Today we had the Chicken nachos and French Dip. We came back because it was the best service we have gotten, in a very long time! I do have a small complaint, your host and hostesses need to be retrained. Walk in and not even greeted. 3 of them, standing talking to each other yesterday. Today, not greeted again, a young man. Like we we're bothering him! Other, than that, BOSTON made up for it, 100 percent!!!!!

I also ordered cheese curds and the were nice and hot. Everyone enjoyed their food. There were 5 of us. The waitress did notice they brought me the wrong salad and she offered to fix it but I said I was fine. I also had the Sunset Beach cocktail and you could definitely taste the blackberry. It was pretty good. We agreed we would eat here again.

There was a total of six people in the bar so it wasn't an overload. Had to ask to get our check which ended up being wrong. Of course no one was at the bar so I had to track someone down to get the bill corrected.

So it was a rainy day and they weren't busy so we were able to talk to the lady who owns it and hear how the movie got started and found some of its characters right there on their lot! Its in an old service station and we had to do the burgers for lunch! They were greasy and delicious and it was alot of fun to see! Sadly alot of the businesses in this small town on the Route 66 have closed, but man the buildings are a treasure themselves!

Cars on the Route in Galena is one of those Route 66 stops that manages to be memorable whether the…read moredoors are open or not. Even if the station itself is closed, the outside displays and vehicles are always accessible, making it easy to wander around, snap photos, and pose beside some true Americana at any hour of the day. The site is a restored Kan-O-Tex gas station, and it has become a playful landmark thanks to its alleged inspiration for characters in Pixar's Cars movie. Parked out front are classic fire trucks and other vintage vehicles that immediately transport you back to the heyday of the Mother Road. Old gas pumps stand as reminders of a time when stations like this were lifelines for travelers, and through the windows you can glimpse memorabilia that adds to the nostalgic atmosphere. It's a stop that blends history, pop culture, and roadside charm. Whether you're making a quick detour off I-44 or planning Galena as a destination in its own right, Cars on the Route offers a slice of classic Americana that feels both timeless and inviting.

We know we're there when we see their iconic neon sign crowning the entrance! Still a favorite with many, there was a steady stream of customers coming in and sitting around the counter-dining-only restaurant. Service, as in the past, was speedy and served with a smile. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. Our go to is always the tamales - mom's favorite. On this day I enjoyed a bundle, 3 @ $3.55, and a light splattering chili. Their tamales are more comparable to a Mississippi Delta tamale than the tamale you would eat at a Mexican restaurant. They always ask if you want dill pickles and sliced onions on the side - for an additional charge. Their griddle cooked burgers are good, too. Spaghetti Red is a signature dish that many swear by, has been on the menu forever, and is a Fred & Red's Classic. This dish is a layered plate of spaghetti noodles, topped with tamales and covered with chili. I've never been brave enough to try this favorite but make sure you're hungry! It's a plate full! They serve fries and tater tots, as well as, desserts. Also, the have frozen tamale bundles (of three), chili and other options to go! Check out their Carry Out menu!

Lots of flavor and very juicy. The patty needed a little salt but otherwise it was good. The sweet potato fries stole the prize though. Man are the spectacular. Perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection with just a little salt. The atmosphere is good. Very casual. It's not full service so if you run out of your favorite soft drink, then that's on you! It is free refills. So get up and go get more. I'd definitely recommend this place. I believe the chicken tenders are better than the burger, but the burger isn't anything to sneeze at either.
