    A newish, more modern location in a plaza of similar options, this McDonald's has more walk-in friendly hours than most locations in Moreno Valley or Riverside. The few times I found myself here benefitted from dining in or take-out. The kiosks to order are convenient and easy unless you are paying with cash. All three times, the food came out warm and well made overall, although the first visit saw a better execution of my breakfast go-to: Bacon egg and cheese bisquit. Except for some employee yelling at another guy in the back one day, it's pretty quiet inside, and clean.

    The second worst customer service I've experienced at a McDonald's drive thru. I ordered and paid for two large coffees. I got two mediums -Girl(employee) at pickup window said they ran out of large coffee cups..I asked about being refunded difference, she didn't hesitate to snap with complete attitude and say she couldn't do anything about refunding difference since I paid with McDonald's app.. The coffee was great. Customer service, needs improvement.

    The sundae i bought.

    We bought two chocolate sundaes and the portions were ridiculously small. $7.00 for nothing.

    Not bad for a fast food place. It was pretty darn clean and fully stocked. Honestly, the best McDonald's I've been to in a long time. The drink fountains were full, the bathrooms were clean, and the tables were all cleaned off. My kids enjoyed the gaming screens, too, while we were waiting for our food. Once we received our food, I was quite impressed with the way it was packaged. They gave a handful of napkins (just the way I like it), separately bagged our sauces (so they didn't get all mixed in at the bottom of the bag), and the fries were filled to the max! The food was piping hot, especially the fries and nuggets....we all enjoyed our food! Not sure why all the horrible reviews, but if you are asking to be catered to, this isn't going to be the place. Most of the employees are working on the food/drive thru, so most people would prefer ordering either at the kiosk or on the mobile app. You're not going to get immediate help unless someone is at the counter. Other than that, I highly recommend this McDonald's for a quick stop, especially if your passing through town!

    Zero stars!!! It's Veterans Day so I went to go get the free breakfast being offered at all McDonalds restaurants. I went through the drive through, the person taking orders couldn't hear me so I had to wait until I got to the window to order. Waited 10 minutes and there were only 2 other cars in the line. When I got to the window, they tried to give me someone else's order. I let them know that I was the customer that they couldn't hear. I asked them for the free veterans breakfast. They said they didn't know anything about it. He went and asked his supervisor and came back to the window and said, 'we don't give anything free to veterinarians'. I corrected him and then he called me a veterinarian yet again. I asked to speak to the manager. And she said, 'we weren't told anything' , sorry. I tried to show her the McDonalds website and she refused to look. I said, it's VETERANS day. Do you know what a veteran is? And then she called me a veterinarian. McDonald's. What a disgusting disappointment. I have proudly served my country since 1994. I have always received free breakfast from McDonald's on Veterans Day. Note to self: NEVER EAT AT MCDONALDS EVER AGAIN. If you don't have people working in your restaurants that do not know the difference between a VETERAN AND A VETERINARIAN, you will not receive business from me!

    Wow! After several "fancy" dinners, we were just looking for a burger spot. Found it!…read moreWe were seated immediately upon arriving and our waiter, Joshua, who was extremely attentive all night, came over to greet us and get our drink order. We started out with the Drunken Tots. Wonderful! For dinner, I ordered the Turkey burger, and my husband and grandson each ordered the Bistro Burger. The burgers were loaded with all kinds of yummy toppings and we all enjoyed each bite. Meals are served with fries and a pickle. Perfect! Although we were stuffed, we split the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding for dessert. It was topped with a salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. So good! If you're just looking for a casual burger/sandwich spot, look no further!

    On the drive to California, I usually like to stop and try different local spots along the way…read more This time I was craving a burger and came across this place. The food was good overall and definitely satisfied the burger craving. The experience, however, was a little mixed. The service felt a bit awkward at times, and a few interactions with the staff just rubbed me the wrong way. Nothing major, just an odd vibe. The location itself could have been a little cleaner and more polished. I also noticed the Guy Fieri feature on the wall--which is cool--but at the end of the day, the food and experience still have to speak for themselves. Overall, the burger was good, but the service and atmosphere left some room for improvement.

Massive parking lot with tons of parking, we checked out menus at 5 or 6 near by spots and saw a worker from near eating from here. Simple straight forward mom and pop type shop. Typically, a place a would not get pastrami, asked the waiter and he said it was his favorite. Ok, now Im gonna have to try it. Mixed it up and did it Rueben style with house chips. Seriously one of the BEST pastrami sandwiches I have had. My wife had some and thought the same and my mom tried it and she was amazed. This lil spot knows how to make pastrami. and the House chips were pretty over the top too. 122 mile drive for us but might have to venture back for a great pastrami sandwich. Moms salad was also good, massive and we share it and still didnt finish it. Young lady came in and remembered this crew from way back too and that was cool to see. Lots of TVs, good amount of seating and great service. If your out for an event or lucky enough to be a local this spot is worth checking out and if you love pastrami its a MUST.

But after a long day of shopping and driving, this islands is usually our go to for our first day of vacation and was the only thing we could agree on to eat. Despite coming in an hour before closing, we were treated with so much respect and kindness. No cold shoulders, no dirty looks or anybody making it seem like we were inconveniencing them, even though we were. Our server, Daniel was SO kind, attentive, and just over all amazing. One of the best servers we've ever had. He made it a point to let us know we were no trouble at all, and had an overall positive attitude that made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Our food came out very fast and was hot and delicious. Daniel made sure to refill our drinks, had no trouble getting some containers to go, and didn't rush us to pay by bringing the check early, he waited until we asked for it to bring it. We made it out just after closing, I believe closer to 9:10, and although our consciouses felt guilty, none of the staff made us feel this way. Establishment was clean, staff was doing side work, but that's normal for a restaurant almost closing. I was so pleased with this experience. We won't be going In an hour before closing again, but thank you to this islands and most of all, Daniel, for making us feel welcome. With 4 adults and a baby, we were just ready to get some food in us after a long day. And we were not disappointed. Five stars all day long!

He felt special being able to order his own food. The minute we ordered drinks, I got my drink literally SECONDS after the waitress walked away with our order! The food was soo good. I ordered the sliders, fries, and jr hamburger with fries. The burgers and fries tasted fresh and hot! Sliders were filling and very tasty! My son says it's his new favorite restaurant for burgers because they are "sooo good". I wish I took pics of the food, we just devoured it soo quickly! I enjoyed being able to watch the baseball game, and other sports as well. It didn't feel like too much and the atmosphere felt chill and happy. The staff was soo kind and patient. We had a waiter brought my son his burger and sundae (super good) and he was so friendly listening to my kid's random story about his upcoming birthday All in all, we are coming back for the food, experience, and location! I highly recommend dining in here.
