Always fresh food and great workers thank you for keeping the area clean and welcoming

Excellent coffee. The service is great as expected. The ambiance is regular. The restaurant is clean.

disgusting, horrible employees, rude, insulting, mocking and yelling at customers right at their workplace. they even spat in my coffee. horrible, i do not recommend!!! the dining room is terribly dirty, the kitchen is also terribly dirty as far as i can see, the food is terrible and disgustingly prepared!!! it's just outrageous. read more

Not sure what everyone is complaining about. This might be one of the nicest McDonald's I've ever been to. Clean, bright and all their electronic ordering menus work. Plenty of parking too. Don't live in the area but if I did I would come here often. Only reason 4-stars is that they were out of ice in one machine and the outside was a bit sketchy. Other than that, decent place to get some quick late night grub. read more

This rant is inspired by the MOST DISAPPOINTING McDonald's breakfast, because of Mc D's cutting corners as a corporation, NOT by the hard working employees there. After doing a liquid fast for a day, I decided to reward myself by accepting the offer of an oj, hashbrowns, and an egg, ham, and cheese breakfast sammie (yum!) from my fiancé since he was getting breakfast there anyway. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! The hashbrown was lukewarm and soft; so sad when you're expecting your first bite of food in a day to be hot and crispy. The cup of oj was not full but tasted fine. When I bit into the sandwich, I asked if he had ordered the Canadian bacon (ham) on the sandwich. When he said he did, I told him that they forgot to add it because I couldn't taste it. Upon closer inspection, I peeled off an anemic, nickel thin strip of deli sliced ham from my biscuit as you can see in my Pic below. Didn't it used to be twice as, if not more, thick? My questions are these: when did this happen? Has it been like this for a while, and I've just been blissfully unaware, munching on SAUSAGE egg mcmuffins? Do I need to go back to the sausage? Is this due to the rising cost of food? Is anyone else noticing this? I have so many questions to which there is only one answer... forget McDonald's. Bummer, Mickey D's. What a bummer. read more

McDonald's - A nickel thin slice of ham. So thin I couldn't even taste it in the sandwich. This is getting ridiculous Mickey D's. - Fast Food Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

If you place a pickup order don't make the mistake of trusting that the employees packed the order correctly. Went in around 6:30 pm wasn't very busy compared to other times. Our order was called grabbed the bag and our soda cup and left. Should've checked the bag first because somehow the employees bagging up orders don't know the difference between an order of 10 piece nuggets and crispy chicken sandwich. read more

This location seems to consistently mess up orders...especially mobile orders (which they push on you to do)! The food never seem freshly made, and the temperature is just barely warm. The fries especially seem to never be hot. The latest issue (which is featured in the attached photo) is that I paid 20 cents to add lettuce to my cheeseburger. There were maybe 5-6 "shreds" of lettuce on it. I mean, seriously, come on, that's it...for 20 cents?!?! What a rip off! I'm so done with this place. In the future if I get a random craving for McDonald's I'll just go to Carp or Goleta. This SB locations suck! Also, the customer service, if you're lucky enough to get someone to actually speak with, is awful. So sad! Especially when they will be making more per hour than a healthcare worker?! read more

Very friendly and fast at this location. The dining area was maintained clean and they have a free parking lot. They even have a basketball hoop available for kids to play. read more

The highs and lows of McDonalds. they have good food because they always have limited offers like a chicken big Mack. However I feel like every time I do a pick up order they always get my order wrong because once I came to get a ice cream when I did a pick up order I thought it would just be easier but the came and gave me a Mc flurry I said I ordered a ice cream she said that there ice cream machine was broken I said if you made me a mc flurry how would she not be able to make a ice cream so she went inside and made one. Also one thing I like is the ambiance because it's very inviting but there are these 2 really long tables that sit 15 each I thought that was cool but it's kinda worn sitting next to people. I would recommend mc Donald's only if you eat inside. read more

The food is good.Service didn't really like because of the weird policy that you had to order from that one big machine,Not even a drive thru (I might be wrong I don't know) But overall,really mid.3 stars. read more

Food was hot, the service was okay...we did curbside and the lovely lady who brought it out was so nice. However, outside the parking was terrible and there was a lot of loitering around. Unfortunately, my order was wrong and I got the wrong drink and also my burger was wrong too. read more

Of course I didn't check my bag before I left and they forgot a Big Mac combo I asked the manager for extra ketchup and she seemed very annoyed with me. I regret not checking my order before I left never trust this place. I hope the manger who helped me doesn't get angry at customers for asking for ketchup like she did with me read more

Food is mostly good. Sometimes the fries are soggy and not very salty though. The service is ok. They're a bit slow though. The ambiance is like any other fast food restaurant. I guess that's good. read more

did not have tacos, I really wish they had tacos. Ambiance was fine, would return if no taco places were open

Provender: the food is what you would expect. Prices: typical McD's prices. Parking: ample, they have a dedicated lot. People: fun for all, but there is a homeless population that hangs out near/in front. Perks: no drive thru, so you're going to have to eat in. But it's clean inside, and they have a lot of seating options, i.e., booths, stools, circular tables for two. read more

They have completely turned it around. I'm actually really impressed at how they can multitask all orders in less than three minute wait time. Have been your loyal customer for two years. My to mgo in the mornings to get my coffee before work. read more

We stopped here to pick up a coffee and a quick bite. Unfortunately the restaurant was under construction so the inside area was not very attractive. One part of the restaurant was available for dining in and it was clean and comfortable. The service was fast and the crew was friendly and happy to explain why things were all torn apart. read more

This is the average McDonald's with the same menu. There is no drive through but they do have curbside pickup. There are many shady looking people hanging outside of this location which makes a bit scary so I normally only use the curbside pickup. Staff is always nice and try to get the people to leave but there is also only so much they can do. read more

McDonald's - a hot dog in a yellow wrapper - Fast Food Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This is a really solid McDonald's location. Hey, I know it's just McDonald's but for someone like me who absolutely loves Big Macs, McChickens, you name it...consistency is important. This location has hard working employees and the greatness starts at the top. I see active leadership by management to ensure a quality experience and these people treat their customers like family. The fries are usually quite fresh, which is amazing because you can taste the difference. No Drive-Thru but honestly there's hardly a wait-time and there is plenty of seating in this location. CNBC has returned to the television so it's always nice to sit by the TV and hear some of the locals chat about the market. Important **cool** note about this place: There's a basketball court! The sign says you can ask for the ball at the counter but I wonder if that's true... read more

We wanted McDonald's breakfast. It's been a while. Apparently, the line was 20 people long. My Bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich came with a processed tasting biscuit. This breakfast isn't cheap, so I expect something tasty! My hashbrown appeared to have been cooked with mold. I had to pick large green chunks from my hashbrown... Should probably not have eaten any of the Hashbrown... No ketchup in bag to doctor it up. McDonald's what has happened? read more

The worst McDonald's I have ever visited. Staff was incredibly incompetent, they took almost 30 minutes to complete a simple order. No updates were provided and when we asked for one, they got very annoyed. When our food was finally ready most of it was cold, melted or wrong items. If you have the option to go somewhere else, save yourself the headache and frustration and don't come to help this location read more

You know, it is McDonald's. The food is the same everywhere But I have to say, the are doing a great job with COVID-19. The are friendly and clear about their procedure. They have someone manning the drink station with your drink ready. They have someone cleaning the table when you finish. Most the places I have been just leave the tables dirty, so what is the point of everything else. The still have the practically useless paper straws, but rules like that why we eat in Goleta. Under the difficult circumstances, Kudos. read more

This McDonald's doesn't have a drive through but it does have curb side pickup/drop off which is nice. The amount of vagrants camping outside blocking the door is a downside which makes staying in your car a better option. Order through the app. The employees for the most part know what they're doing with mobile orders & are friendly. Few times I had mistaken orders paid & the employee unable to figure it out but the manager sent a gift card for free sandwich. Thank you for that. Nothing wrong with this place seems like standard McDonald's. Lost 1 star for the needle on the side of the building & constant potential chance of a mugging as the outside homeless can be aggressive when denied money or food and lost a 2 star for missing condiments on the regular. The people working here are doing a good job especially dealing with the drug addicted urine smelling people lingering outside. So it's understandable to be missing some items from time to time they should get a raise for the efforts since I doubt handling mentally ill or drug addicts is in their job description read more

The cashier in the evening then asked me what sauce I would like with my meal and I asked for BBQ. I then at the end I asked a different person for a sweet and sour sauce which they gave me, but I got home and that's the only one I had. Why did you even ask me which sauce I wanted if you weren't planning on giving me any sauce to begin with? read more

Well it's a McDonald's what can you really say but the kids love it for breakfast and it was close to 6am so it was open. It's the least we can do after waking them up at 3am for a road trip. Cause according to the youngest one it was one delicious breakfast, not to my talking stomach it wasn't lol. Nah just kidding that only happens with Big Mac's now that I'm getting old lol. My sister got a sugared water, oops I mean a iced vanilla coffee yeah it was pretty bad a good thing we had our own espresso in the cooler to fix that. But at least the girls were happy and the food did come out quick. Crew at counter were nice and friendly. read more

Place is a toilet. Overrun with homeless like the rest of Santa Barbara. On a road trip waiting in line behind homeless people trying to use the restroom. Getting propositioned/panhandled just tryin to per while in restaurant. I usually make a purchase of stop to use restroom, but gotta leave without even using the toilet cause the guy in there taking too long and sick of getting panhandled while in line. Stopped same place last trip. Never stopping in Santa Barbara again if can help it. Homelessness is impacting tourism. City ought to do something if the state won't. Worked with homeless for years. These people are in drugs or alcohol, need mental help, or like the majority of current homeless in Ca just don't want to work. read more

I don't expect perfection from fast food but these people COMPLETELY fkd up my order and had no mercy/rolled their eyes. Just gross

One of the saddest looking mcdonalds i seen and experienced, the cashier was nice but cleaned his station for a few minutes knowing i was ready to order and did not agknowledge me untik i fidgeted around. I ordered a large fries which came in a paper bag and were soggy, the girl that made them also dropped a few. the drinks i got came with paper straws . Since i was travelling from Orange County where we use plastic straws, this seemed odd to me, good for the environment but paper straws get soggy too quick. Overall, needs better customer service, better food quality and a better layout read more

This was possibly the worst McDonald's I have ever been to! The staff was so rude and incompetent! There were no updates on how the order was doing! It took them 30 minutes to complete my order! When the food did arrive it was cold and some of the items were wrong!! We had to argue with the staff about it because they refused to help us! Also this restaurant is dirty and the soda machine is leaking!! There were a couple of smelly and dirty homeless people in the restaurant just hanging out and smoking marijuana!!! Never coming back here again!!! read more

Im just gonna get straight to the point, years of depression and suicidal thoughts is what I have been suffering since COVID started. Thought I'd change my life a bit by getting on a diet and I did. But my depression continued until I turned to this fine dining establishment. Mcdanks is wut I call it, is more than fast food, it's cheap prices and delicious food can just never be beat by any other fast food restaurant. Shecannoggets as my dad says are my favorite here and the fries are amazing as well. Nothing much to say besides it's a 8.9/10 read more
