McDonald's Museum and Store No. 1 #1 McDonald's...very cool at night! [Richard Stockman, 03/06/2011]
Original Ray Kroc McDonald's, Food Train Here stands the original Ray Kroc McDonald's, but who cares about that? Three blocks south of that is the Choo-Choo Restaurant, a Des Plaines institution for something like 50 years. A very small diner featuring classic American food like burgers and fries has the distinction of being the only restaurant around that delivers food by train. If you sit at the counter, a very old Lionel train will deliver your food right to you. The menu is badly printed, and the decor is horrible, frankly a dream come true. Let the kids ride the nostalgic black horse, it's only a dime. [John Haliotis, 04/24/1999]
