I really like the decor and vibe in this McDonald! The furniture is fresh and it's not your typical McDonald's dining room. Even though I ordered on the app for takeout, you'll want to dine in! read more

They say they're open 24/7 but they are always closed when I go late in the night. False advertising.

EXTREMELY unfortunate experience this morning here. We ordered a LARGE iced vanilla latte. The latte was handed to us in a medium cup. On the ticket order it stated large. We asked why it was in a medium cup and the women at the window decided to argue that the medium cup was a large. However it wasn't. Instead of being offered the CORRECT size coffee for what we paid for she continued to argue. Will never be returning to this location. Extremely unprofessional & ridiculous. read more

They oreo mc flurry are fantastic. Extra oreo free!! You can even have them delivered by grubhub. They are fast too.

i ordered a coke slushie they said they didn't have it so i replaced it with a coke and they never bring it out. I tried asking the manager and he kept telling me to sit back down and saying it's not ready so i just left. I waited for a whole hour just to fill up a fountain drink which was very frustrating. Honestly this was one of the worst experiences ive had at mcdonald's. read more

This is a very fancy and swanky McD's that has been certainly upgraded from what it was before - relatively high-tech and spacious with plenty of tables to sit at and kiosks to order from. Food is also great, service of course prompt, and they were also including Sonic 3 toys with their Happy Meals. Also for reviews on some of the other McDs nearby in SD, the Del Mar Highlands one gets customers take care of via the drive-thru 4-5x faster compared to other locations! That alone could be worth the visit or wait (or lack thereof)! read more

Having eaten snacks at the movies I needed a bite to eat for dinner. yay! this Mc Donald's in Del Mar had Mc Rib, my holiday go to meal. Placed carefully in its boxed container it was in good condition once we arrived "home." Tangy sauce with some slivers of onion and a ridged patty in an elongated bun, chomp just right for me. We ordered through the drive through window which is as easy as it gets. Happy Holidays! read more

My daughter found a CIGARETTE BUTT in her happy meal fries!! We ordered from the drive-thru .... And, while the service was fine and the staff he seemed friendly., finding the cigarette butt was absolutely disgusting..... definitely put my daughter off of not just McDonald's but french fries in general for the foreseeable future! GROSS McDonald's staff, please please please check your pockets before cooking ! read more

I haven't been to a McDonalds in forever, but I needed to get a gift card. Upon entering there was a family in front of me...who seemed to be having issues with a promo....that took almost 10 minutes to figure out. As soon as I got to the register, the guy leaves and no one comes back to the register for almost 15 minutes....i really was about to leave, but didn't have time to try to find another McDonald's. Finally, the guy returns seemed annoyed I was there... I asked for a gift card and after another 5 minutes finally was able to leave. I will never be coming back to this location . read more

Don't ever order the bacon at MCD! Their menu is confusing, they literally now charge 100% more for one strip and complicate it by naming it half strips. Deceptive marketing at its core. read more

Bad service with a bad attitude. Today, the lady who handled my order made several mistakes and then acted as if it was my fault. When I tried to point out the errors, she rudely dismissed me. On top of that, my order was still incorrect, some items were not prepared as requested. read more

Why you would ever downgrade from the once-fantastic and unique interior (painted ceiling murals, fancy booths, framed mirrors, pop art, golden sinks, etc) back to a regular ol' McDonalds is completely beyond me. They stripped out everything interesting about this location in the name of modernity or standardization. Soulless. Enjoy ordering from a kiosk, and being ignored by the employees, just like every other location. Ba da ba ba ba...I'm not lovin' it. read more

I don't know if it was because of the place reopening, but they were unable use my drive thru code at the drive thru to redeem a free sandwich. It was a frustrating situation for me and the person taking my order, but they did stay patient and ask me to repeat it multiple times just to verify. Just when I thought they were going to rob me of my free mcChicken sandwich (my points were expiring soon), the manager who was at the next window confirmed that the system was being finicky and gave me a mcChicken sandwich free of charge after I showed her my points screen. Even though the mcChicken sandwich may not seem all that much, they went the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction and I'm all for that. (Please still fix the system though) read more

I cannot properly explain how upsetting my experience at this McDonald's was. At 3 pm on a Tuesday afternoon I came to grab a quick bite during my short lunch break and the employees here genuinely spoiled my appetite with the service they provided. They had me waiting at the drive-thru for 7 minutes after receiving part of my order while FOUR cars drove past me. I was waiting for a DRINK ??? Don't go here. There are multiple McDonalds a few miles away from here that deserve your business more. read more

we're very rude and we went through the drive-through and we tried to get water and then we waited for like 10 minutes with the window closed and when we asked him about it again, they try to make us think it was our fault and we asked for it when we initially order too very rude customer service. read more

McDonald's - Quarter Pounder with Cheese - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Not the worst spot, but not the best anymore. I ordered two spicy MCchickens and some fries. And asked specifically for a few packets of their sweet n sour sauce and paid extra. They didn't give me any...Huge disappointment there. They need to communicate better to the customers. Did they run out? Say so next time before a customer pays extra for them. The sandwiches were yummy, but some yellow brown lettuce was in it and wayyy too much mayo. I also must say their newest spicy mcchickens aren't spicy at all-- the ones they had years ago was a tad more 'spice' level. read more

I come to this McDonald's almost every week to get breakfast before work or during my break and the drive thru staff is always friendly and has never messed up my order. The brunette with glasses taking orders in the drive thru (I don't know her name) always has a good attitude no matter how busy they are or how early in the day it is. Kudos to her! :) read more

Fifteen years ago, I would have given this McDonald's 4-stars. It was a McCafé then, an experimental concept with a clubby dining room, gelato (which was pretty good), panini, and pasta dishes ... in addition to a regular McDonald's menu. It was the first place to serve the coffee drinks one sees in McDonald's today. Sadly, all that has been gone for a long time now, and this is just another tired McDonald's. I'll review again after its remodel this summer. read more

This used to be a McCafé concept store that has been here for many many years. Recently, they literally razed the entire building to the ground and built a new one. That probably wasn't totally necessary as the last building was pretty nice, but I digress! The new McDonald's isn't anything particularly special, although it is new, bright, and airy inside. I encountered very friendly employees (4 star service) and the food is McDonald's! One complaint: they used to have some power outlets, but the new building doesn't have any except for one that is not at a table. read more

McDonald's - Nice brand new McDonald's building. - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

The employees here are now totally incompetent and cannot handle anything. Tried to order breakfast this morning at the drive-thru but there were three cars in the left order lane and one car in the right lane. So, I went to the right lane thinking it would be faster. Took forever for them to take the order of the one car in front of me. I moved up and it again took forever with nothing going on and I finally said that I am ready to order. The lady then said to me, if you are ready then drive up to the window. I attempt to drive up to the first window and, of course, there are three cars in front of me all not moving. I then hear the same order lady take the order of the car that was waiting back at the menu kiosks in the other lane. I guess me saying that I am ready, means they just skip me? I decided that they are not capable of handling 5 cars at a time and I drove off. Do not come here if there are multiple customers already waiting. I suggest ordering online only. read more

This McDonald's is located on the northern end of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center just off of Del Mar Heights Rd. I've been wanting to check this place out for quite some time. The interior was indeed fancier than your usual McDonald's. However, I came here early evening on a Friday. The place was packed with what appeared to be either grade school or high school kids. I guess it's a good place to hangout after school. I placed my order on the mobile app using the deal where I purchased 1 quarter pounder with cheese at regular price and got a second one for 29 cents. read more

The nicest looking McDonald's I remember been in very very long time. It is really pretty design (the paintings, the chairs, the yellow and charcoal color palette...). It is extremely clean and service was courteous. It looks pretty new to me and if it is not, is definitively well preserved. Young crowd mixed with business people, interesting blend. Order came fast and hot but for some reason the flavor and built of my Big Mac sandwich was not as great as I remember from other locations, so that was kind of strange, but overall a great restaurant that does look a bit different and more upscale. read more

Terrible experience !! got there right at lunchtime. There was about 20 or 30 elementary kids at the register each of the bags of cash one employee at the register some kid with glasses look like he was lost all by himself no other registers being manned When I finally got up there to order the food. The kid with the glasses looked at me like I was speaking French! Terrible Customer Service eight bucks for a cheeseburger with nothing on it and french fries. Totally ridiculous! Save yourself some time and money don't even think about this location! read more

Terrible service first the guy at the drive through window takes my code but doesn't enter it then said he did, then read my order back to me a still managed to get my order wrong & I didn't get my free hash brown read more

The Ritz Carlton on McDonalds locations! This place is fancy. The furniture and decor are not what you'd expect at a McDonalds. The food is the same. Service is excellent and parking is easy - sorry no valet available. lol There are art pieces on display and fancy drapes on the windows. I've never seen pillars inside a McDonalds! I'll be back again when in the area. Sweet Tea and french fries. Fries before guys! read more

*** 2 for $5 *** offered here! FYI, that's $5.39 after tax. Desperate times calls for desperate food. Especially if you're just looking for fast food to tie you over until a dinner meeting later in day. This McD used to be a big deal in this area when it opened (what feels like) centuries ago. It was so modern and hip. Then it turned into some soft of McD Bistro. The food here as been a hit or miss (no shocker for any McD location). Drive thru is usually efficient but has long lines during peak hours. There's also a children's play center outside. They did aways with the $1.69 Fish o Filet Fridays. BUT, you can now order a discounted FoF with the 2 for $5 here ! I think there are four items you can choose from. I stopped by for a quick lunch and ordered fish filet and 10 piece nuggets. The cashier was friendly and super quick. My food came out promptly and she even added two iced waters on the tray for me when I quicked requested it last min. I've had the FoF from this location and it's been decent or it's sucked. This time it was alright (esp with extra tartar sauce - don't judge). The chicken nuggets tasted freshly fried which makes a world of difference. It was a 'hit the spot' meal for me. And for only $5 bucks. Well, $5.39 after tax. So take advantage of this 2 for $5 while it's being offered. read more

I was at the restaurant, asked for the spicy chicken sandwich, i said to the seller very clear and I repeated myself to make sure he understand me to add the all vegetables inside the sandwich, and i got nothing!! just the chicken and that's it, in addition to that the chicken was rare and terrible!! What happened to this brand??! Zero customer service! read more

This location is nice and clean. Staff is friendly but the downside is they push customer's to use the kiosk. It's difficult for the elderly and other customer's to navigate, they suppose to open one registers for cash payment. Not all people used cards to pay. I understand some places now are cutting the costs. However, the kiosk is inconvenient for some costumers. read more

Wish I could give it one star. I don't say that much but the service here sucked. It was fine when I ordered my food and got it but what happened after turned around the whole experience for me. Their ketchup dispenser exploded all over my hand and got on my dress. When I told the employee at the register he just stared at me like I wasn't making any sense. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt but I showed him my ketchup covered hand and he still didn't say anything- didn't apologize or offer something for my inconvenience. Luckily I was able to wipe off the spots on the dress bc I had wipes but just because of that rudeness I WOULD NEVER COME BACK TO THIS ONE. I'm usually laid back about things like this but the reaction was just plain annoying. read more

I usually don't review on chains as food is pretty much exact at all locations but i had never seen a McDonald's like this one so i just cant help myself, hehe. I think this location either tried to salvage what this restaurant use to be before it became McDonalds or they made it a bit more fancy due to it's location of the neighborhood but it's like a mix of a diner like. The decor is quite nice and relaxing and they actually give you a number so they bring your food to you. The employees at this location were also a bit more pleasant than some that I go to. Even the bathroom had a cool looking sink, lol. So if you want to head over to a McDonald's with the fancier feel, this would be the place hehe. read more

The food came out incredibly fast, all the staff were friendly, and the whole McDonald's was clean.

I went there before work got a #2 with a Diet Coke the hash brown was frozen there were egg shells in the sandwich, and the Diet Coke was watered down. Honestly not a good experience. read more

Why people feel the need to compare McDonald's do anything is beyond me. It's McDonald's! But if you want to compare this McDonald's to other McDonald's, without a doubt this particular store ranks up in the top! I've lived in this area for quite sometime and have been coming here since I moved here. They are consistently pretty busy, but despite the mad rushes in the morning, afternoon and evening, they manage to handle the crowds and get your order quick, fresh and correct. I actually frequent this McDonald's on just about a daily basis and anyone who knows me, knows I'm not exaggerating when I say that. And before you judge, 98% of the time, I am here to order an iced tea. Before you laugh, I live off iced tea (unsweetened) and McDonald's brews theirs fresh with a particular brand (Farmer Brothers) which I find very good. Furthermore, you can't beat the price and convenience! I can drive thru, pick up a couple large for less than what I would spend at Starbucks for one and the Starbucks doesn't have a drive thru. And it's fresh every time I go. As for the rest of the menu, well, if you haven't tried their french fries or a burger I would guess that you come from another planet. While I don't subscribe to a daily diet of McDonald's, they do serve quite a bit that much to some people's surprise, is actually quite fine for the diet. I'm a breakfast person and the Egg White Delight (260 calories) is delicious and quite filling. Again, I don't someone should eat here every day, but for the price, you can't deny the great taste from their burgers and nobody makes fries better than McDonald's. And throughout the years, the Filet-O-Fish sandwich has never changed and continues to be a great sandwich. Love them or not, the food at McDonald's has maintained their consistency for the 45+ plus years I've been going and from any location throughout the U.S. and around the world. But compared to other McDonald's, this is one of the best from their cleanliness to the courteous people who work behind the counter. They always have a friendly greeting and do everything to make your experience pleasant, even in the drive thru. They work incredibly hard here to handle the rush crowds. Sometimes cars are lined up 10 or more cars but be assured, it will move quickly. If you are ever in the area and craving McDonald's (we all have that craving once in awhile) give this store a try and you'll enjoy the service as much as you enjoy the food. read more
