Located in Lakewood, California, this McDonald's restaurant is known as the oldest in the world. It offers a nostalgic experience with TVs playing and old-school memorabilia to explore. The highlight for many visitors is the opportunity to try the real Deep Fried Apple Pies, which are worth the trip. The museum part, however, was described as run down with not much going on. The historical significance of this location dates back to 1953 when it first opened, offering hamburgers for 15 cents and French fries for 12 cents. The iconic neon Chef "Speedee" symbolized fast, efficient service. Ray Kroc, the eventual founder of McDonald's Corporation, visited this location in 1954 to prepare for opening his own McDonald's. The restaurant was eventually bought by Ron Piazza in 1998. Visitors recommend trying the Big Mac sandwich, noting that the quality of the meat at this location seems tastier than other McDonald's. So, if you're in town, consider stopping by this historic McDonald's to take a step back in time and enjoy a classic meal.
