What's this, a crazy vegan reviewing a McDonalds?! Yes, my friends, it's true. But I'm not reviewing any old Mickey D's... Nope, I only review the cool ones. Why? They. Have. SWEET effin' TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I work not-too-far away, I noticed the poster in their window advertising sweet iced tea for a buck a few months back. I ran it by my Southern BF, who misses sweet tea like polar bears miss ice caps (he finds it essential for survival). I, on the other hand, would just be happy to be hooked up to an IV of true-blue southern sweet tea for the rest of my days. It's like morphine for the soul. So a few weeks back we bit the bullet and rustled up some MD's sweet tea. And holy CRAP was it sweet! Sweeter than any tea I remember from NC, to be sure. So now Justin orders one and I order one, but I only drink half of mine and give the rest to him. Then I watch in amusement as my boyfriend falls into a diabetic coma resulting from a 40oz sugar fest. I also enjoy that this McDonald's does cool things like Earthquake Safety Day, and seem into doing community-oriented stuff in general. Also very kid-friendly, with the exercise-video games. And I also remember enjoying their Egg McMuffins sans Canadian bacon in the days BKWV (Before Krissy Went Vegan). read more

This place is disgusting. First off they made me wait forever for my food and to top it off I bit into my quarter pounder and the meat was raw!! read more

McDonald's - Took a bite of my quarter pounder and this is what I saw. Disgusting!!! - Burgers Near Me - Encino, California

I love McDonald's . They usually have a good costumer service but this McDonald's in particular for my last past 6 visits have always forget to complete my order . They always forget something . By the time I get home I don't want to go back and when I did go back they refuse to to give me what I order . read more

I don't go here often, just for an occasional Egg McMuffin when I feel like some grease in the morning..... This morning I was greeted by the "Nicotine Man" begging quarters from you just as you were about to pick up your food at the drive through......it's so pleasant having some guy breathing smoke fumes at you while awaiting this fine cuisine. Also, they screwed up my order, so I had to drive through again, more nicotine. read more

Very clean and the line looks super long but it's fast. Everyone is working and all McDonald's need to be to is fast and eficiente. They wifi always works too. Thanks read more

The McDonalds across the street from my office started selling the McCafe specialty coffee drinks a few of months ago. It's supposed to be major competition for Starbucks and McDonalds has been rolling out the drinks in stores across the country since late 2008. I had my first opportunity to sample one of their mochas yesterday. The price is certainly cheaper. The large cost me $3.29. A similar sized latte at Starbucks is usually about a dollar more. However, it seemed clear that the McDonalds staff had not yet been adequately trained to produce the drinks. When my number was called, I found my McGriddle sitting all by its lonesome on the tray. I had to remind the counter person that I had a mocha coming. When I finally got my coffee, it was presented nicely, with an attractive swirl of whipped cream and a decorative criss-cross of chocolate syrup. It tasted pretty good, too. There was a decent espresso flavor that was actually stronger than the most recent Starbucks drinks I've had (which seem to be getting crappier as the price keeps going up). Unfortunately, there was more whipped cream in the cup than coffee! Clearly, the problem was with the training. There's no way McDonalds would want their employees garnishing the coffee drinks with $2.00 worth of whipped cream. Of course, after all these years, they still glop half a cup of tartar sauce on a Fillet o' Fish, so it's possible that they may never get it right. I hate to bash McDonalds employees because it's so cliche, but the learning curve for being a decent barristra may well be beyond the capacity for most of the remedial folks behind the counter at Micky D's. read more

I love McDonald's! There I said it. And this one has a great location with huge amounts of parking. The interior design is quite nice and stylish too. So why 3-stars? Their ice-cream and shakes are only available half the time. Seriously, one day they either have ice-cream or the next day the machine is broken. This happens more often than not. I'm at the point of just driving further down Ventura Blvd. and visiting the other McDonald's and forget this one all together. read more

I'm not a big McDonald's person; I probably only go a couple of times per year. The only reason I went in here today is my husband was hungry and I needed a place to change my baby's diaper. I actually suggested McDonald's because I was certain the bathroom would have a changing table. It doesn't. Strike One! This McDonald's has a lot of design issues that don't make sense. When you walk into the restaurant you have to walk through the line of cars for the drive though. There is no way around it. I had a stroller, and the handicap ramp is very narrow. Since you are also walking through a line of cars that is bumper to bumper it is not easy to use and I actually had to wait for the line of cars to move up to get through. Strike 2! The inside of this McDonalds is decorated really well, which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Also, if you are looking for a place to park your car in the shade and get high this parking lot seems to be a good choice. Probably won't be back! read more

I am now in the drive through and it has been 17 minutes and counting... 2 cars ahead of me... better be overflowin with the fries when I get there. I think people have gone in, ordered, eaten, and left before I got my food. Lame PS The shortage of fries in the bag confirms.. read more

This McDonalds needs help! The corporate folks need to step in and fix a bunch of issues here. With homeless looking folks always hanging out in the dining room and overall poor maintenance this is not as nice as it once was. The kids video games are all broken yet sit abandoned on the wall. Booth seating is town and floor tiles in the kitchen are broken. This location has been neglected for awhile now. Come on franchise owner....FIX up this location. Encino deserves better golden arches! read more

I've ordered food inside and taken it to go several times at this location. Service had been ok until yesterday afternoon (a Wednesday around 4:15). Two other customers received their orders before I did. When I asked the person in the dark clothing wearing a headset (manager?) if they were working on my order he didn't even reply. My number was being passed again when I inquired again. This time he said he was waiting on a burger. My order was not that large (4 burgers and 3 fries). When my order was finally ready this man did not call my number but just shoved the bag toward me on the counter. What every happened to customer service? He could at least have said sorry for the delay! read more

The employees were really rude , I just asked to ur there restroom and I'm pregnant.. so rude

I am writing this letter as a humble note of appreciation for the service provided by one of your employee Ms FERDOS at this MacDonald 's drive thru As I have a five years old son who loves MacDonald ' very frequently I found myself driving to this branch because of her great service. I am very thankful that Ms FERDOS providing very professional service . Please accept my gratitude towards her. read more

Literally the slowest McDonald's I've ever seen. I've been here for almost 25 minutes waiting for two small nothing special combo meals. Not one special request! It is also really dirty. Ample parking though... read more

See all

No energy to make an explanation of my reason for poor service here. Kinda glad it was tho so I wouldn't return for one and two bc I try to avoid junk food. read more

I ordered two Mc chickens no mayo add ketchup, cheese and a strawberry smoothie. They were made better than I'm used to happy they produce good quality instead of thrown together slop for speedy service also my smoothie was filled to the brim, the little things count ‼ read more

Newly renovated but perhaps they lost their trained staff. You go here because you know what to expect but I certainly didn't expect my egg McMuffin to be burnt! Yes bun was burnt black AND smelled burnt. read more

I know that no one goes to McDonald's for customer service... but if someone is going to be client facing at least know your product. I went through this drive through at a slow time of night and placed my order. I ordered nuggets with my usual dipping sauce. When I got to the second pick up after paying at the first I check my bag of food (because I'm at McDonald's). My dipping sauce wasn't there, just a thing of BBQ. I handed it back to the lady and mentioned that this is what I ordered at the speaker box and she informed that they do not carry what I wanted. Not that they were out, but that their location does not stock this specific sauce. I'm not looking for fancy food... just don't sell or offer what you don't have. I asked for my money back and after a few moments of the worker looking at me trying to figure out if I was serious turned around and disappeared for quite a while. Then came back with my money and said, "here". Ugh.... I wish I could quite those nuggets but I can't. I will definitely quite this location though. read more

I'm in favor of this McDonald's over most franchises I've visited. I'm not an avid McDonald's diner -- probably haven't had a Big Mac or Chicken McNuggets since I was a kid. But when I want coffee, fruit or an English muffin, I go here. Yeah, those are fairly healthy items. This one is conveniently off the 101 on Haskell. So I'm inching my way along the 101 and Haskell appears -- aha, time for McDonald's. (Or Corner Bakery which is also nearby.) I also likely have had a beverage at that point and the McDonald's restrooms here are nicer than most. The people working here are really friendly. The dining room is fairly nice with padded leather seats, free wi-fi and a little Nintendo Gamecube area for the kids. There's no playpen for the kids to run around like maniacs in but that's OK. The drive through is a bit funky too. You order on the east side, roll around the front and pick up on the west side and exit from the back. So entering as a pedestrian requires avoiding a 360-degree track of drive-through vehicles. But it works as a one-stop location for food and beverage. read more

If no stars was an option that's what they would be getting. the customer service at this McDonald's is by far the worst service I have ever received. They are overpriced and not like any other McDonald's the manager and Shaina argued with us about .62 cents. And then gave us half a sundae! DONT GO HERE read more

McDonald's - Burgers Near Me - Encino, California

I consumed my favorite filet-o-fish meal here tonight and it was simply wonderful. The burger and fries were cooked to perfection. Even the coke drink was not flat! There was a little too much tarter sauce in the fish burger but it was balanced out by everything else. I will definitely come back here! read more

McDonald's - Oh so wonderful!! - Burgers Near Me - Encino, California

I had multiple hairs in my fries. Disgusting. The Sprite also just tastes like club soda, no flavor

Watch out! The manager here is a tightwad that will try and screw you every time you go, as well as he's just generally rude. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first couple times but repeated visits and observations with how he is with other customers have shown a clear pattern. A few visits ago I noticed my fries had no salt. I went up and asked for salt - the manager, ( you'll recognize him as a guy probably in his 60's, grey shirt with tie, dark mustache, looks middle-eastern in decent) acted like I asked him for a kidney transplant as he hesitantly took out a hidden canister of salt packets. I returned several times when this guy wasn't there with no issue. The other day I'm there and once again an issue with this dude- he said my order was ready, my drinks weren't there and I said I needed my drinks- he barks "YEAH give me a minute!" even though he called out my order... gives me one of the drinks, I said I needed the other, in a huff he hands me a small, I said I ordered a large, now he's really upset as he switches them- like it's all my fault and there's literally no difference in sizes. My wife had to go up to the counter to request something and watched him try to short the people in front of her on the drink size too! Once again the staws this time are hidden and have to be asked for as well. Maybe he's the franchise owner or something but corporate needs to get in there and force him up to quality standards... it's Mcdonald's I shouldn't have to beg for Mcdonald's standards and have to watch out on being intentionally shorted constantly. And guy if you're reading this- you're managing a MCDONALDS- people go there because they know what they're getting and the Mcdonald's standard hasn't changed in decades- stop trying to make it your own shoddier version where you save a few pennies- you hate your job and it obviously isn't for you so find something else dude! read more

Burgers are a bit greasy. Fries are good but I hear that they are fried in a cottonseed oil??? Cottonseed oil isn't a good oil to consume. Their fried chicken strips are awesome, way, WAY better than Chick-fil-a or KFC and El Pollo Loco. read more

Bunch of fucking idiots that can't even put together an order that's on their very own computers! It's in plain black and white what an order consists of... when there isn't two McFlurrys when u send a Togo order out maybe check and see the first time you haven't completely wasted the purposes of ordering from a delivery service!!!!! read more

This review is only for their breakfast. We were staying at the nearby Courtyard Marriott and didn't feel like eating there and walked down Ventura Blvd. We had eaten at the IHOP across the street the day before, but wanted something lighter to eat. We ordered an oatmeal ($2) and a sausage mcmuffin ($1 - this was a special). The oatmeal came with pieces of apples and raisins and was surprisingly good. The sausage mcmuffin was rather ordinary, but what do you want for $1? We ate there again the following day. We felt satisfied and now believe that you can eat comfortably and inexpensively at McDonald's without loading up on fatty foods and high carbs. read more

Came in for a quick Breakfast today. Ordered at 7:37 got my apple pie at 7:55 No sorry it's going to take long, I'm very disappointed in the service today. read more

i ask for a crispy chicken sandwich and they gave me a spicy chicken sandwich and then when i finally got my sandwich i was just the bread and the chicken nothing else and they were rude about it read more

McDonald's - Burgers Near Me - Encino, California

The new automation is too restrictive. Cannot order things I was able to order before. Its more confusing as well. Very poorly implemented.

Location is NOT 24 hours. Their ice cream machine somehow breaks every night after about 9pm. Unacceptable. Might as well just close at 9pm.

Several other McDonald's near by this one has terrible service consistently out of product and food temperatures are cold! This place has low star ratings for a reason! read more

Iced tea and french fries nothing special. Burger King fries are the best!

Not a big fast food fan otherwise I would give this location five stars. Clean, friendly environment, the ice cream cone I got during the 102 degree day hit the spot read more

NASTY!! THEY GIVE ME A COCKROACH IN MY FOOD BAG.. When I made a complaint, the guy said just Sorry and throw the cockroach between the napkins away... I asked for my money back and He bring the Manager, SHE WAS RUDE!! She put my money back badly. read more

Horrible service and totally insensitive to my concerns as a customer (no more). Not getting app credits for purchases. While minor to me, they handled this badly and with indifference. Returned my order and won't be back. read more

This is probably the worst mcdonalds i went too. I had placed my order and paid for it but the worker at the second window said "hi" in a bitter way hands me the bag and immediately turns to walk away and as shes turning i asked for some bbq sauce she just drops it in the bag and turns and walks away. I get home and see that all she had gave was fries. I went back to the drive thru and the worker was chill about it and said sorry and when i got back to that second window same worker who had gave me the order before just hands the bag and walks away. I get home and the buger was a little cold. Moral of the story, hire workers who know how to talk to customers and make sure the customer is satisfied. read more

Fucking piece of shit McDonald's they are closed for remodeling they say they're open until 3:30 in the morning even on Yelp they are closed they are fucking closed they don't have the courtesy to update their information when you work 3rd Shift and there's not that many places open and you go to get something to eat you depend on applications like Yelp for accurate information I just wasted my time and gas and still don't get any fucking food to eat read more

This is the worst McDonald's I've ever visited. People are rude and disrespectful and I think that they just don't pay attention to you when you're ordering. I ordered two McDoubles with no ketchup and no tomatoes. Of course, when I unwrapped my greasy, hastily assembled burger, I found that it had both ketchup and tomato on it. How hard is it to just NOT put an item on a burger? isn't is just creating more work for yourself if you don't pay attention like that? Don't visit this McDonald's or you will regret wasting your money more than you usually do when you eat fast food. read more

The food is good but the service is HORRIBLE. 20 minutes in the drive thru at 2am is crazy! Unfortunately I work graveyard on Ventura so there's not many options out here at that time but they need to speed up the service. I've seen many cars leave the drive thru AFTER ordering their food & not paying as they leave. I'm sure this is not good business for them with all that wasted food. read more

Listen people - we came here at 3:14 in the morning. We didn't even get that much food, probably like a couple bags and it took 15 minutes. They say fast food... HAH! More like... Slow food!!! HAHAHAHAHAH but seriously this McDonald's blows. read more
