McDonald's Lakeside Reviews
Cant help it...i love their food. Wish they could have lower calories though.
I just want to say that whoever was back there today did an absolute amazing job with the food!! Also, drive thru personnel! You guys are awesome!! 11/17/25 @3pm great job guys!!👏
Great food, fast, outstanding professional customer service always with a smile.
The food was good you have to use the self order machine for fast service but the toilet was broken or they had a sewer problem a few times so it smelled like dookie but McDonald's is !++
The customer service here is wonderful and the employees truly care about their customers. While waiting for my curbside the employee told me I looked like a serial killer. I was aghast, how could I go around looking like a serial killer and no one told me? Thanks guy I hope you get a raise!
They've improved over the years, had some ongoing customer service issues years ago that deterred my ongoing patronage for some time. Staff is very friendly & understanding from crew to management. A decent amount of parking, although drive-thru can be crammed at peak hours.
Very fast, very good, all around great experience.
Mcdonalds. What can be said,thats new,about mcdonalds?other than,to me, foods mediocre at best, a big mac gap of 5 yrs, and you taste one,again,you know its a big mac. Burgers in general and overall, suck more than they can be rated as anything past good. The prices are criminal. Fries are the only ones anywhere that whrn hot, are good.not worth the price at all,but ,good. 30 seconds later they taste like baked cardboard. I dont get it as to why is everything there a joke?why notstrive to be great? Why?. Overall a waste of hard earned money. And they know
For fast food considering this still good , but you need to check the menu and prices before ordering if you concerned about it, they have very good deal on the value meals .
I've been going to McDonald's a lot more recently because they got plenty of cheapish options when you're on a budget. Whether I'm grabbing something in the afternoon, or near their closing time I've never had any issues with this location's food. Not only that, the staff that I run into frequently are always working hard to not only accommodate my orders, but everyone else's too.
This place has closed before midnight which really upset me off one time. Besides that service is a hit-or-miss. Sometimes it's fast and sometimes you have a little bit of a wait. A newly remodeled this location and it looks really nice but the service is still the same. The double drive-thru is very convenient. There are also plenty of parking spaces available now that they've remodeled the building and redid the parking lot. I would like this location more if they were open 24 hours. Actually I recommend that they open 24 hours since they close at midnight and have to open early in the morning anyway.
Night crew is beyond horrible. The heavy set gentleman who is a manager and the other female manager are both rude and have bad attitudes. Heavy set gentleman pointed to a sign after he handed me my food that said we are short staffed when I asked for the napkins for my $40+ order that he did not give me in my drive thru order. The dude was so rude I asked to speak to his boss and along comes the female lady who barely spoke English to back him up in a even more rude'r manner. These Managers they work the night shift have negative unfriendly vibes and it needs to be reviewed on the camera's how these two people that I mentioned are treating the drive thru customers. I specifically avoided this location based off my last three experiences.
Very slow, waited inside for a small to go order for 20 mins. Employees seemed to be oblivious to everyone waiting and openly carrying on unrelated conversations about their person life. Do not recommend spending your money at this location.
I live right around the corner so it’s convenient. But every time I go the fries are soooo cold. It’s been months since the last time I visited this location and it still has the same issue. I asked for sweet & sour sauce and they gave me tangy bbq. When I asked for the correct sauce, the manager (I’m assuming he is-heavy set man) tells me “you’re welcome” aggressively before I can even say thank you! This location has gone downhill for quite some time and they don’t seem to care whatsoever.
You are totally ignored if you go inside. They only care about drive-thru timers.
Open every bag and check or you won't get your money back. I used to go regularly. Shorted me a Big Mac on an mobile order awhile back. that's fine no big deal just get a refund for the one burger. Told the App. They said the restaurant would contact me. guess not. Never paid me back. Stuff costs too much nowadays to play around with money.
Ever since McDonald's moved to kiosks, it completely sucks. But you know, fast food workers are worth $20/hour. Thanks Dems.
I go to mc Donald often the terrible service I received while waiting for my food . One of you managers Wendy was already messing orders up and instead of helping me before the mix up she looked at me and had me waiting for 15 minutes. I finally got help and I see a manager Linda passing me someone else messed up order I say something about it and the manager Wendy gives me the craziest attitude and continued to talk to me very hostile and when I was checking my food she was all in my space and I did not respect that. Wendy was so unprofessional to me the whole experience and she’s a manager I will be reporting this in several different rating apps because I’m a regular customer and a very very simple one . I feel disrespected and to top it off they talked about me in Spanish knowing I would t pick up everything . These two managers are the worst and can’t manage a mc Donald’s . I’ve had a problem before but never to this degree. The location of this McDonald’s is 9614 winter gardens blvd, lakeside CA 92040 Sent from my iPhone
The night crew will not fill your cups all the way by skimming the top off your beverages. This happened 2 other times. There is a heavy set man who I believe is manager is the one pouring low drinks and now sundaes. Customer services tanks at night. Items are handed aggressively and attitude when paying. Morning crew is amazing and we never have problems. Leadership is toxic at night there.
I just ordered for the first time the deluxe chicken sandwhich and wasn't impressed. I just opened the box and the dressing was on the outside of the bun.....smeared everywhere. The tomatoes weren't even on it either but sliding out.....the lettuce was on the outside of the bun again. The chicken....weird texture it was a bit chewy. I don't understand how the employees can serve food by throwing it everywhere to call it a sandwhich. Might as well be on the dollar menu if you're going to treat your food as extremely low class. It's not worth about $5. I keep trying to give this location a chance but it appears to be the same cook and same incompetence to do a basic task. I have had missing items or wrong orders before. I tried to give this location a chance multiple times but I think I am done coming here for sure. It's not worth it, the value or even the composure.
