I continue to come back here hoping to that it would get a. Little better but NOPE! In fact it was way worse and all I wanted was a quick cup of coffee and it was truly burned...how do you burn coffee?!? By leaving it sitting on those burners ALL day! Their McCafe is McBurned grossness...should have gone to the Espresso...just sayin' read more

See all

I feel when you pay $30 for 2 10 pc nuggets, 1 reg double cheeseburger, 1 med fri and 3 ice waters, you might as well go somewhere nicer right?!?! Food was ok, its fast food, is what it is. Service... Not professional at all, but most the staff are teenager's... When we were trying to order they were laughing and screwing around in the background, kind of annoying. The Ridgecrest Mc Donalds is normally pretty clean. We hate the new paint job, my daughter calls it the EMO Mcdonalds because it looks sad and gray. After the new management this was the last chance for this establishment for us, I think. The time before this one, my eggs in my egg McMuffin, where not cooked all the way, it looked like snot. The eggs in my husband's Breakfast wrap where undercooked as well, new person maybe? whatever the case totally grody man. We have given up here and won't be returning. read more

Went on my lunch break to eat and number one the service was horrible. Ordered a 6 dollar meal only to get a burger and when I asked about my other items all I got in return was attitude. On top of that you can't even get refills anymore for a drink you pay for. read more

Oh brother. Horrible. Food tastes like 5 day old gas station food. Hard working employees serving appalling quality fare and the owners know it. 5 star reviews are ridiculous fakes. read more

Drive through drive thru at 10:10 am on a Friday. Ordered sausage McMuffin with egg, hash brown, and soda. They had the car ahead of me & three behind "pull forward ". 20 minutes later, car ahead of me are gone, and 2 behind me. OMG, really. I get it. It's McD's, fast food, is no longer fast, and going through drive thru means you are not in a hurry. Truth in advertising, I usually go inside because it usually faster than drive through. Today the line looked short. Now I realize it was because they were circumventing their performance measuring drive thru clock. read more

Super bad ,they allways made mistakes in my orders when I said allways it's every time all the time , I like McDonald's but this services it's really bad read more

When you order from McDonalds you expect 2 things, cheap and fast. Since the Mcmorrows took over in Ridgecrest , you get neither. The food isn't even a worthy guilty pleasure either. The fries were dried out. So we're the nuggets. They overcharge for everything. You can tell the employees are miserable and are not even allowed to quit. You are better off making ramen noodles, at least it won't cost you an arm and leg and you wont get disrespected in the process. read more

The night managers are cool. Fries are always fresh. Only thing is customers are nasty and leave trash everywhere. Other than that, everything is pretty neat. read more

Since the new ownership, it seems that things have only gotten worse. The prices have gone up. The staff was completely replaced, or at least so it seems, but the weirdest policy change was that you can no longer add items at the window after ordering through the drive-thru. When I forgot an item and requested to add it at the first window, they told me I could not do that and that I would have to go all the way through the drive-thru again. Strange, inconvenient, pretty frustrating. read more

McDonald's has come out with a brand-new hamburger called the "Four Bite Micro Mini Burger." They modified their regular hamburger by making the burger meat over 50% thinner, making the bun smaller to match the smaller meat, a drop of ketchup and mustard, a squashed pickle, and a few dried onion chips. And at a price of $3.99 for the Cheese, "Four Bite Micro Mini Burger" comes out to a dollar a bite. And I just heard that next year, they are coming out with a paper-thin meat "Two Bite Micro Mini Burger" at $8.00 for $4.00 a bite. read more

Every single time we get food here, there is always missing items or wrong items in the bag. They are never consistent. Has really gone downhill after the new owners took over. read more

After my experience last night, I will never order anything from this restaurant again Manager was uncaring and rude. Admit when you mess up. Apologize. Do something besides stand there with a stupid passive aggressive smile on your face. Make it right. Treat your customers with respect. We deserve it. Even the customer who you deliberately shamed for using food stamps to pay for his meal. UPDATE: called the restaurant and learned his name is Raoul read more

I didn't get a chocolate milk with my happy meal. In fact i got straw instead. The happy meal didn't make me happy it was average meal. My chicken nuggets were stuck together, the fries were unsalted, some too cooked. If you want a better rating I would like a free happy meal "with" a chocolate milk and some good ah chicken nuggies and fries. read more

Really McDonald's? When I ask for a burger I kinda hope that the burger is there. I don't recall saying hold the burger! It's seriously frustrating because I live far enough away that driving back for a correction is just not feasable for a cheap burger...please at least try to get it right! read more

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

Last week they did not give me bacon with my Deluxe Breakfast Platter. Are they eating our food that we paid for?

Place is clean and fresh inside but stay away if you have to eat gluten free. Asked about a gluten free bun, they don't have any. Asked if I could get my burger on a lettuce wrap, manager said they don't do that. Ask about salad, they said they no longer have salads, asked about ice cream or shakes and the machine wasn't working. LOL get it together otherwise Chick fil a is gonna take your business when they come into town. read more

I would give them zero stars if I could. The staff was very kind and efficient, but the policies they're expected to carry out are insane. Don't forget anything on your order. I ordered through the Mobil app (which I knew was a risk in itself) and I forgot one order of fries. So when I pulled up to the speaker, I gave my mobile order number and then asked if I could place a second order? No. I was told that the managers will not allow the employees to place more than one order per car. They said if I needed something else they're supposed to tell me to get back in the drive thru to order again. So instead I simply stopped at the drive thru exit and hopped out and went in to order my one fry, that literally took seconds for them to bring me. Best I can figure they get some kind of benefit based on how many cars go through the drive thru. I have avoided this place like the plague since the new owners arrived. Today I caved, because my kids kept asking. It's not worth the disappoint, stress, stupidity, or bad food, to keep going back. Never again. read more

I would like to send pictures.Dried out burger and fish sandwich. French fries rotten and super hard . Vomiting after consuming 3 bites. Never had a bad McDonald's till I drove thru this one at 10:45 at night. read more

Still 1 star. Paid for 4 doubles cheese, 2 plain cheese burgers and a kids meal. Received 3 double cheese. This franchise owner needs to fire the manager. Unreal and unacceptable. 2 years ago the service here was not this bad. read more

The McDonald's on China lake Blvd has declined. Just about every time I go there they want to tell me to move forward, guess what I'm not moving forward anymore. I see what you did. I asked for fresh fries I got Luke warm fries then the manager tells me I need to move forward for my fresh fries that I asked for 4 cars ahead ago, then I get the fries to find out that they mixed old fries in and the top of the fries were hot. Nice job, NO I WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD AGAIN! I don't care about your time. Not my problem. Btw people you do not have to pull forward, it's only to make better time for them. Maybe if more people said no to their request they would get their shit straight. read more

Might as well use the sauce you have at home. And dont expect ice cream after 9:30 because the machine is "down"

Worst McDonald's I've been to in a long time. To start off with they never fill the fry container completely. At first I thought it was just a fluke on a busy day but it has happened consistently every time I go there which leads me to believe it is a management initiative to save money or supplies out here in the desert. But the final straw and the reason I am posting this review was my experience tonight. I went through the drive thru to get food for myself and a friend. I bought two 10 piece McNugget meals and asked for Szechuan sauce. I paid for the food and when it was handed to me I checked to make sure the order was correct. What I found in the bag was my food along with two ranches, two Honey mustards and a BBQ sauce, but no Szechuan. I looked on the receipt on the bag and it clearly stated that I requested Szechuan. I parked my car and went inside to get the sauce I asked for because we had yet to try it and it was the only reason I went. When I asked for some the cashier handed me a single sauce. I asked her if I could have more and she said that I only get one, and that if I want more I will have to pay $0.25 for another. I asked her if we were honestly expected to split one sauce for 20 nuggets and she said yes. I was not in the mood to argue so I took the sauce and left. I'm writing this review to let y'all know how the Ridgecrest McDonald's runs their business and that I will be contacting corporate in the morning over the several issues I have had with this store. read more

I order a quarter pouncey with no onions becuase I'm allergic to them.. tell me why did they put a whole onion on my burger, not knowing i ate it which landed me in the emergency room becuase my throat closed.. THANKS RIDGECREST MCDONALD'S, ARE YOU GOING TO PAY MY HOSPITAL BILLS!! LEARN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR STAFF!! read more

Another restaurant serving cold food. Only the French fries are hot. Quite often the milk shake machine isn't working and many times have to pull into the parking lot to wait for them to bring my food out to me. The cost of food there has gone up in price so much it's not worth the money anyway. The bathrooms have keypads on them and only the staff can use them read more

There is constantly something wrong with the orders. They always get at least one thing wrong. Burgers missing from our order. Busted lids on drinks, so the lids doesn't stay on. No straws for the drinks. Asked for no pickles and no onions and every burger we did get has both. That's just on our last visit there. Wish there was another McDonald's in town. read more

I got a very good meal from McDonald's. The only thing was I ordered a sprite but got water . Overall, good "ish" restaurant read more

Teach you drive thru order takers to confirm orders at speaker instead of at the 1st window when all they can say is you ordered a drink and I then have to repeat my entire order due to them doing too many things at once. Would probably cut down on times. read more

This place takes forever to get your order and when you get it it's never right. Instead of hiring kids to work behind the counter maybe they should hire some adults. The manager was very disrespectful would not work with me had me waiting for 30 minutes outside before they even came out to see what I was waiting for. After stating my frustration to him he told me he refuses to help me and I can go. I will never ever go to that place again. read more

This review has to do with community involvement more so than the business. The owners sponsored the local High School Baseball program and were one of the first businesses to do so this year. Their willingness to support local community sports programs in very indicative of the character of the business owners. Small things like their sponsorship in our small community mean a lot to our student athletes and our sports programs. This level of community involvement makes it easy to recommend this business to anyone! Thank you McDonalds of Ridgecrest!! read more

I have been pretty happy with this McDonalds location in the past. They have great customer service, but in the past 2 weeks I have been here 3 times and my medium fries has come half filled. Other then that they have been great. read more

McDonald's - Second time they only filled my fries halfway. - Fast Food Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

RIDGECREST CALIF manager owner came out, WHILE I WAS IN DRIVE THRU, and told me I could not do business at his franchise locations from my MULTIPLE calls to corporate because of his UNTRAINED staff not having the knowledge to assimilate the phone app technology. Well, GUESS WHAT, I am gonna lambaste social media over this and let them know how you REALLY treat your paying customers. Banish me? F*&k U! read more

Drive-thru is safe typically, but the dining room experience is terrible. This is one of the local hangouts for teenagers with nothing better to do. The staff allows them to be loud, boisterous and rude to the other customers. I witnessed a teenager throw things at a younger adult dining on his own. He showed control beyond what I could have and didn't beat the living snot out of the teenager; although he was much larger and easily could have. He told the manager on duty, and they did nothing. The kid wasn't even a customer, he had just gotten a cup of water and was sitting and hanging out. McDonalds Ridgecrest, get your crap together and get rid of these miscreants hanging out in your dining room. You're giving away cups of water and seats to non-paying customers to hang out that are driving away people that will actually pay to eat there. read more

The staff here are awful!! Will not be back!! Low talkers on drive thru lunch menus displayed at breakfast. Poorly managed at best

Wow! When they use the term "fast-food" I didn't expect it to be done within 3 minutes! This place is heavily trafficked during the morning and I was amazed at how fast their kitchen was churning out Mc-Whatevers. The cashier was a friendly middle-aged woman who even asked me how my day as going. They also had a promotion going on that was buy one McCafe get another one free. How ridiculously awesome. I generally don't eat a lot of fast food, and especially I don't eat McDonald's often, but this place was pretty wonderful. read more

Applied for a job here, got my interview scheduled, showed up at the correct date and time, and was told by the manager that he wasn't ready to conduct an interview and to leave me contact info. Never heard back. I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about working at McDonald's to begin with, but this was beyond unprofessional, it was openly contemptuous of me. Fuck this place. Never patronizing them again. read more

This has got to be the best McDonald's! It was beautiful and clean; the staff were very friendly and efficient. Everyone seemed to know what they were doing. It was such a nice atmosphere that we wanted to stay there and hang out for awhile. You will not be disappointed eating here. And, the food was delicious! read more

Unbelievable efficiency during the breakfast/lunch transition. Manager cracking the whip, employees running at full speed, all the while providing the most professional courteous service that would make police departments and the US Military blush. I wish my workplace was this well-oiled and smooth running. They write your name on your order, and if something's taking more than a minute, they manager runs back to the kitchen and grabs it for you and calls your name as he's running back. read more

Stopped in as a detour during a US road trip holiday. Branch was nice and clean. I wish I'd got her name, but there was a slim, black, young lady working in there who was one of the best McDonald's employees I've ever met. She was extremely friendly, helpful and smiley. We live in the UK and know the CEO of McDonald's as our daughters are at school together. I'm going to make sure he hears about this young lady as she deserves the recognition. read more

Poor service. Went inside at 7:00am to order an ice tea. Placed the order then waited almost 15 minute for somebody to get the tea. Two days latter went in around 11:00am to get lunch, stood at the counter to place my order but nobody come to the register to take my order. Waited over 15 minutes then just left without lunch. read more
