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!

What a fantastic experience! This is more than just a McDonald’s; it’s a piece of living history. I had a wonderful time on the museum tour, learning about the origins of this iconic brand and seeing the vintage decor. It’s truly a step back in time.
After the tour, I grabbed a classic Coca-Cola, and it was the perfect refreshing treat. The staff were so nice and friendly, and the whole atmosphere was just great. This location in Downey is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a unique and nostalgic experience. Highly recommend!

Good for visit if you are passing by… I’m not fun of that “cuisine” but having glimpse in old design of one of first McDonald was nice.

The oldest existing McDonald’s worth a visit if in the area. They have a deep fried apply pie option not seen on normal mcdonalds menus.

The Old Fashioned Apple Pie made the whole trip worth it! If you liked the apple pie from the past worth the visit.
OTHERWISE this place is incredibly dirty, not a place I would ever consider going back to visit, ever! If I were near and wanted an apple pie I’d order to go. The eating area was filthy. The museum isn’t really anything worth viewing, it’s really not well put together, and dirty.
Service was terribly slow and it was uncomfortable ordering at the window. The ordering experience resembles what it was like in the late 70’s just without the friendly service.
This place could be awesome with some TLC. Just because something is old doesn’t mean it needs to be dirty and broken. The sign could be fixed and painted. The ordering window needs a serious update, I could write a book but I’m sure you get the picture. The food is way more expensive than other locations in the area, if they were using the money for an update that would be great but it doesn’t seem like they are doing that. Use caution if your ordering curbside, eh I was hoping to leave a great review. It is what it is

Ugh first it took WAY too long in the drive thru line to get our food after we ordered, then my daughter’s happy meal was COLD! TO TOP IT OFF they gave her an old toy for Elio when they literally gave her a happy meal box that says Tiny Tan on it and so do the apple slices ♀️ ♀️ try explaining to a 6 year old why everything says Tiny Tan but her toy is Elio … UGH!!! One of the worst experiences ever at McDonald’s!!!

This is the oldest McDonald’s still operating. It has a very cool nostalgic look to it. There is no inside it’s a walk up to the window and order. They do have seating that’s covered next to it that is also a museum of McDonald’s history and bathrooms inside. Very cool to see I love how it looks just the way it did back then. Food always on point can’t go wrong with a McDonald burger.

On our trip south we decided to stop by and check out the original McDonald’s. There is a museum and a working McDonald’s. We enjoyed looking through the museum. There is a bathroom in the museum. We also ordered some food because you gotta, right? The employees were nice, it did take a little while to get our food, the food was good (the fries were fresh). Check it out if you’re in the area.

Food was dry and my Son waited over 20 min in line (by “line” I mean, 3 people) for an ice cream cone, so I just told him let’s go. The eating area was filthy. Trash was everywhere on the floor and pigeons roam around in there. On the tables as well. No one cleans that place. I had to go ask the manager if someone can come and clean a table that looked like, it hadn’t been cleaned in quite a while. You would think that it being the oldest McDonald’s, they would take care of it, but sadly, they do not. I’ve seen McDonald’s in South L.A. and San Bernardino, ran better and kept cleaner. I will NEVER take my family there again. Even their display area was dirty. The two mannequins they have in the old kitchen, are outdated and one of them was falling over. What a freaken joke.

Who doesn’t want to eat a burger at the original store. What an experience, the museum is a great addition.
