I never sit inside any McDonald's. But we're waiting for someone and need to kill time . It's very clean and my order came out perfect and the service was excellent. I'm at the Goleta location, my number was 264. This guy in the front at the register has excellent customer service. My app was acting up and he figured out how to help us. THANK YOU :) read more

The food came out good and warm. The fries were crispy and hot and the ice cream machine actually works

McDonald's - McChicken French Fries "extra" mayonnaise and no nuggets - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

Solid food, good food, friendly staff. I don't understand why the low reviews. Yall be hating on hardworking people for no reason

No sauce, terrible nuggets that's super rubbery, there were no utensils at all for the McFlurry

Place is constantly overwhelmed and understaffed. They ignore you when you stand there to ask if the order is ready or to get anything like napkins or sauce. Good luck if you want to order with a human. The food is prepared faster than they can (or choose to) bag it, so it just sits there getting cold. read more

Wish I could give this place zero stars rudest people ever I asked some dude for a water cause you can't order a water cup on the screen and he fucking ignored me so I asked him again and he looked at me like I was crazy and said I'm getting you your water then proceeded to tell my friends that they should listen more carefully for their order even though they don't know how to call out an order like just put the fries in the bag read more

I actually had to work here on installing, but the food is always good no matter what McDonald's you visit, they have a system and to watch these employees work is amazing. They do need a bigger employee rest area if they have to break in the back. I did enjoy the historic items displayed in the front and I'm happy to have been able to do business with Herb Peterson back in the day, never got to meet him in person but was able to do business with him over the phone. read more

This place is the worst. You try to order from delivery services and every time it goes wrong. Just don't, they are terrible.

Super good, healthy, tasty food best restaurant there is, and it's low calorie no health defects

Searched Google for McDonalds. "Location is one mile away but has only a 2.5 Yelp rating." How can that be? Found out. Oct 12, stopped at 8:00 pm and ordered thru website. Burgers and coke. Excruciating long wait. Finally delivered on single flat plate. Half of food? Fell off plate. Already forty miles away. Called "night manager" and he referred me to day manager. No recourse. No I am sorry. Then, the hang up. 2.5 makes sense now. Avoid this one. read more

Prepare to have your food stolen cause the staff doesn't give a shit. Seriously, ordered online and wasted 15min waiting only for them to stumble about like idiots trying to make the order again. Ridiculous read more

Had to sneeze really bad. They removed paper towels from restroom and hide all the napkins behind the counter now. Tried to wait in line to ask for napkins but I couldn't get anybody's attention because the employees ignore the front counter. Ended up sneezing into my hands and all over myself. Is this McDonald's really hurting so badly that they need to keep the napkins behind the counter? How many pennies can you possibly pinch. Place is busy from morning til night 7 days a week. Can't stand this corporate greed bs. TF kinda service is that? People come there to give you lots of money. Have the damn napkins available for them. Bad business read more

It's a McDonald's without a drive thru. Weird. But that's Goleta. I only order fish filet without cheese and no tartar sauce. But no matter what it always comes with cheese. They always look so confused when I show them the receipt. Other than that the place is always very clean. It's nice but always a ton of college kids UCSB there. read more

4 star bc the cup matched my nails but the shake wasn't mixed all the way, and I will say I liked the vanilla parts better. Also When we walked in and were waiting for our order, one of the workers was holding an ice cream cone for a while and no one was picking it up. And so he just handed it to one of his coworkers and it was so funny. It made the experience much better. read more

Another place I frequent when in SB area.....and about time I comment. Happy that my order looks like the picture , tastes as expected. Thats joy in it self. Then clean spot to munch.... What I find nice is that both the English and Spanish used here are inclusive. What do I mean? Some of the Spanish speaking staff switched their conversation to English in such a way that it felt like care and consideration for me rather than because they had to or because of any other reason. I appreciate the kind courtesy. Not necessary but a nice touch. I doubt they could always switch back and forth when busy but very appreciated as the day had a rough start. Thank You SB staff! read more

McDonald's - "There is nothing in the world that takes the place of persistence". - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

Rubbish! Once you get inside, they have touch screens that do not work. You have to try several. Once that is sorted out, you go to the counter and pay for the food that then takes 29 minutes!!! Yup. For one burger and two fries. They are rude. This experiment in tech is a disaster. Never again. Not this location! read more

Good location during the lunch hours, very good service and nice place to relax. I've been frequenting this place for breakfast and I think it's pretty slow for McDonalds. read more

Newer location and quick service this time of morning. Very nice interior with tables, stool seating and ample seating. Outside seating as well. Well lit and conveniently located on a major street in a shopping center. The Egg White Delight was good and the coffee was nice and hot. Ready to start my day...... read more

My worst experience with fast food. Didn't even look like a sandwich. Was a pile of shit. What the fuck is wrong with you people? I will NEVER!,,,,,,, go back to this shithole. read more

Popped in here for a quick breakfast bite and they were busy with customers. It took a while for the hash browns (they had to make a new batch). It's been renovated to be new, but still had a feel of not quite comfortable in its own skin. The sweet tea was not $1 as in the national promotions, though... read more

You go into a huge chain expecting standardized quality and taste. Unfortunately this is only half true for this location. Came in around 5 on a weekday, so it wasn't busy at all. We were greeted by a friendly cashier and placed our order quickly. Two sundaes. The result: the amount of one sundae split into two cups? Clearly dissatisfied and confused, we asked a man, which I'm assuming is the manager on duty, if there was a different size or something, holding up our half-empty cups. The response was an equally dissatisfying "no". It's not a matter of $1.29 I've wasted, it's the sloppily done job and unprofessional follow-up. Literally, another another second's worth of soft serve dispensed would've made the difference. read more

McDonald's - This is a sad excuse for a sundae - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

Alright, I wouldn't normally review this chain because nobody who buys fast food (i.e. 95-percent of the American and first world countries' population) freaking cares. Plus, let's face it: we all know what the deal is, Mickey D's = relatively consistent fast food. What made this one stand out was the service. All my mother and I wanted was coffee. The cashier had to brew a fresh pot. They could have just called the order number, but here they brought the beverages *to* us. I noticed they did that for other customers, bring the order to the seated diners. Are we in Carl's Junior? No, this is a McDonald's. Con muy bueno customer service. Reading reviews for any fast food chain let alone this one.. it is to laugh: people's grievances, bitching, whining and such. Giving maximum star-pletion to balance things. Just because. Kudos, Goleta Golden Arches. I happily visit and patronise you instead of the Shpoopee, um Chipoopchute, er, I mean, Shittpotle, next door. And as of this month, you can order breakfast items *outside of* breakfast hours, at most, if not all McDonald's. No more bummer times at 11:01 a.m. GLOOORY BEE!! "D-Fens", you are my hero; I wish you were alive-- not to mention, real-- to see this. read more

10/10 boba stop I recommend you bring your own pearls. You can adjust sweetness and milkyness to desires. Unlimited refills of black tea and I'm sure the cashier will give you infinite servings of creamer if you ask. Better than any other boba in IV. read more

This sport memorabilia themed Mickie D's is not the most convenient but boy are they fast. Why review a McDonald's? I'm right there with you. They're all the same. Right? For the most part I'll totally agree with you and from my writing history, you can read I'm not into the fast food but everyone needs a fry now and again. The biggest difference to this location is no drive through. They actually expect you to use your legs? I don't think Ray Kroc would be impressed with the antiquated delivery system of high carb, high sugar, non nutritious food. Now it's time to find a parking space. The over crowded parking lot begs you to drive across the street to Jack n the Box and finding a space anywhere near can be a challenge on the weekends. Once inside it's bight, airy packed with sports crap. I don't normally think of athleticism then the Golden Arches are at play. Up to the front the line moves quickly and then, DING. Fries are done. This must be one of the fastest location. It begs to wonder if the food was intended for me or another customer who's still parking. Maybe it's a new study on mind control. Ronald knows what he wants me to eat and the Dude abides. If you must visit McDonald's this is a good one to hit. Free WiFi is also offered. read more

I am not a person who eats McDonald's, I eat their breakfast once in a while but that's about it. I had heard they were making different burgers now, not frozen but fresh. I thought I would give it a try. Honestly I was really impressed! The quality was so different, it was juicy and flavorful. Only thing I would change is the bun being toasted. :) Otherwise it was all good! Service was excellent as well. :) read more

This is seriously one of the worst McDonald's I've ever been to. The wait times are ridiculously long (10 min on average when I go) and they are just so lazy it blows my mind. Trust me I get it it's McDonald's I'm already expecting sub par customer service but the people that work here are just incredibly bad. PS they gauge people $2.19 for a mcchicken bcuz they can... read more

McDonald's - Two fries and a chicken nugget - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

Ended up coming to this location because the mcdonalds off Fairview had ice cream machine maintenance. I come in with a friend to order mcflurries. Our order went through and as an employee named Bernie was beginning to make a mcflurry, the cashier named Jonathan said, "don't make it. There's a mcflurry in the fridge, just give her that one." Bernie said, "no, it's okay, that one is melted already." Um...i was not about to accept an hour old, melted, error mcflurry when I paid for one to be made! Things like this you do NOT say in front of customer. At all. You do not give customers mistake frozen dairy treats...especially when they have been refrigerated. Also, write off the mcflurry, keep the cup for inventory and let a manager know. Don't serve it if it was messed up. I got my mcflurry, ate it and was happy. Other than the tables needing to be wiped down, customer service was good, food was good. But the fact that I was going to be given a REFRIGERATED MCFLURRY...really dampened my experience, I just do not want this to happen to another customer because they deserve to get what they pay for. read more

This McDonald's by far is now my favorite! On our way to Lake Cachuma, pulling a trailer, we were looking for a place to eat and park. This location shares a parking lot with a Home Depot so tons of parking. However, the best part was how in tune they are with the local community. They have pictures and articles of local high school sports including individual players. This location knows the true meaning of community spirit. It is also extremely open and the staff were very friendly. read more

I'm sort of a McDonald's hater. Why get McDonald's when you can get In N Out, or even Chick Fil A for gods sake. Anyways, somehow I ended up here. I was scopin the menu and was like whaaaaaaat???? I thought yall were supposed to be cheap! Those prices u guys are telling are faaaar from cheap man. Do me a favor, if you're reading this, be over McDonald's man. Unless you're tryna get a McFlurry, those things are fiiiiire. But I also noticed that their size is way smaller than what it used to be. Scam read more

I don't think you can go wrong with McD's. I come here a lot to order chicken nuggets or iced coffee to go and they've always been quick and precise. The service is way better than that of other McD's I've been (ex. the one on University Ave in Riverside = epic fail). The women working here are friendly and not snappy, too. I'm always in and out within 5 mins. read more

Good location but they don't seem to honor the National promotions and deals. Otherwise I would have given more stars.
