Food is your standard McDonald’s taste. Not much to brag on. I hate that they went to the kiosk type of service. So cool and unpersonable. Foundation drink area was a mess… Top’s and spilled drinks were all over the place. Bathroom had this odor as soon an you open the door. Like poor ventilation.

Super fast and hot and tasty. Consistent with what a McDonald’s should be. Chicken nuggets were hot and crispy. Clean bathroom and dining area even though it was pretty busy on a Friday night.

You can’t give a McDonald’s fewer than 5 stars – unless they mess up on a specific occasion.
The new spicy chicken nuggets with the mighty spicy sauce are just dope! (OK, I hope I used that word in the right way!) said plainly, the new spicy combination is worth going back for, repeatedly! In these Covid-19 days, get them to go and eat in your car! Like the picture!

It’s June 2025 and this McD is perfectly located if you are visiting Santa Cruz and McD is what you want.

It’s October 2025 and the menus are gone. You order on the kiosk – no human involved in order taking. Love it or leave it. Are you lovin’ it?

The food is amazing except the chicken nuggets. They taste SOOOOO much like plastic most days. Its so off putting and disgusting. I dont know why this is but please fix it. Everything else is great.

The restroom was dirty and the floor was full of scattered tissue. The staff was probably too busy to give it a quick clean up

Nice McDonalds in Santa Cruz.
NOTE: No drive thru.
Very environmentally friendly. The Filet-O-Fish was served in a sturdy clam shaped container.
It’s a great place to stop before heading to nearby places.

They were rude and it took so long for the food to come out, they forgot my nuggets and it ruined my day. Food was cold too

McDonald’s used to be one of my favourite places to eat when I was a kid. The food tasted good, the restaurant was clean, open and inviting. You even got a tiny cookie in your Sunday, and peanuts sprinkled on top by request. Now, the whole chain has been redesigned to make you feel uncomfortable being there. Everything is smaller: the food, the seating, the counter. Literally EVERYTHING. no cookie for you, and if you want peanuts, you have to add them yourself from a tiny packet (thanks legal team!)
There’s even a needle bin. Disgusting. If McDonald’s wanted to be great again, first step is to stop redecorating. We want the nostalgia, not this creepy nuveau cram-people-together seating. No booths? no thanks.
Also, work on that food. I can get a grass-fed burger anywhere in town for $13. Maybe, since your charging that much for meals with upsized fries, you could afford that? Downsize the sodas, $1 for diabetes sized corn syrup isn’t helping anyone. Change your coke products to cane sugar and charge $2. I just made you better than any national chain right there. Use real grass-fed beef in ALL your burgers. Cut and double- cook your fries on site. Use only natural ingredients in ALL YOUR FOOD. FIRE SOME VP’S!!! save money at the top, not by cutting food and stop wasting money on making your restaurant less inviting to sit in.
UPDATE 2/5/19: I don’t know why I’m here again, maybe because I love torture #gogiants. but this Mission st location is SERIOUSLY UNDERSTAFFED. There is a lonely table number here still waiting for its food. My dine-in order got put in a bag. Nothing says “you’re not welcome” quite like having your food cold and ready to leave before you. Even still, you can put a burgerand fries on a tray and carry it 12 feet in the time it takes you to call out a number 3 times. Fast food isn’t fast anymore. it’s just rude food. all bad.
Congratulations on earning your one star review.

To many homeless people just sitting in front of the entrance. Was too nervous to walk my kids in.
