McDowell's Restaurant

McDowell's is a fictional fast food restaurant from Eddie Murphy's 1988 comedy motion picture Coming to America.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The restaurant is owned by Cleo McDowell (actor John Amos) and based in Queens, New York. As of 1988 (when the motion picture was released) it was under investigation from the McDonald's Corporation for allegedly copying the entire establishment. The logos and typeface are extremely similar, including the names of the dishes: the "Big Mac" becomes the "Big Mick".

The actual location of the restaurant is 85-07 Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst, Queens, as specified accurately in the movie. This location is currently a Wendy's restaurant.
