I feel it is my duty as a fellow citizen to write this review. We ordered chicken nuggets for our kids and I was shocked to find that the nuggets were completely uncooked! Â Let me say it again, the nuggets were completely uncooked! Â The breading was brown on the outside but the inside was cold, slimy, raw chicken. This is extremely discomforting since this was part of a children's meal. Â I have notified the county health dept. and have spoken to the management. McDonald's corp. has not returned a comment. Â This occurred at the button willow restaurant in ca.
Review Source:I recently  stopped in on my way to San Jose, it was a very displeasing experience. The order taker was very rude, rolling her eyes after I asked for napkins, and corrected her about wanting a medium drink not a large , and wanted sweet tea not plain.I wanted no salt on my fries, only received what seemed to be from the bottom left overs that were re-fried? when ask for correction on my drinks,  I said" I wanted mediums for the game pieces, she slammed my 2  cups at the window counter before handing me my order, while I was saying "Thank you" she shut the window. This place has very poor customer service. Buttonwillow, YOU need some work on your smile and Customer Service, body language is very important! People notice such things as eye rolling, fyi
Review Source:We travel a lot between our crib in LA and my bro on laws place in the Bay area(Santa Clara). We stop by this MCD for peeing and eat some junk. They maintain their toilets clean and service is fast..No complaints...Its a MCD and what else can you expect with food quality. Today I have the new Caramel shake on my way from Bay Area to LA. Not bad..I was impressed with how strong it was but honestly it was very sugary...
Review Source:Relatively clean for a McDonald's, the outdoor picnic/eating area is a cute touch (though when it hits 110°F in July, probably more seating than they had during our recent visit).
The crew behind the register could be a bit sharper. Â Prime example: ordering a Happy Meal for Miss Fussy Pants. Â Just her and I ordering, and Young Dude asks, "toy for a boy or a girl." Â Perhaps it's the script, but the kid in the dress and pigtails next to me should offer a clue.
Also not impressed that he informed us the 4-piece Happy advertised on the sign is actually a 6-piece Happy Meal. Â Really, 'cuz the sign mentions that one separately as a Mighty Meal or something, and this pipsqueak is hardly mighty. Â But he vapor-locked on how to ring up the desired 4-piece and I finally surrendered to end the experience.
We took hers to go and went across to Carl's Jr., where I found more prominent signs of intelligent life. Â And needless to say, I found myself inhereiting the surplus two McNuggets, though felt no more mighty for the experience.
***This McDonald's is located right off the 5 freeway on the long drive between Los Angeles and San Francisco; their breakfast was about what you would expect--hot and recently prepared and probably pretty bad for you; the decor was nicer and the restrooms were cleaner and more up-to-date than most McDonald's locations along the 5 freeway***
Like most McDonald's locations, parking is free and it is easy finding an open space.
Was doing a road trip to hike the Grand Canyon and this was one of our stops for breakfast and to go peepee and what not. Its like any other McDonalds out there really. Although the McDonalds in the area where I live don't really have TVs. But this was a great pit stop even though I am not a big fan of fast food places. Then again a Sausage breakfast burrito and a hash brown didn't really set me back on my hike either haha and it tasted pretty good. I actually wanted to try Tita's Pupuseria  right across the street but hopefully I will make another trip where I pass this town again.  Cant Complain it wasn't anything special nor was it anything bad. Awesome pit stop!
Review Source:This is always a must go to place on my drive from NorCal to SoCal and vice versa. Â Why? Not because it's freaking delicious (well it's McD's their quality is consistent). Â Not because the service is slamming (Last time I went here, it was actually quite the opposite... very terrible indeed). Â And definitely not because the prices are super cheap... (Again McD's standard prices unless you're at the airport). Â
Why do I ALWAYS go here? Â Because its' quick, easy, and this buttonwillow exit has the cheapest gas. Â That's why. Â Again, the last time I went here, the service was terrible. Â It added about 20 minutes to my drive NOT including me scarfing down my meal in no time flat. Â The alternatives around are some indian place (I dare not test my stomach on a 7+ hour drive), starbucks, subway, carl's jr. and a small small pizza hut/taco bell attached to TA (Also a place where I frequent for the gas). Â
So all in all, decent typical McD's with little competition, so why not?
TL:DR. Â Come here for cheap gas next door.
Food was better than other McDonalds I have eaten at. Â I got a 10 piece chicken nugget, fries, and a chicken sandwich. Â The chicken nuggets were probably the best I have ever had here as there was not this sense of what mystery meat am I eating. Fries as always were good. Â The chicken sandwich was gross. Â Anyhow, only super negative thing about this place is that the women's restroom was seriously out the door. Â That's not really a thing you want to deal with when driving down the I-5 for several hours.
Review Source:I wanted powerade so I told one of the workers that theres no powerade in the machine. He looked SO confused like that NEVER happens. and he didn't move an inch to getting more. (no powerade for me)
My dad ordered a fish fillet sandwich. He wanted extra tartar sauce so they charged him 32cents, ok. BUT tell me why... When my dad opened his fish fillet sandwich that it was spewing with tartar sauce. WHY!? We definitely meant an extra PACKET because we didn't order tartar sauce with a side of fish fillet.
We had to eat in the car, so my mom had to keep passing my dad napkins after every bite in the car.
As a chain in a popular/common roadtrip-stop... Blegh. Next time I stop in buttonwillow, I'll just get food at carls Jr or someplace else.
So my husband and I stopped at Buttonwillow for the night on our way to Chico. Â He went across the street from the Motel 6 for cheap breakfast. Â He was so upset they forgot to give him his cream and sugar so I offered to go get it. Â There was a young girl with braces who was very nice and very sorry about the cream and sugar. Â Everything was ok, I went back to our room only to find out they had forgotten my parfait as well! Â I went back AGAIN and by this time I was getting upset. Â I told myself this stuff happens. Â The older lady who helped me this time seemed to be a manager. Â She looked over the receipt like I was some menace looking to score a free parfait. Â Then I was very upset. Â I got back to the hotel only to notice the double checked for accuracy sticker on my order. Â Now I was very upset. Â Not only did I have to walk back there twice to correct their errors but the second time this lady made me feel extremely shitty for asking for what I had already paid for! Â I can't believe it was such a bad experience that I had to write a review!
Review Source:This McDonald's is the most dead and boring McDonald's I've ever been to. This is located out of somewhere lol and I guess only Senior goes here especially in the morning.
Good for a quick McDonald's craving or if you have to stop by and use the restroom.. and BTW, just FYI it's next to a Motel & Carl's JR.
Trucks & RV's can park here.
I pulled off the 5 at hwy 58 looking for a quick bite and some wifi. I got my order of Mc nuggets and Iced coffee in 3 mins, O baby. Â But dude when I got back to my truck to check my e-mail and give em a positive review on yelp I couldnt keep a connection. Well Mcydees u only get 2 stars from me I could have kept on trucking to kettleman city or coalinga and got a strong wifi signal next time I will.
Review Source:It's MCD.
That should pretty much sum it up. Â Cheap, fast food, peppered up and down the I-5.
'Taking another one of my BART's, first one this year.
(Bay Area Road Trip)
I just read the other four reviews, the usual problems seen at places where most of the team members are pulling in minimum wage. 8/
Daniel H., ugh! Â That would definitely send the suck-o-meter off the charts. Â 'Followed up by a formal complaint to the location manager and the corporate office.
My good friend, SP, wanted an ice coffee and I could use the pitstop.
It seems that this MCD has been here for a while and within the last year, had a remodel. Â This has to be one of the nicest and cleanest MCD's I've been too. - Sand stone-like floor tiling, brick work, and even what appeared to be artsy, canvas prints of sports figures on the walls. Â The restaurant was spacious with contemporary furnishings in the back dining area and on the side, near the front. (See uploaded photos)

There is also a front, gazebo-like area if you want to eat outside.
The service was alright, it's MCD, not Five Crowns. Â The team members seemed to be preoccupied joking with each other and not focused on the customers. Â Most of the team seemed to be teenagers, management didn't appear much older than them.
SP's iced coffee was surprisingly good. Â Most of the time, MCD's iced coffees are too sweet, killing the bite of the coffee. Â The balance was perfect.
I wasn't that hungry but ordered a double hamburger and small soda to yelp* about. Â The hamburger was fine but someone should tell the person in the back, ketchup should not be oozing out the side of it prior to wrapping. Â 'Half of my hamburger was covered in ketchup, on the outside. Â Ketchup Is supposed to stay on the inside of the bun... Â 'Which leads to the onions, also to be kept on the inside... Not on top of the bun, unless MCD's is trying a new concept, "sesame-onion buns."
My experience here wasn't bad, it was basically what I expected from a MCD's.

OK, I'm reviewing a chain but this is my Summer Road Trip I'm taking and I'm reviewing every stop.
I said hell with it I'm getting a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal. I rarely eat McDonald's. I love it though. My mom had me at 15 years old and being raised by a teenager you are kind of raised on junk food.
I was the only person in the drive through. They accept Debit Cards at the window so that's a plus.
My food took a bit longer than normal I thought. It was good though because I got out of my car and rearranged some stuff in the back seat and threw some stuff out. I used the time wisely.
So, I understood why my food took so long because it was freaking hot as hell.
The fries almost burned my mouth and my burger was so fresh I wanted to open mouth kiss it.
Some of the best McY D's I've had in a long time. Well worth my decision to get some. Well worth the fat ass I'm going to get from eating it also.
I don't even want to give this place 1 star.. I'd rather take away 12 stars.
This place seemed nice and clean however it's friggin nasty asss shizz. I had chicken nuggets and found a god damn pincher bug in my food. It's flippin disgusting. I couldn't even complain because I was already on the road. However even if i did complain the service sucked so badly, and they were so rude that they would probably spit in my food and probably put another bug in there anyways. The people working here definitely hate working there...
This is probably the last time I'm going to visit another mcdonalds on the road...
I thru up after eating 3 nuggets and seeing the bug.
Have you ever noticed that big chains test their pilot programs in random locations such as Buttonwillow? Â Perhaps I'm wrong. Â But whenever we're driving through random dust bowl towns, we stop and notice differences. Â I am a McDonald's fan. Â I know that menu like nobody's business.
They had an Angus Mushroom 1/3 pound burger on the menu. Â I was all over that like a crack whore. Â Seriously. Â I tried looking it up on the website and it's not even listed.
I ordered whatever number it was... with a diet coke. Â Because, you know that there are people out there that believe that you cancel out the calories by drinking diet soda. Â Those people are idiots. Â I don't care who you are. Â They are FUCKING idiots.
When the manager called out my order number, she abruptly handed my bag to me. Â I noticed that there was a sticker holding the receipt to the bag.... it said, 'DOUBLE CHECKED FOR ACCURACY'. Â Â I looked at it, and asked for my soda cup. Â She told me that my meal didn't come with it. Â I showed her the special receipt with the bright 'DOUBLE CHECKED FOR ACCURACY' sticker. Â And I think she wanted to throw the cup at me.
Obviously, I embarrassed her with the line that was growing behind me. Â I really don't go out looking for fist fights. Â Really, I don't Â
But I believe that she was double checking me for bitchiness.
Oh and their WiFi sucks donkey shit.
When I was in high school, I was a choir girl. On our way back from a festival in Anaheim, our buses broke down in none other than Buttonwillow. It was pretty miserable seeing as it was hot and dusty outside, and our options for where to go were very limited. McDonald's made this part of our trip bearable; they have working toilets, air conditioning inside and French fries and ice cream cones.
I remember we got t-shirts that said something like "Buttonwillow Breakdown" afterward... I should dig through my junk at my parents' house to see if I still have it.
