Every great
story starts
somewhere.

A LITTLE QUEENS. A LOT OF HEART.

A FAMILY BUSINESS.
A ROYAL LEGACY.

Welcome to McDowell’s, where Cleo runs the show, the fries are golden, and even a prince starts by mopping the floor.

Our story began on screen in 1988, in a little film called Coming to America. But around here, it’s always lunchtime on Queens Boulevard. Pull up a chair. You’re family now.
