McDonald’s is undoubtedly the brand most closely associated with the modern fast-food industry, for better or for worse. With its distinctive Golden Arches logo, it’s also among the most recognized brands in the world, perhaps even as far away as Timbuktu. McDonald’s prices have always been industry-leading especially with its value and dollar menu.
Most metropolitan cities and towns in the United States have one or more McDonald’s restaurants and, in fact, the country has more McDonald’s than it has hospitals! According to statistics, the United States has about 10,660 hospitals while McDonald’s has more than 14,350 restaurants. While the chain has also been accused of being a significant contributor to the “epidemic of obesity” in the United States, it has also made strides toward a healthier menu and better nutrition education for its target customers.

McDonald's prices provided by PriceListo.History
In 1940, brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald opened a barbecue restaurant in San Bernardino, California. But by 1948, they decided that hamburgers were more profitable than barbecue and, thus, converted their restaurant into a hamburger stand. They also adopted a production line approach to hamburger preparation, an idea apparently inspired by the automobile assembly process.
By 1953, the first McDonald’s franchise was sold. In 1955, Ray Kroc became a franchise agent for McDonald’s and then purchased the McDonald’s brand and chain from the original owners. Known as The Founder, Kroc is credited as being the founder of the modern-day McDonald’s as we know it today.
Under his tutelage, the McDonald’s brand and chain also became the leader in the fast-food industry, both in the United States and abroad. His aggressive expansion strategy resulted in the chain’s enduring popularity in more than 120 countries worldwide and with more than 36,900 locations – and growing – today.
Indeed, the chain’s restaurants serves more than 68 million diners every day! Just imagine the sheer number of burgers, fries and soda served worldwide under the Golden Arches and you will be amazed.
What They’re Famous For
Beef and chicken burgers with toppings like lettuce, tomato and cheese are the bestselling items on the McDonald’s menu. The choices include the typical burger with a beef patty sandwiched between two buns, the Big Mac with lettuce, tomato and cheese on top of the patty, and the Chicken Burger with a chicken fillet, among others. These can be served with or without sides, such as French fries, and drinks like soda, pineapple juice, or Coke float.
Why Eat Here
Keep in mind that McDonald’s is a chain of fast-food restaurants so the menu consists of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chicken-based items, as well as sides like mashed potatoes and French fries. The hamburgers and cheeseburgers are fairly flavorful and filling so these give good value for the money, thanks to their cheap prices. The chicken-based items include fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and chicken nuggets, which can be served in individual servings or in large servings.
We have to say that the McDonald’s fried chicken is something that customers like, if not love, thanks to its crispy and crunchy skin combined with the saucy, flavorful and tender meat, especially when it’s eaten hot from the fryer. For most customers, the fried chicken is best eaten with French fries and drinks, even rice in many Asian countries, for a complete meal at an affordable price.
The breakfast menu is fairly impressive, especially if you’re into American breakfasts. The choices include muffins, pancakes, and coffee, among others, which can be mixed and matched according to your preference. You may, for example, get the pancakes and coffee on Monday and then the muffin sandwich with cold orange juice on Tuesday; the range of choices make McDonald’s a great breakfast place, too, for on-the-go people.
The dessert menu is limited but what McDonald’s lacks in quantity, in makes up for in quality – or at least, as quality as affordable prices can give. The choices include sundaes, floats and milkshakes in different flavors. Their quality isn’t something to write home about but if you’re looking for a sweet treat to round out your meal or snack, then these dessert items hit the mark.
McDonald’s also offers a limited number of salads, fish dishes, and smoothies, even fruits in some locations. These items were added as part of the chain’s thrust to offer healthier fare to its customers and, thus, to overcome its junk food reputation. Depending on the location, the menu may also feature local dishes and seasonal items, such as the McRib sandwich.
Even without waiter service, the McDonald’s level of service is considered as among the most efficient in the industry. Even during peak hours, the lines at the counter move at a fast rate, thanks to the staff members’ quick thinking and quick-on-their-feet movements. Waiting in line shouldn’t last for more than five minutes apparently and it’s something that customers appreciate.
McDonald’s doesn’t have fancy décor, tableware and table service, too, but the facilities are always kept clean, organized, and pleasing to the eyes. The rest rooms are always stocked with hand-washing soap and toilet paper, too, so hygiene for customers isn’t an issue.
