This location is hit or miss. I've visited about four times pre-ordering on the McDonald's app, and then providing the code at the drive thru. Even though they utilize the stickers that say the bag has been double checked, half the time I've gone I would have to pull over or park once leaving the final window discovering one item of the order was forgotten or missing. I want to acknowledge that when I have gotten out of the car to retrieve the missing item inside the workers are apologetic and assist as swiftly as they are able. I've seen how crazy packed inside and outside this location can be during lunch hour, or breakfast rush -- and I want to acknowledge that I'm sure the workers are trying their best. I appreciate that they approach with kindness. I feel like the drive thru orders are more accurate when I've ordered live, but when ordering live and not utilizing the app you miss out on any deals and discounts. Inside the store, there are mostly kiosks to self-order. Plenty of indoor seating, and from what I can tell the inside of the location is kept clean. The food is usually prepared well. No complaints about the food. read more

With coffee in hand from SBUXs, we headed here for some road food for our drive home. Sadly, we stopped here for some Chicken Strips and sandwich. Why may I ask... did we need to wait 17 minutes after paying in the Drive/Thru window for our meal? I mean, it was only two items. We got out at one point to go inside to see what the holdup was and almost just wanted to ask for our money back. "Oh, we forgot about you." Really? Okay, Yogi. read more

This is, without question, the worst experience I have ever had at a McDonald's location. I waited 37 minutes in the drive-through for a simple order: a coffee (with one pump of vanilla, specifically requested) and a Filet-O-Fish sandwich. The wait time alone was unacceptable. Once you enter this drive-through, you are completely stuck with no way out. When I finally received my order, the coffee was overloaded with syrup far beyond the one pump I clearly requested. Attention to detail was nonexistent. During the wait, I witnessed multiple vehicles attempting to leave due to the excessive delay. This place causes major anxiety This reflects a serious failure in management and operational efficiency. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location under any circumstances."AVOID AVOID AVOID " This is the worst customer service experience I have had, and I will not be returning. Horrible service , horrible wait time . had to personally step in and speak up about how terrible my experience was. The manager, Maria, spoke with me, and after our conversation I honestly felt a little bad because she's clearly doing what she can while being understaffed. But this is not her responsibility. The responsibility falls entirely on the general manager of this location. That person is supposed to oversee the entire operation, ensure proper staffing, and make sure the service runs the way it should. What's happening here is a direct result of poor management. I truly hope this review reaches the franchise owner or the corporation, because this isn't a minor issue it's a serious leadership failure that needs to be addressed immediately. @McDonald's @yelp @uber @lyft @doordash #WorstService #DriveThruDisaster #CustomerExperienceMatters #AvoidThisLocation #Unacceptable #ManagementFailure read more

I would give this location zero stars if it was an option. I placed a mobile order on a Saturday evening at approx 8pm. When I arrived, it was nearly a 20 MINUTES wait through the drive through JUST TO MAKE IT TO THE ORDER WINDOW. As I pulled up to give them my code for my mobile order, the lady claimed it did not exist. She proceeded to ask if I ordered at the right location whether I picked in store instead of drive through, if I was a Door Dash or Uber Driver.. the list goes on. I proceeded to show her my confirmation code via Email AND McDonald's app- she claims it is a screenshot image. Like instead of trying to solve the problem.. I'm being blamed for as the customer for making an error or lying. The customer service here is non existent. I proceeded to ask to speak with the manager, Nancy, and she gave me my order. But the experience still left a very sour taste on my mouth. Like I'm just a tired human being after having worked 13 long hours and I'm just trying to get a pick me up before heading home to decompress. I don't recommend going here. I went simply because it was close by .. and the McDonald's near my house didn't have the Grinch Meal available. Please save your sanity and go check out a different location, even if it's slightly farther. I personally like the McDonalds in Sorrento Valley .. on Scranton Road. The manager there and their employees are very helpful and kind. read more

McDonald's - From where I was waiting.. to the kiosk (aka3-4 cars ahead of me) took over 20 minutes. Insane for a fast food joint. - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Waited 20 mins for food and I get a single chicken nugget. Charged full price. Wrong size fries and drink too. Literally the worst scam ever I need my money back this is insane. I get off work at 1am and this is what I get for dinner read more

McDonald's - Chicken nugget . - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Called ahead to get fresh coffee made. They did not make it fresh. I literally called ahead specifically so that it would be easier on them to do it. I used to work at McDonald's and I was a kid so I'm not impressed with this location in fact I really think they need to start revisiting management across the majority of the stores. I had to go back in and get the vanilla shot that I had requested and "Flore" had a not great attitude about it. I don't know what it is lately but I know that it's difficult working in public and you're dealing with a lot of different type of people but if I call ahead and I'm being polite and I pay for something. Then they need to respect the fact that that's my money. I'm not impressed at all with the managers that a majority of locations it's kind of frustrating and I need to find a different place to get coffee late at night. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but I just had to today. Unless you're desperate, don't order from here. 2nd worst McDonald's I've ever been to. Customer service EVER! They ignore you, barely want to answer your questions. They give you an attitude and make you feel like you are such a bother. read more

This is probably the worst McDonald's I have ever been to. They have only gotten my order correct twice. They mark mobile orders ready for pick up and they aren't ready. The workers ignore you. Then if you go through drive thru they make you pull forward and wait in the parking lot. Last time I did that they gave my order to someone else in the parking lot and then it took me 45 minutes to get someone to remake my order and they made every single thing in my order wrong and after that long I had other things to do and just took what they gave me. I complained and was told a manager would reach out and never heard from them. I usually go out of my way to another McDonald's at this point. read more

This place is terrible. I went here on my 1 hour lunch for a quick bite. Ordered in the mobile app, and did curbside pick up. I waited 40 minutes till I went inside to check. They asked for my receipt and had me wait another 13 minutes or so and gave me my order. They also got my order wrong. Ordered extra Mac sauce and onions in my burger and didn't get any, ordered some sauces on the side and didn't get any. Forgot to give me a cup for a drink which took another 5 minutes for someone to come to the front so I can ask. They looked understaffed which is why my order was messed up and took forever. There was also about 8 other people waiting for their food. Basically missed out on my lunch because of this had to speed to work after I got my order. read more

Food is consistent provided there's someone here to plop it into the heater. Service is complete trash. Who thought we can't even recognize the difference between. 6 McMuffins versus 2. Homeless people park inside all day and it is what it is. If you have a choice on which McDonald's you go to, pass this place. read more

Update - 8/2/26 It's been a while thought I'd return to my old McDonald's and when I came in the line was super long and it took 30 minutes plus to get our food. Looks like this place is still not great at efficiency and customer service. Keep at it read more

This location is just horrible. No matter what you order it takes at least 20 minutes or longer to receive your order. Employees have a lack of enthusiasm and lack the basics of customer service. The difference between this location and the McDonalds on Clairemont Drive is night and day and has to reflect on the manager. Yesterday there were 8 people inside waiting for their orders while one employee was on break and two were moping and sweeping the floor. You would think one of the floor cleaners would stop and help break the line. This place is just trash!! read more

Needed a little snack and decided to get some McD. Ordered the nuggets and cheeseburger. Ordered through the mobile app which was quick and easy. The ambiance was low key and not very many people in the restaurant. read more

Drive through took nearly 30 mins! Food was only warm. Do not go here or just go inside

I wrote this on the website and will write it here too, I want to make sure you guys know how serious I take this. While I was asking for barbecue sauce at the counter, the employee assisting me unnecessarily touched and caressed my hand and appeared to hold onto it for the way that it felt heavy pulling away. I was clearly uncomfortable and did not give any indication that this contact was welcome. This interaction felt inappropriate and unprofessional. I would appreciate this matter being reviewed and addressed with the staff at this location so it doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

McDonald's - Worker - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

There should be no reason that I have to wait almost half an hour, especially after getting off work for a breakfast sandwich combo. & to top it off- it was almost as if one person was working meanwhile you got the rest of the workers hanging out outside like they just got off waiting for their rides. Honestly, why is this location even open if you're not gonna tend to your guest? Worst McDonald's ever. Honestly a waste of space especially in the city. Definitely never coming back. Also, worst slow a** customer service. Inconsistency at its finest. read more

Extremely slow for a fast food restaurant. Shouldn't take over twenty minutes for some fries and chicken nuggets. If you plan on eating at this location be prepared to wait a long time for your order to be ready. The funny thing is they are fully staff and still can't get orders done in a timely manner. read more

New edit. My god, can these people get a single order right?! Your job is not that hard. DO BETTER Prices have gone up 33% in the last few months. It is now almost $9 for an egg and sausage sandwich plus a hash brown. Absolutely too expensive for this kind of f read more

We went through the drive-thru around 11pm and the staff were quick with our order. Our food was fresh too. Fries were hot and out the fryer and the sandwiches weren't a hot mess. Great service! read more

0 STARS. This is the worst fast food restaurant i have ever had the mistake of going to. I have been there THREE times in a row only for them to cancel my order or not have my order at all. Literally avoid this place AT ALL COSTS. The workers are rude, they close hours early, their working hours are literally never correct. I cannot even explain how incompetent and little these workers care. Never ever ever coming back again, 4th strike and you're out. read more

Possibly the worst McDonald you'll visit. I live near this one but will drive to one further away 99% of the time. You can expect longer wait times for no apparent reason, even when the lines are short. I have yet to encounter a nice employee through the drive though, and there's a high chance your order will be wrong. Last time the hamburger was wrong, they forgot the chicken nuggets and a fry, and they gave me the wrong sodas. They redid the burger and it was wrong again. Both happy meal fries were sooooo gross and stale tasting but the adult fries were fine. Skip this McDonald's and go to a different location. read more

I am writing to provide constructive feedback regarding recurring issues experienced at your McDonald's location, which I frequently visit due to its convenient proximity to my workplace. While I appreciate the accessibility, several aspects of the service have consistently fallen short of expectations. Specifically, I have on numerous occasions encountered prolonged delays at the drive-through, often waiting for over five minutes without any initial acknowledgment or greeting from staff. This repeated lack of immediate interaction or response creates a perception of being unattended and significantly detracts from a positive customer experience. Furthermore, I wish to express concerns regarding the professional conduct of an individual I understand to be a morning shift manager. My interactions with this particular manager have frequently been characterized by an unresponsive and dismissive demeanor, including what I perceive as a 'silent treatment' approach. This behavior is both unprofessional and unhelpful, and my attempts to identify this individual by name for direct feedback have been unsuccessful. I am bringing these matters to your attention in the hope that you will investigate and address them. I value the convenience your establishment offers and believe that with appropriate action, the service quality can be significantly improved to ensure a more welcoming and professional environment for all patrons. Thank you for your time and consideration of this feedback. read more

Gross dirty dirty dirty!!! Disgusting! Who knows when they cleaned last. So gross feel like calling g health department

placed an order and sat in the curbside slot for 20 minutes without receiving anything. Walked inside and tried to get an employees attention and no one was available / busy running around for another 10 minutes before I could talk to a person. the person was able to locate a bag of food that had been sitting on the counter for 20 something minutes at this point... I waited about 40 minutes for some cold food. read more

McDonald's - Completely disgusting!! - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

This location has been a very hit or miss spot for the last few years that I've seen it, with more misses in recent history than ever. What should be the most standard fast food experience becomes a longer wait than in-n-out. 30 minutes+ for an online order that doesn't ever get delivered to the counter followed by an in store order that takes another 30 minutes and STILL isn't brought out. Staff aren't attending to any meaningful tasks and seem to have no idea of how to move efficiently in any capacity. Orders that do come out have a deficiency rate well over 50% from my experience, and with no visible attempts to improve, this is by far the worst McDonalds nationally if not globally from what I've seen. read more

McDonald's - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Very nice of McDonald's to give out free breakfast for school employees.  I visited during McDonald's Free Thank You Meals to Educators promotion. This was a weeklong event and I tried 2 meals. Bacon and egg biscuit featured a fresh and fluffy biscuit with a mild slightly sweet flavor.  Eggs were scrambled with a light egg flavor.  Bacon was crispy with a savory flavor.  Good breakfast. Sausage biscuit featured a fresh and fluffy biscuit with a mild slightly sweet flavor.  Sausage was hot and I liked the savory flavor.  Another good breakfast.  This is my favorite as there is more meat and savory flavor. Hash browns were hot and crunchy with a sharp potato flavor.  Good but I prefer the french fries which have a more mild potato flavor. Service was speedy each visit.  I prefer cooking my own breakfast but these meals are good for when I'm on a road trip or too tired to cook. read more

Cannot get Happy Meal orders correct. Ordered two hamburger Happy Meals plain with cheese, since that is what my picky 7 year old eats and they got both wrong. Had to go in and correct it. And they only gave one French fries. read more

They have absolutely poor service. Not only do they take a long time to get the food to the customer, but they did not give me the sweet and sour sauce. This is probably the worst McDonald's I have ever been to. read more

This location is nice because it's open pretty late, but check your order before you leave. Every single time they end up forgetting something. Like without fail. The past 4 times I've always had to go back in because I'm missing an item. read more

Horrible service. Gave me no straws and forgot my fries. Why would McDonald's steal my money. I paid for a complete meal.

Elizabeth provided the best customer service! I strongly recommend this location. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
