Great food and an amazing, professional staff who handle a busy environment well! However, the dining area feels uncomfortable due to heavy transient foot traffic and frequently crowded counter. I highly recommend ordering to-go or using the drive-thru instead of eating inside. There is an outdoor dining area but didn't see anyone using it. Makes one wonder why.

Any chain restaurant that plops itself in an area that's severely reduced residential parking. That has reduced pedestrian access and 24hour divethrugh deserves no daytime residential support. Rent in this neighborhood is already more expensive then elsewhere, why do I need to pay extra for Uber eats to get food for me that's 100yards away or risk my overnight parking to a tourist going to the bar to use drive through? I would rather spend extra to support a mom and pop business utilizing the same space.

Manager is extremely rude about correcting a mistake even though it was a mistake on their part. I asked for their special berry blast sprite and they gave us blue raspberry. The manager whined about it being an extra dollar even though we specified at the window that we wanted the Berry Sprite. It was a fault of theirs and instead of correcting it they made a big deal about us paying an extra dollar. Extremely rude and poor service every time we come here. If you are going to a McDonalds, avoid this one.

Charged me for 6 count nugget and wasn’t there. Also made me come inside took figure out how to reward even though it was there. Don’t come here while you’re free fries from Padres game. Truly disappointed.

Absolutely superb example of a McDonald's restaurant, very well-run with friendly and considerate staff that are willing to go above and beyond to fulfill the customer's orders to the exact specification, just for the sake of ensuring complete satisfaction with their products purchased.
I was thoroughly happy with the way they made my order, exactly as it should be, without gleaning any extra surcharge just to make my food correctly, as many McDonald's these days are want to do. Most of their restaurants want you to pay extra money just to make your food taste good, and that is neither fair nor right, but these guys here know that as well, and they aren't afraid to make you something that you'll enjoy without sticking you for a few extra cents that you might not even have.
I've had my order made correctly at OTHER McDonald's before, only to have it literally taken out of my hand because I was short a dime. I was apalled that people, and the company that employed them, could be so heartless and cruel as to literally STEAL the product I was looking forward to enjoying, right out of my hand, just to throw it in the trash instead of just letting me have it, and laugh about it with each other and their manager as I stormed out of the restaurant. To think that McDonald's is so penny-pinching that you have to pay double the price if you want an iced coffee to taste sweet instead of bitter (because that would just be like having a cold black coffee - gross), and to insist that their employees make an example by destroying my food rather than give it to me, is just soul-crushing. These guys aren't like that at all.
These guys here have heart. They understand, and they get it right. This is the place to go to, every time.
