    I made a quick detour off I-40 at Exit 66 to visit the iconic Cafe 66, just five minutes from the…read morehighway and impossible to miss. From the outside, the branding leans heavily into the Route 66 identity--logos are everywhere, setting the expectation for a nostalgic roadside dining experience. Stepping inside, however, the atmosphere takes a different direction. Rather than embracing classic Americana, the décor feels modern, highlighted by whimsical cow artwork adorned with flower crowns. It's charming in its own way, but not the vintage Route 66 ambiance I was expecting. One thing that deserves high praise is the cleanliness. The café is immaculate, from the dining room to the overall presentation, reflecting a team that clearly takes pride in maintaining the restaurant. The food, unfortunately, was less memorable. The oatmeal was overly thick and dry, lacking the creamy comfort you'd expect. Buttered toast carried an off flavor, suggesting the griddle or butter station could use a refresh. The signature pancake, dusted with a powdered sugar "66" logo, was visually appealing and easily the meal's most Instagram-worthy item, but it too was disappointingly dense. Where Cafe 66 truly shines is its service. Every staff member I encountered was warm, welcoming, and eager to help first-time visitors feel at home. Their hospitality left the strongest impression of the visit. In my opinion, Cafe 66 seems to be transitioning away from being a destination built on Route 66 nostalgia and toward becoming a dependable neighborhood café for the Clinton community. There's nothing wrong with that--in fact, it's probably the more sustainable business model. But travelers seeking an authentic trip back in time may leave feeling that the iconic branding promises more nostalgia than the dining experience ultimately delivers.

    I came here for delicious food, left absolutely annoyed…read more When we walked in a girl did instantly come to us which is good, brought us to our table and before I even got the chance to sat down she asked "What drink today? Water, Orange Juice?-" I said do you have lemonade and she said no, okay that's fine but she said it in the possible most oddest way ever. After that interaction and I got my drink, she left; nother person came and asked what we would like to eat (this was 10 minutes after our drink) , I then said I would have a side salad and mac n cheese. My mom across from me said she has friend chicken, after we gave our order we then waited 30 MINUTES...for a SALAD. Thing is I didn't mind but when I tried it, it really did taste like grass and incredibly earthy and odd and that's when I wasn't exactly happy when I waited for a extra earthy salad... My mac n cheese came, it was delicious!!!!! 15 minutes after this, my moms food came and she said it was really good too. See we loved our food besides the extra earthy salad and almost 45ish minute wait time. On the other hand, when waiting we noticed our server and multiple others would get served before us and get asked how the food was, but not us though and that genuinely had me curious and ruined the whole experience. I love the conversations and the communication like as e.g. "How is the food?" , "How are yall doing today?", these are good things; it did not happen though and we got bluntly ignored. If you work in any restaurant jobs, please have good communication with your customers.

    Great spot for breakfast! I had the steak and eggs, and it was excellent. The eggs were perfectly…read morecooked, and the 6 oz steak had a really nice, rich aroma. The hash browns clearly tasted fresh--like they were cut that morning, not frozen or from a supplier bag. Everything had amazing flavor and gave me energy for the whole day. The waitress was very sweet and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place--let's support small businesses in America!

    We were greeted with a "Come on in and grab a seat," which we did picking up menus on the way…read more The menu offers a variety, including the obvious steaks and burgers, but also Mexican favorites, salads and even breakfast choices. Our ribeye was amazing, marinated in spices and cooked to perfection. We chose the two included sides and ours were a loaded baked potato and string beans. Because we shared the 12 Oz steak, we added a side and chose grilled zucchini. All were grilled in real butter, except of course, the potato. And even though our amazing, cheerful server, Joey, assured us real butter in the grilling, the loaded potato's condiments were real sour cream, real bacon bits, chives and for some mysterious reason little butter/looking tubs of dreaded "vegetable" oil. When we mentioned this to Joey, she shared our surprise and immediately offered to replace the whole side, which we declined, simply scraping off the fluffy yellow, heart-damaging, pretend oil. Joey even checked with the chef before we had to ask about dessert options and was happy to report safe choices were all butter coconut cake and vanilla ice cream. We're not trying to be difficult, just healthy. And with servers like Joey, there's hope that people are becoming aware. In any case, with the exceptions mentioned, a good steakhouse like Mesquite Canyon is always a good bet for the health conscious. The restaurant isn't fancy, has a sunny back area for dining away from the darker bar area, and even offers some tasty local beer.

    A nostalgic Route 66 stop, but the food didn't quite match the atmosphere…read more Our Route 66 adventure eventually led us to Lucille's Roadhouse in Clinton. I'll admit, I may have built this place up a little too much in my mind. The Route 66 nostalgia is absolutely outstanding. From the vintage gas pumps outside to the classic diner décor inside, it's a fun place to visit if you're traveling the Mother Road. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we were seated immediately. Our server, Arisa, was friendly, welcoming, and kept our drinks filled throughout the meal. One funny moment--I thought this was one of the Oklahoma Passport stamp locations, but it turns out I had confused it with the original Lucille's in Weatherford. Since Weatherford was on our return trip, I eventually got my passport stamped there instead! As many of you know, one of my personal quests is finding the ultimate Chicken Fried Steak, so that's what I ordered with corn and coleslaw. It certainly wasn't bad...it just wasn't memorable. The steak was tender enough, but the breading and gravy didn't have the flavor I was hoping for. It's not something I'd order again. The coleslaw was an even bigger disappointment. The flavor was simply off, and after a couple of bites I pushed it aside. I also tried the blue lemonade because it looked fun and refreshing. Unfortunately, it had almost no flavor. I'm normally a 95% water drinker, but every now and then I'll treat myself to lemonade or a soda. This one just wasn't worth finishing. Arisa happily exchanged it without hesitation, and I appreciated her taking care of it so quickly. My wife definitely won lunch. She ordered the catfish with fries and mac & cheese. The catfish was crispy, flaky, and delicious. The fries were cooked just the way we like them, and even I'll admit the mac & cheese was better than most restaurant versions I've tried. She even shared a catfish fillet and more fries than I probably needed! Overall, I'd give Lucille's Roadhouse 3 stars. The food was a mixed bag, but the nostalgia, spotless restaurant, friendly service, and fun Route 66 atmosphere made it a worthwhile stop. I'd certainly come back--but next time I'd order something different. My only real complaint beyond the meal was finding the restaurant. The GPS directions were surprisingly confusing, and getting there was far more difficult than it should have been. If you're traveling Route 66, Lucille's is still worth a stop for the experience alone. Just know that, at least on this visit, the atmosphere outshined my lunch. Chef T's Scorecard * Food: 3/5 * Service: 5/5 (Thank you, Arisa!) * Atmosphere: 5/5 * Value: 4/5 * Overall: I do think this is one of those places that deserves a second chance. Next visit, I'd skip the Chicken Fried Steak and blue lemonade and give one of their burgers, barbecue, or another house specialty a try.
