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.
