Best place to escape the heat for the best service and atmosphere in my opinion Great family run restaurant that they are funny and heart of gold status willing to help me get to a safe place when car was stolen to get help with the resources in town it's the willing to give the shirt of their back family in town and to say anything bad about the fact that a cook offer a complete stranger a ride after his shift tells you about the staff. Nothing but good memories of the place. read more

Rutherford's 66 Diner - Cinnamon roll French toast - Diners Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

On Route 66 this is the kind of breakfast I was expecting some simple and old school, the menu was easy and the coffee was delicious. Eggs, potatoes and bacon was my choice with sourdough toast bringing up the rear, with a dab of red salsa the dance of flavors proceeded. Service was attentive and pleasant and the order to deliver time was very fast, just what you want when traveling and time is a factor. The scenic decorations only added to the experience of traveling on the most storied highway in America...Enjoy read more

Rutherford's 66 Diner - Fish Combo Plate - Diners Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

Came in based off reviews and we were not disappointed! Our server, Autumn, was amazing! She kept up with the orders and offered wonderful customer service. Everything she did, she did with a smile and kindness. Even when one of my kids accidentally spilled his drink, she was kind and caring about it. We ordered cheeseburgers, regular hamburger, short stack pancakes with a side egg, Jack Daniel's pork chop dinner, and French Dip sandwich. Everything was cooked perfectly! The hamburgers were flavorful and juicy. My oldest ate 2! While inside is not very big, they were able to accommodate 6 of us at a booth. I would highly recommend this quaint little gem on Route 66! We would definitely come again! read more

Really classic diner with good food. Stopped for breakfast on our way to California on Route 66 and glad we did! Server was friendly and even allowed us to order our pancakes extra small - personal preference, and very tasty - to which the kitchen obliged. Not a fancy spot but good for those passing by. read more

It's a greasy spoon. I almost turned around and walked out to be honest with you when I saw two people in red Trump hats. Wasn't sure what I got myself into, but went ahead and went in. Got a California club sandwich that was freaking amazing and had a server who was really nice. Sure they could clean up the place if they wanted to make it look a little better but the food was excellent especially the chef with a handlebar mustache. Thank you. read more

Unassuming 50s-style diner with decent food. Portions are nicely sized and coffee is hot and made with freshly ground beans. I'm visiting Kingman, but I will say this is a "regulars" spot, where everybody knows your name. Old school booths make up a large portion of the restaurant and a HUGE counter seating also available. Staff is friendly and efficient. I support the mom and pops and this is a good one...off the beaten path but very accessible! read more

Stopped in here from out of town trying to have a genuine route 66 diner experience, The food was just not great, the prices were average. Staff was ok but kind of forgot about us once it was time to get our check. On the upside the place has great A/C when it's unbearably hot out. This place seems to its regulars who frequent. read more

Great ambiance, lovely staff. Cute decor, although the booth seats have seen some wear. Food was eh. The Philly cheese steak was okay. The meat was a little dry and there wasn't much cheese We upgrade to the onion rings which were a bit old and some were dried out. read more

When one friend lives in California and another lives in Nevada, it only makes sense to meet in Kingman when friend 1 is on a road trip down I-40. So that is exactly what we did this past weekend. Unbeknownst to me, there are three places named Rutherford's in Kingman. Luckily we ended up at the same place. Just a fair warning to you readers in case you find yourself in a similar situation. I had been reviewing the menu before making the drive down from LV. I knew I wanted a Wellington sandwich. That is thin sliced prime rib with grilled mushrooms and onions topped with horseradish hollandaise. Sort of an upscale cheese steak with sauce instead of cheese. A good sandwich that I had to eat with fork and knife because there was no way I was going to be able to pick this thing up. It was quite good and the stuff that was left on the plate made for a good fry sauce. My friend and his wife both got breakfast plates. It was 8AM afterall. I'm the odd one out in this story (and others). But I tell you what, this place is a busy breakfast hot spot at 8AM on a Saturday. There was a line out the door by the time we were told to leave. Not in so many words but it was definitely hinted at that we were taking up space. We understood and freed up the table. Took our conversation out to the parking lot. Even that was getting crowded. So, if you're looking for a retro diner on Route 66, try Rutherford's 66. Good food. Good music. Fair service. A place to meet up and reconnect after too many years. And really, what better place to reminisce during a road trip than on one of the most storied roads in the US? read more

A super place to eat a delicious meal :-) We had the chicken Alfredo and it was a blast!!! sooooo yammi! Stuff very friendli and "fast" ;-) read more

My husband and I are big Route 66 fans. So we had to check this place out. We loved it. A big variety of menu choices. We have been there twice now. For breakfast one time and lunch another time. We will definitely be back next time we are in Kingman. The food is great and the staff is too! read more

The staff was super nice and the prices were good. The breakfast was just whatever. Gross milkshake. The French toast was really really dry and I got the eggs and bacon on a whole huge separate plate for no reason, and the biscuit and potatoes in his skillet were so dry. And the place is super noisy because it's kind of a truck stop place which is cool but if the atmosphere is gonna be rough the food better be really good and it was just not good. read more

Coming from Orange County, CA, I've eaten all kinds of food, but this restaurant is something else. We ordered the fries, steak, mushroom burger, and a root beer float. The staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely caring. We had some leftover eggs for the baby to go but forgot to take them with us. When we went back, they cooked two fresh eggs for us to take instead. Amazing food, amazing staff. This place is definitely going to be our go-to stop every time we pass by. read more

Smells of raw sewage... Staff said "I don't smell anything " RUN away! Place is run down and back of the building which you pass from the parking lot looks like a dump. read more

Excellent food. The lemonade is awesome. I've never had a bad meal here. The service has always been good.

TY Rutherford's for providing us with a GREAT first time experience on route 66! TY Yelpers for steering us the right way. We stopped in on our way from Vegas to the GC. After reading reviews I knew what to expect. Hearty food, reasonably priced, great service in a historic spot. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a friendly young man who offered us a seat & the bar or we were asked to wait just a few minutes for a booth. We opted to wait. This place was poppin! But as promised we were seated in less than 5 min. Our booth was clean and had everything we needed ie silverware w napkins and we were given menus by our host. The table had a colorful Route 66 logo on it. Very fitting and it jived well with the rest of the ol' school American diner decor. My hubby ordered the highly recommended Country Fried Steak breakfast and it was just as hearty, tasty and perfectly cooked as the reviews said it would be. I didn't have enough appetite for such a belly full so I had 2 scrambled eggs and coffee. My eggs were served hot as was my coffee. 2 VERY important musts for each am I right? The answer is Yes! Our server was incredibly busy BUT on it! Super friendly, zero mistakes and very accommodating. She was a sweetheart. All in all, this was a great experience and we would definitely stop in again on our way through Kingman. read more

The fried mushrooms were great and so huge. They were not soggy in the middle. Service was nice.

WOW, this place is awesome! Stopped by on 10/26/24 for an early lunch and decided to stop by for some breakfast items, boy it did not dissapoint. This joint is defenitly a blast from the past. Traditional all American Dinner located right off the famous Route 66. Loved the ambiance considering where you are. Our waitress was extremely kind and helpful! She was on it the entire time and checked on us repeatedly which we appreciated greatly. Menu is good and extensive, a little bit for everyone. My wife and I shared the meal and ordered a ham steak plate and the cinnamon roll French toast and it was all INCREDIBLE! The ham steak was grilled to perfection was of great quality. Considering the serving size, it's worth the price. The cinnamon roll French toast are probably some of the best I have ever had, truly outstanding! This place really is a 10/10. If your in the area, make sure to check them out. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I know forsure if I am ever in the area again, I will defenitly be stopping by again. Thank you Ruthfords for the GREAT hospitality and food. Till next time! read more

I can not even explain how wonderful this diner was. Everything was made fresh and flavorful. Our waitress Janean was so kind and helpful. And Louie! I'm going to be dreaming about that A1 burger for the rest of my life. My mom is NOT a fan of beef, finds it tough and dry and generally unpleasant to eat, but she's been telling everyone she knows about that Mushroom Swiss Burger. My grandmother ordered a salad but as soon as she saw our burgers she had it boxed up so she could order one too. The playlist was fun and the atmosphere is so nice, MUCH better than the touristy spot right on 66. So appreciative of Malia at the Kingman Route 66 gift shop for the recommendation. read more

Stopped in for the first time today and it will not be our last! The restaurant is clean and smells delicious even from outside!! We were greeted immediately and seated in a few minutes even though the place was PACKED! There are endless choices of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. The staff never stops moving and all of them are very friendly. I had the eggs Benedict - the hollandaise sauce was creamy and delicious, the eggs were perfectly poached (and had delicious orange yolks) and I was very pleased with my extra crispy hash browns. My husband had an omelet with a ton of stuff in it (so much stuff it was falling out onto the plate) and the country potatoes. He ate like he hadn't been fed in awhile so it must've been really good! All in, 2 breakfasts and 2 drinks cost us $40 - that's super fair in this economy! I only regret that I didn't ask them where they get such awesome eggs! read more

Super delicious! Yelp, your reviewers did not disappoint. And I got a yelp check-in discount of 10%! My companions and I enjoyed: cinnamon roll French toast, biscuits and gravy, country fried steak, bacon cheeseburger, and kids Mickey pancake. The portions were huge and the price was super reasonable, we even had leftovers. Normally, the kids menu is not a lot of food, but it was here, a generous portion! Our total was less than $60 (after my Yelp discount). The menu is extensive. There are a wide variety of foods available. The server was so kind. The restaurant is clearly older, but this is a local place where the locals will be eating which is always a good sign. Also, there are tons of veteran appreciation items and decorations. Be prepared - they make your food fresh so it could take a bit. This is NOT fast food. I highly recommend! read more

Such a great find! We had camped in the mountains and wanted a good breakfast before heading out to Oatman. And we found Rutherford's. The service was great! The waitress was super sweet and attentive. My husband loves when waitresses fill up his coffee without asking and she did this. The food was great as well. I had the chorizo scramble and it was delicious. Not greasy like some chorizo plates have. Huge portion!! Hubby had the country benedict and also loved it. Prices are reasonable and like I said huge amounts of food. The inside of the restaurant was really lively and clean. Lots of locals which is a good sign. We will definitely be back! read more

The young girl with a lot of tattoos is quite the personality. Absolutely rude and acts entitled. I watched my food sit on the heat lamp area for quite a while and asked if I can at least get my kids food. It's truly unreal how customer service seems to be dying in these small establishments. read more

Rutherford's 66 Diner - Meatloaf was decent but sadly falls apart. - Diners Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

Let me begin by saying the service was good. The waitress was nice and got us everything we needed. However, I am a black coffee drinker, so I take my coffee more seriously. The coffee here was very weak and tasted watery. I exchanged for an iced tea, which was also a little weak. I ordered the two egg special. The eggs were okay, if a bit cold. The potatoes were tiny and hard, making it difficult to stab them with a fork. The bacon was more oily with less flavor than I'd like. Very good decor and a cozy ambiance, but I don't think I'd come back. read more

Love stopping by when I'm in the area. Current Early Bird Special for $6.99 before 10am is Biscuit& Gravy with 2 Eggs and Hash Browns. Of course we ordered one, their biscuits are fluffy and buttery. Zucchini Fries- were more of zucchini wedges of 1 inch diameters. Batter was light and crispy with a peppery taste. Pork Chop & Eggs- server said people usually order them fried, which I then chose. Pork chops were really dry and tough. I wished they tenderized the pork just a tad bit. Wouldn't order this again. Omelets are huge and filling. read more

Service was okay, The cook threw the plates around, didn't look like he enjoyed his job, which was evident by my order. I ordered there famous eggs Benedict were forgettable, don't know what kind of sauce they put on top, it yellow though. All served with burnt country fries. I tried to drown it down with lemon water- the lemons tasted old. Sorry I wanted to be impressed but it didn't happen read more

Ambiance was super cool since the building is actually one of the original Denny's built in the 60's. The historical sentiment is pretty cool unlike these newer buildings that strive for bland and stagnant designs. I had the Denver omelet. It was good and fit the classic American breakfast dishes. Would recommend and I'm happy with the service. My server was fast and prompt. read more

Really good breakfast. Huevos ranchers excellent. Everything good with great service.

Stopped here on the way to Sedona after reading the reviews of folks being really nice about making things vegetarian. The was a sign in the diner itself which bragged about their ability to make things vegetarian. Having done my research by reading these posts, I asked for the Baja tacos and inquired about their vegetarian alternative (expecting to get the potato option like folks here have talked about). The server was extremely rude and very condescendingly told me there would be no replacement for the meat. Maybe that's how they do it now though it's weird that the cost of the plate includes the meat and the vegetarian option they brag about is to remove the meat and charge the same amount? The vibe was a little off - she appeared to treat me and another person in the party with much rudeness. The common factor was that we were the only two people of color in the group (actually in the entire restaurant). I ended up getting the eggs with potatoes. The poached eggs were gross - swimming in the liquid they were probably cooked in? Yikes. Potatoes were ok though - hence the two star instead of one. My advice to y'all: avoid this place unless you're really out of options. read more
