Yes, there is indeed a Quarter Pounder Monument, and it’s located in Rapid City, South Dakota. This unique statue was erected in 2020 outside a McDonald’s restaurant (Wikipedia). The monument is impressive in size, standing at nine feet tall and eight feet wide, with the bronze burger and its pedestal weighing a combined 23,000 pounds (Atlas Obscura).

Etched on the pedestal of the monument is a Latin phrase, which translates to “hot and deliciously juicy” (Facebook post via Atlas Obscura). This enormous sculpture is said to weigh the equivalent of 92,000 real Quarter Pounder burgers (Roadside America).

The choice of location is significant as the people of Rapid City reportedly buy more Quarter Pounders per capita than anywhere else in the country, making it a fitting tribute to the city’s love for this McDonald’s menu item (Lauren Acampora). The sculpture is located at Exit 61 on Interstate 90 in Rapid City, and visitors can easily find it by heading south on Elk Vale Road after exiting the Interstate (Book of Joe).

This Quarter Pounder Monument joins the ranks of other quirky and oversized roadside attractions found throughout the United States, offering both a photo opportunity and a moment of light-hearted fun for travelers and burger enthusiasts passing through Rapid City.
