During major construction inside the building I am shocked to see that the health department allows them to still prepare and serve food while there are particles of God knows what in the air floating towards the food prep area. Drive-thru is open with many people and wonder if they realize what type of contaminants have made their way into the food. read more

Went through the drive-through placed my order for a small fry the flavor fish and a egg McMuffin. I paid for my order and was told to pull into a spot when it was handed to me I thought it felt light. I looked in the bag and I was handed three fillet of fish patties and nothing else just the patties no tell me shit this place be shut down or what read more

BAD FOOD!! This McDonalds really kicks it old school complete with vintage fiber glass and orange Naugahyde booths, and groovy orange flower pot lamps, pretty cool. The menu was also featuring some of McDonalds newer products so I though so might try one... So the PROBLEM here is the FOOD, or at least the healthy stuff. I got the Asian Salad to go. It looked very strange when I opened the cover. Pea pods were warm, mandarin orange slices were warm and watery. The lettuce mix was supposed to be healthier with greens and kale, it was 99% head lettuce. Unfortunately I paid for the salad with chicken cause that was horrible too. How do they mess this up? It tasted off and smelled like fish. I took one bite of it and a few of the lettuce and had to toss it. What a waste of $5.69!! It was my dinner... bummed!! read more

McDonald's - groovy *flower pot* type lamps at this old school McDonalds. - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

I was disappointed when I waited an extra time for them to fill the order only to return home and find they left out a McDouble burger! Too tired and hungry to drive all the way back. read more

The food is the appropriate temperature and always as expected. The staff is friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing the remodeled dining room. read more

Horrible service!!! Too long a wait 20 minutes. Rude employees. Filled coffee 3/4 vs. full

The young man working as a manager or assistant manager here is terrible. He kept putting his hands inside his mask and around the nose/mouth area while coughing. McDonald's should really reconsider their hiring choices. I only come here when the other one is closed, and every time I end up regretting it! Avoid this location at all costs due to wrong/missing items in orders, long wait, issues with hygiene, food poisoning, rude employees, etc read more

What happened to the great coffee McDonald's used to have?!? It was so dark & bold... now it's like dirt water! No flavor

I was extremely disappointed in all of the employees. They were rude and unhinged. They did not allow us to change our order in the drive thru and made us pull to the front of the restaurant without giving back my credit card and I politely refused to leave without my credit card and they decided to insult us verbally. All we wanted was a sweet treat and were extremely let down. Will not be coming back ever again. employees were racist. read more

Actually shocked to see so many negative reviews. We don't frequent McDonald's, but we have lived in the neighborhood for 10 years so we've been here a decent amount of times. And my kids love getting McDonald's on road trips so I have a fair share of McD's experiences to compare this one to. I admit, we never go inside, but I can tell you the drive thru is lightening fast every time, especially considering how crowded it often is. And they always get our order right. Really appreciate the efficiency at this location! read more

Fool me once shame on you... fool me twice shame on me... I guess it was my own fault to come back to this location. The food was what I expected for a fast food establishment but the people working were completely disrespectful and rude. I had to wait quite some time before the man talking the orders even could help me. Another one was swearing and yelling offensive words while the guy taking my order was talking. And then of course they were out of everything I was trying to get.. and just kept laughing about it. Something always goes wrong when I drive through. I now know not to even bother with this location. read more

McDonald's - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

See all

Something is off at McDonald's on fairview. Not for first time fries are bland. Food is not hot. Tastes as if pre prepared and sitting out for a bit. This was third and last chance. read more

This drive McDonald's always messes up our order no matter how clear we tell them they still mess up. Management or corporate real reconsider training them or retrain them because this is not even funny anymore. Today we went and got 4 sausage egg muffin and only got three?? Like how you not reading the order?? MCDONALDS WHERS YOUR HEAD AT? read more

I picked up 20 pcs of chicken nuggets. Came home to see they were all flat and stale. Very disappointed.

Drive thru worker didn't leave me McSatiafied with the customer service tonight, awfully rude tone of voice. No need for the attitude, I'm just trying to get my midnight snack :// read more

ITS NOT 24 HOURS!!! Fix your yelp page! It's really annoying to make a side trip off the freeway for incorrect yelp information.

The reason why I like this Mc Donalds is because there is a drive thru, it was a lot of cars and it was quickly service. Remember that in Macdonald works a lot of different people, I guess that's the reason why sometimes it's better service I always came here for my favorite coffee!! read more

Slowest McDonalds I have ever been too. We waited over 30 minutes and all we ordered was McFlurries. They made two, left them sitting and helped a whole bunch of customers but forgot about our order. No one seemed to know what was going on. By the time we got our order the ice cream was liquid on four and they had hardly any Oreo inside. It seems like an item that is simple enough to make consistently, but they did NOT at this location. read more

No Problem. Food is McDonald's. What need be said? You expect McDonald's food. We went for the french fries. But the place needs some staff training. I guess they were busy, but they acted like they could not be bothered. Upon taking my order, I said, "Thank you", and the reply was "No problem". Really, glad to hear that taking my order was "No Problem". Like I said the food is McDonald's food, but having the staff be courteous should not be a extra cost sort of thing. No problem. read more

The worst McDonald's in the entire Santa Barbara area at this point. Not once, not twice, but three different occasions have they forget half of our order. Not to mention the constant homeless population loitering in their parking lot & approaching vehicles. Ive tried to call this location numerous times and the number just rings. Ive contacted McDonalds customers service hotline on 3 different occasions for items being forgetting & no refund, no one answering the store phone when i called the restaurant & homeless people approaching my car & knocking my window. Literally fuck this place AND ITS THE ONLY ONE WITH A DRIVE THROUGH LIKE COME ON read more

As a massive McDonalds fan I regret to inform you that this is a terrible McDonalds. It is NOT 24 hour and is consistently out of menu items. Go to the one on storke it is much better read more

This McDonald's is the worst McDonalds In California food is always cold and soda taste like cleaning chemicals went there recently waiting for someone to help me! Other lane was getting to order way before me it took 5 people who came after me they ordered there food and finally I got to order its bullshit I used to work there back in the days and wasnt ever that bad man heard from many to report to district head quarters and I will for sure honestly they dont deserve even a 1 read more

2.5 stars. It's McDonald's, so you know exactly what you're getting here; for the most part, it's clean and consistently offers the typical Mickey D's experience. I've never had a problem eating here. The only reason I'm reviewing it is to point out the historical significance of this store: it's the birthplace of the Egg McMuffin. Yes, the ubiquitous breakfast sandwich was invented here, a few miles from the beach. http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/our_company/amazing_stories/food/the_birth_of_the_egg_mcmuffin.html read more

This is possibly the worst McDonalds in the US. Every time I go there the orders are incorrect or the wait time is excessive. In addition, the food quality and temperature is not to McDonald's normal standards. read more

I seriously hate this McDonald's. I honestly don't know how to properly express the amount of hatred I have for this specific McDonald's. I hate them so much that I will get the fuck up out of my car and get my own food, rather than having to deal with the frustration of order in that 'disgusting drive-thu ever again. Obviously I'm not asking for five star service, but I am expecting a bit more professionalism from an employee of a multi-billion dollar corporation. Especially when you have only ONE customer. Not only did the woman on the receiving side of my order take her precious time to greet me and ask for my order, but I had to repeat myself several times on pretty much everything I ordered. It was so bad that I waited to get to the window to order my drink and I still had to repeat myself with that. TWICE. Now, I'm not bitching about some fast food drive-thru manager's apparent hearing/ attention deficiency, that was not the tip of the iceberg. This much hatred fueled somewhere between ordering food from someone with an attitude problem and spending money on an order that was 100% screwed up and cold. I was their only customer, how could two people fuck up one single order so hard and have an attitude problem towards me? I even gave the lady 75 cents because she couldn't just give me two extra ranches. Every single time I have ever gone through this drive-thru I have been sorely disappointed. I wish I could give negative stars. read more

McDonald's - Happy Easter! - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

Ordered 2 Mc Ribs with xtra onions today and the ribs were cold lacking bbq sauce and the onions were were bulb size. Need better management during the weekend. Need to train employees better on food preparation. I get that we are in a pandemic crisis but make your food the way you used to. read more

I have been experiencing extremely bad service with there food. I wasn't going to write anything but I decided to go ahead and do in case anybody else seeing the same issue. The last two times I've been at this McDonald's for some odd reason my French fries are under cook and I don't understand. They taste terrible and the drive from SB back to Goleta it's really not worth $2.00 read more

Open 24 hours- the food is what you'd expect. The only real criticism I have is that sometimes the food tastes like it's been sitting out (temperature isn't up to par). Either way, I'm glad there's something open late when I'm starving and don't want to cook. read more

Only reason why I like this Mc Donalds so much is because there is a drive thru. But I don't know how I feel about them not being able to split more than 2 orders. But they never fail on making good iced coffee! read more

Update 10/13/16: Recently, ordering breakfast here during non-breakfast hours has been better because we've learned to specify when placing our order that we want things (such as hash browns) "made fresh". Doing this, we've had a lot better results. I also like that they've expanded their all-day breakfast menu, as breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. *** I love breakfast, and the idea of breakfast served all day is good in theory. But in reality, if you order breakfast during non-breakfast hours from this location, your order will NOT be fresh or cooked well. We've tried on more than one occasion, and the food is either hard and cold because it's been sitting around for hours unordered or hard-as-a-rock and overcooked because old product that has been sitting around is refried a 2nd time, like the hash browns we ordered today in the late evening. If you're going to serve breakfast all day, it needs to be made fresh no matter what time it's ordered. Otherwise, "all day" breakfast is nothing more than marketing hype. read more

I love coming here after a long night of drinking maddog 2020. Highly recommend the mcchicken, in my opinion the best fast food sandwich.

Ate breakfast here twice on a recent business trip to the area. Elected to go to the counter to order. The first lady to take my order had a very thick accent; I could barely understand her to order ... but it worked out fine. 2nd day, different lady, no problems. Orders were up quick. Restaurant was clean. read more

Absolutely the worst hamburger I've ever had the misfortune to eat. As dry as cardboard. Bacon smokehouse. Ugh

Horrible service. Waited in a 20 min line for drinks. Could have given them at the pay window but instead waited another 8 min to get to the next window. Wtf???? read more

Very Clean and Nice McDonalds! Their mobile order response was very fast and the staff is very polite. Will be visiting again!

Welcome to one of the most expensive McDonalds anywhere. That's for starters. I've noticed a trend recently at the McDonalds with a drive through. They seem pressured to work feverishly to keep the drive-through line moving at the expense of the walk-ins. I understand that the City/County gets upset when there are cars backed up onto the street; I admit it is a problem. However.....if you are a manager reading this....please be aware that it is obvious and needs some thought to come up with a solution. And....how about keeping your prices in line with Ventura and most anywhere else. I honestly think twice before going to a SB McDonalds now; there are a lot of other choices that are a better value. read more

Never been in a McDonald's with such a horrible service employees in a bad mood and nothing in order was right not to mention they go outside to yell your number instead of bringing the food to you since they're already walking outside. Let me not forget to mention that they drop cooking utensils on floor and keep using them. read more

McDonald's are generally all pretty similar in quality of food and this one food-wise is just fine. The reason it's two stars is because of the drive-through. Usually I get a nice lady, but this last time I got a girl who was extremely rude. So bad in fact I don't think I'll be coming back to this location. Not worth it read more

Just got home with order and EVERYTHING WAS COLD!!! Food looks like it was not cooked thoroughly and rushed to get out.. Horrible experience, doubt I'll ever go back!! Tried to call and inform management but no answer!! read more

So I guess on a SATURDAY NIGHT they decide they don't want to make any more ice cream and have the machine turned after midnight? REALLY. It must be nice to just omit parts of your job that you don't want to deal with. I hope a manager reads this and they figure out they're doing it but if this is manager approved I really don't think I'll ever come back again because it tells tales of management overall. It's literally part of the job that you are paid to do. Please do it. read more
