This McDonalds is very conveniently located off the 101 (though a little hard to see if you're heading Southbound). I stop here to grab breakfast if I'm in the area, or to use their restroom if I'm on a long drive home. The staff are respectable and polite and the food is typical McDonalds grub. The location is generally clean and well maintained. read more

Came here for an Egg McMuffin to eat on the road. I got a mouthful of egg shells. Luckily I didn't swallow. I do not recommend this location. read more

0 stars, worst McDonald's I've ever been to. Every single table & seat had crumbs, leftover food & sauce stains. I had to clean a table & chairs myself while the 8 women behind the counter watched. Literally 8 women working back there at once who were wasting time talking & every time a customer walked up to the counter to order, the employees seemed bothered. The bathroom had no toilet tissue in the stalls so i walked out & didn't bother. This location also doesn't have a drive thru so keep that in mind. This location is off of the freeway for those who are traveling which means everyone now has to get off their car. The convenience isn't there. On top of that, my order was done by mobile & they brought me my cup & told me where to fill it up. Worst McDonald's I've been to. read more

No changing table in the bathroom. McDonalds are supposed to be family friendly places why wouldn't you have a changing table in the bathrooms. read more

I ordered two chicken nugget meals and didn't receive the fries for either one. we did go back and they gave us the fries but were rude about it. They also forgot to give us our cups and just overall not the most pleasant experience I've had here. read more

When we made it inside, the lady that is "manager" told me and my husband to use the monitor to order... we took longer to try to put I my order... a man came in and walked to the register to place his order... when we finished placing the order the man had already received his order.. tell me how that makes sense? read more

Unfriendly woman at the counter who is obviously unhappy that she's got to work tonight. I can't say I blame her but if you have to work at 10 pm at McDonalds you might as well try to make the best of it. Hard to find a clean table to sit at too. read more

This place used to be a lot better. Most recent visit they really messed up our milk shake/ McFlurry order.... I mean there's only so many options...like 3.. we did a Mobile order for 4 shakes and McFlurrys and they were messed up. I didn't see Jeff the night manager there. Typically when he's there everything runs smoother and everything is correct in our order. This is our go to place for late night milk shakes. Maybe Jeff was off that night idk but now I know to check first if he's working then I know my order will be on point and on time. Maybe next time McDEES! read more

Couldn't order a quarter pounder because they "would have to make it fresh" and "it would take too long" during a late night traffic rush.

Bacon on my bacon quarter pounder please , every-time but its my fault for not checking, so im to blame, just inform the crew since Karen's are out and about, also no sauce on a dry burger would be noice one again my fault but would be nice for a first. read more

This is the slowest McDonald's and like has the slowest workers and they always have excuse like oh we r doing system update so u can't buy food. Then why are u open 24/7 that's not true read more

Super friendly locals. Fast and friendly service. Best mickey D's in the 5 cities area.

Very nice McDonald's, Alexis was very helpful asking if there's anything we needed! He was super nice and helpful! Thank you Alexis!

I hope they close this McDonald's down. I came just a second ago (2:30 am) and this worker let several people in the store to get some coffee, my husband and I tried opening the door but it was locked. Instead, the costumer who just got their coffee opened the door for us and as we were about to walk inside to order, the worker came to close the door and told us they were closed when they clearly had other people still eating and we saw those people walked in 10 minutes before we decided to walk in. He was rude and not kind to us and this store was supposed to be open 24 hours. Never coming back to that one store again. I regret wasting my gas just to get there. Should've looked at the other yelp reviews before we got here.... too bad there isn't a zero star Lol read more

I am also giving this McD's two stars because there is no drive through. I'm sorry but the point of being a McD's is to have a drive through so lazy people like me don't have to get out of our car. read more

Made a quick pit stop here while traveling... the large trees in the parking lot and the beautiful view of the mountain range was a wonderful surprise. The next surprise was how friendly & helpful Marcos (the young man at the register) was. I have had teenagers help me before who let it be known they did but want to be at work..I mean who does. Anyhow, Marcos greeted us warmly and made my day with his great attitude. The food was fresh & tasty. The dining area immaculate. The only ding was the ladies restroom-a much needed cleaning was overdue-BUT-as soon as I got ready to leave, a worker stepped into tackle the mess. read more

Open 24/7 huh? Not! Stop in on our way home from LA to stretch, use the bathroom, an grab a bite to eat at 1:15am to stay awake. I walk in, no one is in the kitchen. No one is behind the counter. Some of the lights were off In the kitchen. A guy comes out from the back and says, "oh we will be with you in like 10 mins. 10 to 15 mins. About that time frame." Bro, I'm not tryin to sit here for 15 min before I order my food. Then what, I guarantee you weren't going to make fresh fries. I would have gotten the cold fries that weren't even sitting under a heat lamp because it was also off! read more

We ordered ice cream and McFlurrys and the ice cream was like ice milk! Quality is going down, down, down!

Moved here 7 months ago and every week the milk shake machine not working under maintenance? I lived in Sherman Oaks, CA for 20 years and not once did my local McDonald's shake machine down. Now I just go to Carl's Jr or The Spot for my shake. read more

The staff was very nice, I have to say. The place was dirty, dirty. Food on the floor, the seats, everywhere. Ketchup containers and straw containers were empty. Clods of dirt on the floor at the entrance. Managers need to do a better job! read more

1) There is no drive through here. 2) The service was slow and bad. 3) It is a pain to get in and out of because of its proximity to the freeway, stop signs, and bad traffic in general. And it only has the one driveway. Skip it. Go further in either direction on the freeway to get to another McDonald's, especially if you're going to a quick bite. It's not to be had here. read more

Unfortunately this place doesn't know the definition of good customer service. Horrible service everytime I come here. There is one young guy maybe a high school senior or college freshman that always takes my order and gets it wrong all the time. I always make sure to speak super clearly and slowly when ordering and once I asked him to repeat my order he did and he repeated it correctly expect for maybe 1 minor error and then when I receive my order they mess up even more! read more

Always always always busy, leg stretch, piss break, then the drive to morro bay. Lines 4 to 5 deep, moves pretty fast, the toilets are way past the lines to the left to the left... at the back of the store... it's ok, its mcdonalds read more

Completely incapable of reading mobile orders. You would think this process would be easier for employees, but they still can't get it right. Oh, and good luck trying to contact anyone to get refunded for items you paid for, and were never placed in your bag. read more

Let me start by saying I love the Golden Arches. Yesterday though was one of the worst experiences at this location. I saw one of the workers with dyed blonde hair with a braid in eating toppings/food as she was putting the burgers into the warmer. I was so disgusted. Then one of their male workers near the fries kept making unprofessional comments one of them being "right now would be a perfect time to turn off the lights" as about 15 guests were in the ordering area. I understand it's fast food and most of the people who work in this industry are young and only doing it temporarily (or so they think) but they really should not be able to continue working here if this is how they are going to act. read more

I love this mcdonald's. came here once at like 1 am, guy working was nice and I watched him make me fresh fries. i usually come here on my lunch breaks I always order on the app because there's usually a good deal or two, plus you can skip the lines and not talk to anyone. there's no drive through, do curbside pickup if you don't feel like getting out of your car. all the employees here are so friendly always. read more

Somehow order got lost in the shuffle. 4 orders served before they got to ours on the one day we needed to be somewhere on time. REALLY McDonald's, you don't think the public notices your egg McMuffin is half the size it used to be?? read more

I sincerely hate McDonald's with a passion. But Claudia completely changed my perception on my opinion besides the no-drive through access making it difficult. The service here is great. read more

I asked for the manager to let him know that his cashier needed some change they were handing out pennies instead of being understanding he was agitated aggressive and extremely rude even used foul language as a business owner I would be embarrassed to have that person operating my franchise. Previous reviews one other within the last month also complains of the customer service The franchisee should pay attention to the trend read more

No soap in the restroom and nobody would refill it when I asked. Obviously unacceptable for any restaurant.

Hey everyone hating on Carpinteria: Get over it! We are a quaint beach community and we do not have drive thrus, practically no drive thrus throughout Santa Barbara County. I actually like it because it forces you to engage with small business to eat as well as forces you not to be a lazy fat ass and order take out fast food all the time. Even the carl's jr. in carp is walk in only. It is fine people, walking in to a 24 hr clean as hell Mcdonalds and you still are griping? This Mcdonalds is right off the freeway, across the street is a cheap gas station as well as lots of banks, starbucks, huge cvs and albertsons. This mcdonalds is always clean, fast, and friendly. I love going there on a walk and grabbing a snack size Mcflurry. I have never waited longer than 5 minutes for my order. If you go further south about 15 minutes you will hit Ventura and there you will find a myriad of drive thru lazy fast foods. Enjoy! read more

I can't help but review any of the cheap fast food establishments as only one or two stars - but this location is convenient and usually has fast service as well as friendly (although not very organized) staff :) read more

Worst McDonald's I've ever been too! It was late at night and nothing in Carp is open after 10 o'clock so I decided to give good ol mickey d's a shot. They are right next to the freeway and there's no drive thru! The customer service is poor and the place doesn't look like it is sanitized and needs the health board to pay a visit. So sad and is a poor reflection of all McDonalds. read more

Worst McDonald's I've ever been to, half my order was wrong, service was poor, only one register was open at lunch time, I was in a rush so it was only until I made it back to my workplace that I realized they never gave me napkins nor a straw for my iced coffee, fries were old and the patty was overcooked read more

We stopped here on Thanksgiving day while on our way to San Diego. I went into the bathroom first before ordering.As I was washing my hands, an employee came in and used the toilet. He peed, zipped up and walk back out the door. When I came out immediately behind him, he went right into the food service area and started doing something with the trays. Needless to say, we I told the rest of our group, we all left without ordering , never to return. read more

Come on, everyone secrelty love mcD's. I love the mcdouble and the new chicken sandwiches. I am also addicted to the ice coffee. However all the MCd's in this area are slow and packed with people. This one has a drive through read more

Wow - best McDonalds ever! Surprising. Never thought I'd be using those words in the same sentence. Bathrooms - clean and plentiful. Help - cheerful and assistive. Food - quick and tasty. In short, everything you used to expect from a fast food restaurant, but can't seem to find anymore. Actually, the counter guy was a little quirky - told us all about his plan to develop organic whiskey. How often have you had an interesting conversation with a fast food server? read more

Good clean area and prompt service. I was pleased with the food. Warm food, table was not sticky and plenty of places to sit. Bathroom smelt fresh and well kept which is a big plus. read more

The worst food and McDonalds I've ever been too!No Coke Zero sold..French fries were ice cold and so was chicken nuggets. My friend went to get a water and got some sort of dirty yellow liquid. The bathrooms were not clean. Ordered a child's burger without opinions Togo which took over 26 minutes. I've never had such a bad experience at a nationwide restaurant. Would ever go back! read more
