Mcdonald's

It was very nostalgic and the food seemed alot better then here in new york the staff was very friendly and inviting. Never had such a delightful experience in a McDonald's before and to see all the item I remember in the past on display was so awesome. My kids also enjoyed it alot. The manger even gave my daughter (11 years old) a hat because he playfully offered a job. It was well kept and also clean definitely an experience to visit the oldest McDonald's still around with a rich history.

Well, like any other McDonald's, staff friendly,$$ pricing is getting high considering what they used to look like but it's understandable,clean environment, fun to know that this is one of the only McDonald's that had its old nostalgic charm and appearance, food well again if you like Mickey d's well this would be a cool place to come with the family and qalk through the museum part that pretty much opens everyday!! 😋🤡🤡

This McDonald’s in Downey, CA was opened in 1953. Today, it is still operational and is officially the world’s oldest surviving McDonald’s. It is even considered a tourist attraction complete with its own small museum and gift shop. At the time of its creation and for several decades after, this McDonald’s was quite different from other existing McDonald’s outlets, as it was the only one that was franchised with the McDonald brothers and not with Ray Kroc, meaning it was not given any modernization requirements following Kroc’s takeover of the franchise. As such, it had a different menu and didn’t even implement the famous Big Mac into it. In 1990, it was finally taken under Kroc’s McDonald’s Corporation but then was damaged by the Northridge earthquake in 1994. Due to all this, the corporation wanted to demolish it, but the outlet was listed on the National Trust for Historic Preservations’ 11 Most Endangered Historic Places that very year, causing many to demand that it was saved. The corporation eventually decided to restore and repair the restaurant and it reopened successfully. I think it's one of the only places where you can get an apple pie that is deep fried vice baked. The thing tastes like an apple flavored churro. It's quite delicious.

The food is no different from any other McDonalds and the soft serve machine is just about as dysfunctional as any other soft serve machine at your standard McDonalds. However, I had to pay a visit to this particular McDonalds due to its history. This McDonalds happens to be the third McDonalds ever opened (1953) and is, in fact, the oldest operating McDonalds in the world. Because of its historic age, there's a small walk through portion alongside the restaurant. Inside the miniature museum, lifeless promotions created a half century ago by the iconic restaurant and previous iterations of happy meals line the showcases. I would definitely recommend going to see some of this restaurant's iconic history if you get a chance.
