It's McDonalds. I'm sure you don't need a review to know what to expect from it. Anyhow, this McDonald's was a hit. My food came out quick and it was nice and tasty. Good affordable food means good service. McDonald's has the best frappes. Most consistent drink out there. Starbucks should take notes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fairly early so it was nice and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ba da ba ba ba I'm loving it. read more

McDonald's - Caramel Frapp - Fast Food Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I was told I must drink my coffee, inside and not in my car in the parking lot in order to get a refill, due to theft. I've been coming here for years and the staff knows me. I told them that I've been in the car and they said "we know." The manager was not there and they were probably just following his order BUT they could've just given me my usual refill and been done with it, instead of creating an issue. Under no circumstance, is anyone here telling me where to sit, in order to get served. I DO NOT answer to anyone working here. I'm a CUSTOMER and NOT AN EMPLOYEE !!! McDonald's theft problem, isn't my problem and I'm not going to be inconvenienced over it. I'm a Seal Beach resident who's been eating here for years. I never had any problems until the previous owner, Kevin, sold to the current owners. They can't seem to get their doors open at the posted time. They'll open at 6:20-6:30 AM or just whenever they want to; this has been going on for months. They've got a management problem here. I'll never come here again. read more

Seal Beach McDonald's is horrible. First it took 5 times, literally to take our order. Then when we got to the windows they screwed up our order again with a nice nasty attitude. They never did get our meal right but we just gave up. Then after her nasty attitude wanted to charge us for bbq sauce. Will not be back. read more

Seal Beach McDonald's (on PCH by Main) is still my favorite McDonald's! I grew up with McD's and even worked there during High School and College (Company not Franchise stores)! This store has the nicest staff! Food is hot and fresh (for McD's). Coffee is fresh and hot even decaf. Most times when I order decaf in the morning, other places tend to be old and strong! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great and easy place to pick-up or dine in for breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I always use the App and the food is ready quickly. This time, I used the points for the breakfast sandwich and only paid for the coffee! Highly recommend the App. read more

The people who work at this Mc Donald's are extremely rude and disrespectful. Every time I come to this Mc Donald's I get somebody who's just having a bad day or they just hate their job. If you dislike your job go find a new job don't take it out on your customers! Is it so hard to ask Hey, how are you or Hi how can I help you? I drive up to the window or intercom and get "What do you want?" "DO YOU WANT YOUR RECEIPT?" And they always have a rude tone. Like do better has some common courtesy. It's very unpleasant whenever I come to this Mc Donald's I honestly always try to avoid it but this time it hit a nerve, read more

Ordered via App. Busy during lunch hrs but still relatively fast. Friendly staff. No issues with ordering or the double cheeseburgers I ordered for the kiddos before heading out to Bolsa Chica Beach. read more

McDonald's - DriveThru - Fast Food Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Good bye Seal Beach McDonalds. After many years of giving repeated chances, we just can not do this to ourselves anymore- pay lots of hard earned money for luke warm food and barely warm, mostly cold fries. Put our hands in the bag at window where we pick up food and fries barely warm. So tired of asking for hot fries and waiting off to the side. In a rush so said nothing this time, plus long line behind us (so fries should have been fresh and hot). We all did not enjoy our cold, greasy fries nor food and decided we were done with this Seal Beach location as they do not follow McD's strict quality control of hot food nor do they care-at all- as no heat from the food bag so they knew and still served. :( read more

Shout out to the staff here, I saw the boss HUSTLING during the dinner rush and I've been in food service so I gotta give props to the big boss for his work ethic. He was prepping mobile orders, handling the drive thru, and his staff helped serve me with little haste on the dine in side. Every location is different thankfully they sell just the toys (limit 2 per person thankfully) and I snagged 2 I was missing LAST ONE OF EACH! Normally wouldn't spend my time on a review for McDonald's lol but between my joy for these toys and the good work ethic I saw from the staff, yall deserve the positive love so I'll add to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the inside was very clean and it's close to the beach so not a bad detour (I needed the bathroom lol) again keep up the awesome job! :D[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

McDonald's - Shout out to this McDonald's for the Yugioh - Fast Food Near Me - Seal Beach, California

This location is so badly managed it's unbelievable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining room is dirty, bathrooms dirty and manager is rude.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Somebody needs to train manager on customer service or better yet, FIRE HIM. Urge everybody to stay from McDonalds at Seal Beach. read more

The food was Hot and quick! Nuggets were light and fluffy and the fries were fresh. Coca Cola always on point.

Multiple times order on app for curbside and food never delivered to car after five to ten minutes after app says it is ready Have to go inside to get order and then because food has been waiting so long it is cold read more

At the moment it is sad that theirs icecream machine is down already for 2 months during the hot summer days. With a main location like this you need the icecream working today even the milkshakes were off line.. read more

After ordering, I asked for a cup of hot water. The cashier, a women with glasses who never greet me, with a stoned face, informed me it would cost $ 1.99 for a cup of hot water. "We can't give it to you for free." She said. That was a derogatory remark, couple with a bad attitude I just paid for a fish filet. It is discounted on Fridays. No one warned me the service would be discounted, too. People don't have my permission to speak to me as if I were trying to get free stuff. read more

I'm a cyclist and I stopped in to grab a coke. A lazy ass employee sitting down eating a burger tells us sorry no bikes in a rude way. My bike cost 15 you think I feel comfortable leaving it outside just to grab a coke. Horrible service. read more

literally just left and came home to 2 cold apple pies. Thanks a lot guys. What an actual joke. You couldn't even f*cking warm them? Zero stars read more

My friend and I have a long standing tradition of going to McDonald's every Friday for filet of fish and an ice cream cone. We take them to the pier to enjoy. The ice-cream machine has been DOWN ALL SUMMER. it's time to BOYCOT. read more

Pretty bad. Doesn't seem up to par with standard operating procedures. Fries were burnt, hard as a rock and unseasoned. Not up to standard Mickey Ds fries. Quarter pounder with cheese, one of my favorite burgers, was drenched in ketchup, basically all I could taste was ketchup and onions, didn't taste like the royale with cheese I knew. Won't come back to this location. read more

Every time I come in here I get a water cup with my food, and every time it's just a water. I hold up the cup to show the workers it's just water, but today he would not give me one but he was giving one to other customers! we asked why everyone else except us was getting water and he said "I get to choose who I give water to". Keven was very rude and he's supposed to be a manager. Do not recommend. read more

I've been going to McDonald's since the 70s, and it still feels special. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy sitting with my coffee in the morning and reading the paper.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's simple pleasures like this that make life sweet. read more

Walked in and out. 9pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is filthy and smelled like a dead rat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food spilled tables all over the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If McDonalds ever wonders why sales suffers in many locations, this location is your poster child. Ruins it for other locations even if they are independently owned read more

OK McDonald's. I understand that food has to shrink a little in order to make ends meet, but a fish filet for $5.99 should NOT be THIS small!!!! My once in a while McDonald's treat is now out the door. Gotta find a new guilty pleasure. read more

McDonald's - Ridiculous excuse for a fish Filet-O-Fish - Fast Food Near Me - Seal Beach, California

*This review is primarily for their spicy chicken sandwich Chik fila was closed so I decided to try McDonalds spicy chicken sandwich. Overall i was pretty pleased with it and recommend as a nice substitute to get your fix in! Bun: 3/5 Chicken: 4/5 Sauce: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 Chicken was surprisingly juicy for a fast food joint (better than kfc). Sauce had a nice delicious kick too. Bun was a little stiff but crisp pickles made up for it. read more

McDonald's - Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal - Fast Food Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Food. Its McDonald's so no need for review on that. My biggest complain is inside the facility when you dine in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This McDonald's has to be the dirtiest McDonald's I have ever been to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And its in Seal Beach where there isnt that many customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please clean the tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Some of the worst service i have seen at a McDonald's. The short hispanic manager working today is absolutely atrocious. I've had multiple experiences with her managing and it's always an extremely long wait. She just stands around and barks orders to all the employees and they all look very unmotivated and move very slowly. The manager also marks all the tickets as NOW SERVING so corporate thinks she is handling the orders on time. I will be definitely be talking to corporate about her behavior. She puts the receipts on the stainless steel shelf where the food that's ready to serve goes. I'll never waste my time with this place again. read more

Average "Mikki Dees" . Sometimes out of some selections like shakes or desserts . The app doesn't work here either at times so you can't use rewards which is frustrating. Service is good for pickups and quick. No ambiance to speak of. read more

One star for Alba back there on the grill. Came in tonight and this worker was so rude and unprofessional, messed up my order. No onions, mean no orders. Why is she still here? I have worked in fast food, so I get it.......but come on Alba, do better! read more

This McDonalds has saved me many times. Both the drive-thru as well as the line in store is fast, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the A/C is always blowing inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the food is always consistently good, and the self-order kiosks are efficient and fast. read more

I come in here a lot at around 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. The manager is very nice and he trained his crew very well. 95% of my ordering is done through the mobile app and the crew gets it right all the time. read more

The Happy Meal Sprite had zero syrup flavoring. It was just plain soda water. They charged $3.79 for a medium French fry. Seriously???!!! I'm looking at the McD's website and the listed price for a medium fry is half that price. Ok. My bad for not checking the price when they quoted me $14 for a McNugget Happy Meal, Med Fry and a cheeseburger. But how hard is it to pay attention to the soda fountain. On top of being ripped off for the frys, they were undercooked. I realize I'm paying extra for convenience. I didn't realize I was being ripped off and exploited for convenience. But, it is McDonalds, so I guess I should expect that. So when I looked at the receipt upon arriving home, I was even more aggravated. Granted ; it was July 3rd at the end of the night in Seal Beach. So my expectations were already low. They managed to disappoint me even though I had extra low expectations going in. I would not stop here again for so much as a water. Even if I was dying of thirst. I expected the quality of the food to be bad. After all, it's McDonald's...But I didn't expect them to just flat out rip me off. Keep on driving. In n Out is only a mile or so further north. read more

I've had enough of this location. I ordered a McFlurry, and they kept messing up my order. I discovered that they messed up my order by the time I was home. When I called, the manager named Kevin picked up and had an attitude and was laughing like an idiot. The next thing I heard was that fat, rude manager talking to his coworker and saying oh, it wasn't enough Oreos in the McFlurry, haha. With the way he was acting, he probably wasn't raised with any proper home training. I remember watching the young man who made my McFlurry constantly looking back at me. I had a feeling he might purposely screw with my order because he had to remake it. Let's be honest he would not have stared back several times if he had good intentions. I don't understand why McDonald's continues letting their employees act foolish and unprofessional. If that McFlurry were free, then I wouldn't complain, but I paid for it. There are a lot of retail stores and restaurants closing down, and they should be grateful that they still have customers. It's not like their menu options are that appealing. read more

Rude worker claimed that I was recording when all I was doing was looking down at my phone while waiting for my dad to finish ordering!

the said the ice cream machine was not working, even though one of the workers came over and got ice cream and was eating it then they said the icey machine was broken and then the said they ran out of fries then after they let someone else get a large fries and then I asked for ranch then they said no read more

When I find a restaurant or fast food place, that has an EXCELLENT MANAGER, I always mention it in my reviews. The SEAL BEACH MCDONALDS has a GREAT manager. Her name is SUSY. SUSY keeps everything moving smoothly, even during really busy times. She's always going 100 miles per hour and she is always overseeing and directing the staff, if needed to be sure that all is good. She will roll up her sleeves and jump in at the drive-up window, when needed. My favorite MEAL is the DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER with double bacon. It is DELICIOUS. read more

If I could give this Seal Beach McDonald's zero stars I would, every time I have gone to this chain in this city something is always wrong. Tonight I ordered 4 sandwiches using the app, and the app clearly states limit 4 at 2.50 each. The moron working the pay window over charged me, when I asked her she said it's only for 1 sandwhich @ 2.50 & the rest are regular price.. the app says different. I called the piece of sh*t manager at this location he said "sorry I'll let her know she is wrong, have a goodnight" he didn't offer any refund or come in later and we'll make it right, nothing.. that location is sh*t, and are always ripping people off at this location.. stay far away from this McDonalds.. read more

Worst attitude by the employees. Tried it 3 times and now will never come back. It's a nice area and use to be a good staff... but something has changed. When I asked if they have cinnamon rolls or any sweet rolls.. she looked at me and barely shook her head. I asked if they discontinued them she shrugged staring off . The food isn't good enough to put up with attitude. Try another location. read more
