I hate it. You drive a thousand miles and eat at the same friggin’ restaurant you have at home!

I might not be so annoyed if I actually liked the common roadside places, but as it is, “McDonald’s next exit” is more of a threat than a promise.

The local food places are probably better, but one small problem on a big trip can be caused by food that doesn't react will with you. Whatever their faults, most franchises are at least that consistent.

And if you have young kids, McDonalds is very useful on a road trip. Food that I can at least tolerate, is a known quantity, the kids will eat it, and they have a play area (well, not all, but a lot of them). I won't eat McD's when we're in our home city, but I really appreciate it on a trip.
