There’s A McDonald’s Inside This 150-Year-Old Mansion In Maine - And They Serve Lobster Rolls

[@dragoncrackers7660]

See that's classy and respectful to the community. If other communities made more effort to protect their history, we might actually have some character in our towns.

[@Mainer207]

Fun fact pause the video at 0:38 and look at the speed limit 25 sign and the numbers are in LeHay font. This unique font was only used in Maine from the 40s to 2002 and no other state has had it!

[@rockinrobbins5558]

I use to work there. It's a big building. Restaurant is on the main floor and the upper floor is for conferences or special gatherings.

[@juniebugjune08]

I remember passing this place when I was on my way to the L.L. Bean store :D

[@itsharris2345]

But tbh that's hardly a mansion

[@Unknown-us6xh]

Scoobert Doobert I’m sure it was to many people back when it was built

[@emhug]

Tbh, it would be for the people back then.

[@bwzffgh7]

A mansion literally is just a big house. So it's relative. Anything that is significantly larger than average dwellings during the same place and time is considered a mansion. Manhattan has hundreds of "mansions", for example, dotted all over the city (especially lining 5th Ave), but most are ugly (on the outside), boxy, and small compared to a typical Chicago suburb subdivision home, which costs only a fraction of a NYC mansion. It's all relative.

[@bossedup3008]

Do you even know what a mansion is? 6 or More bedrooms

[@madelinetaylor9168]

I live in Freeport I pass that everyday, never had a thought it was different😂

[@t87871]

That's probably the nicest looking McDonald's ever...

[@Cherrybee61]

It is. And there is a drive through .

[@FettyLord]

The one in independence oh... Up there

[@mrx-yj5wi]

The Gore House.....That's what I call every McDonalds.

[@ChefRafi]

A McDonald's I wouldn't mind entering!! how fresh are the lobster rolls? 👨‍🍳👍😊

@@hillaryclinton9205yea I’m surprised they’d have them at McDonald’s but then again it’s Maine but also they probably aren’t that fresh

[@JayPerera.Official]

Close ups of people casually eating junk food makes me feel uncomfortable. Don't know if it's only me

[@JollyJoel]

"junk food"? You mean the bread? How is Lobster, Letus, Tomato "junk food"?

[@gusdupree9076]

Jolly Joel letus start by pointing out that jolly is synonymous with fat

[@JollyJoel]

gus depree, which makes me an expert on "junk food" and am talking in the right place. What are you doing here, no one is talking about preschools...

[@cindyknows9220]

Why?? Men dont wear make up, whats the issue....

[@GrassTalk4202]

It's called fast food not junk food

[@thepatriotsfan7127]

I've been there sometime in Summer 2019. It was pretty interesting

[@jimryan5280]

Great video! I'll be in Freeport in July, can't wait to check this out!

[@arisolight]

I wonder when my house will be turned into a McDonalds. 🤔

[@estevanperezz]

Ariso Light and go on the news

[@GibsonArtola]

I bet they don't serve beer the way they do in my new hometown - San Sebastian, Spain!

[@jimhandler1129]

Really? Beer at McDonald's?

[@thesegoto80]

Not unique. There's a McDonald's on Jericho Turnpike in New Hyde Park, NY that is also in a converted mansion. It was the Charred Oak Manor restaurant for decades before McDonald's bought it and cleaned it up roughly 20 years ago.

[@jimhandler1129]

Really? I've lived on L.I. for 50 years I never knew that.

[@thesegoto80]

It's a legit McMansion xD

[@insidewolff5449]

"GORE" House.What a brutal name.

[@thepikachuoftexas3871]

The family were all killed in a massacre during the 1860's. Ironic that their name was "Gore".

The most beautiful McDonald's ❤

[@Kanal7Indonesia]

WOW MCLOBSTERS!!! I WANT ONE!!!

[@RoseT20]

OK but is their ice cream machine broken as well ?

[@hillaryclinton9205]

Never go to a McDonald's for a "Maine experience". Instead go to Haraseeket Lunch and Lobster in South Freeport. Trust me. I live in Freeport and I know a good lobster roll when I see one.

[@MBisFrenchy]

Reminds me of the one in New Hyde Park, NY.

[@joskjj3625]

Nah the one in new Hyde park is way better

[@misterhot9163]

Daaaang $8.99 for a lobster roll? I wonder if there's a coupon? I so want one of those rolls yum!!

[@Javier-hv3dg]

MisterHot doubt its real lobster

[@luisolivarez8240]

MisterHot at the French restaurant i work at, a lobster roll is $19. So 8.99 isn't bad at all.

[@Boristien405]

MisterHot - Lobser is generally pretty expensive. And considering this is in Maine where the lobster is likely very authentic it's worth it.

[@eliasmontoya5058]

Javier Trinidad out actually is. Thru only serve lobster if they're close to the coast. They're not fishing real maine lobster, just some lesser north atlantic species

[@brandonmoretti5774]

thats cheap for one, in ocean city, md, they were selling them for close to 20 bucks

[@mb9284]

If McDonald's wasn't so good they wouldn't have made so many

[@raynarayskye]

Did we really need that Beavis and Butthead faced chick at the end?

[@darrylrichardson1997]

0:39 that picture must had been taken in the 1940s or something anybody noticed that 25mph sign ???????

[@zacharymorin5696]

What does that mean? It’s a downtown area with a ton of foot traffic. You’d know if you’ve ever been there how many crosswalks and pedestrians there are

[@jimhandler1129]

@@zacharymorin5696 Yes and really strict on motorists stopping for pedesterians.

[@ks_ig2728]

Something about converting a century old mansion into a fast food restaurant sits weird with me, but hey at least they didn’t demolish it in favor of a usual, lifeless McDonald’s.

[@brozy3904]

They serve lobster rolls at McDonalds everywhere in New England not just in Maine... not sure if they do it across the country

[@zacharymorin5696]

I can guarantee you they do not. Not even at other ones in Maine

[@carasmussen27]

went there on my first visit to Maine.

[@GrahamPhelan]

And elsewhere in the world McDonald's own historical buildings much older, like those in the most historical squares of European cities. Still though good video!

[@bwzffgh7]

It's actually illegal or impractical in the United States to turn most old historic buildings into commercial businesses like McDonald's because of so many regulations on historic and commercial buildings. To accomplish something like that would require you to comply with both sets of regulations. In most places, historic buildings would need complete remodeling and modernization to comply with commercial building regulations. Those types of renovations are not legal on buildings that are registered as historic places. So the hoops you'd have to jump through would destroy the charm on historic buildings anyway and make it pointless.

[@AJTJunk]

Something like this was bound to happen

[@itsharris2345]

Near where I live there's a mcdonalds in a mansion as well!

[@Shazzkid]

Looks like a slave owners house

[@cantstumpthetrump5987]

Shazzkid the slaves are the fat people who cant stop eating mcdonalds

[@gusdupree9076]

Shazzkid hamburgler used to bring them over by the boatload

[@cornpuffs9621]

Shazzkid more likely a slave trader if they were from the north, although given the time it's almost certain he was an abolitionist.

[@ethanblair3921]

This was 150 years ago in the north, there was no slaves there

Eli Oldham it's hardly ever really broke. They tell you that because really they decided to clean it early or at a random damn time.

The lobster rolls are everywhere now

[@Jacob_mcrobs]

Someone wanna explain to me when they show a picture of the mansion built in 1850 at 0:37 why is there a "speed limit 25" sign? No cars in 1850 lol wtf.

[@ThrashersWish]

They didn’t have cameras like that in 1859 obviously it’s not from 1850 it’s just to show what it looked like before it was a McDonald’s

[@joskjj3625]

There is a McDonald’s mansion in new Hyde park ny, 10 minutes from were I live which is way bigger and better than the one in the video

[@dylancano8492]

you call that a mansion?

[@emhug]

@Dylan people back then thought it was a mansion. You must've been wealthy to be able to build that house.

[@wilmotown]

I mean, it can’t really be called a house. I’ve been there, it’s really kind of astonishingly big.

[@zacharymorin5696]

Not every old house should be left alone to preserve history. It’s cool but it’s just a house. There are plenty of other building from that time period, and plenty older ones too

[@DailyDoseOfShrooms]

has anyone tried the lobster roll from there? how is it?

[@sharongriffith2859]

it is ok....but if you are in maine and particularly near this mcd's ...just go a few miles down the road to an actual lobster pound and eat a real maine lobster roll. just my opinion tho

Are McDonald's lobster rolls not a thing outside of New England? If they are only a New England thing then they must not sell at all because no self respecting New Englander would ever eat that.

[@WadeMcLure]

1:18 This is not a Victorian... How does anyone not know what a Victorian house looks like?

[@mysterymatter8000]

Yeah, it looks like a Colonial style building. But I can see why they got it wrong since it was built during the Victorian area and some parts of Victorian architecture spread to America. But overall, it doesn't match a Victorian house's style.
