    Chicken sandwich
    Lisa W.

    Ok guys, don't judge. We went to McDs because we had points that were expiring and it allowed us to get McChicken sandwiches... 3x. lol. And when we travel we love getting their breakfast sandwiches. Honestly can't go wrong with ordering it at home then driving and parking in front of a number. They come out pretty quickly. Some staff even offering condiments (ketchup). I suggest downloading the app and finding their deals. We were also able to get that $5 meal deal with a McChicken sandwich, nuggets, fries and a drink. Also when the padres win, you get a medium size fries with a $1 more order. Usually just stick with the McChicken, nuggets and breakfast sandwiches. But geez, did you see the normal meal prices?! When did fast food get so pricey? Just go for the deals on the app.

    Location is close to the 5 freeway and parking lot is huge and free because it is shared with Home Depot. For service you can order via mobile app, or drive through, or on a touch screen inside. Make sure to sign up for a McDonald's account so you get points for free stuff. Inside is nice, clean, just as crowded and noisy as any busy McDonald's. Ordered some french fries and it did not take too long, maybe 2 minutes but when they went to hand me the bag it was empty. The clerk realized the mistake and put my bag back in the queue to get filled up. Within in a minute I had my golden delicious tasty fries and was out the door. Staff was nice, friendly, and realized their mistake before I left so that was a plus.

    Great budget deals from meals to drinks Downloading the app made my visit that much better Amazing McDonald's rewards

    The ads verses reality!

    FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! How does corporate America get away with lying to us consumers???? It's because we allow it. Time for us to wake up and hold companies accountable for their advertising. Case in point, although I rarely choose McDonalds these days...today we did because my son wanted it. I ordered a bacon double quarter pounder with cheese The end product comes, looks nothing like the advertised picture, no visible bacon till you open it up. Then you see the amazing thick-cut applewood bacon...wrong!!! You see 3 wimpy razor thin excuses for bacon. What a joke. See for yourself. Attached are 3 pictures. My burger, a snapshot of the online picture of the burger and then their online description of the burger. It is all very sad. McDonalds has 0% quality control and price control. They believe we are all too dumb to notice or even care so they continue to mislead and misrepresent in their adds. Why not be truthful...say "applewood bacon that is soooo thin, you'll barely even know it's there". That is TRUTH! Why do we all allow corporations like McDonalds to deceive us?

    Drive-thru
    Alex D.

    Accessibility: they have accessible parking directly in front of the building and plenty of other parking available. There is a ramp to get onto the sidewalk and the doors to get inside are pull doors. They also have a drive-thru with two lanes and digital screens with the menu on it. Experience: I went through the drive-thru on a Saturday afternoon and there was no one in line in front of me. The service was super fast and the food was hot! Fresh off the grill type of hot! The fries here also tasted MUCH better than the fries at the other McDonald's I have been to in San Marcos. The Vanilla coffee here was also very good and cheap! Use their phone app to get lots of discounts.

    Restaurant main entrance

    I just walked after waiting at the register for a long time to place an order. There were workers walking around, but I wasn't even acknowledged. Eventually an older lady walked up and asked me if I needed help (like I would just come by to stand there for fun!). When I told her I'd been waiting for a long time for someone to take my order she pointed me to the machine/kiosk instead of taking my order. I told her to just forget about it and I walked out. Pretty disappointing service, or lack of. Especially when I usually come by the drive-thru at this location in the mornings, with no problem at all. ‍

    I just went there, 11/26/22, and had to say about 4 times that I wanted a chicken deluxe. I gave the number a couple of times as well. They kept switching it to a spicy. When I got up to the window I had to correct the order again. Right when someone was about to hand me a bag of food, another woman came and ripped it out of their hands saying they need to change the sandwich. She was clearly frustrated. They moved me forward. I wait several minutes. It finally comes and I already knew something would be wrong. They tossed all of the toppings to the side and put the bun on top. So anyways. Eat here or don't. It's a toss up on if you get the right order, good service or anything else.

    Supposed to be oatmeal
    Liz M.

    Lady at the drive thru at 5 am was very pleasant, thank you for that. The reason for the rating was due to my oatmeal. It's bad enough eating Healthy is hard and todays oatmeal was beyond sad looking. Aside that it looks like something they give you in a hospital they forgot the brown sugar. Diets and oatmeal are for the birds.

    I went out to San Marcos to watch the Hail Mary at the Regal Theater and it was a great movie…read more The movie got out after midnight and we were looking for some munchies. We decided to make a pit stop at the In-n-Out Burger on Grand Ave because it was one of the few places that were actually opened so late. Here's my review. The exterior was as you'd expect from In-n-Out. Maintained and clean with very little trash abound. The interior was also clean and looked standard. Customer service was on-point, friendly and prompt. We ordered Flying Dutchmen and a custom burger; this was because we were trying not to carb overload so late at night. Burgers came in a timely manner and the seating was adequate. This was an average dining experience at In-n-Out and although there were a good number of customers inside eating, the service never faltered and the vibes were chill. Good spot for a late night bite and it's close to the 78 highway ramp entrance in San Marcos too.

I was giddy in my seat on the plane, but this meal was so effing mid. I asked for half chocolate and half strawberry for my milkshake, and they did 1/3 vanilla & 2/3 strawberry flavors? Burger had everything that I wanted in it, but where was the in n out sauce inside? Do we need to specify that we want that in our IN N OUT freakin burger?! Fries at in n out are almost always below average, so idk why I was expecting any different... maybe because I expect the best quality from SoCal in n out locations. My bad on expectations management. Service was slow, too. Nice people, yes, but job done so slow and so incorrectly for my order. Even slower at the drivethru, so just get out of ur vehicle and order in person. Very clean vicinity inside and outside. Not at all messy, despite the many customers that go in n out at In n Out

(Came out to $21.93) Coffee and soft drinks are self-serve. We found a table and the serve brought our food to us. The food is served on paper plates and plastic utensils (and the server clears the table, there are no trash cans around). My breakfast was as good as a typical cafe style meal, only it cost $10 less. My bride said her dog was great. If you are looking for fresh food that is better than any fast food place this is the place to go. I can't wait to come back and get a burger and fries! Thank you Money Pit

The girl at the counter was very friendly and helped me to order. I ordered the original double combo. I filled my drink and grabbed a seat. It wasn't long before my order was ready. There were several sauces to choose from. I liked that they were different than other burger places. My burger was good but I added a bit of salt. I also dipped it in some sauce as it was a little dry. Otherwise, it tasted good and was a big portion. I got onion rings which I liked a lot. It was too much food so I didn't order a custard, but I definitely will try it next time. I look forward to coming back and trying different options 3.5 stars.

The fries are like horseshoe style, which I could live without no meat to bite down Into. But the onion rings were great. Crispy. And the batter was light and air and didn't completely disintegrate when bent or bit ( I will say that with my burger they only gave 7 rings and was told the next size up would be double so like 14 rings) they were delicious. They are also giving a single serving custard, vanilla with sprinkles or chocolate with chocolate chips, with their kids meal in lieu of a toy. Service: friendly quick service and personable. Take away: I would definitely come back opt for the triple and double up on the rings and leave with a concrete which they will prepare at the end of your meal.

To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!
