McDonald’s

Run-​of-​the-​mill McD’s. It’s a regular place for locals due to availability of restaurants. You’ll find the drive-​thru is backed up pretty often. I enjoy McD’s from once in awhile for the occasional Big Mac, McNuggets, breakfast burrito, Big Breakfast w/​hotcakes or fries and they’re generally what you expect.

After a very long drive to Kentucky, a short night of sleep, and a quick breakfast of delicious hard-​boiled duck eggs, we found ourselves here for some reason. My husband was still hungry so he wanted to stop and pick up a meal. I just got a coffee drink. Yet, this place really stuck out to me. There are four reasons I like this location:
— The staff is comprised of older men & women, not pimply-​faced teenagers that couldn’t care less about who you are or what you ordered.
— They take your order by name and call your name when its ready! It kind of gives your experience a bit more class than the usual American McDonalds locations.
— They have a Redbox! Probably the only Redbox in town!
— Most of the customers were smiling, pleasant faces. Some of them were probably farmers. They all oozed an aura of small-​town community. I can’t quite put my finger on it.
I don’t know how often we’ll be back, but it’s good to know what it’s like here.
