Worth a stop for a little taste of nostalgia served up with a side of golden fries. Such a fun piece of history...a walk up counter with outdoor seating. Seating also available in the little pavilion that includes a memorabilia walk-thru.

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!! 😋🤡🤡

Oldest McDonald's in the world. Amazing original artifacts stored in the dining area. Kids loved it.

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.

I haven't seen them, but I haven't asked.
1953.this location is the 3rd oldest & is the oldest one in operation and in it's original looks when it was built..
Strange question to ask on McDonald's page. The first Taco Bell was in Downey CA. Due to demolition threat in 1986 it was moved to the Corporate Office in Irvine. For more info on current location either Google first Taco Bell or visit Taco Bell website and click on history.

I don't know but try a local McDonald's in Mississippi. Maybe they can help you.
Probably your last name
Check out the museum. They give the history there.
No they don’t do the original recipe with the beef tallow. However, I’d say that what they’ve been doing for the last 15-20 years has been pretty damn good.
Try the McDonald's in Downey. That's one of the originals and I believe they still make them the same. You know the saying; If it's not broke, don't fix it. The burgers that made them are still served today.
Yes, rhere are probably 5-6 gas stations within .5 miles. One just on the next block
Yeah bur how long do they stay happy after the happy meal?
This McDonald's is like a time capsule,,it takes you back to the 50s,,all you need is your 50s ride playing some oldies..
