“My family and I LOVE In-N-Out. As usual, this place was busy. Also as usual, the staff were amazing at handling all the madness. My 4yr old son and I ordered our food, they gave him a set of crayons and a hat, we got our drinks and watched as the amazing staff did their magic. Food was great, as usual 😋“

“If you're looking for an authentic, Philly steak sandwich, look no further
These guys make each sandwich to order and everything is fresh and delicious. Don't get me started about the fries. You could order them plain or I understand you can order them Philly style. Going to have to try that next time. Let me know what you think of this. Fabulous local spot“

I sat in the adjacent parking lot and devoured a meal fit for this diva! I will definitely return for some of the interesting entrées listed on the diverse menu! ✔️???“

“I’ve been coming to this location for 20+ years. Always a good experience. My only complaint is the salsa being packaged in bags. The bags are not the easiest to open, they are messy when eating, and half the salsa ends up wasted because it spills from the side of the bag. Please go back to putting salsa in cups.“

“Team Magnolia did a great job. The employees knew their customer Chris by name in front of us. I had a polish sandwich. My husband loves your chili dogs. Our fries were way too salty for us but.... Most customers love them that way. The main lobby and bathrooms were very clean. The trash cans in the lobby and outside didn't have trash sticking out of then like you see most fast food places. 👍 I understand since you no longer provide paper towels and have an air machine to dry our hands, there is no need to put a small trash can in there. You still need one. Most customers will use the disposable toilet seat covers to grab the door handle so they don't get public germs on their hands after washing them. They need a trash can for that and/or femine disposal items from guests. I didn't see one of those in there either. Thanks for allowing me to provide feedback. We heart Dee Weinnerschnitzel.“

San Diego is lucky to have them...I wish they made it out to some other states. Also the price is always great. You are not going to break your bank here.“

“Fast food burger place that started in santa barbara years ago. Everything is made to order. I had the portobello mushroom burger. The sauces were nice. I haven't been I would definitely ask if they could cook the thin burger not quite so dry. My son had a combo plate cheeseburger. No complaints and better than the ones that keep things on steam tables. The fries were good.“

“Cashier was helpful. The new remodel is cool. Though my kid didn't like the removal of the little game screens they used to have. But less germs to spread that way I guess. It is actually a unfriendly environment for kids now, nothing like what it was when I was growing up. I couldn't find the free wifi connection so they may have taken that way also. There was also knats bothering us while we ate, they kept flying in our faces and trying to get our food. So we had to eat fast and get out of there. Which seems like that was what McDonald's wants customers to do now anyways, it isn't a spot to chill anymore.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly anymore. And kids meals are $6+

“Quick and easy, good food, great rewards program and easy parking. Sometimes, feel a bit rushed through and area to eat is small but clean. The tea and Lychee drinks are fantastic.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but if you're picky about oil used, just ask.

Parking: The location in Rancho San Diego can be tricky to park close but there's a huge parking lot nearby if you don't mind crossing the little parking lot road. There are other businesses nearby if multiple options are needed and there's a Soapy Joe's car wash if you need a car wash. Otger locations are available all over the city with a drive through in south bay near Notth Island Credit Union Amphitheater and Sesame place water park.“
