This is for the Burger King on San Miguel Canyon. June 12, 2026, between 4:30-5:00 pm First, the food was fine. My complaint is about the service: The conversation at the drive through went something like this: -----Can I take your order? "Yes please, I would like a Whopper Jr with cheese" -----Anything else? "Yes please, a small... no, wait..." -----Small fries "No, not fries. A value coke, no ice" -----Anything else? "No, thank you, that's all" ----That will be 10.84 (can't be sure of the exact number because she refused to give me my receipt) At the window -----That's 10.84. "Would you please read my order back to me?" -----No, you tell me what your order is (That's not usually how it's done, but ok) "A Whopper Jr with cheese" -----Yes. "And a value coke, no ice" -----Yes, that's 10.84 "That seems like too much." -----That's what it is Then there was this back and forth, something like -----You rule "But it's too much," several times (not angry, just confused. I make the same order every time and I know it isn't almost $11, but since she had me repeat my order at the window... I was really confused) I handed her my card She gave me my drink and my card I asked for my receipt There were fries on the receipt. (Note: the following isn't exactly what was said, but I wasn't recording it, so it went something like the this:) "Wait, I didn't order fries" -----Yes you did "No. I started to order a small drink, and you said 'small fries,' and I said 'no fries, a value coke with no ice.' -----No, you ordered fries "No, I didn't" -----They come with the meal. "What meal? I didn't order the meal." -----Yes you did. "No, just the Whopper Jr and value coke. And wait, what's this? Why is there a cone on my order? I didn't get a cone" -----You ordered the kid's value meal, but I took off the cone "I didn't order a Meal. Value Coke, not Value Meal" (Maybe she thought I ordered the Cheeseburger Jr. Meal, but can't she tell the difference between that and a Whopper Jr w/Cheese?) Somewhere in all that she told me several times "You rule," which I know is their slogan, but it made no sense in the context of her repeatedly telling me I was just wrong. It was almost like she was trying to get rid of me, but I really have no idea, so I overlooked that. That went on for awhile and she finally refunded me 3.00 cash (for the fries), which brought what I paid down to around 7.80, which was still $1 more than my meal should have cost, but at that point I gave up. Then I asked for my receipt. (This is a very shortened summary of a repetitive back-and-forth discussion) She told me she couldn't give me my receipt I told her I needed it for my statement She told me I would still get my statement I know that, but I told her I needed the receipt to check it against my statement. And she went back to the beginning and told me she couldn't give me my receipt We went around and around about that again. I don't know what she was worried about, but there was no way she was going to give me that receipt I asked to speak with the manager, but she told me that she was the manager. There were now two cars behind me, so I just left. No sense making them wait any longer. How could this have been resolved better? When I told her she got my order wrong, the easiest thing for a manager to do would have been to just void the order and redo it. Or I should have asked for a duplicate receipt, which a manager would know how to do. In fact, I'm surprised now that she didn't just offer that. I know they do it because about 25% of the time they have already printed and tossed my receipt, and when I ask for it, they just print a duplicate. But I did forget to ask that. Now, for a possible explanation (and one that would have easily allowed her to save face): their intercom system doesn't work very well. Maybe it cut out when I said "no, no fries," and if she repeated the order back to me, maybe it cut out while she was doing that so I didn't hear that the order was wrong. Also, either most of the time the display either isn't working at that Burger King (San Miguel Cyn), or they aren't bothering to use it, because if my order had come up on the screen, we could have corrected it then. She was clearly annoyed that I was arguing about the order. Maybe she thought I was calling her a liar, which I was not. But she certainly didn't didn't seem willing to straighten it out. So easy. Just blame it on the intercom, void and redo the order. She saves face and the customer is happy, going away thinking how easily the manager had handled the whole thing. No, I'm not all worked up about a $1 difference. I was frustrated that I wasn't listened to and that she felt that she had to dig in her heels and stand her ground about how wrong the customer was. Not a good look for the business. read more

Burger King - Fly in food - Burgers Near Me - Salinas, California

Bad service. Unfriendly staff with poor attitude. They act like you're interrupting their day if you order food. Friends of the employees cut in line. Some of the employees don't want to return change. Coffee on the menu but they refuse to make it when ordered. The service has gone down for over five years. read more

Almost every time I have gone to this location, there is a problem. Today I mobile ordered in the hope of avoiding one. I ordered a combo meal with a coke and the girl in the drive thru refused to give me the drink. There was a sign saying "out of ice" but not sure this was why she refused. I showed her my order and she still refused. Writing an email to the mobile app customer service now. read more

The lines take for ever because their computers go down and the ice machine is never working.

Worker forgot my chicken nuggets . Terrible customer service. Would never come again. This place will ruin your life. Negative star if I could . read more

I went 15 minutes before closing and they turned us away. I have gone to this location many times and have always received horrible service. If you are closed at 11 or 11:30 then list that online...not that you are closed at 12. Honestly just best to go to any other fast food restaurant in Prunedale. read more

They rarely open on time in the morning, so don't drive out of your way to work. If you pay the dollar to add cheese to your whopper, you have a 50/50 chance of getting it. I've waited 5 minutes in drive thru, the only car, no one inside, no one to take my order. They're either poorly staffed or poorly managed. Unfortunately pretty common fast food scenario for Prunedale. The CC machine key pad is disgustingly, I pointed it out and got a shoulder shrug. read more

Burger King - They rarely remember the cheese you pay for. - Burgers Near Me - Salinas, California

Very poorly run. Waits are always horrible, and it's not that busy. Not sure if they're extremely understaffed, or their manager just doesn't know how to run a place efficiently. But it's been like that for years. I only keep coming back because it's convenient, then I get mad at myself for not driving an extra 10 minutes for a better experience. read more

I just want ordered an iced tea nicely, but the young worker said it has been months since they no longer have ice tea. But in their menu they have sweet and unsweetened iced tea! Once I paid, the kid couldn't hear me because he had an air pod in the opposite side of his head set! Worst service ever! read more

the cashier was very nice and seems like he was still learning how to take orders. we wanted to change something but he had already sent the order and asked for help from a girl working drive through. she was short and wearing a north face sweater, i believe her name was maria. she was very rude to the male cashier and was not being understanding whatsoever. she definitely needs to be more professional when speaking to coworkers in front of customers because she made us feel very uncomfortable. also while eating she was starring us down and making comments. not very professional read more

So I used DoorDash to deliver our order. You forgot one of the items (onion rings) and DoorDash won't refund the $4.74 and of course Burger King is now paying their employees $20 an hour so they won't do anything about it. I remember now why I stopped using the DoorDash app. Hulk is so Sad read more

What ruined my experience was that when employee Yaneth took my order she walked off to pack some orders for the people that were waiting for their food and never completed the transaction so I could pay. A couple of minutes passed before a drive thru employee cane and charged me. From the moment Yaneth left to the moment I received my food she did not take any more orders and the other people that were waiting did not seem very happy either. All together it took over 10 minutes from the moment she took my order to the moment I received my order. There were only two people before me. read more

This place is an embarrassment. Very unprofessional service. I understand it's fast food but try to take some pride in the way you conduct yourself, let alone the way you treat customers. read more

OMG They need to call this place slow food restaurant I can't believe how long you have to wait in the drive-through. The slowest fast food place I have ever been to. And let's see which machine isn't working or what's not being served today 12 minutes in line with only 3 cars ahead of me! Maybe they stay in business being the ONLY drive through on this street!! read more

I order serval things a whopper jr duo and a whopper and a side of chicken fries. The chicken fries were cold and stall like if they were just sitting there for hours. Unsatisfied read more

They never have any of the featured items they haven't had any of the promotional items they have on the menu and are also always out of everything ice soda sauce management is horrible never wear gloves ive tried many times to give multiple chances but i wont be back read more

It's definitely not fast food. Kinda confused why it take 20 minutes to get three cars out. This has been a problem at this location for years read more

Just awful. The manager could careless about quality of the food, accuracy of their delivery and customer service. I ordered the 2 for $5 breakfast and asked for them to be on a biscuit. I received one old biscuit sandwich, which had clearly been sitting under the heat lamps all morning and one on a croissant, which was actually fresh. When I went back the manager was now at the window and said yes you got one and one did you want two? Uh, duh! Don't play me lady. Clearly you were too lazy to make the biscuit. Probably because it takes time. Instead of offering to remake it just just played dumb until I asked for a refund. Horrible service, horrible management. Thank god I'm just visiting. You could learn a thing or two from my BK in San Jose. Smh read more

If I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would. Each and every time I have come to this Burger King location, They are out of some thing. Whether it be burgers or chicken or now, apparently ice. If it wasn't bad enough that you couldn't have burgers at Burger King, but to add to that my order is wrong each and every time. It doesn't matter how many times I repeat myself or how much the staff repeat the order back to me the correct way it's always still wrong. The staff has a hard time following simple direction. Don't even think that you're gonna get through this drive-through line in under 15 minutes because they're incapable of taking more than one order per 15 minutes. The drive thru line is always crazy. This Burger King will definitely not have you having it your way, believe me. Do yourself a favor and drive to any other burgerking. read more

Rude AF lil girl yelled at me for wanting to use the bathroom before ordering. No joke held me up at the door saying no still you have to order... if I'm going to piss my pants why would I stand in line to order. Not to mention her tone is so demanding and rude. Anyways her supervisor came out nodded told me it was okay, order after. While I am taking a piss I'm thinking why TF would I even spend a dime here after that!? F that. I understand your policy but to hold someone up like that..... girl it's burger king. Long story short I came out and walked out, heard the girl say SEE I TOLD YOU, then I decided to turn around and give her a quick lesson...told her she's rude AF and I would've ordered it she didn't hassle me like that, you don't do that. I dipped, girl arrest me or sue me for needing to piss. Protecting corporates policy? Girl I'm not no homeless I just wanted fries to go but needed to use the restroom first. LOOKING AT THE REVIEWS, MAKES SENSE. read more

The orders are sometimes hit or miss but the service is always great! The woman working the window today at 4:30 was genuinely so sweet and made my day. 5 stars always for customer service:) read more

Slowest fast food car line anywhere! Amazing how unbelievably slow this place is. Don't stop here unless you got time. Not fast food here, SLOW food!! Then female employee was rude after a long wait saying I could leave, when I was trapped in between cars!‍ read more

Got food poisoning from a milkshake. Won't darken their doorway again. Rating is a MINUS star.

Waited in line for like 3 minutes and had a really bad rude experience. Customer service was super bad the lady in the window was super rude while charging and getting the money. I went ahead and asked for one sauce and she wanted to charge me for one sauce when she hadn't even gave me one. I went ahead and asked to speak to a manager and she denied to tell a manager and slammed the window in my face. This all happen yesterday night. I really hope Burger King see's this and does something about that rude lady. I wonder to how many other people she has treated like this. Unacceptable Burger King. read more

My acquaintance and I arrived to the Burger King here in San Miguel, looking for some late night food, as we are extremely business affairs we were dealing with early. Upon arrival we politely asked for our food. (Royal Chicken sandwiches) The lady, screamed at us saying "You are the third person today to ask for food we are not currently serving!" We politely asked why was food they were *not* serving on the menu. She told us that it was a new policy. She lost a sale with not only her rude behavior. But with a horribly advertised police. 1.2/10 would not come back again. read more

Extremely slow and I am not sure why. There were only three cars in the line. This place is the slowest drive through! It takes forever even if you're just ordering an iced coffee. If I wanted to wait 20 minutes in the drive through then I would go to a more reputable burger joint and sit down. IJS. read more

I waited five minutes at this Burger King for them to argue with an old man about his change then the cashier and the manager walked away from the register and I waited another three minutes before I walked out of the store expecting to never be served. read more

I went into the Prunedale burger king to use the restroom and to get a cup of coffee. The manager flew out of the kitchen almost hitting me with the door, yelling at me that the restrooms were customers only. I said "Well excuse me", and left. How rude! I guess you have to order first no matter how badly you have to use the restroom. read more

Staff was friendly but a bit distracted. Food was good. Store was messy and bathroom was very messy. Paper towels all over floor and none left in dispenser. Will try again. read more

What a confusing mess. The lady at the counter was having a bad day and had to keep getting help for the cash register. First she said she had to get the food from the prior order and then stood there and stared at us...what do you want. Also they STILL do not have restrooms available to customers. One had an out of order sign...the other was locked. When asked for the key they said it is locked...duh..and they recommend the locked outhouse across the way. Thought it was illegal not to provide a working restroom. Anyway they got a two because the hambergers were good. However will not be back. read more

kind of wild how shit this location is. should not have to wait 15 + minutes to just order some food while only 2 people were in front

Tried to stop here on the way to Monterey. Went inside with my son, who really had to use the restroom so we tried to go there first. The staff refused to let us in and said we had to buy our food first, and I guess let it sit on the table while we used the restroom. My son really had to go so we had to walk all the way down to the gas station while he held it. We definitely went somewhere else to eat after all that. read more

Insanely slow and indifferent service. I waited in line to order for 15 minutes behind two other people; cash register guy kept disappearing for five minutes at a time with no explanation and no apology. He'd just take an order, then walk away; minutes later he'd walk past the register and not even glance at the growing line of customers. Eventually he'd take another order, then disappear again. I worked fast food as a youth so I have sympathy for the difficulty of the job and the unpleasantness of many customers, but this was insane. Eventually my order was ready, but because he didn't call a number or gesture to me, I had no way to know that the bag on the counter getting cold belonged to me. That's some real special service, BK Prunedale! read more

They have 2 Impossible Whoppers for $6 deal! And one imposs whop is $6.28. So happy Arianna mentioned this deal and saved us ~$6. Orders came out right away and correctly made too with all the modifications that I requested read more

Burger King is seriously going down hill. Got a 9 piece chicken fries and large fry. Ended up getting 7 chicken fries in the bag and my large fries where only half way full. Contacted support after I saw it when I got home and they told me they can't refund my order because I don't have photos or offer to replace my food. I hope Burger King and Carl's Jr both go down in flames. Have it your way? More like THEY HAVE IT THEIR WAY! read more

The worst location I've ever been to in my life. Just off the freeway and food is disgusting. Employees didn't care at all. No bathroom for paying customers after 6pm because they're "cleaning it" even though the doors are still open. Everybody looking around like they don't know what's going on. Went to Mickey D's down the street and it's all good. read more

They might as well be closed as slow as the drive up window is I've been there twice and when you first pull up to the speaker the gal always says can you hold on a minute or wait and when you got the line 5 deep behind me I just don't understand can this gal not take orders at the same time she's serving food sounds like they need to re-train staff read more
