Route 66 Café at the Market may have been another stop for our Oklahoma Route 66 Passport, but this…read moreis the kind of place I would seek out even without a stamp involved! After several stops along the Mother Road, my wife and I were hungry--but we still had a long drive home. We decided to split lunch and debated between the chicken-fried steak dinner and the chicken-fried steak sandwich. Either way, chicken-fried steak was going to happen! The sandwich won, and it was an excellent choice. As a self-appointed chicken-fried steak connoisseur who has sampled them across Oklahoma, I can confidently say this one ranks near the top. The steak was tender, the breading was perfectly crisp, and they added just the right amount of mayo. Nothing fancy--just a really well-made and delicious sandwich. We also ordered fried okra, which arrived before the sandwich. It was piping hot, crispy, and cooked exactly the way fried okra should be. We happily munched on it while waiting for the main event. Natasha provided friendly, attentive service and brought us an extra plate so we could easily divide the sandwich and fries. Those small touches make a difference. The Route 66 décor and classic diner atmosphere added plenty of character. It felt like the perfect place for our final road-trip meal before heading home. Clinton is a little over an hour and a half from our house, and I would gladly make the drive again--especially since breakfast is my thing and that menu still needs to be explored! Passport or not, Route 66 Café at the Market is worth seeking out. Order the chicken-fried steak sandwich, don't skip the fried okra, and make sure you bring your appetite!

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.

Delicious food. Great service. Reasonable Prices. Fun decor…read more Came in 10/7/26 around 7 am (opening time). Few parties at tables server Ava greeted and took beverage order quickly. Decent size menu went for Chicken Fried Steak. Perfectly cooked, tender and well seasoned. Gravy was underneath and was fine the steak is the star of the meal. Goid Hashbrowns as well. Ended with Boom-a-yays, donut like holes that are amazing, and large order which took most to go. All for $23.40 before tip. Ava had 6 tables while I was there and kept up on the coffee and asking if anyone needed anything. She was a rock star.

The restaurant was spotless, for one, and the first employee we interacted with was super helpful with my friend. He was also very funny and friendly. The other two employees we interacted with were as pleasant as can be and also very helpful and fun. The food was great as always. With the shortage of impossible meat, I was less than thrilled, but I can say wholeheartedly that my bowl was great even without my fake meat. I appreciate such an awesome first impression!

I don't know what to say except if you are brave enough to order here.... Make sure you watch them make your food. The Manager, Mike, was friendly and seemed genuinely invested in the operation and willing to help, but it was too late. The employees who run the show when no managers are in the store are the type of humans who hate their jobs and their customers. That type of personality, in the food industry, inevitably ends with bodily fluids in your food.

The Auge family have been established in our little town for decades, serving up delicious barbecue…read morein a warm, unchanged-by-time corner of Weatherford's main shopping centre. Not antiquated by any means, but preserved, from the decor on the walls, to the relish bar full of tasty bits to add to your meal. The little pickle spears are my favorite and a must-have every time I'm there. When I eat at other barbecue restaurants, all get measured up to The Barbecue Shed, and not many meet or pass the bar. This isn't Texas barbecue, where you get cold, picnic style sides. This is Oklahoma barbecue, with plenty of delicious fried options like fries, Okra, and corn nuggets. They have a tasty peach cobbler for the desert lovers as well to compliment their hot sides. Their menu hasn't changed much over the course of time, but why fix what isn't broken? Their ribs are some of the best I've ever had, their brisket is flavorful and lean. I prefer a fattier cut of brisket, but most everyone I know loves leaner brisket, and theirs does not disappoint at all. They serve Kitty's chicken as well, and are always rotating new and interesting specials for their patrons to try out. I go for the ribs. Hands down. Every single time for the better part of the last 25 years. Partnered with Fried okra and their seasoned fries, it's a perfect match and the finest example of local barbecue fare. The Barbecue Shed is a time machine in a way. It harkens back lots of nostalgia for not only locals, but travelers who appreciate a classic eatery while also serving up great meals. I would highly recommend giving them a shot if you never have. It may not be for everyone, but dont let the Negative Nancy's dissuade you. It is my favorite restaurant in town, and there's a high chance you'll be impressed as well.
