Today, it was packed between 09-10 -- then, a cranky waitress quit! The staff scrambled, the two waitresses divided the quitter's tables and kicked into even higher gear, the kitchen assistant lent a hand w/the tables, and the owner's husband started busing tables! "Team" doesn't only apply when things are running smoothly -- I saw a great Team today. I had great chow -- I eat breakfast here about 1x per week. And I will continue to support this local family business and encourage others to patronize this restaurant. read more

I've wanted to try this cool little diner for a while and finally got a chance. The inside matches the outside of this 50's style eatery. I sat at the counter and what a treat it was, listening to the old time rock-n-roll and choosing my breakfast. I ordered the eggs and chicken fry and was not disappointed. The biscuit wasn't how mamma cooked them but it wasn't bad. That is honestly the only thing I didn't care for but it may be a matter of preference. I'd definitely go back at some point to try lunch or dinner. Give this cool little back in time diner a try! read more

The food was good. But I am giving it a terrible experience because when I got home I found out that my card was charged an extra $100. And this was added after I had already signed my bill and put zero down for the tip and put my total on the receipt. And the experience wasn't worth my waitress having a $100 tip when we had left cash on the table for her. Also she never came back to check on us. All of our drinks was empty and my son who had just graduated from basic training never got his ranch for his appetizer. To say the serve was minimum is an understatement. I tried to call the diner twice and left messages with no response so I've had to file a fraud claim with my bank. If you want to go there I would recommend paying in cash!!! read more

This is a great retro diner that serves breakfast all day. They do have a lunch and dinner option if your not in the mood for breakfast. Price is reasonable and cheaper than other restaurants nearby. Definitely a good find and the word of mouth was the reason we had stopped in. Will be dining their again soon! read more

May be good for burgers and fries, but the meatloaf are mashed potatoes were awful. Good atmosphere and good service.

Horrible 75$ worth of food! Cute place excellent service unedible food.The brown "gravy" as they called it stays with you (not in the way one would want) The grilled chicken wasnt cooked through, i could have chewed the chicken fried chicken like gum(for days)if only it tasted as good. Route 66 diner checked if our bucket list‍. Old school diner ambiance. read more

Food was great, service was outstanding. You don't see many diners like this anymore!

our waitress was nice the only good qualit, when sited there was a cigarette butt under the table that should have been our sign to leave , but we ordered a burger and the meat was spoiled we had three people try it. None of us can swallow a bite. They took the burger back and the chef came out. and basically accused us of just wanting a free meal very despectfull when we where very polite . will not recommend! read more

Took our order and never put in in. We waited for 25 minutes and asked but no apology. No idea what the food is like. Bad experience.

Saw the reviews and of course the name stood out. Walked in, didn't get acknowledged, for at least a minute. A lady came over and sat us down as she was standing there, trying to take out drink order she was playing with her hair. Then I watched her walk over to make our drinks did not wash her hands. Gave us our drinks, I was so disgusted. She then checked out a table, after they paid she did not wash her hands. We then watched her deliver another table their drinks, we watched her play with her mouth then proceed to take that hand to push their mug handle towards the customer. I was done! Methedup lady done ruined our day. We paid for the soda then left. Did not even try to order food!! read more

We waited almost an hour for our food. The waitress did not refill our drinks until I got up and asked. Our food was mediocre at best. The burgers were okay but all of our meats were over cooked and dry read more

Umm... they charged us $3 for a orange juice. We looked at their menu and there wasn't much of interest. Oh... we ordered water and an orange juice and then found a ROACH under us on the floor. And not the little blunt. The nasty little insect. read more

I stayed at the hotel right across from it and gave it a try, the food was really delicious their meals are well priced and will fill you up if not leave you satisfied. Also just the environment of the place is like a warm comfortable feeling. They music taste is great. They have a little mix of everything especially old school stuff. Just overall between the food, the workers, and the environment is a great place to eat. I've been there 3 times in 2 days when I stayed at the hotel. read more

The meatloaf dinner was delicious! Really enjoyed the oldies music playing. Will be back next time we are driving through for sure.

We visit here twice a year, when we stay at a nearby hotel on our drive home to Texas from Indiana. Every time we have visited, we have had an enjoyable breakfast -- in the past I have really enjoyed the corned beef hash, the pork tenderloin, and the ham and eggs. But the crown jewel was always the biscuits and gravy -- the biscuits have always been fresh and tasty, and the cream gravy nice and hot and fresh. Until this past Saturday. I wasn't as hungry as normal, so I just ordered the Special Country Breakfast with Bacon... The bacon was good. The eggs, ordered scrambled, were over easy. I'm OK with that, a simple mistake, and I ate them. They weren't great. Something was off. The biscuits and gravy were, surprisingly, unappetizing. Four pucks of biscuit covered with a lukewarm paste. It was awful. I was never asked how my meal was. The manager looked frazzled, and I think they were shorthanded. I'd like to think that they were simply having a bad day. I didn't make a fuss. People around me were enjoying their meals (I think) and I didn't want to be "that guy." If it weren't this place, which I have really enjoyed in the past, I'd simply never return after that meal. But I want to like this place again. I've had great breakfasts here in the past. I gave two stars here because, shame on me, I've never reviewed the great meals that I've had here in the past. But this was definitely a one-star experience. So if the manager or owner is listening to this, here's what I'm going to do. We will be back in December or early January. I will order the biscuits and gravy again. And I want to be amazed. I want to have the best diner breakfast I've ever had. And, full disclosure, my 9 year old son wants me to say that he really enjoyed his pancake and bacon. So, there's that. read more

Awesome Diner with a very friendly staff. Stephanie was the sweetest waitress and took great care of us. read more

St. Roberts, Missouri --- "Route 66 Diner" is my least favorite of the many diners I have visited. ... the food was blah (bacon not crisp, hash browns not "brown'd" enough to heat completely, & toast was not even hot enough to melt warm butter) messin' up a hot breakfast takes a bit of an effort, in my opinion p.s. consider the "Country Cafe" as an option I personally would not recommend this eating experience "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 09/20/15 read more

Route 66 Diner - the "lost" review that Yelp would not allow me to re-post - New American Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Labor Day...only 1 waitress and 1 cook in the back. A few folks in front of us, but not many. Still around 45 minutes to get food on our order. Being short staffed is tough...but, should've closed for the day instead of having patrons wait so long for food. I'd pass if you are needing to get back on the road. read more

Veggie insert, biscuit and potatoes are fresh and perfectly done. Fast service, in spite of being very busy. Pleasant waitress. Sunday 1 pm read more

Route 66 Diner - Veggie omlette - New American Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Don't come here if you plan on ordering anything other than breakfast food, burgers, and fries. Otherwise, this place is god tier when it comes to diner food and breakfast skillets. Let's start with their burgers. I don't think words can describe how addicted I am to their Blue Moon Burger. This monstrosity is so succulent when complimented with the right amount of blue cheese crumbles and their special sauce and cheese! I can only imagine the heart attack awaiting me if I ate it everyday for a week. So good!!! And the fries!!! So many fries with the burger meals!!! Hand cut thick crunchy fries! Hell yes!!! Their standard breakfast meals are on par with Cracker Barrel, but I think their breakfast skillets are what make their menu shine. A heaping serving of roasted potatoes in a skillet loaded with cheese, herbs, and whatever meat of your choice. Never has becoming fat gotten so much easier. I would honestly give this place 5 stars if they made their non-burger and non-breakfast dishes a bit more flavorful. Otherwise great food, good service, and try to eat there during their happy hour if you also want to enjoy a beer! (Otherwise it gets pricey) read more

Weird vibe in this place. Staff was friendly. Food tasted off. I couldn't even finish my burger. Usually I can't go wrong with a diner, but this was an exception unfortunately. read more

I don't know if it was just an off day but I was not too impressed with my veggie omelet that I ordered this morning. The egg was over cooked and the home fries were not very good either. Our waitress was friendly, but was a little slow on checking in on us with what we needed. It seemed like they were all a little unorganized. However, I did like the old school diner feel. read more

Route 66 Diner - New American Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Just OK. We dropped in for lunch because it was close to hotel. Basic diner menu and decor of. 1950's diner. Prices were NOT 1950's so u should expect to drop about $15 per person including tip. I ordered a Reuben (sort of my standard "go to" sandwich) and it was just OK. Service was fast and average. We did have a great conversation with a group of Australians who were on a Route 66 bus tour from Chicago to LA, but I wouldn't expect they will still be there when I read this. I'd like to go 2 Stars here but can't really say anything bad. Probably you are better off going to Cracker Barrel right next door. Same price better food. read more

Pleasantly surprised and I was delighted being the nostalgic buff I am. We were staying at a nearby hotel, tired and just wanted a quick bite. We were the ONLY patrons when we walked in which was a cause for concern but the waitress was so nice and hospitable that we stayed to give it a shot. She was fun and pleasant; saying she guessed it was empty because everyone was out having margaritas for Cinco de Mayo! Right off I liked the 1950's decor and noticed that everything was extremely clean, so I began to breath a little easier. The food came out perfect and tasted very, very good! This place deserves a chance so if you're ever in the area, give them a try! read more

When I see an diner from the past, I had to check it out to see if they live up the repatriation! I had the chocolate shake- beautiful taste made by the old milkshake machine I love that!

It's starting to show its age and quality kinda wavers a bit. Still has all the whacky clientele as ever, but maybe that will score some entertainment points if you're used to a waffle house to end the evening/morning. read more

I went here on Easter afternoon around 3pm. I honestly thought it was closed because there was only 1 car in the parking lot, but to my pleasant surprise they were opened. I was the only customer at the time, so I just sat at the bar area. I was greeted immediately by a nice waitress, and the service was fantastic throughout my meal. I ordered the country fried steak, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. My meal came out quickly, and when I say they smoother everything in gravy, that's an understatement. But, I love gravy! However, if you don't want your food swimming in it, I would recommend asking to light gravy, or getting it on the side. The portion was absolutely enormous. The country fried steak was great, mashed potatoes average, veggies average, but the roll included was pretty bad. However, Let's be real, I had no room for a roll anyways. I would absolutely go back. read more

I saw the reviews and had to try this place. My family and i love the way the diner is set up. Very vintage. We ordered and the food came out pretty quick. We all ordered the chicken fried steak, came with eggs, potatoes or hash browns, and toast or biscuit. The food was surprisingly delicious. The portions are huge! The biscuit is to die for!!! It's so buttery and fluffy. To top it off we ordered pumpkin cheesecake, original cheesecake, and apple pie for dessert. We are very satisfied. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Sat down today on a Sunday afternoon to get a nice breakfast. Had the pork tenderloin with the eggs and hash browns and toast. Poured ketchup over the fries and took a bite only to taste a very spoiled almost alcoholic taste from the ketchup. Therefore all our fries were ruined. Ate into the pork tenderloin which looked like extremely dry and deep fried chicken. Completely and very unappealing. Roast beef sandwich also very dry and not fresh at all. Extremely disappointed. Chile soup was very watery and meat was not fresh. Not a good experience. Will not return. Fries in itself were very fresh though. read more

This was a super pleasant surprise! We came off the road, riding Route 66 from Chicago to LA. Walked into a Waffle House a little ways away but still weren't seated after 5 minutes. I remembered seeing this diner right off the highway so we headed back there. Wow, what a great place! Very friendly employees, tasty, reasonably-priced food and a clean, fun environment. The coffee was good and the breakfast portions large. I truly enjoyed this place and would absolutely recommend it. Bonus: They cater to military and there were a few service members enjoying breakfast at the time. read more
