Eating at the world’s oldest McDonald’s is like entering a time capsule that was assembled sometime in the 1950s.

Where Is The World's Oldest McDonald’s?

The Downey, California, location has been operating since 1953, nearly five years after the company was founded.

According to Newsweek, the Downey McDonald’s was the third restaurant franchised by Richard and Maurice McDonald, who originally founded the chain.

A sign on the building reminds burger-seekers that hamburgers cost 15 cents and French fries were only 12 cents when McDonald’s first opened at that location in 1953.

Besides the food prices, not much has changed at the restaurant in the past 70 years.

The outside still has a retro-looking sign with the Chef Speedee character on top, welcoming customers. The restaurant is also a walk-up stand where diners walk up to the counter on the outside of the building.

Earthquake Heavily Damages McDonald’s

Customers coming to the reopened McDonald’s were treated to an expansive remodel that included a small indoor dining area and a museum connected to the original burger stand.
