Angel and Vilma Delgadillo, Original Owners [Seligman AZ]…read more I wasn't aware of the history of this store and since I had already purchased most of my souvenirs at another gift shop down the street we just took a look inside, formerly Angel's barbershop and pool hall, now a gift shop. Who is Angel Delgadillo? This man was credited for saving Route 66 in Arizona! Yes, wow... I was intrigued about his story! Before I-40 was erected Seligman saw 9,000 vehicles moved through the town every day, stopping at the businesses, restaurants, service stations, and motels in town. When a section of I-40 opened south of town a deathly stillness fell on this main drag. With the expansion of the Interstate 40, there seemed to be no more need for the old road... in 1985, U.S. 66 was officially decertified. Whaat? All signs were taken down and it was removed from maps. So sad! Sorry, you'd have to research the rest of the story yourself on the internet... As we entered the modest shop the interior is quite small and compact inside. It got crowded inside especially with two bus full of tourists!!! We perused the souvenirs and many apparel merchandise for sale. There are t-shirts, magnets, shot glasses, postcards, mugs, and just about anything you might want to collect. To the right is a tiny small space Angel used as his barbershop. After his retirement, the barbershop portion of the shop was converted to a museum, celebrating his and Seligman's legacy on Route 66. It is filled with photos, antiques, and memorabilia, including his antique barber chair with a cardboard cutout of Angel himself. I did not realize the extent of his popularity until I read stories about him. I wish I would've met him... Review #3704

I visited the small town of Seligman, Arizona with my family in the spring of 2025. This is one of…read morethe best small towns to visit EVER. And I made my visit even better by checking out the Route 66 Gift Shop. If I could stay in this town all weekend long, I would. The Delgadillo family is really friendly and so are the other employees that work here. I saw the barber shop chair, the many business cards and license plates. I also learned all about Route 66 history and the Cars filmmakers' visit to this gift shop. More than two-thirds of the items for sale are made in AMERICA. This is one of America's greatest success stories. If you love Route 66 so much please visit this amazing gift shop!

The young lady got our drink orders right away and gave us enough time to look over the menu. The menu, by the way, is pretty cool. Unique names for their offerings so make sure you really read what it is you're ordering. Anyone can serve large portions, but making them so good you REALLY want to eat everything is another! Today, they did just that! I had the steak and egg breakfast and the temp, char and seasonings were perfect. Rest of the family had other items and we all ate 'em up, it was that good. Servers and staff checked on us regularly and had a real pleasant conversation with the proprietor. This man taught his kids well; amazing little family there. The place has great decor for that area and a cool little gift shop. There's not a whole lot of choices in Seligman, but Roadkill Cafe is worth you giving them a try.

First thing you need to know is that staff was great! They kept checking on us in more like a team environment. Our waitress came by plenty but the other waitresses checked in on us from time to time, which was a nice touch. I asked the waitress to recommend something and she said the wings, so I went with it! Such a great suggestion, I got the Honey Hot wings. Not as hot right off the bat as I'm used to but it was a slow burn and they came around. The flavor was better than my favorite wing spot in Chandler, so I was super impressed! My wife got a chicken wrap and she devoured it. She never finishes her meals, she said it was so good! I couldn't believe it!!! This place was awesome, definitely a gem!

I got one of those cappuccinos from the machines and while not what I usually drink, it was good to have this for the 3 hour drive ahead. Plenty of snacks to buy here and Grand Canyon and AZ souvenirs. Bathrooms clean and very needed. Staff helpful and nice. I'd definitely come back in again when in the area!
