As we entered Kailua town I was already hungry since we had lunch before 11 am. Today we had a basketball game in Aina Haina followed by a flag football game over the H3 to Kailua. That second game ended at 6:10 pm and the temptation of ONLY French fries was weighing heavy on my mind. Freshest, hottest French fries unlike ones I've tried elsewhere. So GOOD and satisfied my hunger til we reached home. Was the perfect combination of just right saltiness, slight oil on the finger tips and temperature. Thankyou Kailua McDonalds. read more

McDonald's - Ice cream cup - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Only "2" stars on Yelp for this McDonald's in Kailua??? How can be? I just had the most pleasant experience coming to this McDonald's restaurant as I found this place convenient, as I was just working a block away from this place. The restaurant was very clean & spacious, service was efficient, and whenever I go to a McDonald's I basically know what to expect. I had a 1/2 hour lunch so I came here for some Chicken McNuggets, and I even used my McDonald's points for a free McChicken sandwich. The food is your typical fast food, and I would say it's nothing to write home about, but the grub is perfect when you don't have much time on your hands for lunch. While dining inside of the restaurant, I was greeted (I think the dude was the owner), very friendly, and he was thanking the customers for their patronage. It is very rare now-a-dayz to see wonderful customer service like this, but I must say it was much appreciated. read more

The staff were patient and friendly, which I appreciated. However, the menu options felt somewhat limited, and I was told that a certain drink was unavailable, only to find out later that it could actually be ordered. Overall, it was a decent experience, and I would consider coming back to try some of the other items. read more

Not super busy on a weekend morning. Drive thru was easy to find, lots of parking available for dine-in if you want. They have a kids play area which is hard to find nowadays. Service and staff were quick and friendly. Hardly waited for my order and had no missed items, including sauces. read more

My Oreo McFlurry wasn't fixed properly. If I wanted a vanilla cone I would've just ordered one.

- minus every star.......Phyllis and Taylor are sooo rude to many customers. They swear at customers and have no "Customer Service" skills. They both are "termination" material and nothing more. You need to view your surveillance, guarantee you'll "fire" them. I don't care how long they have been employed there, they suck!!! read more

My order today was simple. Small fries, no salt. I was greeted in the drive thru very pleasantly. I gave my mobile order code from the app and was told to drive forward. The fries were so piping hot I had to blow on them before biting! I love that I am able to customize the order to be with no salt since sometimes the fries are too salty. I like the pure potato flavor to come through and today they sure did! Great service, temperature, and taste. I have been to this location before and have never had a bad experience! read more

Have an event in the area so had to kill some time and stopped here for breakfast. The restaurant felt on the warm side but large w lots of places to sit, had 2 different homeless men sitting in here in the morning and didn't feel too clean but there was someone that came to clean the dining room shortly after. The prices here are more expensive than kaneohe or other places like one hash brown is almost $4 but it's Kailua so.... Older Employee lady was friendly at the register. read more

Great place to eat but... sometimes the food is a hit or miss. Depending on the cooks will depend on your experience. Today nice workers and not too busy but our egg McMuffin is burnt crisp on the edges. Don't know who trained the cook but they need someone to teach them to NOT TO BURN TJE FOOD! Never burn the food! Only CHAR BROILED can be burnt because it's not burnt it's CHARED ‍otherwise best I can do today is tear off the edges. Here I go! Ok yay! Done! It's much better. Hehe But yes this place is nice big space and has a playground for kids! So I'd say if anything, just ask to make sure they DONT BURN the muffin. Maybe that would help. Thanks for the breakfast tho! read more

Giving this location a 5-star rating simply based on the fact that their employees are awesome. We just came through the drive through and the boy at the checkout window was so nice and polite. All the kids working the checkout window have had such good customer service every time we come here. They make pleasant conversation, and are so respectful, you can just tell they were raised well. They all deserve a raise. read more

A delivery truck boxed me in and the Manager (who cannot speak english) basically told me to f. Off. I am writing this review as I wait for the delivery to finish so that I can leave. I HAVE BEEN TRAPPED HERE FOR MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR . I might have to complain to corporate. read more

Rude manager who's name is Bing. My ice cream cone was badly cracked and when I questioned her her response was " well you going eat it anyway"!! She then closes the window. I sat there and got her attention and she came back to window. I asked for a cup to dump the ice cream in and to my surprise there was a portion of another cone in the bottom of mine. I kept asking for her name and she then said "auntie i can make you another. Im not her auntie!!I should of asked for a refund but didn't. Will go to another location. At $4.00 it should not look like it did. read more

The drive thru line was long so I was gonna go inside to order. The door was locked at 7:30pm on Sunday though it says open till 10pm on their website. I made a mobile order and went to the pick up spot with my car and the app didn't work so it told me to go to the counter. I had to be in the back of the long line to pick up my mobile order. So stupid. read more

Horrible customer service, especially from the lady in the drive through. She yells at other people directly in front of other customers. She needs to learn how to deescalate and maybe go to anger management. read more

Super fast and friendly service. My order was brought to me while I was looking for a couple of pennies to pay my bill. Houpia pie was available today, so I brought a couple. Dine in is also available. Nice clean and roomy. Enjoy. read more

McDonald's - Ugh - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

This McDonald's is the best McDonald's in Kailua! I sometimes go through the drive-thru in the mornings and the employee who takes my order if very polite, often welcoming me back like an old friend and even asking if I want my usual order even though I only go there a couple times a month. The drive-thru usually takes less than 5 minutes and the orders are fresh and correct! read more

So I've been going to this McDonald's for well over 20 years.. I don't know what happened in the past couple of months but the crew has changed and the quality of service and food has gone to absolute shit! The drive through as you pull in states that they are closed, and when they tell you to go back around to order, I order and then have to wait a ridiculously long amount of time for a simple order... tonight I ordered a chicken nugget happy meal a 10 piece chicken nugget meal a McDouble meal deal and an ice cream cone... all with cokes... every coke has about three pieces of ice in it, the chicken nuggets and fries were cold.... Not warm but cold, I live two blocks from this McDonald's and when I got home everyone said the same thing... "what the hell!? My food is cold!" Only thing that wasn't cold was the cokes! The ice cream I had to hurry up and eat because it was pretty much melting before my eyes and the cone was STALE!! Like ridiculously stale! Highly doubt I'll be going through the drive through again until they figure shit out! Prices gone up food quality and service goes down!? No thanks!! Pull it together McDonald's or we will be going else where! read more

Love this McDonald's. They are always clean inside. The food is always hot, fresh and tasty. They also have a playground inside for toddlers 3 and under. One of the best McDonald's I've been to so far! read more

I am between 2 or 3 but the reader can decide. After a long hot walk along the beach we decided to pull into McD drive thru for a frozen soda. The line was long and here is the 2 star part of the experience: I think the problem could be training and the equipment--the microphones and speakers. This happens everytime my husband has gone there-at least a half dozen times over a few months. We pull up and no greeting just a voice saying "pull up" we are confused--we haven't even ordered yet. As we look at each other in the car "Pull up!" My husband's asks-you want us to pull up to the next window? We haven't ordered yet. The voice just says "pull up to the next window!" He asks again "do we order there?" No answer. After a few seconds we decide to pull up. Now we are looking at the menu as the voice asks what we want today. We can't find the frozen sodas so we say so and ask what flavors they have. The voice asks if we know what we want. We ask again what flavors do they have? A list rattled off as one long word but cut off in the beginning sounded like -erryblueras--ryfrozencoke We are confused and ask her to repeat the flavors. She repeats Do you know what you want? We ask her to repeat them again it comes out as one long stri g of gibberish but we make out wild--erryblueraspberryfrozencoke. So we order wild strawberry and frozen coke. She tells us the price and to pull forward. We hear the people behind d us ordering strawberry and are told there is no strawberry only cherry.We pay to a pleasant woman. We pickup from a pleasant woman. As we drive away I stick my straw in and sip--wild cherry. It's ok it quenched my thirst but it was very frustrating. In general at fast foods everyone seems to know the menu and speak a shorthand which we are not fluent in. read more

McDonald's - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Cray cray line in the drive thru so I stopped inside. Got my order fast. 6 feet social distancing stickers on the ground and on every other chair. Boys restroom is open to customers only. Ladies restroom is for employees only.. Nice and refreshing to see we still have an indoor playground at McD's still. Although I won't be taking my kids here for that til all this is over.. No complaints about my order, they got it correct and my local deluxe was super fresh and really hot. Lots of parking in the lot and on the street. read more

Pretty standard experience for a McDonald's. They have a few menu options that aren't available on the mainland - taro pie, saimin, portuguese sausage/spam in some of the dishes, but otherwise, you can picture exactly the quality of food and service you'll get. One thing to be careful of is prices are a bit higher than mainland US! Otherwise, a nice place to grab a quick bite to eat. read more

Menu indicated "BUNDLE DEALS" Hash Browns (2) $3.50 At the payment window, received the receipt and the charge was $4.38. When questioned at the window, the response was that was no longer valid and it was the Mainland price, we don't have control... I said why didn't you change the menu? The response from server and then the manager on duty... It's not OUR'S. Watch your receipts! read more

First time trying this location since I normally Pick up McDonald's on base. I haven't had a McMuffin in a while so I was craving two ! I take my first bite and as I'm chewing i feel something hard! I know it happens to all of us where an eggshell falls into the egg but this caught me surprised! I think I'll stick to base McDonald's:( read more

McDonald's - Eggshell - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

First thing we noticed when we stepped in was the play area. Too bad it's for the little littles. Next thing was the cute kiddie tables and chairs. They're burgers! How fun. Cool thing for me as an adult... the order kiosk. I don't have to talk to anyone. I just tap away at the things I want, tap my card on the machine and minutes later my items are called out for me to pick up. Avoiding human interactions can sometimes 've convenient. I appreciated it. Last thing I was enjoying were the interesting lights. Check it out, you'll see what I'm talking about. If it's not a big deal to you, then whatev. I'm easily amused, so what? read more

Drive thru took over 20 minutes to take the order due to some system issue; the menu board outside restarted once. Once setup, though, it was quick and they had taro pie (though not on the menu board). Two for $3.85. Note inside they have a huge playroom space that we looked into as we waited. Happy meal and nuggets were consistent. read more

So service was okay. Food was good. However the restaurant smelled like pee. It was hard to be a dine In customer. I know there is a homeless problem everywhere but the staff allowed someone's wet pants dry on the rubbish can that was inside the restaurant. There was a homeless lady sleeping on the bench in front of the registers. The fact that the staff can see her sleeping there and allowed the dirty wet pants to dry in the restaurant tells me they really don't care. read more

Meh. Burnt fries. Sloppily put together sandwiches and, worst of all, rude staff. Asked for a soda refill and got, "We got no refills." Perhaps, "'I'm sorry, we no longer do refills at this location" would work better. No thank you. Glad this isn't my local restaurant. read more

Why would I bother reviewing a McDonald's? Because this one has a PLAY AREA. As a parent, places with safe, clean and FREE activities for kids are appreciated and coveted. This particular play area is not especially large (only a fraction of the airport/Valkenburg McDonald's - one tube slide and some climbing platforms). However, not every McDonald's has a play area. In fact, very few do. Although smallish, this one is also fairly clean and well maintained. In addition to the play structure, this McDonald's has a few other positives: + Hand sanitizer station. + Clean bathrooms. + Fun, hamburger stools (great for the wife's compulsory photo ops of the kids). + Old school Grimace sculpture! + Clean restaurant in general (tables, floors, etc.) which, unfortunately, is not the case in every McDonald's. + Large dining area. read more

McDonald's - Kid seating - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

They have become the nice McDonalds you expect. Very polite and friendly people now work there. Unfortunately the prices are still higher than most if not all the other McDonalds. I placed a large order and they forgot a Big Mac which I didn't see until I got home. 6 miles each way is not too far but more than you'd like, due to THEIR mistake. On my way there a cheeseburger was requested so I wondered if they would charge me for it after having to drive all the way back to retrieve the missing Big Mac. I told the lady I had just been there and they had forgotten the Big Mac. She said she recalled that order. I explained I had gone all the way home before coming back and if they could add a cheeseburger. I got up to the window and saw her talking to the manager apparently explaining my situation. That will be $3.99! I didn't want to say anything but later thought I should have. The manager should have comped the cheeseburger! I would not have felt compelled to write this review if he had. read more

I came to the drive-thru for breakfast and right after I got my food and tried to drive into the parking spots I ran over a curb. To be honest, it's my fault, but if they had a yellow pillar (like I've seen at many other McDonald's drive-thru's) or something that could be see from the windows at the drive through it could have been prevented. I took a look at it and it just has a red tip as an indicator, but you couldn't see it from my dash. Food: It was just like any other McDonalds. read more

If there was a Negative Star Rating I'd Rate this McDonald's just that. The Employees at this Specific McDonald's are NOT I repeat are NOT properly trained.I just witnessed the Worst Customer Service I've ever seen. A Customer Said "sorry I ordered a Large Drink" the Manager Replied "I'm sorry i don't know what the cashier Charged you I can't help you"... LMAO WHAAAATT??? Damn seriously? The problem at this location also is the Language barrier it's difficult to understand what one is saying and replying back to. Worst Chicken Sandwich ever also don't order it or just don't come to this McDonald's in particular PeriodT. This Location needs to be Shut down and made into a Jack n the box or something. read more

Have you ever written a review in hopes that it's seen by the business owner? Full disclosure: that's where I'm going with this review. While I am not a frequent McDonald's customer, this location of McDonald's is right down the street from my new office, so I was excited to try out my new McD's app on my phone to have a decaf coffee beverage from the McCafe, and looked forward to using my app's "virtual punch card" to keep treating myself to some drinks as the mood strikes. I was completely dismayed to learn that this McDonald's offers just one option for decaf coffee drinkers: hot plain decaffeinated coffee only. I tried to request a decaf mocha, a decaf latte, even just an iced decaf. I even explained how other Owner/Operators, drive thru locations, and even the employees at the now-closed corporate McDonald's Express on Ward have made me iced coffee--fill a clear cup with ice and pour the hot iced coffee over it. This is nothing new--I've been able to get decaf McCafe drinks for over 6 years!! When the cashier was confused, I said this to 2 managers (you know, the ones not dressed like anyone else), and both of them remained standing over 10 feet from me and only replied with "No, only hot decaf". Wow, I was really disappointed, as I was so looking to being able to get a cool, creamy coffee drink just steps away from my office. This location of McD's is clean, big, airy, and not too busy, even during lunch time. For that, 2 stars. Fails: 1. Being unable/unwilling to give a customer a product that's been done at other locations island-wide with no problem for years 2. Management treating me as if I'm interrupting/bothering them, and for not even bothering to walk 10 steps across a slow kitchen to approach and speak to me. I don't think I'll be back unless things change. read more

Customer service SUCKED!! No one said Thank You! They give you this look as if they didn't want to be there! Will never return to this location until the employees change their attitudes. Thought it was only at the counter and we tried the drive thru. Same treatment! read more

NOT HANDICAP FRIENDLY. Would be nice to be able to actually use the handicap parking instead of finding both parking stalls taken by cars without either a handicap placard or license plate.

If I could give it NO STARS I would. The customer service was poor and the food even worse. I'm not even sure if what they served me was edible for human consumption. Honestly I thought they threw it on the ground trampled it and then left it on the burner for an hour before serving it. The thing was thrown together with browning lettuce slimy with decay and two tomatoes. When I opened up the package I was taken so aback I didn't know how to proceed. I've been scarred from this McDonald's. And to think they charged me $10 for that thing. I'm questioning everything now. EVEN IF YOU ARE STARVING TO DEATH AND ABOUT TO PASS OUT, DO NOT WASTE YOUR LIFE COMING HERE, BETTER TO STARVE TO DEATH.T read more

McDonald's - Supposed to a chicken sandwich...???? - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I did the online survey and commented that the people at the counter were not friendly and did not seem to want to be there. I saw a complete difference today. They were polite and friendly and it seems like they were well trained. Good to see that they are taking action to follow up on the comments. The only problems now is that the door from the parking lot has a terrible squeak and the AC wasn't working. I put those in the online survey as well:) read more

If I could post a negative, I would. Couple things, employee passing out food at the drive thru in the mornings is the worst! No good morning, hi, thank you, go to hell, NOTHING!! Any local person who orders a spam or local breakfast platter expects the rice to be like rice...soft, fluffy, not rocks and pebbles!! 9/10 times the rice is rocks. YOU CAN'T ENJOY IT WHEN YOU'RE EATING ROCKS!!!! read more
