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 must have read somewhere that this was the World's Largest McDonald's so I bookmarked it. We made…read morea point to stop, only to find out pretty quickly that it isn't. 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.

The lady stepped aside and another lady stepped up to the window. I explained this wasn't my order. She said they didn't have time to put our order in boxes. That the food was in the bag due to how long it takes to put the food in boxes. I said this isn't my complete order. She began YELLING AT ME! I I mentioned that the food wasn't correct! She said it is all in the bag still yelling at me! I drove away! Got down the road. We were missing 1/2 of our order. I called. The YELLING lady answered the phone. I explained that they shorted our order. Still yelling at me she said she personally cooked our food! She heated up the tortillas for the burritos! There were absolutely no burritos in our order. She said it wasn't her fault! I had mentioned at the window that there was only one order of nachos. I only wanted what we ordered and paid for. She was rude and acted like it wasn't her problem. I've never written a bad review of any place! But this one deserves a huge shout out for how terrible the customer service is. Don't waste your money. You will not get what you pay for! -stars should be an option!

After finishing your meal, you will say, as I did, "I have had much better." Oklahoma has some damn good small town Mexican restaurants; this is not one of them. In Vinta there are two other Mexican restaurants. Check the reviews and see what you think. If you don't mind driving a few more miles, stop in Chelsea. If you are headed south on 69, the first good Mexican restaurant is in Chouteau. There, that is all you need to know. If you are bored, here is the rest of the review. My wife cashed in her chips early. She pushed the chips and salsa away and said, "I don't care for the salsa at all." It is just tomato sauce, too much garlic and a little cilantro. The Picante was the same only it had a little bite from chili pepper. I ordered a relleno and tamale, the #43 Combo. My wife had some kind of a burrito. Neither plate of food was bad. The tamale had chili on it which was good. The relleno was average. The burrito my wife had was filled with Chopped steak, beans and guacamole, rolled in a large flour tortilla, all covered with yellow queso. What was really good about this burrito was the portion of steak in relation to the other fillings. There was a good serving of steak in it. No rice filler and the beans were not overloaded either. Both plates came with rice and beans. The restaurant is very large, with a well-worn interior and typical Oklahoma small town Mexican restaurant grungy restrooms. The service was adequate. And then there is the credit card fee! Overall, a 3-star rating which means; OK, but I won't be back and wouldn't recommend it to a friend.

I told him that I wasn't rude to his wife and she already answered my question. And that he need to adjust his attitude. He refused to serve me food and said that I need to go somewhere else. Very unprofessional and rude guy. Wish him prosperity and hopefully no one ever will treat him like he treat his customers.
