honestly, the whole experience was stressful and disappointing. If you’re traveling or in a rush, skip this location. You’re better off driving the extra miles to a different McDonald’s that actually has a drive-through and better customer service

I ordered McCrispy Strips, but they gave me 4 chicken nuggets. Check your order before you leave.

Horrible service, they now don’t take the orders at the front desk. All its by the kiosk and they take forever just to prepare a simple meal. A crew of 5 people with bad attitude and working in slow motion it took more than 20 minutes just for a big Mac fries and coke with no ice. Ridiculous service.

Katrina England

Foods alright if u get it at the right time but very few employees even acknowledge guests. And the most frustrating thing is that the manager takes all of her orders off the cue as if they are already prepared so her numbers don't ever reflect how almost all orders are prepared late. Long wait times, only one employee smiles at guests. I wish I knew his name but he is the older(than the average employee at this location) Caucasian male. Super nice guy always smiling.

I lived here for 10 years and brought lots of kids and baseball teams here. This place is ridiculous now. The fact that you can’t order from an human at the register anymore is insane and horrible for business. When you come in with a bunch of kids and want to order quickly, you now have to use their stupid kiosk and it takes for ever. What’s the point of even having these employees just standing around walking you through the complicated kiosk process when they could just take your damn order on the register in a fraction of the time. If this is the future of McDonald’s, it’s going the way of all other business… straight to the gutter. Bring back real employees and take our orders at the register.. it’s literally the least you can do.. 1 Star!
