This McDonald’s is worthy of a 6⁄5 rating. The workers here are fantastic, and don’t give off the«tired of drunk college students» vibe. It runs 24 hours, with dine in open until 11 pm. Great alternative to studying at the coffee shop or library since drinks are cheap(and free refills for sweet tea and soda). Have your devices charged though, because there’s only one spot for an outlet! The bathrooms aren’t the cleanest, but they are not bad either. Most McDonalds seem to be overridden with homeless and just congested in general, but the location of this one makes it so a car is pretty much necessary to get here so rarely is it packed. Currently they are running a pick 2 for 2.50 promotion which is super worth and is essentially a 1.25 dollar menu. The entire breakfast menu isn’t available until regular breakfast hours, but they have the staples at the 11 pm mark which includes hash browns and sausage burritos/muffins. Pro tips from a McDonald’s God — download the Mcd app for weekly deals — you can order fish filet without anything else — order unsalted fries if you want a fresh batch and salt yourself — light ice or super light ice is pretty necessary in drive thru because they go crazy with it for the drinks, even the iced coffees — you can upsize just the fries if you aren’t interested in a large drink in meal combos

So it’s hit and miss with this McDonald’s. I’ve had several experiences where it’s obvious the food I received had been sitting around for a while. My favorite thing to get it the spicy McChicken. Sometimes it’s hot and fresh, but mostly it’s warm or lukewarm and hard. Granted I do go through the drive thru every time, but that’s no excuse to give me food that’s sat around for probably more than half and hour. And the mozzarella sticks, which I was so excited about, are a big let down. I have never gotten a fresh batch so the little bit of cheese is not melty. The last batch I got was hard and old. My opinion is that if the employees would pay more attention to how long the food sites there, this McDonald’s would be great.

Whoever works the night shift during weekdays taking orders is incredibly rude. All I wanted was an ice cream. Then he was like $ 1.09 at the window, then as I was about to drive up, he tells me the ice cream machine is down. Then I was all sad, and I asked why and he told me why, then he was like goodbye. But i wasn’t done with my order. Then I asked if Mcflurry was available, then this kid laughed in my face, it was a «im better than you, that’s a stupid question,» kind of laugh. Yes it might have been a dumb question, but you didn’t have to be so rude. Incredibly horrible customer service this kid had. Definitely not coming to this McDonalds again. I think the staff at night do and act however they want, I also heard loud side conversations in the speaker as my order was being taken. I guess what do you expect, it’s McDonalds.

+ THEFOOD McDonald’s will always be McDonald’s– the food is going to be the same no matter where you go. $ 5 for 20 nuggets is a sweet deal but what wins my heart over are the Golden Arches fries. I could care less for the burgers but $ 1 McChicken?! HOLLA + DRIVETHRU Best thing about this McDonald’s is the drive thru. It’s open 24 hours to feed us poor college students. You’ll be surprised by how many people go during midnight! The wait can be a bit long but fret not, your delicious, super unhealthy fast food will be in your stomachs soon. After 12AM, they start serving breakfast food at the drive thru! Shout out to the workers who have to work graveyard shift and deal with hungry students. + THEENVIRONMENT The place is a good size and fits a good number of people. This isn’t one of the McDonald’s that has all the fancy upgrades with leather seats and all that jazz. The place is kept pretty clean because not a lot of people stay to sit down and eat.

This is by far my favorite McDonalds. They’re open 24⁄7 so it’s really convenient, especially being in a college town, to come here for late night munchies when you’re intoxicated. Depending on the time, there might even be a long line at the drive thru. Don’t forget to download the app«McD App» for coupons such as BOGO on sandwiches or McCafe drinks or even free fries. The app really comes in handy for a college student like me cause even when I’m eating at McDonald’s, I’m on a budget. This isn’t also your typical McDonald’s. It makes a great study spot! Who needs overpriced hipster coffee shops when you can enjoy a meal here while studying?! There’s free wifi here and no time limit on the wifi. The only bad part about studying here is there’s no wall outlets but they have a extension cord plug outlet in this one specific corner of the chairs near the entrance. It has like 5 outlets.

Ba da ba ba baa… I’m lovin it. This place is good if you are looking for a clean fast food joint. The staff is mostly nice and the food… well it’s McDonald’s. The drive thru is open 24 hours so you can clog your arteries at anytime! They have a large outdoor play structure for the kids which is nice, and plenty of parking.

This place is great because of the 24 hour drive through. Other than that, it’s like any other McDonald’s. I find that the food isn’t super greasy like other places which is a plus. But sometimes I wish my food was a little hotter. I order nuggets and fries and I feel like it’s been sitting there for awhile But what really shines is their breakfast! At 4am I had the best sausage egg biscuit ever! Super fresh and hot. It’s really filling too.

I like this McDonald’s because it has a 24 hour drive thru; which comes in handy when you’re out with your friends(intoxicated or not) and craving a midnight snack. I usually get a mcchicken, hold the mayo and add Big Mac sauce. It’s an additional 27 cent charge but it’s so worth. Fries can be hit or miss but when you get the fresh batch, ooooh it’s gonna be a lucky day! And also sometimes I ask for sweet & sour sauce for my fries and they end up not charging me for it(which could be a plus because cmon now… It’s just sauce…)

It’s seriously a hit or miss with this place. I cannot count how many times I’ve relied on their 24 hour service but lately they have been SLIPPING. Twice now they’ve forgotten items in my bag and the third time I learned my lesson! I checked the bag then reversed back to the drive thru to remind them what they forgot. I LOVELOE filet-o-fishes and one of the times I’ve gotten it they gave me half a slice of cheese and hard stale bread.

I came back to McDonald’s today for breakfast. I had the Sausage and Egg McMuffin meal. But I substituted orange juice for coffee. They charged me an extra dollar for that! The meal was just fine like the last time though.

I come here for a pitstop during rush hour traffic to enjoy a cold coffee for under $ 3.00, a couple of steamy hot Apple Pie’s, and simple fast McDonalds service. The cashiers and manager make sure your order is right, I don’t eat here the meats, but I do grab snacks, conveniently located next to one of the cheapest gas stations I know in the Mid North area, about 20c less here a gallon regardless of the current costs, located next to a market for snacks, corner stores, and rest stops. A great location for travelers, a playground, and a clean interior area that is well maintained. Good McDonalds location. Parking is terrible, one way in, one way out, you miss a spot, you have to drive around!

The people who work here are the real MVP when it comes to late-night service to drunk college kids who have convinced their designated driver that they won’t make it through the night without 10 chicken mcnuggets and a large serving of fries. I’ve come here so many late nights after studying at the 24 hour study room on campus, that I’m pretty sure the guy who made my usual crispy chicken chipotle snack wrap recognized me by my voice.

Love this mc Donald’s! They have share fries! :D I wish they have it in every mc Donald. This location is clean, service is fast. And workers are decently nice most of the time. There a lot of seating and the decoration is lovely. The bike decoration is sooo cool! Probably my favorite mcD. The only complaint I have would be it’s so far off. I wish there was a closer mc Donald’s!

I would never mark down a McDonald’s based on food, as you know what you’re getting. However, I have a quick question… Why does this McDonald’s, this one specifically, always smell like ass the minute you open the door? If I do have a rare McDonald’s craving, I try to remember to go through the drive-thru. If I don’t, it never fails… an unpleasant odor envelops me the minute I walk in. Please, I pray, that the cause is not the septic system

Close your eyes. Now imagine that perfect burger. The pleasant meaty aroma draws you to it; you see two delicious, carefully cooked patties stacked on top of each other with 2 oozing slices of cheese, in between 2 perfectly soft buns. You take your first bite and it sends your taste buds on a wild and delicious roller coaster ride. Now open your eyes, if you still want that sh$t, go to In n Out. Now on to McDonalds, it is what it is. It’s a cheap fast food place that you go to for quantity over quality. Though I’m not 100% sure their meat is real meat, it still has that taste that makes you crave it every now and then. Their burgers aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing, but I guess it’s got a lot of personality? Their salty, gets-cold-real-quick fries are still delicious, but I certainly would not recommend McDonald’s foods for the most discerning taste buds. If you’re a college student however, this is what we call, «eating gourmet» and«ballin’ on a budget.» Service is pretty consistent from McDonalds to McDonalds, wherever you go. By consistent I mean you are«greeted» by student employees that look like they just want to get the hell out of there. You can smell the despair even before you enter the place. You don’t go to McDonalds though for service, you go for the food after a long night of binge drinking.

The wait is finally over! My first and formal Unilocal review. I picked this place as my first review because this place holds a very special place in my heart. Anyways, this review is only based on late night drive-thru, since Mickey D is one of the few places in Davis that opens 24⁄7. I don’t usually go to McDonald, but when I do, I am intoxicated. I am fairly certain that the food quality of the drive-thru and the dine-in won’t be too different from one another. The one thing that set Mickey D apart from the rest is their dollar menu. Other fast food restaurant might have similar menu, but it is incomparable to the one at McDonald. As a college student, it is great to be able to buy cheap and fast food at ease. Whenever I go there, I usually get their Buffalo Ranch McChicken($ 1), and their 20 piece McNugget is a must. McNugget comes with amazing dipping sauce, ranging from BBQ sauce, honey mustard sauce, and sweet and chili sauce. Now they have this new habanero ranch sauce. Definitely give it a try, if you want to spice things up with your nuggets. I am sure eating those nuggets and McChicken will make your throat a bit dry. Their dollar sweet tea will definitely quench your thirst!!! Something about the sweet tea makes me keep wanting more. Believe me when I tell you, adding 3 coffee creamers to your sweet tea will result in something that you will never imagined before.

I have no clue when the McDonalds on West Covell closed down but it doesn’t matter, because we have this better McDonalds! When I lived in Davis for 4 years, I always went to the crappy McDonalds next to the SaveMart, and it was disappointing. Its menu was lacking and everything about it made me sad. I exited the Mace Blvd exit and I noticed a McD. My friend and I love their fries, so we decided to be lazy and go through the drive thru to get some fries. On a weekday(aside from Friday), it seems like the drive thru is quick and you drive went through it. The drive thru is a little weird. I feel like the signs are a little misleading and misplaced but overall, you can figure it out. There’s only one place to go! So we got the large fries and I also came back to get my favorite(20 piece chicken nuggets). McDonald is a chain, and consistency is key. This place is like any other McDonald. So it has the delicious, crispy fries, yummy chicken nuggets, $ 1 drinks, and $ 1 menu items. I am going to come here often. The drive thru was a little busier than I would like on a Friday night, but hey, it is a college town and if you want fast food at night that’s open 24 hours, where else would you go? I think the biggest plus of this McD is the 24 hour drive thru — ESPECIALLY in Davis! …Oh, yeah, there’s free Wi-Fi here. Seems so bizarre that all McD has Wi-Fi but it doesn’t hurt! I love McD — it’s one of my go-to fast food places for fries and chicken nuggets. There’s a sign that says they charge extra for condiments — so just a heads up in case you wanted more than they give. They are generous with napkins though. I got a good amount with my fries and chicken nuggets, yes!

Ahh McDonald’s, you have done wonders especially at around 3 am when you have had enough to drink. I haven’t been to McDonald’s recently because I’ve been eating more healthier recently but when I do I love their dollar menu! Best part is that they are open 24 hours a day! My usual order(varies from getting it all or just a few things): –Large fries –Sweet Tea(ask for 3 creamers so you can make Milk Tea!) Amazing! –20 Chicken McNuggets –McChicken($ 1) –McDouble($ 1) With the McChicken and McDouble, you can make the infamous«McGangBang». This is definitely worth $ 2 and it is so good! Location is not too far from South Davis and they usually get the food ready fast even late at night. So unhealthy but I can say I would crave McDonald’s often mostly at night: P I am even craving some right now as I type this review!

At 10 in the morning on some weekends, my housemates during undergrad would scream«Fire fire fire! go go go!». We instinctively got out of our beds and rushed into the car. We knew there wasn’t a fire, but the urgency was just as bad. At 10 a.m. the end of the McDonalds breakfast menu dangerously approaches. There is nothing better than starting your weekend with 2 Egg McMuffins and hashbrowns. You can taste the flavor infused in the frying oil. During other days, the dollar menu is a college students best friend. You just need a dollar McChicken and McDouble, and when they combine they become the infamous«McGangbang». Apparently you can order it at the counter and they’ll assemble it for you. If you live in South or East Davis, you are blessed with this McDonalds. Unlike the North Davis location, this one is open 24 Hours to satisfy your late night munchies. The service can vary, but one of the female managers always greets us with a smile.
