As travelers from Oregon we wanted to taste something with more authentic local cuisine. Found a small family owned and operated near our hotel. Ordered two Navajo Burgers to go. Arrived and they were packed which was a great sign. Food was ready and the cashier double checked to make sure they were as ordered. They were very large and very delicious! Planned on saving some for breakfast but I ended up splurging and eating the whole thing. Would highly recommend and wish I could find something similar near me in Oregon! read more

Route 66 Diner This place is like a trip back in time to a 50s diner you would expect in Happy Days. I ordered chorizo eggs, hash browns and refried beans. Perfectly seasoned and piping hot. My wife ordered two eggs over easy, hash browns and bacon. Cooked perfectly to order. We were seated quickly and the service was fast. The waitress was one that everyone hopes to get. Polite, came by to refill our drinks without having to be flagged down, made sure everything was just as we had hoped, but also not a hovering waitress. The grand finally was when we ordered our dessert. We are both big fans of a properly cooked sopapilla. So, we each ordered one with a side of honey. They were huge and perfectly cooked. What was surprising was that you could also order them as your main course, stuffed with chicken, beef, shredded beef, carne adovada, or carne asada! Maybe next time! One of the best places in town to visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

Such an awesome stop! We went to Route 66 Diner and it was incredible! We got a Navajo taco with chopped green chili, sopapillas, and a drink -- all for a great price. Everything was delicious! The sopapillas were amazing with honey (though a little powdered sugar would have made them perfect). The atmosphere was adorable -- classic diner vibes -- and the girls working there were so sweet and friendly. Definitely a place worth stopping by! read more

We came here on Christmas Eve for breakfast as our last stop before returning home after a very long road trip. I have been to a couple of diners with Route 66 theme so far. Yet, this was the best in my opinion. People were so friendly, and no, I am not talking only about who works there; everyone including other customers currently having their meals or chit-chatting, or whoever came after us. Everyone welcomed us. Tbh, I've never ever experienced something like this. I felt like I walked into one of my relatives' houses. The service was also top-notch. They gave suggestions about the menu and kept refilling our coffee throughout our meal. The menu was very affordable and the items were quite big. My husband ordered carne adovada plates, and I ordered a carne adovada burrito from the grab & go section. I didn't know, and our server warned me that that burrito would be smaller in size than the regular burrito which was listed very back of the menu. Well, I cannot eat a lot in one sitting, so I went with the small one. Glad I did. Because it was still too much for me to eat in the morning. Both items would be prepared with either red or green chili. Because we couldn't decide, our server suggested having it together; make it Christmassy. I loved the sauce. I can handle my spice, so I felt it maybe 6 or 7 out of 10. A good kick, and still enjoyable to eat. If I ever be on the same road to some places, I will definitely stop by again. Thank you. read more

It was time for some road trip food and what could be more fitting than a place named for the iconic route 66 ? The place itself is bright inside with rich red colors and bright lighting. There are plenty of posters displaying nostalgia. Our server greeted me with a big smile and a positive vibe. I ordered a burger with fries and a chocolate shake, what else would I order at a nostalgia diner ? The hamburger was very good, raw onion, lettuce and tomato. The fries were just ok to me but I don't enjoy fries as much as most people do. The shake was very good, rich, thick and chocolatey and my glass was filled plus the metal mixer cup was half full. The lady server was great, friendly and making sure things were going ok. The place was very clean, prices fair, good food, big portions and good service. Bingo the Route 66 diner hit on the things I look for in an eating establishment. I can recommend the Route 66 diner if you pass through Gallup on your road trip. On my return trip I pland to stop in again to have another burger and a chocolate shake. read more

I spent the night in Gallup, and was looking for a great place to have breakfast. Thank goodness I found this place on yelp because I may have had the best breakfast I have ever had. The diner is not fancy, but you can smell the food from outside and it pulls you in like a rope. I was able to choose my seat, and a very friendly waitress I was at my table in less than a minute to get my drink order. There are many choices on the menu, including a few Mexican breakfast options, which I really appreciated because I figured if I was in Gallup, I wanted to get some thing with Mexican or American Indian flavor influences. I settled on the eggs and enchiladas and was not disappointed. My server recommended the green sauce has the red sauce is a bit spicier, but the green sauce was still quite a bit of bite and a whole lot of flavor. The enchiladas were full of cheese, and so delicious. The eggs were well cooked and the beans were everything. I hoped they would be. It was very clear as I looked around that this is a Place beloved by the locals, which always bodes well when I'm traveling. Most of the patrons knew each other but I ended up chatting with many of them, and they were very friendly. I highly recommend grabbing breakfast here if you find yourself in the area. I sincerely doubt that you will regret it and if I find myself in Gallup again, you can bet I'll be sitting there eating. read more

The food was amazing and the service was stellar. Brenda, our waitress, even loaned me her jacket while we ate. Such a sweet gesture!

This little diner is a great find. My mom and I stopped by on our way home from our NC to CA road trip. I got the stuffed sopapilla with eggs, bacon and hash browns, topped with green hatch chilies and cheese. It was awesome! The owner, Sal, was very hospitable and proud of his dinner. He said his m even makes the food and insists on working even though he and his siblings think she should be retired instead of working in the kitchen. She did a great job and I recommend to anyone looking for a good meal while passing through on Highway 40. read more

Was on my way to the consistent BS of Micky D's. Saw a local cop stopped and pulled in. Friendly service and welcoming ambiance. I'm waiting for my burger to be cooked as I write this. If it doesn't meet my 5 star experience and expectation. I'll surely adjust and notate as to why. Otherwise, stop here and enjoy while you're in such a wonderful part of the West. read more

We loved this place for lunch. The strawberry shake was the perfect pink confection and the beef burrito with both green and red chile was mmm-perfect. The grilled chicken salad was full of fresh vegetables and the breakfast burrito (delightfully served at 2pm) was savory happiness. The server was fast, attentive and funny. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

A cute vintage diner with booths and counter service, it's worn out but sparkling clean. I was impressed at how carefully the staff was cleaning everything while providing prompt and friendly service. Service was very attentive and sweet. They were all welcoming and helpful! The food was just OK. While their burgers might be fresh, their chicken fingers were definitely out of a bag of frozen low-quality pieces. $12 for a really subpar lunch. The chicken burrito was ok. The sauces were fantastic but the chicken filling was very dry and had no seasoning. It was stuffed full of chicken which unfortunately had a few bones. The adovada was better. Nice flavor but the pork chunks were inconsistent. Some were utterly perfect and fork tender. Others had not cooked long enough and were tough. Lots of locals so they must usually have good food. Maybe we hit them on a bad day? read more

Food was really good and staff was nice and attentive! It's a cute little diner of interstate.

We absolutely loved our dinner at the Route 66 Diner! We got patty melts, and the food was AMAZING. Our service was perfect as well, we felt attended to without feeling rushed. The signs outside and inside of the restaurant made it feel so quaint. We were not from the area, so we were taking a risk on where to eat and we are so glad this is where we stopped! read more

Remember the diners of the 1950-60s? They have an old Coca-cola machine. It's very quaint. Staff were very nice as were the locals. Very clean and food was good. It was fun to revisit the nostalgia of the route 66 diner. Worth the stop for sure. read more

Passing through town and not wanting fast food I popped into the Route 66 Diner for dinner. I should have settled for KFC where it would have been cheaper and better. I went for the chk fried steak which is nothing to rave about. Your typical frozen patty with a scoop of boxed mashed potatoes and some two day old corn. The mashed potatoes tasted like soap and the corn was far from fresh. On the side was a stale roll. If your passing through keep on going to a better diner cause this one isn't it. read more
