McDonald's Menu Prices at 34101 Monterey Ave ★3.8 (1587)

I don’t normally write reviews for fast-food places—especially McDonald’s—but this location absolutely deserves it. The McDonald’s at **34101 Monterey Ave. in Rancho Mirage** is truly something special. The moment you walk in, it feels warm, inviting, and full of life. So many McDonald’s today feel modern but cold and sterile—this one is the complete opposite. It’s vibrant, colorful, and welcoming. From the bright, cheerful mural on the wall to the colorful lighting, it honestly feels like the McDonald’s of yesterday��in the best possible way. What really sets this location apart is the people. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with genuine “hello,” “welcome,” and “good morning” from the staff. They were friendly, upbeat, and eager to help. **Jack, Adriana, and Christian were absolutely top-notch.** Jack went above and beyond—offering to get us anything we needed, delivering our meal to our table, and even asking if he could grab our sodas for us. He was also constantly cleaning and keeping the dining area spotless. Everything looked fantastic. Adriana greeted everyone with a warm smile and a truly welcoming presence. And then there’s **Christian**, who completely blew me away. I watched him go from table to table checking on guests, asking if they were okay or needed anything. When he took orders out to cars and curbside, he carried a tray with extra sauces, napkins, and items *just in case* people needed them. That level of thoughtfulness and attention is incredibly rare—especially in fast food. Here’s the moment that really sealed it for me: it was **10:33 a.m.**, and the menu had just switched to lunch. An older couple came in hoping to order breakfast. Most McDonald’s wouldn’t even hesitate to say no. Instead, Jack said, *“Let me go check.”* He went to the back, confirmed they still had breakfast items available, and they happily made it for them anyway. This place feels different. It feels cared for. It feels human. Other McDonald’s locations should absolutely observe how this team operates—this is the standard. I am unbelievably impressed. The service here truly blew me away, and I’m so glad we chose to eat inside. It reminded me of what McDonald’s used to be, when people genuinely wanted to help. Highly, highly recommended.

They're not consistent when it's supposed to be 24hrs. As a delivery person, it's a waste of gas when you get an order and it's closed! They're also extremely slow in the kitchen after midnight. I've sat in the drive thru for 10 minutes at a time.

Ive been to this location 2 times, both times they’ve been EXTREMELY rude, the first time they had like 3 missing items from my order, the second time I ordered breakfast at 10:20 and arrived at 10:30, keep in mind I had already paid for the food in advanced since I knew breakfast was ending and the girl at the speaker 1. No customer service whatsoever 2. She rudely said “your items are unavailable” and I asked her how if I paid for them already and I paid beforehand? And she said “well imma cancel your order”, I work fast food myself, and these workers are constantly giving attitude, just because your having a bad shift doesn’t mean give horrible customer experience. Wasting my damn time.

Used the app to get curbside pick up, but the app never notified me that my order was complete. I finally went inside and asked about my order in which case I was approached by two people said it was done over an hour ago and they had thrown it away. They said they would remake it. I said the app never told me it was done. They walked away. Then when I tried to show the guy that the app never notified me it just showed me some dancing french fries he laughed in my face, said that it was ready an hour ago and I ordered it an hour ago and wanted to know if I was the one who made the order. Luckily my fiancé was on the phone and heard the attitude. He gave me my drinks so I could fill them myself mind you I had gotten curbside pick up as as I’m filling the drinks. I hear him run to the back and start telling all of the back employees about how I had supposedly given him attitude. I don’t know if the attitude was because I was a female because when my fiancé came to confront him, he hid behind the machines. The manager refused to give me his name so that when I call corporate, I can’t complain on the specific guy, but I know we’ll register he was at in the time so you must believe I’m not only leaving a verified Google review, but I’m also gonna be calling corporate. Don’t waste your time eating here because the atmosphere sucks just get drive-through if that it’s kind of too expensive anyways, so I suggest eating any other place that doesn’t give you a stomach ache afterwards.

I went by the drive-thru at about 5:30 a.m. and ordered a #2 combo with coffee and also 2 for $6 sausage mc muffins for about $12. The food was hot and fresh and taste great! The drive-thru lady was very courteous and I got my order super quick. Good thing too I was so hungry! Kudos to them!
