    I really enjoyed the hamburger pizza no complaints from me. This is what a had from the dish.

    So. Here's the deal. This is a truck stop diner. Nothing Indian about it. I've stopped here for years and the food has steadily declined year after year. It was at one time an awesome place to stop and eat but the big chain truckstops changed this. Now the food isn't that bad and the prices are middle of the road. The salad bar and soup are all very filling with the soups being the stellar standout. I've had a little bit of everything but tonight I had the catfish special for $8 and besides it being a greasy spoon special it was decent. Two big fillets, fries , hush puppies and slaw. The BBq chicken plate is the best deal on the menu. Service is good and remember this is Hicksville and the waitress are matter of fact.

    The breakfast "TRUCKERS SPECIAL", was good, but the Brisket was dry and unappealing. The beans & potato salad were the only thing that saved it. The salad bar was sad, lettuce was browning and other items less than ideal. Not the restaurant I remembered, used to be much better.

    Big Chief Burger - 1/4 lb.

    Came here for a bite and to rest after the turnpike. Ordered a 1/4 lb. Chief Burger and the Trucker Special. Nothing special, but filling. Open 24 hours.

    Hem and cheese omelette with has browns and toast.

    Strap them kids in, give 'em a little bit of vodka in a cherry coke, we're goin' to Oklahoma…read more.. This cool McDonald's location first came to my attention when I heard mention of it in the lyrics to the song Choctaw Bingo, by James McMurtry. That's the first line of the song I quoted above. It's a great song and references several spots up in the extreme northeast corner of Oklahoma, this McDonald's being the most famous. The lyrics mention "that big McDonalds, you know that one that's built up on that big old bridge across the Will Rogers turnpike..." Initially when heard the song I had no idea it was describing a real place. It sounded kinda far-fetched that someone built a McDonalds up on a bridge over a turnpike. When I learned that this McDonald's was a for real place, and at one time it was the largest McDonald's in the world, I knew I had to come here. My first visit was three years ago. It wasn't very busy that afternoon and I got a chance to speak with an Employee and her Manager, and they graciously shared with me their understanding of the history of the place. The title of largest McDonald's had slipped away long before they worked here. Summers fade and roses die. These days, in terms of size, this McDonald's is a mere shadow of its former self. It's quite underwhelming, actually. Especially if you climb the stairs as I did my first visit, thinking, wow, this place must be huge! Where its dining area once commanded the entire expanse of the Archway, the one time largest McDonald's now shares the space with a Subway. How humiliating; a freaking Subway. But whatever. What hasn't changed, and the reason I give this place Four Stars is the view from the dining room, poised directly over the Will Rogers Turnpike. I love watching traffic burning up the Turnpike while I'm having a snack. That's fun, and unique, and definitely worth checking out if you're anywhere in the vicinity. Like the song says: Strap those kids in give em a lil bit of Benadryl and a cherry coke, we're goin' to Oklahoma, we're gonna have us a time Mikey C says: We're gonna have us a time.

I've been to hundreds of McDonalds over the years and this one is just average. Maybe the building itself is big, but they're not the exclusive vendor here, sharing the food court with a regular Subway, and honestly you could call the McDonald's in the Atlanta airport a bigger building without stretching the truth. We were driving from Tulsa to Joplin when we pulled off, parked and walked in. It does sit above the highway, which gives you a slightly different view while you're working through a cheeseburger and fries, almost like you're hovering over the traffic. I ordered at the kiosk and the food took longer than usual, but it was prepared properly. They have the standard Coke fountain stocked with straws and napkins, but no ketchup dispenser. The burger was made to order so it was fresh, which helped. Food on the floor, a dirty table and a light crowd summed up the rest of the experience. No need to go out of your way for this one.

It kind of reminds me what Shatto would be like, if they had plastic bottles and a few restaurants with shops. I think there's Braums throughout Oklahoma, and apparently in Missouri, as well as Kansas and Texas. Braums has their own dairy cows, which produces their milk for the shops. Inside the shops are places to eat, (compare it to Culver's), and they sell their products, plus other products. I'm tempted to try the butter, but I have no way of keeping it fresh at this time. I decided to eat in the restaurant itself. They have hamburgers, chile, hotdogs, chicken. They also have alot of ice cream combinations available. This location was as good as Culvers or Whataburger, but the service seemed slow. The cheeseburger was delicious. 1/3rd pound, plain with cheese. (It was a slice of Braum's cheddar cheese). They almost forgot the sundae. I thought they were doing a trick Culvers does, and brings me the sundae, mid sandwich. Not so, they just forgot, but I got my sundae mid sandwich. If I had a wau of keeping the ice cream frozen, I'd have gotten some, but I don't. Braum's ice cream is really good. For $6 I got a yummy 1/3rd pound cheeseburger, and a 1 scoop sundae-pecan caramel. Very good!!
