Well, so much for making it to Vegas without stopping. Some of my crew needed to stop and use the restroom and I gotta say, I do too, with that Starbucks coffee I'm using to keep awake. Lucky this McDonald's is open 24 hrs, cause of all the traffic this place sees. Barstow Station is kinda of a weird place, more of a tourist place, than just a place to get food and get going. They have all these old train cars set of for indoor dining. We all find the restrooms is the main thing. Well, who can actually stop at a McDonald's and not get some French fries! None of us need a real meal, just a couple of more hours and we'll be in Vegas and have a hotel and get some sleep for our work ahead of us. So, it's orders of fries all around. That's gonna smell good inside the Suburban! I ordered on one of those kiosk thingies and our food was out on no time ... the fries are already cooked I assume! We outta here and back on the road. read more

Every time to come to Vegas we stop by and grab a bite at this Mc Donald's -it's a tradition to be honest. This time it was dirty and service was bad - the food took forever and no refills on sodas.! read more

Trash. I usually leave detailed reviews but this place was trash at every level and may have unlocked a new one. Waited forever, crap service and food was intensely horrible. I wanted to create a scene but this is just a McDonalds. read more

McDonald's - lol - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Barstow, California

Stopped by on the way to Vegas. Can't say much other than it's a typical franchise. Weird how they don't have deals like a regular franchise. read more

Crazy long lines today. Probably because people are traveling for Thanksgiving. Service was still decent and everyone was calm. Luckily we ordered on the app and did a counter pickup so didn't wait too long. However my nuggets and MC chicken weren't hot and was lukewarm. I was hungry and didn't go back to tell the staff. What's interesting about this place is that it's a train station theme with old train cars acting as dining rooms. Pretty cool concept! read more

McDonald's - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Barstow, California

Can there be a more neglected McDs?!? There's six kiosks, and two cashiers, but only one is manned. The kiosks are always out of paper - yet no one cares?! I had to recite my order number to the pickup person - what stops someone from taking my order? Per the new mega-greedy douche move by corporate McD, they have ripped out the self-service drinks and don't even do refills. This is not fine dining - $3.50 for a small soda without refills shows a remarkable lack of understanding of your customers. This place only survives because A) it is on the way to/from Vegas B) shares its location with a Greyhound bus station. The novelty of re-purposing two old subway or train cars as dining areas wears off quickly once you experience their so-called "service" and see their prices. read more

Disappointed this train themed McDonalds was closed even though their posted hours online were 24hours. We were excited to stop by at night on our drive through Route 66 but they had just locked the doors at 10. Apparently many people had checked their hours on Google b/c there were 3 other people trying to get in too. So my rating is not on the food or service but on the location not being up to date. Very bummed. It definitely looks like a cool themed McDonalds through the window...wish they were open later. read more

The food is pretty good here. It took about 10 minutes to get our order. But we were at the end of breakfast time almost 11 o'clock. They got our order right the coffee was good and we're on our way. There was lots of great seating in here. The ambience is clean. read more

This is such a unique McDonald's off the freeway, connected to the Barstow Station. It's basically in a train car (which means it also gets pretty hot and stuffy during the summer months). This location was hopping with people...so busy! They offer the ability to order via self-service kiosks, but I did notice that many of them were not working. Sometimes automation isn't always better. They have bathrooms, but you need a code and the staff were so busy, so we used the ones at the Barstow Station while waiting for our food. Despite the amount of people waiting, we thankfully didn't have to wait for our food too long, because they were very efficient. They also serve the drive thru as well. My fries were sadly soggy and the Coke wasn't too crisp, but it may just have been that day. Typically you know what you're expecting when dining with fast food. read more

Wow. Driven by so many times but never stopped until Dec 2025. Interesting set up. It seems to be like a train. The McDonalds is inside a larger shopping area. There was a boba place, some other food places, and souveneirs. The McDonalds had numerous kiosks to self order, but most of the people did not know how to use them, causing a backup. The restroom was ok, not dirty, but like the rest of the place kind of dingy and in need of a makeover. The food came out relatively quickly, and same old consistent food. They have a rewards program you can sign up for too. I didn't get any photos. read more

So overall, I saw a lot of low reviews for this mcdonald's here but it is a stop along the way to las vegas.And it's pretty interesting having the train design and everything like that.But some of the things that people complained about was how it's fully digital.You can't order at the counter. Poor customer service and the restrooms not working and the tables are dirty.You know, it's like recently up until like, maybe four months ago order reviews that I read.But being here, I see the opposite, I needed access to the bathroom, got friendly service gave me the code.No, issues.The bathroom is clean and working as I walked through like the seating area.All of the tables look pretty clean to me.And yes, there's a little bit of a wait, but there's tons of people here.I mean, what'd you expect how you do?How did you really complain about that?I mean, you don't honestly give a little rating for that reason.But yeah, I mean, so what you can't order at the counter.Look at the day and age., now anyway, it is a really interesting spot. I saw other food court areas inside gift shop areas.Nice place to just, you know if you, I guess.If you're local, just to hang out here for the day too.You know, so I found it really interesting and I really loved it read more

We have always made a rest stop on our way to Vegas at the McDonald's on East Main St. in Barstow. That tradition may come to end as I was really disappointed this time. They switched to fully digital ordering to reduce the # people at the counter. One drawback for me is you can't order senior coffee using the kiosk. I was a little concerned when my order disappeared from the 'In Progress's queue but it didn't show up under the 'Now Serving' column. A few minutes later I felt better when they called my number. The place felt dilapidated. Men's room was closed. Seats are not that comfortable. By the way, they now charge for extra condiments. read more

It is a very busy McDonald's. Only able to order by the app or on the touchscreen. There is plenty of seating as it's a popular spot to have a break to and from Vegas. The food is normal; regular McDonald food. During busy times the food should be checked before leaving. I have had mistakes but it's easily corrected. read more

It's a McDonald's so I don't have high expectations at all. It's like every standard one I've been to before. It's really busy and pretty dirty. Tables aren't wiped up and trash is left on tables/everywhere. Our order was given pretty quickly but prices for food from here is getting pretty ridiculous for the quality of food you get. Service is alright but when we were here, it was obvious people working here did not want to be here. Food was alright. My husband got chicken nuggets and a burger. They didn't mess up the burger which was good. We also liked that it's set up like a train station so we sat inside the train which was cool. But other than that, it was an okay experience. Wouldn't really make an effort to go back. read more

They dont have the value meal that was advertised, they dont take your points, and they dont let you use your reward. Anddddd they still forgot to include sauce for the nuggets. Did i mention rude service??? read more

On our way to Las Vegas during Thanksgiving week, we stopped at the McDonald's inside Barstow Station for a quick lunch. It was crowded with many travelers, but there were plenty of seats. The Double Cheeseburger was smaller than expected and didn't feel like a true double. Overall, a convenient rest area for a quick stop. read more

Be prepared for long lines to order via kiosk and long lines to get your food. I do feel for this restaurant employees as this location is popular as a stop and gets crazy busy. The day I am writing this review I waited over 25 minutes for nuggets. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else save your sanity. read more

I understand that the workers are supposed to follow their rules regardless of how stupid they may be... but not giving us more than 2 water cups when we bought food is fucking insane. If you don't care about that and also don't mind the workers being rude, then go right ahead I guess. (Also there's human diarrhea in the parking lot) I know because the girl I'm dating stepped in it... barefoot) but a 3rd water cup so we could each drink one and also clean her foot? Nah. So yeah, fuck this place read more

What's happening at McDonald's on Main Street in Barstow!! I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches from the kiosk, hash browns and 2 drinks. When I received the order there was 1 jelly for 2 sandwiches, I asked for another jelly and I was told 1 jelly per order, don't matter how many sandwiches you order. W H A T! Don't order for your family, make several orders..PLEASE HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF THIS SERVICE OR LACK OF SERVICE!!!This is my last visit to McDonald's on mainstreet in Barstow. read more

Great customer service, they were efficient and quickly, stopped during my greyhound to Las Vegas and they had the best tasting coke! I'd recommend it. read more

Please don't waste your time stopping here . Very rude customer service and can't even get a refill on a fountain drink. They refused to take our order at the register and said we can only order at the kiosk. If I could give 0 stars I would read more

I'm giving them 5 stars only because this is the only McDonald's I've been to multiple times (as opposed to one-offs like on a road trip) who hasn't screwed up my order. Not once. I don't know if doing the bare minimum of getting an order right deserves 5 stars, but that's what I'm giving them. read more

Great atmosphere with old-fashioned train vibes, the food like regular McDonalds, but the service... They didn't put any souses in our order, they didn't customised our food. And I have to wait like 15 minutes for my souses and napkins, when they just standing and talk to each other.. read more

22 min wait for food despite MANY employees being there. Big crowd waiting for food and we were largely ignored. About 13 bags lined up on back counter and an order coming out every 4 minutes. read more

The food was typical McDonalds. This is the busiest, slowest, and dirtiest McDonald's I've ever been to. Almost every trash can was overflowing with a mountain of trash. We thought it would be fun to see it since it's in the Barstow Station Trains. I'm glad we've seen it and never have to stop there again. ICK! read more

Service Sucked. Workers and MANAGER were rude. Atmosphere is ALWAYS scetchy. They NEVER acknowledge their costumers even when they are right at the counter. I understand the drive through is busy but, acknowledgement is important. read more

Quick drive thru. Hot fries and sandwiches. Chill customer service. I think tax was slightly cheaper here.

Haven't been to this place is a while, and now I remember why. Just as some of the other reviews stated, this place needs improvement. The interior is super dated and definitely has seen better days. You can tell the interior of the McDonald's trains have been updated, but for the rest of the building and restrooms, not so much. FYI: Many tourist/travel busses stop here, so be ready for long lines. When you enter the building, its a combination of several stores and gift shops. There's a Subway, Panda Express, a pretzel place, and others. I don't get the awkward seating for just two people with a large partition wall next to you (see photos). The only available area with bigger tables were closed! When traveling through Bartsow, I recommend going to the McDonald's on Lenwood, not this one. read more

Worst McDonald ever. If you have time waiting 30 plus minutes for your order of two shakes, go ahead

Very inefficiently run location. I have been here a few times over the years and find that they keep adding technology to speed things up, but it doesn't seem to be effective. The tables were dirty, and the customer service was very lacking. They food was good and what you'd expect from McDonald's as a brand. read more

When do they start charging for fkn jelly that's stupid you are buying food and it does not come with any fk CA.Barstow is slum

We always stop by here on the way to Vegas. The food was good, service with a smile, and it all tasted like we expected. I think it's cute because it looks like an old train station with the box cars. I think I even got a souvenir smashed penny nearby. read more

if i could give a zero rating i would im disappointed in this mcdonalds ... we were in the drive thru we ordered 2 happy meals a mcchicken and a large french fry , and when i say there was no cars in the drive thru there was none we were the only ones up until we got to the second window they told we had to park , there was already a truck parked waiting for their food also they were parked wrong where i couldnt even park there just cause of the way the truck was parked , i was patiently waiting when the maintenance guy told me if could move already cause he was watering the lot and i had to move , the girl came out with my order i had bought some sauce a buffalo and ranch she gave me my order the happy meals didnt have no sauce and then the sauce i had purchased there was nothing either , ( should of checked the happy meals when i was there but i didnt ) we got home my toddler was excited for her happy meal because of the toy they always get , to our surprise there was no toy in the happy meals plus no sauce they took long to give us our order its ridiculous , if i could work there and show them good customer service i would im not going back anytime soon and before i forget i ordered a large french fry and it seemed like i had ordered a small it wasnt even filled all the way read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! Ordered a Carmel macchiato and it took over 15 minutes to get it then when I received it it tasted awful Went to ask for a different one the guy looked at me like I was stupid. He's like yeah it's a caramel macchiato and I said yeah, but it doesn't taste like one. Can I have one remade he argued with me for about two seconds to tell me that he needed to see the receipt that I bought it, he literally just handed it to me not even three minutes before that. I told him you just gave it to me then he said I asked my manager he went and asked this lady she told him to remake it. I literally waited another 15 minutes I even had to tell her something, every person working there looked miserable not a hello not a high people picking up their orders or just handing it to them pushing it towards them absolutely horrible customer service I finally get my drink and it's even worse than the first one how hard is it to make a caramel macchiato? It's not like your back there, making it from scratch absolutely ridiculous so after 3 being completely horrible I just left The place is absolutely disgusting dirty unorganized read more

This McDonald's is one of the worst. Rude staff, no refills, impossible to get service, out of service kiosks. Zero stars.

Fast and cashier very engaged. We went drive- Thru and the service was excellent. Good customer service read more

Cute location with the train boxcars that you can sit in while dining in. Like many others, we stopped in Barstow on our drive back from Las Vegas and hit up McDonald's. We weren't really looking for a drive-thru option because we all needed to get out of the car for some fresh air and stretch our legs. This location was a little different with it connected to a couple of fast food mini restaurants and some small shops selling very kitschy California / American items. Cute idea and location, but I felt that the entire location needs to be renovated. The restaurant and shop areas felt dark and dingy, not bright and welcoming as other California McDonald's that I've been to. Also, the bathrooms needs to be enlarged and spruced up due to the amount of people constantly pushing their way in and out of them, who didn't get the codes for them like we did with our cashier. read more

Wow just wow, no assistance with using the kiosk. Spent 50 on food, which was not the problem I was perfectly okay with that but the fact that I went up to an employee and ask for napkins he told me you have to order from the kiosk I said I would have to order napkins his reply was no you have to place an order to get napkins. I informed him that I did place an order and would like some napkins he then asked for my receipt wow I honestly just couldn't believe it over napkins not to include there were older people trying to use the kiosk and we're asking for help they were given no assistance there were people from different countries asking for assistance and were given none you have to be kidding me. read more
