McDonald’s to Roll Out Fresh Beef Nationwide | Eater

"After a multi-year rollout, fresh (rather than frozen) Quarter Pounders are now being served across most U.S. locations (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), a change described as the most significant operational shift since All Day Breakfast. Implementing it required major supply-chain and infrastructure work — specially designed packaging to preserve quality during transport, new refrigerators with tailored compressors, dedicated blue containers and gloves for handling fresh patties, and expanded training and tightened food-safety procedures. Franchisees have raised concerns about potential food-safety risks and slightly slower service because the fresh patties are cooked to order (adding roughly a minute), but early tests found the new sandwiches juicier and more flavorful and produced notable sales gains in test markets. The move is part of a broader “better ingredients” strategy that previously included removing artificial preservatives from nuggets and switching to cage-free eggs, and it demonstrates the chain’s scale as a dominant buyer whose changes can reshape the wider food industry." - Whitney Filloon

Never have a problem with my order here but the drive through is really tight so if you got a big SUV or Truck best to just park and walk in. Great customer service! Had an employee posted up outside taking orders like chick-fil-a

A run down tired McD. Their menu boards don't work . So how do they expect you to order something? Poor management oversight and maintenance of this store! Sure, there's the homeless issues all around, but at least TRY to keep up some standards. The parking lot is full of deep potholes also. I see hope the new tenant in the Foodland space fixes things up!

Ordered a local deluxe and other things through the drive thru, came home ate the other things i ordered first, opened the local deluxe, which is Portuguese sausage, spam, eggs and rice. Took me a second to realize that instead of my eggs being there, they just gave me more rice. 1/4 of the ingredients of the entree was missing, Went in to complain, Manager gave me a sigh and a pathetic apology, just one you give to get rid of me, replaced my meal and didn't offer me anything for my troubles? I mean i had to drive there an extra time and the manager made me feel like i was inconveniencing her with my issue, just incase you want to give her a pass about it being busy, when i was in there, there was no one else in line. In addition, they always have trouble with their ice machine, they put up signs saying no ice for drinks, it's up so often that i can't tell if it's a new sign or an old one that they didn't bring down. Poor horrible experience, at other Mcdonald's at least they offer more than an apology, and offer to provide you with free menu items or a refund for them screwing up, not this one....THIS one if they mess up, it's your fault? Or that's the feeling i was getting. I'm sure no one at this location will read this, so I won't be expecting a reply or anything, I know Fast food is a thankless job, and the pay sucks, but managers are suppose to be responsible and take accountability for things when they go wrong.

During my few previous visits at this McDonald’s specifically, I would like to say that it was all disappointments. Whenever I would go there for lunch, dinner or just a soda, I realized that the Coca-Cola tastes super watery & that the syrup tastes funny too. It has been like that for a very long time. My visit today was not bad since I told the worker that the Coca-Cola from the soda fountain for customers tasted flat (watery), she just gave me a new one from their Kitchen’s soda fountain which tasted fine. Whenever I go to other McDonald’s in the State of Hawaii, their fountain soda isn’t always flat. If it was then the workers would fix it immediately! The First Floor smells like a urinal because of homeless people coming in and out.

Absolutely disgusting with likely health code violations. Whole restaurant is filthy and stinks. The faucets in the restrooms don't work so how do the employees wash their hands before preparing your food?

How sad has Hawaii become that homeless take over parking lots, yell like crazy people and just rude. This location is a great area filled with shitty homeless people every where so McDonald’s does nothing to clean it up. No security and it just looks and feels terrible. Most people drive thru because it’s so bad. The staff inside at the counter are non existent, drive thru and Uber eats is priority. Avoid this location.

I'm allergic to onions and they put onions on my burger after me telling them that. Then had to go in to replace it then got back out to my car and that one had onions as well! I had to go back in and by the time I got out with my burger my chicken strips and my fries were cold just an overall horrible experience

Located on the corner of School st and Liliha st, decided to grab a quick breakfast sandwich. For take out. The dining area is normally crowded, downstairs with only about 5 tables, they do have upstairs dining with the restrooms upstairs. They have a stair case and elevator to go up, but hardly the area is not maintained and not cleaned regularly, so decided to bring it home and eat. The Egg McMuffin at Macdonald always can't be beat for the breakfast sandwich compared to other fast food restaurants, they have the best.

I've been to this McDonald's a few times. The service is a hit or a miss. The soft serve ice cream machine is down at times, but I guess that's with most McDonald's. They just rolled out a new McFlurry called Grandma. It's vanilla soft serve with butterscotch syrup and crumbled butterscotch candy. OMG, it's so good. I'm addicted, lol. I got this one on Wednesday and was hooked. It wasn't overly sweet. This location didn't give too much syrup and candy though. I went to another location the next day and they gave way more.

At the drive-thru and my order wasn't ready. Was told to pull into one of the stalls right outside the drive-thru exit. First it was just me parked there. Then two others parked. The worker came walking out with a bag and went straight to the 3rd car as it just parked and handed them the bag. I thought that had to be mine. Then the worker starts walking back. The customer starts going through the bag and pulling out the items. Then she realizes it's not her order! I am looking right at her. Then the worker sees me and realizes that she might have given it to the wrong car. She goes back, gets the bag and brings it to me. I tell the worker that I was right here the whole time and how did she not see me!? All she can muster is "oh sorry" and walks away just looking at me like I was wrong! Called the manager, Lei, to let her know what happened. She was no help. She kept saying sorry. Then she said what do I want? I said I don't want you to give me anything, I just want you to train your employees better so this doesn't happen again! Jeez, wtf happened to customer service. SMFH

This place is a total s*** show. I never eat McDonalds. I came to get my work bestie a collector's cup. I went inside so I could ask the cashier to look for the particular serial number that I wanted. Meanwhile, I observed a lady come in asking for the restroom. She was told to go upstairs because the 1st floor restroom was out of order . The stair case to the 2nd floor lights were all turned off, but yet they still advised her to go up. This was about 8pm, so it was dark to begin with and especially with the lights off on the stairs. I thought that was dangerous and a liability. OMG!!!! The lady comes running down frantically. She went straight to the counter to tell the employees that when she opened the door to the women's restroom there was a homeless man in there!!! The employees and the MANAGER who was also a woman didn't even flinch!! They didn't even offer to go upstairs or call the police. A few minutes later the homeless man comes downstairs. There was a local Uncle who observed the situation and started yelling at him to leave. He also told him to never go into a woman's restroom. He also said out loud that she could've been raped. The manager still didn't do or say anything to the frantic lady. This place is DANGEROUS. Management and staff do not take the proper precautions to ensure customers safety.I would've used the drive thru, but again, I wanted the specific cup and didn't want to hold up the drive thru line.

I've been to a lot mcdonalds on Oahu and found that your store in Liliha has quite a bit of employees including more then one manager but Boi I found this mcdonalds being the slowest McDonald's on the island every single time . what is up with that? I mean it looks like you have more then enough workers and half of them are m but still it looks like they cannot handle. Liliha store is too too slow and long drive thru and in store lines. RIDICULOUS!!! Your Kahala store tops it all, they are fast great customer service and very efficient! So two thumbs up for Kahala mcdonalds!

With closure of Foodland the parking lot has more space, but it has become a homeless encampment. No more self service soda machine at this location. At meal times this is a very busy location. Drive up is pretty fast

If you ever have problems with management at this McDonald's and you report it on their corporate website and you get a call from the store manager named Lydia and she will bribe you with free French fries and then tell you to report all problems from her restaurant to her mobile number. Please do not send your future concerns or complains to her. Always report your complaints to the McDonalds corporate website and if she texts you or call you, do not answer or respond always again report your complaints to the corporate restaurant that will scare, teach, and discipline restaurant management and employees.

.5 star lol Worst mcdonalds EVER. I think old people should not be cashiers! They have semi-senility and dont hear correctly. They should ask and not assume if they heard correctly by repeating the order! Wrong platter and coffee made wrong!!! Buyer beware! TERRIBLE!!!

The staff here is very kind! It is a busy location so be prepared for a line if it's lunch or dinner time. :) the seating area is extremely clean! We like to sit upstairs. The ladies here make the most perfect I've cream cone I've ever seen at McDonald's! I wish they had a tip option when paying! If Starbucks has it, McDonald's should too.

They need to pave their ground. The ground has huge holes that are getting deeper. It has been that way for a while now. I am worried that my car's alignment will break when I go to the drive-thru. And why they don't have any ice cream available all the time??

You need to take the time to train your employees. Came here this morning, 3:15am. Drove to the drive thru and placed order for breakfast items. Mind you, the young lady took a long time to take my order....about 5 mins of waiting at the speaker. We get to the window and we figure out she's new. It was clear the female manager was also at wits end as we hear, "Well you need to tell them." So the trainee then tells us our breakfast order that she took is not available. They don't serve breakfast till 4am. Why did she not tell us when she was taking our order?!?!? McD.....you need to do better with training your staff I get it. People are hard to find but come on.

Let's start with the fact that there's holes in the walls all over the place then add how it smells, then, finally, how there's no organization for lines. Put that all on the side and then ... you want to charge me $.52 for a cup of ice when you hardly put any ice in my large cup of warm "ICED" TEA! This was after you watched a woman bring in her igloo JUG, rinse it at the soda fountain, then FILL IT with Powerade, said NOTHING to her, and let her walk right out!

I typically frequent McDonald's Liliha in the mornings around 6 am and 7 am. What is irritating to me is that there is a maintenance person that cleans the drive through lane when the cars are waiting in line. It is very dangerous to have this person walking in front and back of the cars in line. Around that time, it's still dark. Also, this same person washes the walkway on the side of the restaurant. This person gets the hose and unintentionally splatters the cars waiting in the drive through area. When I do order the apple pie, it's not even hot. Other than that, the employees at the windows are nice.

I got to the drive through at 12:15 AM. Waited at the ordering window for 5 minutes. The lights for the menu go off and when I look behind they put a trash can in the driveway. This place isn't 24 hours. They always block the driveway from 12AM-2AM. Terrible customer service.

I'm a little torn. I only do the drive thur here because I'm hesitant to get out of my car with this place being overrun with mentally disturbed homeless people. I hate this parking lot and I also avoid the Foodland sharing this parking lot. The reason for four stars is the staff does the best they can in a bad situation. The food always tastes like McDonalds, and they are a friendly group. I can't ding a place because the City and County of Honolulu can't manage the neighborhood.

Let me start off by saying that employees are always super nice and friendly! That's the good news. The bad news is it's expensive, it's always crowded with a long drive through line, and you can never ever ever ever get a milkshake.

Started my morning off at 5am with a breakfast meal from McDonald's. Got a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit meal today and instead of a soft drink, I got a bottled water, which is also an alternative drink option. So when you order a biscuit, you automatically assume that biscuits are soft but this morning, my biscuit was not soft at all. And mind you, I have grandma teeth so biting into a hard biscuit was a bit hard. Some days McDonald's would have their biscuits nice, soft and fresh and other days it's the complete opposite: hard, and dry. So it's a hit or miss.

Ordered A Caramel Frappe and a Mocha Frappe on the uber app both drinks were INCORRECT, the corrective action both parties should've taken is say there is NO FRAPPES available and contact the people that ORDERED THE FOOD and made sure the customer is satisfied, if they haven't made that clear enough it should have been made clear from the start, if i could give this store half a star I would, but thats not the case in this moment.

The worst McDonald's I have ever been too. The workers ended up arguing with the customers, the worst customer service and the food isn't correct. They don't own up to their mistakes and I am not sure who runs that fast food place but they should've closed down and Foodland should have been there. I had made 2 online mobile orders to pick up on different days because i was hungry for fries and stuff. I had a friend pick it up and when I got it, the fries wasn't hot and it was missing something from my order. I used to work for McDonald's years ago and it was the best, we competed with each other to see who got the best customer service, it was 30 second service, it was the best. Now days, it's not the same, the workers are lazy and have poor customer service. Someone should look into closing that place down and bring back Foodland. Crisi

We went through the McDonald's by Liliha Foodland and I had the worse service from the woman taking orders and payments, her manager was no better. I will never go back there again. No wonder their star ratings are so low. So much for being friendly and customer oriented. Awful drive through service!

Spicy chicken sandwich is on my order list every time.. I never thought abt need to open the package to check inside the restaurant abt their food fresh or not till I home.. the chicken obviously not fresh, it looks like from yesterday or the day before! I cannot imagine I need to open to find it out their food fresh or not inside the restaurant in the future.

This place just kinda closes when the fuck ever. I normally don't post reviews, especially for fast food, but come the fuck on. This is re-goddamn-diculous. Figure it the fuck out, you're an American institution. What's worse is they head home and don't inform a single mother fucker. If you order from any service for delivery, it says they're open and you end up waiting an hour or more to be disappointed. Only after you ask your delivery driver through the app do you find out you're not getting anything. Fix this. Seriously. i have been disappointed repeatedly. Just fucking say you're not open 24 hours you fucking assholes. I have voiced concern and frustration through multiple avenues, but nothing. There's no closed or open sign, just a fucking trash can in front of the drive through entrance. Fuck these assholes. Figure it the fuck out. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

While on vacation, I was told I had to try the McDonalds Delux Breakfast. Vacation in Hawaii to eat McDonalds breakfast...? I love McGriddles just as much as any good American, but for reals? I did as told and randomly picked this location. It's just like any other Micky D's nothing truly special. I ordered the Deluxe Breakfast and noticed that it was different. There was Spam, Portuguese Sausage, Rice, and Eggs. Talk about a great breakfast! The meats were awesome but for some reason it was the rice that stood out as extra tasty. Well worth it and it needs to make its way to the mainland. And then I saw a beauty that I haven't seen since the Hot link Bagel dog: The Haupia aka "the fried McDonalds pie." It had a delicious coconut filling and they still fry the pies here. Damned be the heath nuts that did away with fried apple pies. Flakey, creamy and a perfect treat that I miss from childhood. If you're in Hawaii, I recommend trying out the breakfast at McDonalds. You won't be disappointed.

Always a good place to get your fast food fix. Good burgers, and their chicken sandwiches are pretty good, especially their spicy chicken. The McNuggets are a guilty pleasure of mine.

1 Star. I do not recommend this location. I've been here many, many times and have almost always had issues but this visit was the last time. I'll never go back. Read below for a detailed review of each component. Food: My friend and I ordered 2 bacon, egg and cheese biscuits, which are 2 for $4. Instead, we received 2 sausage biscuits (no bacon, no egg, no cheese) which are $1 each, and more importantly, NOT what we wanted to eat. Service: Not friendly. The line was pretty long. When we got to the register, the server did not smile at us. We asked her what were the sandwiches that were on the 2 for $4 menu, and she just walked away without saying anything (while my friend was still talking to her). She came back with the dollar menu, which didn't even answer our question. That's pretty bad already, but the fact that our order was almost entirely wrong is just too much. I mean seriously...to completely mess it up, all they had to do was put it in a muffin instead of a biscuit! *eye roll* Ambiance: Very crowded, hectic, and uncomfortable. There seemed to be a bottleneck in ordering, which caused the line to wind all the way to the door, blocking the entrance. But clearly there are issues in the back as well, since food was taking long to get out and it was wrong when it came out. People who placed their order were forced to constantly be moving around, trying to get out of the way. Overall experience: I think anyone who goes to a fast food place has experienced something being wrong with their order, so by now we are all pretty good about checking in the bag to see if we've at least got the right number of items. But to now be expected to actually unwrap our items and open it up to ensure that they've been made correctly, that's just unacceptable. And can you still call it "fast" food if you have to wait so long for it? Final words: I do not recommend this location. Slow service, unfriendly staff and most importantly, chances are your order will be wrong. It's an incredibly busy location so I have to assume that things are so bad here because they're understaffed. I'm sure no one there intends to be rude or mess things up on purpose, and a part of me feels for the team there, because they're probably all really stressed out. But that being said, I just can't continue to patronize a business that consistently provides me with a bad customer experience. Shameless plug: Like my reviews? Feel free to also check out other things I'm into by following me on IG: @kim_n_theworld :) LOVE my reviews? Prove it by voting. *wink* Thanks for reading!

Well it was a ok dining experience for me. I was hoping that when I asked for a cup of water, i didn't know that they charged 52 cents, usually a water cup is free. I was wondering when did this take place? I was really surprised that they did charge that much! I was like...what?! But anyways at least I was happy to get the 2/6.00 items here and they actually got it right for a change and i was really surprised. Most of the places don't honor and rushing to get the orders to the customers right away. Hopefully this will be a good lesson for me. Also I am glad that it was a average place to eat at at least to say, and hopefully it will be better the next time I return to this location to eat
