Soft Shell Crab Po' Boy. A giant spider shaped fried blob perched on a bed of lettuce. The batter, mild spicy sauce, bread, and the frying process  hide the delicate flavors of the crab. The crab per se had a salty sweet taste with a springy stringy texture. Nice but less than expected

Rock n' Roll McDonald's #6676 - Chicago, IL

CLOSED December 2017.  This building was razed and in its place is a new McDonald's that reflects the latest in restaurant and eco-friendly technology.

600 N Clark St

If you're a pop culturist or a foodie, Rock n Roll McDonald's is a fun nostalgic visit.  It's 5 times bigger than the typical neighborhood McDonald's and has a set of escalators. 

It's everything you wish your local McDonald's is, but  the prices are airport high and the dollar value menu is absent.  The food is par but given above par attention in execution and presentation.  The counter personnel are patient, accommodating, professional, and sans the Chicago attitude. They epitomize fast food service public relations.
