Big waste of time. It is a remodeled McDonald's with nothing mentioning the Big Mac.

The birthplace of the McDonald's Big Mac sandwich was at this Uniontown restaurant. Invented by local McDonald's franchisee Jim Delligatti, the Big Mac debuted in April 1967. The sandwich was so popular with Uniontown residents that Delligatti quickly rolled it out to his other restaurants across western Pennsylvania. It was introduced to McDonald's national menu in 1968, and then to the world.

The Big Mac was not invented by McDonald's corporate scientists, but by a Uniontown franchisee. That may explain why the only tribute here is small outdoor sign next to the drive-thru.
