I wish I could give zero stars, which I don't like doing but what happened here is inexcusable! Through their automated system, we ordered the hamburger kid's meal. We paid for it (on the right side of the car and left - no waiting. Mom can't eat while riding in the car, so she waited until we arrived at the vet's office. She opened her burger, only to find cheese on it. Since she can't stomach milk, I tried to call the phone number on the receipt to resolve their mistake. Unfortunately, whatever mailbox was full and/or I couldn't leave a message. So now she has to wait until the vet appointment was done before we could go back. This is when I really started to get angry. We used the same line as before, and there were two cars ahead of us. Instead of talking to the automated "lady" again, we just pulled up behind the last car. We waited, and waited, and waited - 20 minutes (at least) until we were at the window. We watched the employee take one walk up person after another, after another, while we waited watched her without even acknowledging our presence. She took three people, plus exchange quarters for dollars. Well, I guess that's where the one star can go. When we finally had her attention, I had to interrupt her as she listed the order from the car behind us. I alerted her to the problem and she apologized and took the whole bag from my mom. When I realized I told her the wrong toppings and got her attention to tell her. That's when I got a dirty look. I understand under pressure and I was the one who made the mistake so that one I'll let slide. Then when we were only handed a burger only, I got her attention again, to let her know there were fries in the bag she took and didn't look into. Then I got another dirty look. That one took it too far. It could be that someone called in, quit, or the other person was new to the job. That said, management needs to learn how to handle whatever staff issues are going on because the average customer simply doesn't care (even though they should!); they want their food in a reasonable amount of time for "fast" food. This visit didn't qualify. read more

Worst service! Manager has no customer service etiquette! They are charging $14 plus tax for these chicken tenders! Waited patiently in line to get a refund and she continued to do everything but address my issue. She ignored me and continued to serve people in the drive thru. I had to tell her I was a customer too and I was addressing this inedible strips they decided were okay to serve. The cashier was also clueless! People in front of me asked multiple times for their drink! They are not that busy to be ignoring people and need to prioritize! I'm a customer who took the time to go through the automated drive thru get crappy food and patiently wait in the walk up line not to hold up the drive thru and she's literally ignoring me! 30 mins to get a refund! Didn't order a burger from here because 99% of the time the bread is stale! Fries changed!! Never going back read more

Staff are really nice! They are very generous with the food portions given. Even the drinks are filled to the brim! I was there with my family yesterday. The service was pretty fast and we ordered through the drive-through. I recommend this location! read more

Very disappointed with my order. The burger looked nothing like the ad--it was poorly put together and didn't resemble what was advertised at all. The presentation was a bad representation of the food, and it really took away from the experience. read more

I stopped by today to order two items. While waiting in line, I noticed two other orders were messed up. When I opened our bags, both our burgers were missing items ,mine was missing an entire patty from a double cheeseburger. My fiancé didn't want to say anything because the line was long and we had already waited a while, but I asked to have my burger fixed. The first employee said no problem, but another stepped in and challenged me, insisting that's how it was ordered and refusing to fix it. I decided not to push the issue and accept the food as it was I decided I didn't want them to touch any food I'd be consuming after that interaction. Terrible service definitely won't be returning read more

This place was pretty good - good enough that we came back almost everyday! and it was our farewell meal before leaving the area. Can't say too much about the entire menu but their chicken tenders were a huge hit with the group and their icee/slushie were decent too. The orange dream tasted like a creamsicle pop, the watermelon slush was tasty and refreshing without that artificial watermelon taste you get in Jolly Ranchers, and the raspberry sort of tastes like the Icee. Their funnel cake fries are on another level. You'll be addicted to it before you know it with its hot, chewy texture and powdered sugar. Pro tip: Ask for extra sugar. Just make sure to clean yourself up afterwards, lol. Their ordering system uses AI, which can be a hit or miss taking orders. We made a huge order and the AI missed one item. When our order was brought to us (they had us park to the side), the employee forgot an item. We got out and reminded them + ordered our missing item. If you don't have time, this can be an issue. Pro tip: Check your order before you go. It seems to be a common problem here. Despite these small issues, this place is fast and efficient. The employees were pleasant to deal with and nice too. Back home, we are still dreaming of those funnel fries... read more

5 for 5, not so bad for the price! Everything is pretty small 160z drink Double cheeseburger- small, but it's decent Chicken bites - crunchy comes w/one sauce Fries- yum crunchy and seasoned And an apple pie- hot yummy! read more

You know what you're getting into food-wise when eating here, mediocre at best mostly. The wait for a fast food place is atrocious when waiting to order. On the plus side they do stay open later than many other establishments. read more

The only reason I go to this location is because it's the nearest one to me. I love the fries and the burgers aren't bad either. What does not do it for me is the customer service. They are rude af and they don't care either! Tried to give me a half poured cup of soda...can you fill it to the top please? Than give me a dirty look like how dare I ask! No smile or thank you, just another customer. Must have been a long, hard day. read more

Horrible customer service the young man at the drive-through. Is rude needs some customer service classes he doesn't greet you or say anything at all. Just stares at you doesn't say a word. I went on 10/30/2025 around 530 pm. People like this shouldn't be working in customer service if they don't know how to greet customers and stare not saying a word. Very disappointed I used to go there all the time, but I will not be returning. read more

The drive thru has the new AI ordering system. Has me feeling like Joel Osteen. Funny he was in a film called AI, and my sixth sense telling me to pop in for a live person. It surprisingly got my order right, but I felt like it took a bit longer than if I had spoken with a real person I ordered for a group of people that all got similar things. They forgot one of my fries, so I had to park and get down to tell them at the window. read more

Stopped by for a quick night bite after drinks and was deeply disappointed by their large loaded fries. They were too salty to eat and I love salt but goodness gracious were they loaded with SALT! Someone needs to lay off the salt salt shaker. Don't know if I'll go back just do to that but their regular fries never disappoint. Ordered some wings, regular fries and the loaded fries and the wings were just ok. Seems like the service here has definitely declined in flavor. Service through drive through was ok. Had to wait about 10 minutes for chicken wings which I still don't complain about but the salty loaded fries really was a disappointment. You can do better Rally's! Based on the other reviews I read down below, it's seems like more than one person can agree that these loaded fries are soo Salty they probably cause bloating and swelling the following day. Please beware and don't order these fries!!! read more

Rally's - Loaded fries is a NO NO--- too salty!! Read the reviews!! - Burgers Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Got food from here today, it was absolutely horrible. The drive through had an ai generated responder which is how I knew it would be horrible. Then I got a near $12 meal which consisted of a chicken sandwich, fries, and I suppose a large drink. The fries were EXTREMELY dry and tasted like something you'd get from a dollar tree store. The chicken sandwich was very stretchy and hard to chew, almost like it was fake. The drink was the only good thing, but I mean how could you mess up a fountain drink. ALSO! They only allow 1 sauce PER ORDER. I had ordered a meal for myself and another individual and we were given the smallest container of sauce.. They say it was 25-50c for another sauce... I was EXTREMELY disappointed with my food and now my stomach rolls in nausea as I write this review. Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE place! At least the one here! If you're thinking about getting food here, think of the chick-fil A down the street cause it's cheaper and WAYYY better! Everything needs to improve! Service too because I had to repeat things multiple times! PS The lettuce is not good either.. read more

First time trying Rally's, the food was great, but the portion was barely enough, and it was a bit overpriced for fast food. I ordered 5 tenders and 5 lemon pepper wings plus a drink. It came out to almost $25 Tenders were so small, they packed 5 pieces in a tiny box, and my box for wings also the same way. Sadly I could go to Wingstop or any fast food chains for better deal on wings and chicken even if they're not specialized in wings. So I can see the big disadvantage here for Rally's if they want to compete and survive because you don't see a lot of Rally's left out there anymore, soon they will probably jump ship. Fix it please. Your food was good enough, just need to adapt. read more

We came here once before and should've known better. The first time we came, the workers were rude and although there was no one in line- it took forever. We got home and the sauces we requested weren't even in the bag. Today marks the last time this place will receive our business. We went for a quick bite to hold us off until dinner. The total ended up being almost $30, but I didn't think anything of it since prices are always going up. Finally checked the bag and found 5 orders of Mozerella Sticks, instead of my one. Makes sense why it cost so much now. Well, we went back to get a refund- but because they "can't take the food back, Rally's can't do a refund". I managed a fast food spot and customer service has always held a 5-star rating for us. Then again, reading the reviews... apparently they really don't do refunds here. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Rally's use to be one of the go to fast food places back when I was in high school. I remember their fries, apple pie, and burgers being really good for fast food. However after ordering today, they have dramatically fallen off. I don't think I'll ever crave or want to eat here again unfortunately. I ordered their crispy chicken sandwich which was just a major disappointment and then their chili cheese fries were bland and I don't know what type of meat they used in their chili but it looked weird. The food was just no where close to hitting the spot smh. read more

The service is absolutely horrible. They forgot things in my order which made me turn around and come get and then he asked me to give him the bag because he said he put it in the bag & didn't believe me. & mind you the bag was filled to the top already making the bag already heavy. He handed the already filled bag, no fuller and it completely ripped and fell on the floor. He didn't apologize to me & instead asked me if I wanted him to remake the food. I mean, No duh ! I will never come back. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. Last customer in line for the night --waited patiently for my food 20 minutes. The pictures speak for themselves but the cheese sticks were oily--I could taste the oil. Charged extra for ranch and not one sauce in my bad. Ordered funnel cake fries and someone dowsed the fries in powdered sugar and they were soggy. Never going back again read more

I loooove rally's! However this location really sucks. The kid with the speech impediment was really nice, (there was a fat kid who hated his life and was really rude the first time I went there). The light was flickering outside though and gave me a headache. We ordered a chicken strip meal, burger loaded fries, wings, milkshake, and regular fries, but did not receive our chicken strips or milkshake. The guy said the milkshake machine was finishing up a cycle and would be ready in a few minutes, so we parked but it took FOREVER. We ended up leaving and didn't notice we were missing the strips until we got home. Sadly disappointed in this place because the location on Main Street in El Cajon is amazing, the chicken is never over done, they're nice, and work quickly. Two stars because the kid who took our order was nice. read more

Inmates running the asylum. Nobody over 25 years old inside. While we were waiting in line 4 people wearing Rallys uniforms walked out with bags of food. 25 minutes to get through the drive through -- only one of two drive throughs were open. Fries were room temperature. They replaced the fries with fries that were warm, compared to the previous ones. Get home to discover the drink was plain soda water -- no Barq's syrup at all. With gas at $6 / gallon I'm not driving back tonight to get my drink taken care of read more

I've been going to this Rally's since it opened in the 90s I think... And while the surrounding businesses have changed since that time, this fast food joint has managed to remain, which I think is a testament to the value and loyalty customers have for this franchise. Today, I rolled in at about 1230pm on a Friday. There were several cars in the drive thru lines and a small line at the window. I still managed to put in my order, pay and get my food in about 5mins! The usual turnaround on orders is nothing short of amazing if you bother to notice. How do they do it? Well this Rally's, like many of their other locations, features a double drive-thru! After placing your order, I admit It can be a bit of a stretch to reach across your passenger side seat to hand your money and receive the goods. It can be done, but it's far easier to have a passenger perform these transactions for you. Otherwise you should stick to the usually longer right-side drive thru line. Of course the breaded fries are a winner to those in the know. I've spent many evenings in this drive-thru just to satisfy someone's craving for Rally's fries. My burger favs here are the Big Bufford and the Baconzilla. Just keep in mind This is not where you go for grass-fed burgers on brioche with a touch aioli. There are plenty of those kind of places around lately, several of which I do enjoy from time to time. Rally's is a fast food burger joint that aims to do a decent and consistent job of serving up tasty food quickly. Stop by and give Rally's a try if you're in the area. It shouldn't take you long in the drive thru! read more

Ah Rally's, I see your checker flag motif and dual-lane drive-thru burger shack. I'm glad you're around, but conveniently far enough away so I don't always have to get one of my fave fast food fries. Since I don't frequent this spot, I'll have to park and stare at the walk-up menu instead of holding up the drive-thru line. So many options: 4 for $3 combos, 2 for $6 burgers, $1 classic cones, 99¢ apple pies. And I just noticed Kool-Aid slushies. Service was prompt and friendly and just before the family lunch rush as the patio tables filled up. Not too sketchy in the daytime. I only noticed a homeless dude wearing full length fleece pajamas pushing a shopping cart and having a conversation with no one. Lunch was good. Big Buford combo will tide me over, but I probably should have not eaten all those tasty fries to save room for dessert. read more

Rally's - Big Buford combo. Add bacon 99¢ upcharge. - Burgers Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I used to come here all the time but the last two days has made me very unlikely to come here again any time in the forseeable future. The first incident was when I got a Postmates order for this location. Now, I admit that it was during a lunch rush, and a bit longer wait times are to be expected compared to non-peak hours. But this order was pre-paid, not especially complicated or large, and I was about 7 minutes away when I got the order. So after I arrived it took at least a good 5 minutes before I got a chance to let them know I was there to pick that up. The cashier told me it would be about 5 minutes, I thought to myself "ok... should have been done or close to it already but... whatever." So I waited, and waited and waited. Finally after 25 minutes of standing there, they call my name, no apologies for the epic fail, nothing. I delivered to my customer, profusely apologizing for someone else's epic fail that I had no control over and went about my day. Then, for who knows what reason, maybe the memories of all the times I'd been here before in my old neighborhood, I stopped in the following night to get something for myself since I was in the neighborhood. That's when I saw the very nasty looking counter that you see in the images I posted. If they are so unconcerned with the cleanliness of thw area visible to the customer, God knows what it looks like on the inside, and that opinion is from someone with the experience in the industry to have a fairly valuable opinion on the subject. These two things tell me that this place is being grossly mismanaged, and at this rate, they will be continuing to slide further into Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares territory, which cant be fixed without a complete reckoning which almost always requires a mass firing and/or managerial change. read more

We love rally's, it's our one fast food weakness. With a large 6 person family, it really helps with the Decent prices and actual a little better than okay food. We're usually foodies, but this is our one jam outside of the typical 4- 5 star places. Plus, during this time, drive thru food, makes this place perfect for avoiding other people.

In the battle of chicken sandwiches this one is the looser. Thin party, over cooked and dry dry dry.

Make sure you get your credit card back! Because if you happen to not realize they didn't hand it back to you until after you drive off, you'll never see it again. I was shocked when I went to leave a review here and saw that it happened to someone else just a month ago. Who else had lost a credit card to this Rallys that we don't know about. I dont even live closeby this location so I called to stop the card right away. Then called the rallys to ask if my card was there, which I know it was because that was the only time I used it that day and I never got a receipt for my food, which would have come with my card. The guy who answered sounded like he was looking for it and asked some people. Then he said to call back in an hour and the other drive thru person would be back and he can ask. I find it odd that there is no standard policy of where to put items left by customers. Or is every cashier just a keeper of what they find? So I waited and called back... and when I did,no one picked up. I tried multiple times for half an hour. Nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if they block numbers that call about left items after they tell the person to call back. I just find it hard to believe that you are that busy at 2:30pm that you can't pick up. What kind of restaurant business is run like that. Needless to say, my beloved card is gone. Guess this complaint needs to go to corporate. Shame on you Rallys on Jamacha. SHADY!!!!! read more

I would give it 3.5 if it let me But I feel like that's too generous lol i just want to support them beacuase this was always the goto back when I stayed super close that Mcd's or jack etc. rallys was just something different compared to what was around there i like their fries they dont tend to mess those up. around 2018-2020 they had a ice cream desert called a stacker which would be like $3 and a chicken bites box $5 which me and my friends would get almost all the time. ive gotten 4 stackers to myself just to tell u how good they were i only weigh 135lbs haha i felt sick after though just from all that icecream. Once they took away those away ive never really gone back or thought, "i want rallys" how i used to. all other food is ok gotten a salty chiken sandwhich before; YOU WILL wait long for your food whether you order ahead, go thru drive thru or walk to the window. even if you are food delivery.. you will wait. all employees cool though never heard or had and disrespect. They have automated robot at drive thru though which can be annoying to me personally. especially when they cant answer specific questions. read more
