I have eaten at that McDonald's. Was stationed at the Navy Base in '86-'87. Heard many stories about this being the most expensive McDonald's built at the time. The glass windows were around 3/4" thick to withstand the winds. Adak was known as the birth place of the winds. I also saw them bringing in houses by barge. Then, I moved into one. There was one house that was flooded on the barge. They set it in place and opened the door to a foot of water running out.

OMG that white text against the mahogany background with actual removable letters is such a throwback that I completely forgot all about. I can even remember when they switched to the TV screens now at the drive thru. That’s awesome
Next they switched to the fluorescent-lit lightboxes with the printed menu posters I think? And that was when they had the red LED displays for the order screen. Now it's just those flat panel LCDs...
@@Freakinout14 You're basing your price on an Alaska price. If you found out how much a 20 piece cost in your area in '93 $11.51 would probably be close to triple for the prices in your area.
And that's at least twice the normal price since this McD's was on a remote island where shipping causes a lot of price increases... so these prices would be considered HIGH at the time lol
Menus were so much easier read then. Now, you have to wait for the slow-motion coffee pour on the screen, before the price flashes for 3 seconds…then disappearing again.
I’m the photographer in the interview. I learned from locals that a fish processing plant used the restaurant as a lunch facility for a few years. They removed all equipment from the kitchen but the seating area remain the same. The restaurant was boarded up just before the pandemic due to vandalism from 10 visiting Coast Guardsmen (some windows were smashed). Full video is on my channel!
My niece worked there, & I went there for a medivac once. A civilian visiting family had a stroke & I had to bring him back to Anchorage. The kid from the base that picked us up to take us to the patient , proudly pointed this place out. It was a height point of the tour😂
I was a mcmanager in Las Vegas for several company stores in 1994 I remember our prices and I can tell you these prices here were “maybe” 25% to 35% higher than continental US prices not 200% to 300% higher.
I’d love to see the interior, it’s so rare to see fast food restaurants where you can still tell where the smoking section was. Plus the ‘94 nostalgia of it all
Wow so it was last used 30 years ago in 1994. Seeing this gives me back good childhood memories remembering the way McDonalds was in the 1990s especially the Happy Kids Meals picture (Bobby's World) still on there.
@@nette9836 Yep, Fed is still 7.25, but 70% of states have set minimum wage to 10-15 dollars now. 2 bucks in '74 is 12.59 in 2024, so although Fed hasn't kept up, states have been steady to at times surpassed inflation with minimum wages.
I’m the photographer in the interview. The US Navy decommissioned the Adak base, with it finally closing in March 1997. The family that had this franchise closed it and opened two other McDonald’s in Oregon.
@@SonyEnthusiast No worries! I'm working on a photo book featuring one interesting abandoned place in each US state. I heard about the Adak McDonald's back in 2008 on the old Flickr photo sharing site and kept it in mind when I started working on the book. The last state I need to visit is Hawaii. Hawaii also had an abandoned McDonald's but it was demolished a while ago.
I’ve been to Adam several times (on active duty). One of the attractions was “the” tree. As in, THE ONLY tree on the island. It’s so windy there that few things grow that taller. The tree is very small and in the center of the island (which is itself very small). Adak is staffed by DoD contractors as a radar site. It’s a frigid, barren, lonely place at constant risk of tsunami. The only reason prices were this reasonable was shipping for goods was government subsidized so there wasn’t the massive pricing markup as exists elsewhere in the Aleutians and in the Bush. I was happy to visit and happier to leave.
I had a good friend (Mary) who worked there, for RCA. 6 months here, and then 6 months on at Bikini Atoll for RCA, and NASA. She said both had their beauty, but she left after a Polar Bear showed up on an ice float, and did some damage around town. She said seeing a Polar Bear in person, is very different then what you see on TV. lol! I hope you enjoyed your time there?
Used to eat here until the Naval Base closed and so did McD. You should see the High School nearby that was built AFTER the Base Closure and never had even one student in it.
@@someguy9778that's not completely accurate, the school was built in 1992, the base began downsizing that year, but didn't completely shut down until 1997. The school was built for the local public school district in a trade deal, where the previous high school building was given to the Navy to replace the post exchange that was severely damaged in an earthquake, and the Navy funded construction of a replacement $18 million high school (which the district had been planning previously). The school district effectively shut down in 1994 as the number of students dropped, but wasn't officially dissolved until 1996. The new high school operated for about 2 years. A small part of the building was reopened in 1998 as a K-12 school, but closed again in 2023 due to low enrollment. Also, they got a new hospital built in 1990 for another $18 mill that also shut down after a few years, the Navy was expecting to keep at least part of the base open for a long time and was making capital improvements, but BRAC ruled on a complete shutdown
@@infinitedopamine6429nope. Back then I worked at a restaurant as a waiter and made 100-150 bucks a night on the weekends and about 50-75 on weekdays. My rent for my townhome apartment in 2002 was 800 dollars. Life was easy then compared to now. You could live good with no degree and people who had degrees made a lot of money. McDonald’s had 29 cent cheese burgers and 35 cent double cheeseburger deals weekly. 15 dollars to fill up your whole gas tank. The only thing that’s cheaper now than before is weed.😂 only ballers smoke exotic back in the days.
Wild. My town in Michigan I grew up in only has a population of 1,800 when I left in 1998, and it had had a McDonald’s since 1984. It was the single only recognizable franchise in the town, and it was a huge deal when it opened. People flocked there. Families, older people on the weekends for pancake deals, little league teams after games for soft serve, and kids for their birthday parties. It was our only local piece of a bigger world out there. Wild to think about, because I’ve lived in a large metro of about 2.5 million for 26 years now, that has absolutely everything. But that was how I grew up.
You've kind of lived the life of the character from "My Life" (1993) where he grows up in a small mid-west town, then goes to Hollywood to be a producer, forgets about his roots until he realizes he's dying of cancer. I hope your ending is more positive.
The McDonald’s by my house still has the old big Arch sign and until 10 years or so, also had a sign with red lights spelling what was on the menu. It has since modernized, but the sign is still there!
Quaterpound with cheese meal in Hawaii was $4.50 back in the 90s. I didn't realize it was that overpriced when I look at the these prices in Alaska which was about the same as Hawaii.
There's only 33 residents on the island and almost no tourists or visitors, there would be no point in spending even a dime on the place, there's literally no use for it at all anymroe
I always waited for Big Mac Monday or Filet o'Fish Friday when they were .99 cents each. Those deals lasted until about the late 2000's, then they started raising the price. Not even sure if they do that anymore. If they do, I'm sure it's nowhere near .99 cents anymore.
I can see why it closed. With 33 people left on the island, it wouldn't make enough money for the business to survive... not to mention that the island is so remote that it would be hard for them to get supplies from the mainland.
Yeah, the prices on that menu say everything. While cheap compared to nowadays, those prices were otherwise expensive compared to a McDonald’s in the mainland back in 94.
I miss the McDonald's of yesteryear. Back then, the Big Mac was actually BIG, not small and overpriced like today's McDonald's. The McDonald's of today is just a former shell of itself.
It's interesting to see the "Bobby World" toys in the drive up menu, that probably could suggest exactly when this closed. I always wanted to see this building :)
I’m the photographer in the interview. My channel is all about exploring abandoned places, including places like the Soviet abandoned space shuttles, decaying theme parks, and more that I’ve filmed for 20 years. Cheers!
It's not the governments problem you didn't graduate in high school and set your own life path like bro grow up you're pathetic if you care so much give away everything you have.
@anthonycz2821 if you think that's what happened with all homeless then you're out of touch. What about the thousands and thousands of homeless Americans veterans that fought for this country just to come home and now be homeless. They threw their life's away too? Think before you talk my man
In the late 90's, the McDonald's on Camp Pendleton had 29 cent hamburger Mondays and 39 cent cheeseburger Tuesdays. Marines used to stock up and freeze them for snacks while on duty.
That's _still_ expensive. I remember as recent as 2004 in NM I used to get two cheeseburgers for a dollar (might have been a regional thing with distant Alaska). Of course, the green chile costed extra.
I still recall when the first McDonald's here in Winnipeg opened in 1968 . A cheese burger was 15 cents . They undercut a local stand that charged 19 cents . Later on around 1974 while in High School , I'd buy a quarter pounder with cheese for 70 cents .
In the 70s, a burger, drink and fries was 97 cents including tax.
ONLY 97 CENTS?? I NEED THIS.
WOW!
Definitely Wow!
Yes, but adjusted for inflation, the value of $1 in 1970 would equal $7.95 today

I’m the photographer in the interview. My channel is all about exploring abandoned places, including places like the Soviet abandoned space shuttles, decaying theme parks, and more that I’ve filmed for 20 years. Cheers!
I remember having that Bobby’s World toy 😭 it was number 3, the one with the tricycle.
If you were to enter the freezer I bet the burgers and fries still look the same as the did 30 years ago. 😅
Preserved!! yum yum
They should reopen it as is and have it as a throwback themed restaurant.
There's not anything inside
no the elite dont want us to see the past, the past always has to be shown as bad and their new world is shown as wonderful
hey, i was there back in the late '70's.....at the navfac.......good times!!!!!
Awesome!!!
I can't believe the abandoned buildings seem like they're in decent shape considering the weather.
Over Built Glass 3/4 of an inch Thick !!!
33 permanent residents. Wow
My local McDonald’s was still more expensive back then, I loved going on road trips bc it was way cheaper outside the city
Building looks good. Especially the roof.
Good luck getting a big mac for $2.45 today lmao
Adjusted for inflation it’s around $5.10 which is around the price of a big Mac in most states
I got a free Big Mac a couple days ago with the app.
Here in Arizona ite 8.75 for a big mac now, what a ripoff
600,000 homeless people in USA......... government owned & completely abandoned city just sitting there. Yup 100% makes sense!
do u want 600,000 homeless people to move in all around u?
@@skullrak5951 all around me in a abandoned city on a ISLAND...come on now bud
people live on the island already. and also i cant imagine putting a bunch of homeless people on an island turning out well@@LocozillaYT
It's not the governments problem you didn't graduate in high school and set your own life path like bro grow up you're pathetic if you care so much give away everything you have.
@anthonycz2821 if you think that's what happened with all homeless then you're out of touch. What about the thousands and thousands of homeless Americans veterans that fought for this country just to come home and now be homeless. They threw their life's away too? Think before you talk my man
Back during the good times.
Sounds like heaven on earth
In the late 90's, the McDonald's on Camp Pendleton had 29 cent hamburger Mondays and 39 cent cheeseburger Tuesdays. Marines used to stock up and freeze them for snacks while on duty.
It was a Navy base when it closed.
I use coupons now to eat at Mc'Ds. Thats how crazy it has gotten.
Wow, things were a LOT cheaper back when I was born. Surprised that survived for three decades straight.
An isolated island with only McDonalds to eat!!!
I have to say... that sounds like a dream. 😉👍
All of the food theres gonna give you tons of illnesses since its 30 years old now
My mom used to live here in the 70s!
My dad was stationed there from 1945 to 1947 in the army
30 Years...Damn.
I remember Bobby’s World! Great 90’s show!
That's _still_ expensive. I remember as recent as 2004 in NM I used to get two cheeseburgers for a dollar (might have been a regional thing with distant Alaska). Of course, the green chile costed extra.
Super cool
I still recall when the first McDonald's here in Winnipeg opened in 1968 . A cheese burger was 15 cents . They undercut a local stand that charged 19 cents . Later on around 1974 while in High School , I'd buy a quarter pounder with cheese for 70 cents .
Reminder you can eat at a Dennys or whatever major dining franchise you prefer for the same price as a meal from any fast food joint.
Bobby’s World happy meal toys!!! Nostalgia hit hard…
I’ve sworn off all fast food until the prices go down. Cause I can’t be apart of such foolishness.
Bobby's World? Wow, one of my favorite cartoons as a kid...
and this was still "too expensive we have mcdonalds at home" back then 🤣
Wow!
Those prices look great!
Lets have things at McDonalds cost that much everywhere!😎
Also, shout out to Bobby's world!
Such a cute show!
Everything is interesting in Alaska.
Thats why i love it
Big Mac meal back then: 2.50
Big Mac meal right now: 15.00
Inflation sucks
