McDonald's — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

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...

My mom asked me to get her a couple of things at McDonald's. I admit, I have not set foot in one in over 10 years. I used to work for this one (upper State Street), while in high school. Back then it had a carousel for kiddos to ride on, and it had Birthday Parties for children, it had picnic tables outside for people to share time, and it didn't use SOYBEAN oil to cook the food. It's not the same McDonald's. Everything is made in SOYBEAN oil, and the customer service is not good. When I worked there we greeted people with enthusiasm and we got their orders out quickly. The cashier could not answer any questions about the food and seemed uninterested in taking anyone's order. So I tried to ask for a manager and was told, "No English". Really?! In a major food chain? I was surprised. So, I stood in line again and got my mom's order. She was happy. I do not need to go back. I did see a small sign on the way out the door that says they use all the allergens that people are allergic to. So, my takeaway is I will not need to return anytime soon. There are a vast number of eateries in Santa Barbara that are fabulous. I admit, I do miss the original McDonald's French Fries before SOYBEAN oil was a...

This mcdonalds is the only restaurant in town of santa barbara I have had an ongoing problem with. Every time I go in there the employees are extremely rude. I ask how one of the managers are doing & I got a dirty look as a reply& then they just glanced back down at their phone & ignored my greeting. This is the closest mcdonalds to where I live & I dont have the time to go all the way down town to eat. Its not only that the employees don't reply when I say "Thank you" or don't ask how I am doing or acknowledge me (giving that i I am a regular customer there) it seems they go out of their way to be rude. Also when they make an order wrong & I ask for it to be fixed the manager Omar got very angry about it & argued with me before fixing the order. Just a heads up to people going to eat here, keep my review in mind & see if you take notice to the terrible...
