This specific McDonald's saved me from many starving nights when I got carried away studying for school. They are open 24/7 and they never ever charge me for ranch. The workers are competent and fast. Yes, I know its a fast food chain but when the workers are incompetent and they forget some parts of your order it makes it very dissatisfying. And as always, the spicy McChicken is to die for. Perfect nice drive here if you live in South Davis!
Review Source:I woke up this morning all tired and hungry, and decided to drive over to the only McDonald's in town for a quick breakfast to go.
I went through the drive-thru and ordered, and then was asked to pull over because my hash browns were still being fried. I was salivating at the mouth, like my dog after a hot run. After I got my bag, I drove off, and then I realized.. (!!!)
THEY. FORGOT. MY ORANGE JUICE.
Have you ever had the most devastating feeling when you order something, know they up-charged you extra for orange juice, and end up not receiving it?! Your tummy and mouth have an expectation and it's just flat out crushed - almost like being stood up on a date, but with food. First, you feel gipped for the amount you paid. Second, your thirst cannot be quenched. Lastly, you find discomfort in deciding whether to drive all the way back just to complain for the forgotten drink or to return home without the holy grail that is a cold cup of orange juice.
The struggle is so real.
-------
*The establishment, service, and food is actually pretty decent. They're open late, and fulfill any late night or early morning cravings. From time to time, they've forgotten parts of my order in the drive-thru though.
Your average McDonald's, nothing extremely bad or great about this one. In and out super fast and the service is alright. The tables seemed pretty clean and the floors didn't have trash at all. But then again, I did go during breakfast and so maybe it's much cleaner in the morning, I'll never know.
B+
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.
As mentioned in previous McDonald reviews, McDonalds is simply McDonalds. All food is prepared exactly the same, and you definitely get what you pay for. (For the most part).
I'm giving this particular location only one star because not only is the place not clean, but the customer service was absolutely horrible. No smile, no greet, and when we ordered a 20 piece nugget meal, we were only given 2 sauces. When we told her we're supposed to get two more, not only was she going to charge us, she was completely rude.
We only stopped by here because we were in Davis for something. I don't think I'll ever come back!
Food was hot and fresh but place was dirty with food all over tables and floor with tons of flies inside and bathrooms where beyond nasty toilet paper all over and in toilets and urinals which where overflowing all over bathroom. Customer service was very bad as well. Employee acted like we were bothering them when trying to order food and could careless about being there.
Review Source:Not sure what I was smokin that day to call McDonald's burgers "Fresh" but as with any other fast food chain, every order is a hit or miss.
Places like these get so busy at times that they have to make multiple patties and keep them in a warmer. Come at the right time and your burger can be hot, and dare I say, "fresh"-tasting.
I AM a fan of this particular Mickey D's however just because it's open at ungodly hours and they haven't completely failed me yet.
The McD franchise as a whole is greedy however, charging extra for extra sides of sauce.
Yum yum yum. Â Four stars because for what it's trying to be, McDonalds does an EXCELLENT JOB. Â I knocked off a star because the workers can be kind of rude sometimes and they're not good at customizing orders, but what do you really expect at a place with a dollar menu?
I always get the Mcgangbang and fries. Â For those of you who don't know, the Mcgangbang is a McChicken inside of a McDouble. Â That's right, separate the two patties, insert McChicken. Â VOILA. Â Costs only 2 bucks because both sandwiches are off the dollar menu. Â Tastes like...well, it's called the Mcgangbang for a reason.
Fries here are really, really good. Â That's because they're double fried. Â That's right, deep fried once. Â Cooled. Â Deep fried again. Â Ever wonder why McDonalds has better fries than every other fast food place? Â That's why.
I hardly ever review fast food places. Personally, I think that every McDonald's deserves a default rating of 3 because yes, it's a fast food franchise so yes, you will be greeted with the same familiar plastic golden arches, creepy Ronald McDonald clown statue at certain locations, and the same general menu regardless of where you are in the country (or the world, even). And, if done right, that menu serves up delicious food (or food product - but, whatever, it is TASTY and I am definitely not above it).
Why this particular location is a cut above the rest, deserves a review, and deserves a 5 star one at that:
- 24 hour drive thru
- A drive thru that moves incredibly fast and efficiently, for that matter
- Generally pleasant staff
- Of the 32 trips that I've made here in the past month or so (don't judge me, judger), the burgers and sandwiches (what she order? FISH FILET) have always been made-to-order, and the fries have been super crispy piping hot on probably 31 of those occasions.
What the what?! WIN.
I love McDonald's! Seriously, I don't know why people complain about it being gross. I could live off of 1 dollar plain double cheeseburgers. What people don't understand is you shouldn't judge these by regular burger standards. The meat is more like a grease patty. A grease patty that tastes like my childhood, so back off. McDonald's fries are FAR superior to In N Out's. Somebody told me that they have so many preservatives that they last weeks without a refrigerator. You know what? I see this as a positive. That means they are good FOREVER. Filet O Fish sandwich? That is my lunch every Friday of Lent. Pink Slime Chicken McNuggets? Okay, that is a little gross but now they have Chicken Mcbites which are like yummy little popcorn bites of goodness. Also, they have $1 dollar drinks. You can't get a bang for your buck anywhere else like you can at Mickey D's. Don't hate.
Review Source:OPEN 24 HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK!!!!!!
what else can you ask for? This is probably one of the best places to go during midterms and finals week. They have a drive through and it moves pretty fast. I must say the people who work there are pretty patient with us college students. I mean come on... sometimes we might be high or drunk making us obnoxious customers.
Also, $1 drinks now!!! You know you love that sweet tea!
Ok...honestly the only thing that keeps me returning to McD's is the $1 drinks. Where else can I get a large diet soda for a buck? I don't usually buy anything else...but we all know what kind of food is at McD's, right? But they're doing something right with the pricing of the soda's...otherwise they wouldn't be getting any money from me at all.
Review Source:Brilliant! Just a brilliant McDonalds. The exhilarating ride through the drive thru really whetted our appetites. Me and my Gustave slowly made our way through the dark but welcoming drive thru at 11 PM, greeted by a cheery and obviously not half-asleep or half-stoned employee. We WERE NOT ambushed by a homeless man which usually happens at a McDonald's drive thru at this hour. SUCCESS!!!
After diligently taking our order like a French waiter at a 3 star Michelin restaurant, the friendly employee beckoned us to pull further into the magnificent drive thru, as if we were two contestants on the Love Boat. While asking for our pay, she did NOT over charge us or mix up our order with the horny teenagers in the car in front of ours. SUCCESS AGAIN!!!
After we got our food, my diligent Gustave carefully inspected my Ice Tea with 50 creams for traces of worker-spit. NO SIGNS DETECTED!!!! By this time, we were both bursting with joy at our good fortune at choosing this obviously superbly run McDonalds. Seriously folks, if you live in a different state, and you want to patronize the world's best McDonald's, you ABSOLUTELY NEED to plan your next vacation here at Davis California, where dreams come true at the McDonald's on Chiles Rd. Seriously, if enough people have interest, we shall plan a campout here in this parking lot and use this McDonalds to fulfill our hopes and dreams.
As Gustave and I pulled away from this McDonalds, we shared a intimate look, with complete understanding between us that we have just experienced a slice of gourmet heaven. There were tears running down my eyes and more are a-coming as I remember this fond memory with euphoria. A perfectly made order, without a single order missed or unintentionally added. With perfectly returned change! Honestly, it makes me want to gallop back to this McDonalds as soon as possible. Next time, please join us!
Andrew wrote exactly what I was going to say; Aren't all McDonald's the same?
I don't really head to fast food places much anymore, but I do love coming here when I have late night craving. Â It provides a nostalgic feeling, bringing back fond college memories, when I order a 20 piece chicken nugget past midnight.
Also, I have a friend who I love tagging along with when she goes on these late night trips for a fish fillet sandwich.
The one item I do truly love here is the McGriddle, but I would never start a work day with that, and I am rarely awake early enough on weekends.
I've been to this McDonald's two weeks in a row on our way to Tahoe, with third week coming up. The mountain calls.
There isn't a lot that separates this McDonald's from the rest. Save the fact that it has a big acrylic penny-farthing bicycle in the dining area.
And the dew freezes over the tops of the outdoor tables like broken glass.
But is there a difference between Sausage McMuffin's served here than billions served elsewhere?
Not at all.
900.
Okay so they have all the menu items and a much larger dollar menu than McDonald's Express but this place sucks!
I'd rather go to the Express than this one. The food is not fresh, mostly cold, and the staff don't know what they are doing. I ordered a sweet tea and they asked if i ordered the coffee. Well done employees, well done.
Also most places usually ask if what dipping sauce you want when you get the mcnuggets, here they just give you whatever.
How can anyone rate a McDonald's? Aren't they all the same?
Not this McDonald's, I tell you. Â This one is magical.
Some of you are going to think that I was helpless and under the control of my empty stomach as I was experiencing all of this, but I assure you that is not the case. Â
For some reason, around midnight, the Filet O FIsh that this McDonald's provides is flawless. Â There are no cracks in the buns, giving it the appearance of a pillow with a fresh case that has not been slept on. Â The fish is cooked to a crisp unlike anything you would expect from a fast food restaurant. Â Each bite into the crisp is like a bite of a clean ocean wave. Â The amount of tartar sauce is measured so that each bite would be accompanied by plenty, but not so much that it spills from the confines of your mouth. Â Whenever I got this sandwich and opened the box, I had to pause in a moment of euphoria as it sat so innocently in its cardboard crib.
The next time you are hungry at midnight, I beg of you to live through this fairy tale.
This place made mah BELLY BIGG. It's Good.
Came here drunk few times, and the people working were nice, probably High.
I try to stop eating the food because it made mah BELLY BIGG, but I still drink coffee almost everyday.
I have since lost my BIG BELLY, and I miss rubbing it.
FIVE STARS!
Also, the ice IS crunchy, I like eating the ice.
As soon as I stepped foot through the door, my nose was spiced by competing aromas. Â The intoxicating scent of bubbling oil and salt was countered by a more subtle, musty ketchup undercurrent. Â Needless to say, my appetite was dampened from the get-go.
The restaurant itself was deeply steeped in the classic Americana decor McDonald's enthusiasts have come to love. Â From the sleek beige plastic counter tops, to the framed print of the Hamburgler, the atmosphere was sublime.
I got the chicken nuggets and they were coo.
You know there is something special about this place when you find yourself writing a review for it. Sure enough, I always leave satisfied from the 24 hours drive thru. To be able to put up with drunk and high college kids every single night, that is impressive...
The food here is standard like other McDonald's. Though one thing to note is that: If you order your nuggets at night, they usually give you one extra in the box. Uh yeah... hold up, I think I just jizzed...in...my...pants...
This place is awesome if you are studying for finals and need a quick dose of caffeine or some sweet ice cream to satisfy your taste buds. I love McDonald's. Fast food nation is awesome. Though if you are fat, you should probably watch your diet. Fast food is a luxury. Dollar Millionaire, that's me baby!
Hate to admit it, but I frequent this place more than I should. As someone who commutes to Sacramento for school everyday, and the fact that I live in East Davis, this place is just too convenient for me. The latest I've been here is around 3:30 am after a long night shift, pretty much the best place to get quick food late at night (the Jack in the Box downtown takes a bit too long after 2 am).
Service is usually pretty quick, and the staff has always been friendly, at least to me.
We were starving after a long day in Sacramento. Â We wanted something fast and easy and familiar. Â We gravitated towards McD's and it did not disappoint. Â Friend had the Big n' Tasty combo meal and I had the Filet o' Fish and fries. Â I don't remember the exact difference between a Big n' Tasty and a Quarter Pounder, Whooper, Big Mac, or whatever else. Â I love eating a Filet o' Fish,because any health benefits from eating fish are completed negated by deep frying it and smothering mayonnaise-based sauce over it.
FTW
Haha, it's funny that I'm writing a review on a McDonald's...but damn, I feel like I owe them something! I come here almost every night because I live so damn close, it's a fcking curse.
My usual: 6 piece nugget meal w/ sweet&sour and bbq sauce w/ a powerade and a McChicken.
Yes, I know I'm a fat ass.
I live by this McDonald's so I go here often whenever I want some McDonald's.
The 24 hour drive through is great.
The service has always been good, anytime of the day.
You can go wrong with some McNuggets or Large French Fries late at night.
Since Davis is a college town, this is a good place to get coffee at night when regular coffee shops are not open.
Out of the restaurants it's near, Burger King & Taco Bell, I'd pick this joint.
bicycle themed mcdonald's....wheelsets with tires mounted....crystal clear plastic bike centerpiece a finishing touch.....twenty-four hours open posted....sure stop for 80 east travel to lake tahoe....davis bringing back ucdavis aggie days memory.....and davis mcdonald's delivering the goods....being further from ucdavis campus off mace....less crowds with seating plenty.....
location serving up a personal favorites for specials.....filet-o-fish and six-piece chicken mcnuggets, or two orders of either for $four....make it a meal for $five point nine nine.....*drool~~~*.....filet-o-fish and mcnuggets a favorite.....also mention mcdonald's coffee being excellent.....
