McDonald's

Took my boys here today just to check it out. It’s one of the few McDonald’s locations that still has a play area, so they had a blast running around and burning off some energy. Honestly, that alone made the stop worth it. Food-wise, it’s the usual McDonald’s stuff—nothing special, nothing bad. Same Big Mac, same fries. They’ve got some memorabilia and a bit of history on McDonald’s and the Big Mac, which is cool if you’re into that kind of thing. There’s a giant Big Mac statue for photos, which the kids thought was funny. Overall, it’s not a place I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in the area, it’s worth stopping in once just to say you did. One of those “cool for a quick visit” kind of spots.

The service at this McDonald's was the worst I have ever experienced. We tried to make a quick stop before getting on the turnpike and went inside so we could stretch our legs before the long drive. We were the only ones in there and waited 30 mins for our food to come out. And it would have been longer if one of the other people with us didn't keep going to counter and telling the workers what to do (He used to manage 13 McDonald's) there was no leadership so the workers were not able coordinate and delegate jobs.

We came to this because of the Big Mac Museum..... We actually kind of went out of our way on our road trip.... Not to be mean but it wasn't worth it. It was just a few items displayed and you could easily see it online..... We only bought a drink.

​A nostalgic trip to McDonald's can be a truly unique experience, especially when you encounter a location that has preserved its history. I recently visited a McDonald's that was unlike any other. It was a journey back in time, not just to the golden arches of my youth, but to a chapter of my life I had almost forgotten. ​As I stepped inside, I was immediately struck by the decor. It wasn't the sterile, modern look of most new locations. Instead, the walls were adorned with old McDonald's memorabilia, a treasure trove of forgotten marketing campaigns and Happy Meal toys. The sight of old styrofoam cups and the original Ronald McDonald gang brought a smile to my face. It was like walking through a museum dedicated to my childhood. The colors, the fonts, the images of characters I hadn't thought about in years—it all came flooding back. ​This trip down memory lane was particularly poignant for me. I used to be a manager at a McDonald's in Fresno, California, back in the day. Seeing these old artifacts brought back a flood of memories from that time. I remembered the long hours, the frantic lunch rushes, the smell of the fries, and the camaraderie with my crew. This particular McDonald's, with its preserved history, was a testament to the brand's evolution, and it was fascinating to see how far it has come from the days I knew it. ​This McDonald's was truly "cool" and different from the common stores. It was more than just a place to grab a quick bite; it was a curated experience, a tribute to the brand's enduring legacy. It offered a rare glimpse into the past, a chance to reconnect with memories and a history that has touched so many lives. For anyone who has a soft spot for McDonald's or is simply curious about its past, a visit to a historical location like this is a must. It's a reminder that even the most common things can hold a unique and personal history.

When they first reopened this was a huge disappointment. The museum is small and everyone makes a big deal over it when it's a few display cases scattered amongst the tables. Don't feed this poison to your children. You're already a horrible parent if you're reading this and you already do. As a child I didn't know any better but as a adult I'm 100% aware that this will only cause long term health issues.

Best/Friendliest McDonald’s I’ve ever been too. Ordered 3 McFlurrys at the drive through. Got to the window and handed them my card for them to let me know the card machine is down and it’s cash only. Well I didn’t have any cash on me, so they told me to pull ahead and that the order was free. Then when I got to the second window, they informed me it would only be a minute they have to change the mix but offered us some free waters while we wait.

Food is always cold, every time I use the drive through they make pull forward.and wait, yet somehow the fries are always cold. They make you pay for sauce and 9/10 times you never even receive it with your order. Rude employees. Never going back.

I asked for a sauce and on of the employees said “I’m going to have to charge you buddy”. I always just get one for free. I didn’t have close to enough sauce for my fries and tenders. I’m not paying 25 cents a sauce: thank you for all the employee that will willing to give me sauce. Normally this location is okay but not this time.

Home of the Big Mac museum... which is fitting, because by the time you get your drive through order, you'll belong in a museum. The world's slowest fast food, and I'm not even kidding. The food is actually usually fresh, but I've never been served food in under 20 minutes; it's a disaster.

We've lived in Pittsburgh for about 4 years and this place was on our bucket list. We aren't big McDonald's fans, but when the Big Mac was invented in Pittsburgh...it is worth a stop. This location is essentially like any other McDs you've been to, but this one has a few display cases of the history of the Big Mac and some memorabilia. It was fun to read up on and check off an item on our bucket list. Did I go away a bigger McDs fan? Nah, but it was worth the trek to North Huntingdon to have a little history lesson while enjoying a tried and true Big Mac.

I normally do not review McDonald's but this one is special. It is the home of the birth of the Big Mac. The sandwich was created by Jim Delligatti, one of the first McDonald's franchisees in an effort to give adults a burger of their own. This McDonalds is huge. They have a nice new playland, with a large jungle gym and seating. What sets this McDonald's apart though, is that it is home to the first and only Big Mac museum. It is a very small museum, and has a long Big Mac timeline starting with the inception of the delicious sandwich back in 1967 to the roll out of its world famous jingle in 1974, to the Build a Big Mac Game in 1981. You will also find some Big Mac memorabilia here. The restaurant's dining area was notably clean, tidy and trendy. The restaurant looks like it may have been recently renovated. The restaurant seems to be having some staffing issue though. They have been having to close the restaurant early and the dining room even earlier which made me almost miss it. This is not a destination restaurant, but it is a nice place to visit if you are in the area. The staff was very friendly and I cannot express how clean it was. Go check it out.

The Big Mac museum is small but worth the stop for a foodie. There is a huge big mac in the play area as well as big mac memorabilia in display cases. As for the food...I don't recommend ordering from here just go to see the "museum". We waited almost a half an hour being told our order hadn't come in and then randomly had our food out at the pick up area. The fries were cold. And the chicken nuggets were barely warm. So, I do regret getting food but I don't regret seeing the Big Mac Museum, it's definitely worth a visit. I do find it interesting how important Mcdonalds is for Pittsburgh! There's a Mcdonalds Appreciation Day...who knew!

This is the only McDonald's whose computers won't receive your online order for 20 to 30 minutes... maybe this excuse would be reasonable in a remote region of Alaska or somewhere. The museum was cool and worth a visit. I wish we had just walked inside saw all of the displays and went to another McDonald's location. The three stars is for the displays, employees and this location would be worth one or two stars, the fries we were served were not fresh but we needed to leave so we just threw them away.

This particular location has been riddled with quality issues for a while. Out of all the fast food restaurants in the Irwin area, this is the one that has the highest likelihood of screwing up the drive through orders. It's more often than not that if we go there at least one thing in the order is missing. I have two young kids who love their happy meals, but I am so fed up with this location's quality of service that I'm likely not going back. RIP.

This is a corporate-owned McDonald's restaurant located off the Turnpike, known as The Big Mac Museum. Given its corporate affiliation, one would expect the exterior of the restaurant to be more aesthetically appealing. Unfortunately, the sidewalks are in need of pressure washing and maintenance. However, in terms of the overall experience, everyone at this location is very helpful and friendly. As always, McDonald's provides a consistent experience, and I highly recommend visiting. I would like the management to take note of this comment and prioritize cleaning the sidewalks.

Tonight I went to McDonalds. I asked them for a double cheeseburger with no toppings on it. They decided to give me two pattys, two slices of cheese, and NO bun inside of a tupperware container. I was in shock. I also asked for a dr. pepper and instead they gave me orange juice. I was completely disappointed with my experience at mcdonald's.

This was the coolest McDonald's that I've been to in my life. Because it was actually different than other McDonald's and I've been to. This one is right outside of Pittsburgh and it is the world big Mac museum. I thought it was awesome and we visited they have big old big Macs everywhere and his tire that I got my first big Mac. I'm not a big McDonald's person and I don't really eat out that much but when we were here at the Big Mac museum of course you had to get a big Mac.

Ordered on the phone app, thought it would be faster and easier... nope. Husband went to pick up, waited a long time. And they still got it wrong. Tried calling, no one picked up. Thanx!

The BigMac was exactly what I expected it to be so I have to give props to McDonalds for always maintaining consistency. What brought me in today though was actually the Big Mac museum! There are about a dozen display cases around the restaurant highlighting Big Mac memorabilia from the 1960s to now. I thought it was really cool to see as most of the info was new to me and gave me a better idea for how the burger and promotions have changed over time. Definitely worth a peek if you're in the PGH region

I took my kid here because we had a long day. After 2 hours of hard work at home, we really just wanted the Grimace Shake for dear old Grimace's Birthday. Well, if you are looking to get yourself some of the new grimace juices, best hang that up before you walk in the door. They are all out. If the wait wasn't long enough, you won't get no grimmy milk-shake either. I've known how AWFUL their wait is but damn, just for a shake. For Pete's sake. AND the poor old woman wearing the cute Y2K pop shirt that had to make this was so sad. No refund, just vanilla milkshake and a LOWSEY meal with soggy nuggets and tender fries that felt like I took a potato warmed it up and ate it warm and raw. DO NOT GO THERE! Go to the one is Norwin Square or Greensburg. God knows they won't ruin dear old Grim's birthday like the workers at Irwin do time and time again. For Shame!

Apparently an order of 10 piece nuggets comes as 8 lol 1 for me and 2 for you ............... noice

Waited 40 minutes for a double cheeseburger while no one else was there. Better to go to my grandma's grave. Still quicker

Management should be absolutely appalled. The extreme lack of product quality is only overshadowed by the even worse service. Constantly forgetting items in the order, burnt food, raw food....the only consistency is the low quality. I have tolerated it for years for my child, but today's order (4 items) were all screwed up. Management needs replaced.

Runs just like your average McDonald's. Some cool history here and there. My real rate is 3.5 / 5 but I'm a fat a$$ so 5/5

Not the biggest fan of McD but crave a Shamrock Shake this time of year. Ordered some food also. Was surprisingly IMPRESSED!! Delicious! Clean restaurant. Very friendly staff. Highly efficient. Kool play room for the kids! Excellent location! Highly recommended!!

Always fast workers are nice wish every Mcdonald's was ran this well! They haven't messed up any orders an it's always hot!

The only reason I'm writing a review of this particular McDonald's location, is because it is also a museum of sorts (https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/mcd/our_company-old/mcdonalds_history_timeline/museums/big_mac_museum_restaurant.html) to the Big Mac which was invented by Jim Delligatti in nearby Uniontown, PA. While I don't eat at McDonald's often, since I was in the area I stopped by to check out the exhibits which included a 14-ft Big Mac statue, LCD TVs with McDonald's related content, and display cases full of memorabilia. I will award an extra star to this location, since for once, the food actually "LOOKED" like the menu pictures, which is a rarity. The buns on my Big Mac were still nice and fluffy with a nice brown toasty top - which is usually not the case as they are usually smushed or damaged when I unwrap them. The lettuce was neatly piled on, and the beef was not overly dry. My first batch of fries tasted a bit cold and chewy, but the counter person gladly replaced them with a fresh hot batch a few minutes later; NOTHING beats Mickey D's fries when they come out of the fryer! It was interesting walking around and reading the various articles and seeing some of old kitchen equipment. Full disclosure, in that I did my penance as a McDonald's employee while in my teens, and when it was waaay more labor intensive. I recall burning my arm on the bun toaster and having to swap out the industrial Caulk sized like tube of "Special Sauce" when assembly line making the Big Macs. While the work was exhausting and I usually had to shower after work to scrub that fried grease smell off of me, I did learn lots of important life lessons from that job oh so many summers ago. Sure this place is the definition of kitsch, but it's also provides a fascinating background to arguably America's most iconic hamburger.

The museum is inside a working McDonalds and sadly closed when I visited. I was following the 'Uncovering PA' facebook page for things to see in Pennsylvania so thought the worlds largest Big Mac would be fun. It was not! I did love the memorabelia, but couldn't go in and see the Big Mac so took a picture thru the glass. I waited in line to see if there were any tshirts for sale, and watched the Manager berate several employees which immediately turned me off. Clearly he is lacking people and leadership skills and should be replaced before they lose all their employees. When I asked if any tshirts were available, he snapped they were all sold out. Clearly I didn't buy ANYTHING here as I will not support his bad behaviour... I felt bad for his employees and won't visit again and don't recommend you visit either.

One of the upper end store of McDonald's...solely because it's the birthplace of Big Mac, and the store is also advertised as the Big Mac Museum, where the Big Mac was invented! My SO and I were already around the area and stopped by this store because we saw the place advertised as the Big Mac Museum in the brochure we got at Fallingwater. Since it was on our way back to Pittsburgh anyways, we stopped by to get a chance to see this place. Honestly, the place is really just another McDonald's store..except it also has some other memorabilia related to Big Mac like bun toaster that was used decades back and a few historical timeline notes on the table/table partition. Besides that, however, it's not really a museum per se..just a nicer place to have your typical McDonald's meal after all. Overall, we were ok with this place, especially if you are already planning on grabbing a meal here (of course, we had to have Big Mac here when we were there). You can take some time to read more / view different info about McDonald's. However, if you were thinking of driving all the way just to visit this museum, it's probably not worth it..it's really just a store with some historical aspect to it..nothing more beyond that.

I would give zero stars if I could. We waited for 30 minutes for our food and eventually canceled our order. Waste of time. Don't bother going here if you're looking for a quick bite to eat.

I have been going to this McDonald's since high school. In fact, it was probably one of the first fast food restaurants to open along this stretch of Route 30. It has been transformed over the years and now its bragging rights includes the fact that the Big Mac Museum is located right inside the heart of their restaurant. I am always pleased with the warm environment of this place and the fact that it does not feel as though one is eating at a fast food restaurant . There is always something to look at and explore while you are inside the dining area. Today I stopped in for coffee and just happened to be treated to the activities of a very large bustling group of regular diners know as The Sunshine Group. This group is led by a wonderfully sweet 90-something year old McDonald's employee named Ruthie. The group gets together to socialize, share a meal, and sing a few songs. They were having the time of their lives just singing away on this very gloomy rainy day. I was invited to come over and join them and help myself to a muffin or two as long as I participated with them in singing a round of "You Are My Sunshine". Who could resist on such a rainy day?

This is actually like a 2.5 star review. If you look back through my reviews you will note that I decidedly stay away from McDonald's as a whole. I actually loathe McDonald's but I sucked it up and decided that I would give it a try on this one occasion because of what this place truly is, the Big Mac Museum. Yes that is correct, this is a "museum" in the loose sense. Museum would seem to just be a term slapped on this building just because. What you would expect is a nice exhibit chronicling the Big Mac. What you actually get is a few display cases and a few plaques throughout the main building. Throw in a few tabletops that have some information written on them and that's what you get here. That is a big gripe here, but only one of many. I appreciate them considering a Big Mac museum. But why here, especially when the actual Big Mac was created in Uniontown, not the Irwin area. I love how Pittsburgh tries to stake a claim to it too, but as the small amount of information given here it tells you Uniontown, a Fayette County town, is the rightful owner of that title. After years of not eating McDonald's I decided why not give it a try here. Because of it being the Big Mac Museum I chose the Big Mac meal. It's exactly how I remember it right down to the indigestion that followed. The fries aren't what I remembered them to be. Being that they serve Coke products for drinks, I had to go with a bottle of water. With fast food restaurants attempting to draw people in, this is nothing more than a gimmick to bring you in. So in my book, and one stop location.

If you're into quirky things like we are, Big Mac Museum might as well be on your list! If you have a Mac Attack, or a hankering for two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, go there...

I am not a huge McDonalds fan. The kids love it. It's a quick fast meal on weekends and vacations. I have been to McDonald's for years and years, without giving away my age. This is really a unique one. It's clean, fast and friendly. The play place is fun for the kids and the tv's in the restaurant itself are entertaining as well. Check it out ! We will definitely return again and again !!

Arrived 11AM on a Sunday. The museum is CLOSED. If you're planning on stopping mainly for the museum, don't. Food- Extremely short staffed orders took forever to fulfill.

This location needs to get it together!!! Went through the drive thru around 5pm was not busy enough to forget to put an entire sandwich meal in order. And the French Fries were cold and looked like they were cooked an hour ago. If drive thru is all your offering due to Covid. Be better at it!!! Disappointed.

To be a McDonal's this is a good one. It's clean & my order was correct. Staff is friendly. One employee saw us looking at the McD artifacts & came over & asked if this was our first time there. She was knowledgeable & gave us a brief history of the inventor of the Big Mac, who was (deceased) the owner of that franchise. There's a few display cases of old McDonald's memorabilia in the dining area. The ginormous Big Mac is in the kids play area (14 ft).

First! The worlds biggest big mac statue is here! The End.

Male manager on 08/26 at 11am should probably take a break or a course on how to treat employees. Screaming at them over biscuits making all the customers waiting on their food extremely uncomfortable. They were all obviously busy and working hard while he was standing, expediting food doing absolutely nothing but barking orders.

The gestation period for an African bush elephant is faster than this place. Go elsewhere and avoid the pain. If you hit the lottery and do get your food fast, you'll spend equal amount of time looking for a clean table to consume the food.

I don't get the four star rating for this place. I mean first off it's a McDonalds. If you're rating the food of the Moldy Arches in general as four or five stars there's something wrong with you and not in a good way either. To quote Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery from Celebrity Jeopardy: "Boy, you might be legally retarded." With that out of the way let's talk about the "museum" itself. Sure some of the displays were neat with the sauce gun that looks like a Nascar pit crew could have used it to grease some ball joints and the displays with the different packaging & advertisements that were a nice trip down memory lane but not at the expense of getting too close for comfort with other people eating since the displays and actual eating tables are awkwardly too close together.. In the end what they offer really is NOT a museum and to use that name is at best a misnomer and in reality is probably closer to false advertising. Sure there are some unique nuggets of info that you will ooh and aah over but by-in-large it's a waste of time especially considering how much hype/advertising exists making it sound like there is more here than there really is. Oh and by the way, obviously it is still a functioning McD's. While I'm sure most would eat here no problem we were skeeved beyond belief at the filth factor. Upon entering the first thing I noticed was not the giant Big Mac buried back in the play area so as to almost be hidden, no I noticed that all three of the front garbage receptacles were over flowing with trash. Upon a quick trip to the bathroom let's just say that it wasn't exactly any better in there either. So no, we did not partake in a Big Mac at the Big Mac museum and no we were not wowed by what we saw. Thankfully we were in and out in under ten minutes but it's ten minutes that I wish I could get back to do something more creative with like.....fall off the roof of my house into a pool of dull razor blades.

McDonald's has always done a great job and made the food perfectly and everytime is hasn't been made right or has been cold the manager least offers a refund and our food to apologize for the inconvenience!

How can you go wrong with a visit to a place that houses the world's largest big mac statue?! Really, this McDonalds isn't that different than a typical McDonalds with the exception of there being history and facts about the Big Mac scattered throughout along with memorabilia from McDonald's history. Well, that and the Big Mac statue (which is located in the kid's play area). Service is about what you'd expect at a McDonalds and the prices and menu were identical to every other McDonalds I've ever been to. But in those locations, you don't get the joy of learning the average amount of sesame seeds on a big mac bun.

The "museum" is lacking. There's a big mac time line and some mc d and big mac stuff behind glass, i think my personal collection is almost as big... There a kid's play area and an over sized big mac statue in the play area. Where they have random scary jungle sounds of lions roaring and monkeys screeching, definitely doesn't really fit with the rest of the restaurant's decor. I can see it scaring some kids.

This McDonald's has excellent drive thru customer service. Always friendly and welcoming with a smile and polite conversation. The lines are often long but that's expected. The inside big Mac museum is definitely unique and fun to look at while dining in. The quality of the breakfast food is average for McDonald's however the chicken nuggets, fries, and burgers are pretty terrible compared to other Locations. Luke warm and dry and barely salted. Tastes like cardboard. They need to step up their game with food cooking quality. It makes the world of a difference. I can easily just go to a McDonald's that does it better.

Good old Big Mac Museum.. You have been my neighborhood Micky Ds for my entire life, so I have been spoiled by your uniqueness. Reguardless of the cool and nastalgic interior you possess, your food is always good and my order is usually always correct from what I can remember. If you are a McDonald's fan and have not seen the museum yet, you really should see it. This place is much different than any other McDonalds. Its got history under those arches!!

I don't come here often but when I do this store has ridiculous wait times for drive thru. Its McDonalds, I know. But there no "fast" in fast food at this one.

Worst service, had to wait forever and my order was not right. After we ate my kids wanted apple pies and waited maybe 10 min for 2 pies.

Typical McDonalds. Just some signs around. Pretty uneventful. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

They have a quick drive thru and 95% of the time get orders correct! Lunch time is extra busy give yourself a extra couple of minutes using drive thru.

It's as good as any McDonald's will be. I only ate here because the person driving wanted to eat there. On cool thing is they have the Big Mac museum inside of this one.

Awful service and lazy employees. Every time I go there the drive thru takes FOREVER and order is always wrong.
