    Un posto incredibile. Sembra essersi fermato a settant’anni fa. È stato emozionante vedere una delle prime sedi di questa catena e attualmente la più antica funzionante. Gli hamburger sono più o meno come gli altri Mc. Hanno solo quattro tipologie.

    Banheiros e mesas para comer estavam muito sujas e o atendimento é péssimo. O que vale mesmo

    I actually went for the classic apple pies. I love the fried hotter than hot crust. The little museum is cool to walkthrough. Yes fries are on point as always. Big Mac of course as well. The shakes uff nice way to eat with the pie in my opinion. The nostalgia is worth the drive. It makes the food taste better.

    Such a cool piece of history. Yes, it's not the first McDonald's, it's painted through the lens of Ray Kroc, and there's definitely some revisionist history going on. But it's still a glimpse into what McDonald's once was. The Golden arches design, the attached museum, the large parking lot with a walk up window, it's more than just a standard McDonald's. However, it's not immune to the usual flaws. Service can be slow, orders may be wrong, and it feels a little unkempt. But it's so worth a trip to this underrated location to appreciate a little piece of Americana. And definitely try the fried apple pie!
