Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
The kitchen grades better than the reviews do. Opinion on how guests are treated is split — those reviews land at 3.0 on average.
The split is 4 positive to 11 negative across 16 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. 1 star is the modal score, given by 9 of the 16 reviewers who rated. Conspicuously absent: price, which no reviewer brings up.
On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (98/100), with 2 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That inspection was on April 22, 2026. That puts it ahead of 92% of graded kitchens in Lake County. Among the items recorded were plumbing installed & maintained.
If serving size is what you care about, the reviews are the better guide here; if it is the kitchen, the grade is. Everything above is computed from the 16 reviews reproduced below.

Says 24 hours but no one is answering the drive through.

Closed at 12:30. Why lol
-
I've never been to a McDonald's quite like this. All over the internet it says 24 hours 7 days a week. Four different occasions I come in at 1:00 a.m. 4:00 a.m. nobody's around The place is all lit up like a candlestick. I came back at 7:30 a.m. and the lady at the window tells me oh we're only 24 hours on Friday and Saturday. What a joke. Took 8 minutes for one senior coffee.

Ordered two nugget happy meals, never received the nuggets that i paid for.

You order your own meal at a kiosk. And the kiosk asks you if you'd like to tip....enough said.

This has to be the dirtiest McDonald's I have been in. Employees having a shouting match in the back. This McDonald's needs to do better
-
Great place. Very clean including barthrooms. Food is good and not just slapped together. Order at drive through is correct every time I've gone there. The fries are always hot too!!
-
Expect to repeatedly receive incorrect orders.

La hamburguesa Un producto que ya no tiene la misma calidad ni cantidad
-
It was extraordinary the food was chef’s kiss the service. Was. Good the people were nice and kind
-
Me hicieron esperar más de 15 minutos por 2 helados y no había absolutamente nadie más que yo en la tienda y cuando me dieron los helados no estaban rellenados completamente, literalmente por la mitad, pésimo servicio.
-
Got the $5 breakfast special. Egg McMuffin, potato, coffee! Fresh! Hard to beat!
-
I always have a great experience when I come to this location especially when Fefe is the one that is serving me she has the best customer service and always has a smile on her face I appreciate her service everyone I go
-
Nicole was kinda rude. She stated that she didn't have any coffee. So I compromised and said okay give me an iced macchiato. She said she didn't feel like doing that this morning. I said okay mocha frappuccino she said she's not doing that till like 8:00. She said I had to get like a fountain drink.
-
I ordered fries and received a wad of hair with a large skin flake attached. It’s been two weeks since then and I’m still disgusted and gag when I think about it.
-
Slowest McDonald's I've ever been too. Waited in Drive thru for 20 minutes while outside lane kept moving. Ridiculous!
