McDonald's - Fast Food Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Ordered mobile order, we brought the food to the beach. After powering through my chicken sandwich we start on our burgers. My burger tasted funny, so we proceeded to look at the other burger. As soon as we open it a HAIR, protruding out of the cheese, cooked together in the cheese and juices of that burger. Absolutely disgusting!!!!! I called the restaurant, not for a refund. Not for replacement. Just to inform them, to look at their cook. Disgusting read more

Please train your employees. Since I need min 85 characters, Ill have to add details to rude customer service I received. I apologise if this location only hires people with special needs including ones needing personality adjustment. read more

I stopped in because JBX has a sign saying mobile and door dash only at this time and TB is closed for renovations. I was greeted with a smile from the door. Asked if I needed help. They place was cleaner than I've ever seen it and my order was correct and made only moments prior to handing it to me. What a difference. I hope the rest of them follow this same pattern. read more

It's McDonald's, so don't go in expecting Michelin Star level food. The food is cooked well and tastes exactly like any other McDonald's in the country, which is the most important thing. Prices are great considering you are in Hawaii. Fairly close to the cost of most mainland major cities (NYC, Chicago, etc). For reference, a regular Oreo McFlurry will run you $4.91 without the app. You can also get a 20 pc. chicken nugget for $5.99 with the app, so definitely use that. Workers are friendly and do a great job. The location is also easy accessible through one of Hilo's main roads. read more

This is probably the worst McDonald's on the planet. Service was garbage food was garbage. The place was a filthy mess and don't get me started on the filthy bathrooms.!! this is the third time I've been here and nothing changes. It's always the same. I don't recommend this McDonald's to anybody.!! read more

The food was decent, and the employees here were quick and professional. Unfortunately, the drink fountains were not available for use. The ceiling in the dining area had a huge water leak with mold growth. I also found a roach on the floor of the dining area under a table. Plus, the bathroom had a strong urine odor, the sink wasn't clean, and the toilet was trashed. read more

I saw they had Taro Pie on the menu and had to try it! It tasted amazing! The outside crust was flaky and had a crunchy texture. Inside the pie, it was filled with a delicious sweet Taro flavor. The contents inside was soft and warm. If they had this in Illinois, I would be so happy and would eat this everyday... haha. I love my Taro. read more

Kaden always gives awesome service and has a good attitude he would make a amazing manager

Gone to this McDonald's twice this week. The first time the worker just straight ignored half our order and didn't even put it on the order after clarifying three times to try to make sure it was right... it was still wrong. The second time we asked for plain cheeseburgers, were given cheeseburgers with everything on the after again clarifying many times to make sure they were right. And again some of our order was still missing. I'm not one to leave bad reviews but the same thing keeps happening over and over again and the store was not busy either time we were there. They're just negligent and don't truly care to do their jobs, the older people who work there I've never had a problem with but all the younger ones just simply don't care to do their jobs. read more

Did a curbside pickup yesterday Friday June 3rd around 3pm. Thought I was going to be pleased. Haha wasI wrong. It began good with easy order and delivery with curbside. But that's where it ended. Before leaving curbside did my normal check that all items were there. Yeah every item accounted for. Went backto my mother's where my daughter and I were visiting for the evening after helping her do her first of the month household food and essentials shopping as she is household bound. Dish out the order(which my mother was graish to provide). Sat down prayed and began to eat. Wow what a shock my daughter's quarter pounder meal had the quarter pound hamburger missing from the bun. (Who would of thought that when I checked that that all items were in the curbside pickup that I should have opened each item and I specter for quality). Anyway too late to go back to the hilo store downtown to fix it. So my elderly mom living on social security with no snap assistant ancestors offered my daughter the option of using her food supply of hamburger for the month to cook a burger for the bun from from her quarter pounder meal. My daughter out of respect for her elders and understanding g how hard it is to budget fiancee said no thank you. My daughter bite I to the what was now essentially a bun with cheese and choked. She managed to spit it out. I made sure she was alright and cleaned her and the food mess up. So her grandmother my elderly mother gave my daughter her food of chicken nuggets. I cried. My mother's once a month budget to eat out was ruined and she sacrificed her dinner for the night to feed her granddaughter. That should not happen. I could not let my mom not have a dinner. So Iwet to my car where I had a few groceries of my own from our shopping day and grabbed a few things and made some spaghetti. I loved seeing my mom smile and enjoy the pasta. So I say complete thumbs down, half a star rating to McDonald's downtown Hilo Hawaii. Next month I will treat my mom and daughter to a wonderful meal out that doesn't include mcdonalds. In fact my family decided to boycott McDonald's for at least this month the next 30 days then we will review and see if 30 days is enough time to waste a dollar on McDonald's. So for now McDonald's you have lost this family of 3 business. read more

The food was as expected and service was good. We did not hear our name called, as so the server brought our items to us.

They currently have a special buy one get another for only $1.00 more. This includes their Big Mac, original Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and 10 piece Chicken McNuggets (however their 20 piece is still a little cheaper but you get an extra sauce with this deal). It just started and for a limited time only. Haven't had a Big Mac in years until this evening. Finished the first one and it tastes like how I remembered it used to be. It looks a little smaller especially in regards to the size of their burger patties but one Big Mac is filling enough to get by, at least for me. I'm more of a deluxe quarter pounder person. read more

I mean it's McDonald's but, are they really so crazy over a water cup? I asked for water and they tried to sell me a cup just for water , they gave me a super small cup for water , I had to get 3 cups just to have a decent amount of water. Like really McDonald's read more

I noticed most of the franchised fastfood locations have a really low rating on Yelp. I do understand why but then at the same time, we cant expect a 5 star service from these places, too. I dont know why this McDonalds have a such a low rating but Ive never had any bad experiences here. I have only went inside once and my usual visits are drive-thrus. The wait can be ridiculously long especially during lunch and dinner but on the other times, its pretty reasonable. The workers here are hardworking and I havent seen any rude ones either. I always got what I ordered and the food quality was never lower than I expected. read more

My wife and I ate here many times while vacationing...the cheapest place to eat on the island! HUGE TIP: Use the APP when placing your order, because you can get mainland prices! AND, place several APP orders for each offer desired in the APP! My wife and I got a BIG chicken sandwich, medium fries, and large soft drink for $2 + tax, while purchasing through the APP! Beat that price anywhere in the entire world at a McDonald's! Their meat taste 10 times better than on the mainland. I believe it is because they have their own farm on the island and the cows are taken care of better than they are on the mainland! read more

"Going to McDonald's for a salad is like going to a prostitute for a hug." What can be said about the Golden Arches? This global fast-food chain is what all little kids dream about. When you were a kid eating that $0.59 hamburger, you wanted to move up to the Happy Meal. When you were at that Happy Meal stage of your life, you wanted to graduate to a Mighty Kids Meal. Nowadays, you would be lucky if a #1 Big Mac combo fills you up. That thing is small but delicious! All in all, this is a pretty legit McDonald's. Come here for a quick bite! The staff is friendly and the lobby is kept clean. This place has been recently renovated as well. The lines can get pretty ridiculously long though but hey, if you can't wait for fast-food, maybe you should become one of those people who blends their food into liquid form. Patience is a virtue. I can't wait until this McDonald's offers breakfast items 24/7. read more

I don't understand why this McDonalds' has such a low rating but it was great. I'm from California and let me tell you!! The McDonalds' fries and nuggets were fried to perfection. Crispy and golden brown outside and warm inside. The apple pie was fried to a beautiful flaky texture and had a comfortable warm filling. As a picky teenager, I can assure you wood-eating adults this was a good and friendly local McDonalds'. read more

A regular McDonald's, though the Taro Pie and Kona Coffee added a local twist. Fast, good, easy, cheap. The new XL Big Mac is good. Free WiFi that actually works well is a nice bonus. -1 for having no clean tables among the many open tables. read more

"We don't serve tap water any more, we only sell bottled water." WTF??? So even the finest restaurant will give you a glass of tap water if you ask for it, but McDonalds Puainako is now finer than fine, and only sells bottled water?

Thank you to David at the drive thru who was helpful in i forming me that the swiss mushroom will be coming back!

This McDonald's used to suck, it was all dirty and stuff. Now that they remodeled it, it looks nice and you can use screens to order and customize your orders as well. Most of the time its crowded so it's kinda hard to get a seat and the drive thru is long as. I ordered off the screen and not in person so I'm not too sure on how the customer service is, but it's probably decent. It didn't take too long to get the food even tho there was plenty of people. My food came correct, so umm, idk what else to say. read more

I came here to try the Hawaiian-style McDonald's breakfast that I heard so much about. I was under the impression that they had breakfast sandwiches, but with Portuguese sausage, spam etc. instead of regular breakfast sausage, or bacon. Turns out perhaps the only Hawaiian thing was this Hawaiian platter which was basically eggs, spam and Portuguese sausage. No problem, I asked if we could order a Hawaiian platter thing and an egg mcmuffin, and if they could put the Portuguese sausage from the platter onto my sandwich for me. No? OK, no problem, let's just order the platter and mcmuffin and I will put it on myself. We get back to the table with our food only to find that they gave me a mcmuffin with no meat, and the platter with no Portuguese sausage. WTF? So I go up there and tell them that we're missing the sausage, and they basically tell me "you didn't order the sausage!" Well then what was the whole point of talking about the sausage on the sandwich, and then you giving me a mcmuffin with no meat, if I wasn't going to take the sausage from the platter? Idiots. Honestly, it wouldn't have been that bad if they weren't so negative. Can I have a mcmuffin with Portuguese sausage? Answer: NO. (Just no.) Can I order a platter and mcmuffin and you put it on? Answer: NO. (Just no.) At least be helpful. Say something like "We don't have mcmuffins with Portuguese sausage but you can buy the platter and put it on the sandwich yourself." But they managed to mess that up too. read more

Look. I know it's McDonald's. I know I can't expect it to be amazing here every time. But here's the thing. I should be able to expect certain things at even the worst fast food restaurant. I should be able to get a water cup without having to jump through all the hoops of buying a normal cup and asking them to fill it in the drive thru because they turned off the water in the dining room. I asked for some sauce for my $25 order and they refused wanting me to pay for the sauces. The last straw was when I saw an ad flash across their menu screens for a slushie and when I asked about it, they told me they weren't selling it. Why even have it on a menu when you can't order it. Unbelievable. All in all, awful services, awful practices. Will not return. read more

I walked into McDonald's on 1/2/2020 thinking that it was open. The manager comes out and tells me that they are closed. They don't open till 5 yet there are people sitting inside . If that's the case , make sure the door is locked. I just left and went to jack in the box. read more

I have been to this McD more times in the last couple weeks than I've been to any McD on the mainland for the last year! lol My dad and I have been playing role-reversal...and he has insisted on coming here during my visit. I personally do like their offering of Passionfruit Iced Tea and the fact that I can get local fare like Portuguese Sausage/Eggs/Spam/Rice breakfast and an occasional Taro Pie or Fruit Punch (because we definitely don't get that on the mainland!). However, this last couple weeks I have had fun getting my Iced Tea in the "Aloha" cups (limited time offer) and trying to collect favorite sayings like "Mahalo" and "Howzit" (although I still wasn't able to get my hands on a "Bruddah" cup!). This McD only gets 3 stars because today I went to get my usual Aloha Cup...and got a regular cup instead...even though they had all the promos up still! Boo....no "mahalo" on that big fail...! 3-stars it is. read more

This McDonalds has been here for awhile but somehow wasn't on Yelp. It is conveniently located off highway 11 near Kta store and Sack n Save store. They have a decent size eating area inside, and no outside seating. The great thing about this McDonalds is that there drive through is open 24 hours a day. They have all of the food and McCafe drinks that most of the McDonalds now have. We like going there for the Coffee drinks or the smoothies. Good price and location. read more

Great fast food! Service was amazing! The man on the register was courteous and provided excellent suggestions. The line was extremely long but the young man was fast while also being nice. We need more people like him in our world. Thought it was so funny that we have the same name. I will definitely go back. read more

I been all over the world and the constant is McDonald's. Until this one. McDonald's is known for their quick service until this one. Look, we all know McDonald's is not gourmet, but we all know what to expect from the Golden Arches! My wife asked me before we went inside, "do you think this McDonald's taste like the ones back home?" I answered, "of course!" Boy was I wrong. This location should be ashamed. I doubt this review will matter because the line was out the door, and the drive-thru was at least 20-cars deep. Maybe that's the ticket, all the fresh food goes to the drive-thru customers. read more

Have been waiting in line for nearly 5 years I'm wondering if they are actually slaughtering the cows and forming the meat into patties.
