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.

What an amazing place! Small town feel and awesome down home…read morecooking! The biscuits were fresh and baked to perfection, the omelette was loaded and cheesy, the pancakes were fluffy and moist (you don't even need syrup, they are so mildly sweet!) All ingredients were fresh and colorful and everything was incredible! Oh, and don't forget about the buttermilk pie!!! A southern delicacy! Our waitress Nicole was on top of things and very very prompt! Great service from her and everyone else working. Highly, highly recommend this oasis away from the hipster chain scene!

Was greeted as soon as we walked in and order taken in less than 5 mins. The dining area (tables and booths) is on the smaller side but seats quite a few. Food arrived and it looked great!

So much so that we went back for supper that night for their Indian taco special! Also pictures below.

They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but we especially love their onion burgers. The fries were plentiful and perfectly done, and the service was fast and friendly.

I had 2 eggs sunny side up cause they can't do poached, with bacon and toast. The toast is not toast, they do it on the grill top and grill on one side, so it's warmed bread, the crispy bacon was so crispy it was burnt on the edges. My husband had the grilled ham and cheese with a side of cheesy tots, should have passed on the cheesy tots (picture taken as we left). The tots arrived a good 5 minutes before our meal, instead of as the side for the sandwich. Waitress was attentive, but they could definitely invest in an actual toaster before advertising toast

It was hard to know what to order at first because there were so many good things....there are dinner specials, there are flatbread pizzas, there's plenty of eggs all day including platters, Benedicts, omelettes, and all these bowls I ended up getting a steak bowl with scrambled eggs on top of hash browns with hollandaise sauce and grape tomatoes. Very tasty and just right as far as being filling. I asked for a little bit of onion as well and it was just delicious. They have avocado toast cinnamon roll pancakes croissant french toast waffles Belgian waffles so many really good things fried Chicken huevos rancheros avocado breakfast sandwiches I mean you've got a lot. There are a lot of great lunch and dinner items you can get chicken pot pie which everybody craves so often there's roasted turkey there's meatloaf shrimp and grits ribs shepherd's pie teriyaki salmon many many different burgers that look amazing and special sandwiches like a double decker BLT chicken salad croissant Philly cheese steak Metro club and more great salads it looks like and many different sides that you can get. They have regular iced tea and coffee but they always have a flavored one as well, non-sweetened. It's great. The service is very friendly and prompt They have just two desserts one is a bread pudding with lemon and blueberries and the other is a chocolate cake so if you're coming for dinner and dessert just know that you have a couple of choices I don't know if they change or not. There's a lot of different sides like green beans and broccoli and other things that are not only tasty but healthy. The most amazing part is is that the prices are very moderate which is so good that's why it's crowded in here all the time the older crowd and people with families come to this place. And then also people that maybe just want to come and talk to a friend in a cute little booth. It's definitely a recommended place to be.

A very generous cut of steak that was very tender and hand dipped then fried. Biscuits were moist, Eggs cooked over easy as asked. Hash browns were good also. The name says it all. There's 37 different types of gravy available! This isn't a fancy restaurant by any means but not a whole in the wall either. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Its definitely a country diner with good food, good service and atmosphere. If you're in the area its worth a stop. Be mindful that they are only open to 1pm. Recommend giving them a try.
