Not impressed with the customer service here as of late. Every time I come through the drive thru, you can barely hear the gal on the intercom and when when you go to pay they practically throw the money at you. When you pull up to the next window you aren't greeted by a smile but more of "here's your food, now leave" there hasn't been any customer service every time I go there and since when is it professional to wear fake nails and hair without nets in a fast food joint?? I know it seems silly but I wouldn't want to find an acrylic nail in my cheese burger‍‍ read more

As much as McDonald's charges you would think they could get an order right. I just spent 23.00 on breakfast and they forgot the hash browns, again. Why don't they double check the orders before handing it to the customer. This has happened multiple times. I've learned my lesson and won't go back. They suck ! read more

I will say, I am not a huge fan of McDonald's but stopped here on my way home. I sat down to eat my hash browns and my kid's meal. I'm not going to lie I was surprised when one of the guests sprayed "liquid ass" aerosol spray at one of the other guest's face in which the other guest exclaimed, "lord have mercy it smells like a skunk crawled into a sewer and died!" It did in fact smell like a rotting creature but was nevertheless grateful for the free entertainment. read more

I made an order on the McDonalds App and made *payment*. But when I went to Atascadero McDonalds, the lady there said I had to wait for order to show up. The suggestion was to walk around the store. Finally, after about 10 minutes, I received the "We see your here" message on the app. After waiting for awhile in line, the lady said she doesn't see anything on the console and that I had to wait. 10 more minutes later... Said she can't do anything about order since it wasn't showing up on the console. I ended up having to leave with no order and a charge on my Credit Card. The app was obviously having issues, but the Atascadero McDonald's handled the situation poorly. read more

Worst joint, staff had no care in the world, got the order wrong and didn't care mishandled the food, especially watching the cooks make the food and how it was handled seemed very concerning. Tried the food and was right about how bad it was. Stay away from this McDonald's read more

Woohoo!! My 100th review. Sorry it had to be a losing review, McDonald's. I have had many problems with this location getting my order correct. I always order my burgers plain, it just comes out of my mouth automatically when I order. I order a Happy meal cheeseburger (plain) with an extra patty. For some reason this confuses the folks here. The Morro Bay folks don't have any trouble understanding that the extra patty is to go ON the burger!! Both times recently I have had issues with this order at this location. The first time they actually gave me the extra patty in a separate box!! Today they got that part correct but it was not plain. I had to pull over on the side of the road (like I did the last time, too) and scrape all the extra goop off the burger before I drove over 41. The thing that prompted me to write this review tonight is that the younger guy at the pickup window was giving the older guy at the pickup window major disrespect. I had asked if my order went in as Plain, because the order window guy gave me a bad receipt that didn't show if it went in as plain. The younger pickup window guy was practically yelling at the older pickup window guy saying that they got the order correct (meaning they put both patties on the burger). The older guy was trying to explain that he asked because I asked. I asked him again if it was Plain and two patties and he said yes. I think this restaurant is disfunctional and won't go back unless it is to order cheap sodas to go with my Burger King meal!! UPDATE: And, no surprise, I did order a cheap Coke and of course ended up with a Diet Coke!! Won't be back here ever again. read more

It's like the longer the construction has gone on, the worse the customer service gets. I understand they're working in a construction zone which probably sucks, but if you hate your job so much you can't even feign politeness, it's probably time to get a new job. Customer service has been steadily declining but today was terrible. Even though there was no line in the drive-thru it took awhile for someone to take my order. They also really struggled with taking my order and I had to repeat things a few times. I also had the pleasure of hearing their personal conversations over the speaker since she didn't bother to turn off the headset. Food was blah. Pretty typical. We only get it for the kids as a rare treat. But my soda was totally flat and just got dumped when we got home. I feel like maybe they should have just taken a financial hit and closed during construction because the customer service is probably driving away customers who won't be back even when construction is done. I know I'm done. read more

In the past three months we have ordered here 3 times. All 3 orders were missing items or completely wrong. The last two times we were smart enough to check the order before driving away. When it is brought to their attention their reaction is consistent... it's your fault. They act as if your trying to get over on them. There is a lack of customer appreciation here beginning with properly taking an order to ensuring what was ordered is what the customer receives. Disappointing considering things were so different here 10 years or so ago. New ownership? read more

I don't know why establishments change people around. It seems like they fired the entire morning staff and replaced them. The older lady that had been there for at least the last year taking my money was always so nice. The girls at the drive thru window were polite. NOW ITS A JOKE. The person taking the money seems to be ok, but the blonde that hands you your food isn't. I don't think she can deal with fast paced drive thru. She practically throws the food and drinks. My kids hot chocolate was gross last week. Instead of the money to upgrade the outside they need to offer higher pay for better help. read more

It's the staff. I have NEVER seen a more caring staff. I've been here an hour working and I have seen them be helpful to everyone. The homeless included. One employee even bought someone lunch who couldn't afford it. He tried to pay some money and she refused. He tried to tip the young man a dollar who brought it to him. He refused taking it. The man didn't ask for food. They just did it. They new people by name and seemed to really care. Regional staff: if you see this you need to commend them on a job well done. read more

even with construction, and a very busy time, the McDonalds crew on hand killed it. Fast. Polite. Correct.. Nice work, guys. read more

I don't understand why it's so hard to get good help. The last two times I ordered my grandchildren happy meals they've gotten things they haven't ordered. And a couple of weeks ago I ordered an egg mcmuffin but got a sausage mcmuffin, which I hate. All of these were through the drive thru. If I have to sit there and go through everything at the drive thru to make sure they got it right, I would just go in. If I had time to go in, or the willingness to cart a 4 and 5 year old in there, I wouldn't be going through the drive through. People should be proud of doing a good job, not just doing it for the money. read more

After reading the reviews describing the terrible service here on Morro Road, I really think I have dodged a bullet. Coffee has always been great and a good alternative to StarBUCK$$. I haven't had a bad experience yet. Although I do not go here too often, the times I have have been all just fine. I can't speak negatively of the customer service, either. No issues with the young staff here.They all appear to be trying despite all of it. I should add I have ended going here until construction is over. I feel downright reckless patronizing a place that stays open during renovations. So many other choices in town, why bother?? I thought the safari theme that they had going on here was cute and fun! I hope they didn't change that in the name of renovation. read more

Made a mobile order and showed up to pick it up. Kid walks out two minutes later and tells me they're "closed" so unfortunately I can't place an order. I told him it was already placed and that I was there to pick it up and he runs back inside, only to come out a minute later and say sorry, you have to cancel it. So then I asked how to cancel it, he said there should be an option for it in the app. There was none. I searched high and low and the only one thing popped up in regards to refund. You know what it said? Talk to your local store you were picking up from, and they can take care of it. So I called and the girl who picked up said yeah there's a way to do it on your order in the app. Again, there was not. They all seemed very disinterested in helping and got me nowhere. The kicker? Another lady showed up the same time and tried getting her order. She was able to get inside and when she walked out empty handed, I told her what had happened and she informed me that the same thing happened to her a year ago and she got no help from the employees and never got a refund. I'm furious. Do not EVER go to this McDonalds. The employees are trash, don't care about the customer and essentially stole my money. Don't go here. Ever. I hope they get put out of business and close this McDonald's. Absolute garbage. read more

It's McDonalds. I get it. I'm not expecting much. The bar is low. However, basic courtesy and respect is not too much to ask. I have kids, it's by the park. We come here often. More often than not they get the order wrong. Not a huge deal. However, when you try and correct them; they (even the manager) argue with you!! Yeah Lady, I really wanted to turn the car around, come back, leave my kids in the car, come in and ask for apple slices in the happy meal. That was my plot all along. Absolutely, appalled at the customer service as so many have mentioned. This was the last time. My kids will learn to live without happy meals. read more

By the time they served my hot fries, the Big Mac lettuce was warm and the patties cold. Edible. Just. Bathroom out of order. And a 30 minute time limit? How about upping your game to a 5 minute time limit on serving your food? Next time, I'll try one of the many alternatives. read more

I have been there in the past and love to order half chocolate half vanilla milkshakes for my kids. For some strange reason today the manager decided it can only be done for a large milkshake. My kids are not going to drink a large milkshake. This McDonald's changes their minds with the date. read more

I haven't been in awhile, only because I was hoping after the remodel things would have gotten better.... I was wrong. I usually go through the drive thru, and it seems like everyone is trained to take orders without entering them in a register. I use to swing by in the mornings, but after days of repeating myself 4-5 times to get a McMuffin combo and still receiving the wrong sandwich, I stopped going. Tried again today, and unfortunately nothing has changed, I had to repeat myself at least twice and I didn't get everything I ordered. I don't think I will be going back any time soon. read more

Shame on this particular McDonald's for using Styrofoam on it's large drinks. They seem to use it particularly on the tea drinks. More than 80 cities in California have banned Styrofoam. It is estimated that 15 percent of storm drains litter is Styrofoam and it's the 2nd most common for of beach debris. Time for this ownership to step up and be part of the solution than living in the past. Booooo Styrofoam. ..... read more

I was going to go here but the whole front side of the building was lined with homeless and I didn't feel safe bringing my daughter in.

I love going through the drive through to get the dollar menu items. My best buys are the Sausage McMuffin, hash browns or apple pies. I really enjoy them when I'm flying down Hwy 41 around those curbs. There's nothing like a great McMuffin in one hand and the steering wheel on the other cutting curbs at 80mph around the bin. read more

The worst McDonald's I've been to. You ask for no pickles, you get pickles. You ask for extra pickles and you get none. You get held up in the parking spaces while everyone else behind you gets their food. Absolutely terrible and rude employees. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Honestly I went in to buy a couple of drinks today and I was ignored, they would look at me but they wouldn't say anything, wouldn't take my order. After 10 minutes of waiting finally a woman walked up and took my order, I wanted a large shake so I got that, bought it and was off. I had realized I forgot to buy a coffee for my mom so I went back and had to wait 10 minutes again until a new guy took my order. I have a job, I know what its like to be new, its overwhelming and stressful so I was able to bear with him and I was super nice, smiling and all the whole time despite him not being able to figure out my order.. Which was fine. But a woman came over again to the counter and put it in for me so I thanked her and the guy and told them to have a good night, they didn't say anything back.. So I felt kind of hurt as I'm a sensitive person and I had just gotten off of work, I had a rough night as well. I usually order from the drive through from them but I honestly don't think I will anymore after that, I especially will not go in to get something from them again. I swear I'm not usually one to complain about customer service as I'm empathetic and understanding, I'm human. But this one really got me. Please if someone tells you to have a nice day/night say it back, at least acknowledge them it can make the experience so much better. read more

If they're not going to be open 24hrs they shouldn't have that as their posted hours on literally everything online. Thank god for in-n-out having accurate business hours, and amazing customer service. read more

We live locally, and stop here from time to time. Recently the building went through a remodel, and unfortunately it seems the quality of service has as well. On a recent order, the staff was extremely slow in completing my order. They were all chatting in the back, and only after they finished their conversation did they begin to make my order. This was an unnecessary and inconvenient delay at a "fast food" restaurant. In addition, the person taking my order offered no greeting, and no smile. It was a cold and mechanical monetary transaction for them, with no sign of any customer service I've come to really appreciate at places like In-N-Out. Was an unfortunate visit. read more

Yes just another McDonald's BUT this one always makes my food HOT the way I like it. read more

Went here last night for 4 filet o fish that were buy 2 for 6, two large fries, and 2 mcchickens. The employee says pull up to the front parking space while they cook the mcchickens. The cheese on all the filet o fish was turning and drying out. All of those were thrown out. Maybe the fries are good? Nope. COLD. And the mcchickens were just meh. Shit service always at this location. I would rather drive to paso, or anywhere else, to avoid stopping at this establishment. read more

I'm so disappointed they aren't selling quarter pounders for one? Second I paid $19.00 for 2 2cheese burger meals! WTH is up with that. Paid almost 10.00 for 2 dry hamburgers . I will never go back! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. They mess up orders constantly. The last time I was there I went through the drive-through and they had me pull forward to wait for my food which wasn't a big deal. They took over a half-hour and when they came out with food it wasn't even my order. They seemed really confused. I showed the employee my receipt which she took and then later lost. She went back inside and didn't ever come back. I went inside after another 5 minutes and she straight up ignored me and walked to the back so she wouldn't have to deal with me. I told another employee what was going on and finally, they started to make my order. I asked them if they could comp. some of the food or give me a discount since I waited about 40 minutes at this point but they were unwilling to do that. So I asked for a full refund and gave them their food back. I will not be returning to this McDonald's until they can get their stuff together. They mess up almost every order I've placed and most of their employees are not trained well nor do they understand basic customer service. read more

I spent 5 minutes staring at the drive thru speaker before they even acknowledged i was the and was told them be right with me before i excited another 5 minutes before ordering. I was only one of two people at the entire restaurant. Incredibly long wait times at the drive thru, sometimes they dont even acknowledge you read more

Wow! 20$ for a McGriddle(burnt) a bacon biscuit and orange juice (rotten) way over priced. The McGriddle was burnt we didn't even end up eating, the orange juice was rotten and watered down. Asked for ketchup and didn't get any. Great 20$ down the drain. Do better! read more

They got our order wrong. One of the orders was a two cheeseburger meal, the other was a hamburger happy meal. The server read it back to us just as ordered. They took forever getting our order done. So bad that I grabbed the happy meal before the rest of my order was up. Got back to the table and realized it was a cheeseburger. Brought it up and the lady said it was totally her fault, threw out the cheeseburger and gave us a burger. No big deal there. Then we only got one cheeseburger of the two. It was pointed out that the register only put down for one cheeseburger. The person running the register said she didn't know what happened, and we should have gotten two but the screen says one so we only get one. Not very good customer service for a service mess up. read more

my mom went in to buy two deluxe breakfasts and she didn't check the platters till she got home and there was no pancakes or bacon in both of them. pretty sure that was done on purpose too because my mom used to work there and the people wouldn't be fair enough. shows how unprofessional they are. read more

Worst McDonald's ever! Please train your managers and employees. They screwed up my big mac and said they will take my name to replace the sandwich, I came back the next week and they don't have my name for the replacement. This is ridiculous! I trained for McDonald's management in Sacramento at HU and I worked at 4 different restaurants for mcdonalds. They need customer service training and how to properly make a big mac. Quality, consistency, and cleanliness, all are lacking at this particular store. read more

the worst McDonalds ! slow service dirty place food never right. coffee is hit or miss. ask for cream you might get it or not Employees always yelling at each other read more

A lot of McDonald's workers don't look so happy to do their job, but Cesar help me out with everything I needed. Perfect service!

They usually get my food order correct. It sometimes takes a bit long. I like that they ask you what kind of sauce you want at the drive thru speaker. I HATE that they usually don't actually give you the sauce. read more

I went in around 2pm for late lunch. By the way of the food temperature, I assume it was left over from noon! Cold french fries and burgers! chicken nuggets were cold too. I spent a few cents less than $20 bucks and I expected my food to be at least warm. The Orange drink was watered down too! All around it was awful! I haven't eaten here in about 9 months, now I remember why. The service sucks! , young adults just aren't courteous. Won't be back here again. read more

McDonald's - Burgers Near Me - Atascadero, California

Clean facility. Stopped by on our road trip for a bathroom break and breakfast. There was a man inside the woman's restroom, I notified the manager and she seemed concerned and said she would get on it, but proceeded to walk back to the drive thru window? We had to repeat our order several times yet they still got it wrong and we had to get a refund. We walked back to the counter because the SWEET TEA dispenser at the drink area was empty and the young man filled our cup with ICED COFFEE??? The young man and woman at the register honestly had no clue what they were doing. Our food came out well but a man after us had to send his meal back for being cold! It looks like a nice McDonald's but I guess buyer beware? Inconsistent staff and questionable management. read more
