    Three Car Pile-Up
    Nicolaus O.

    This place has yet to disappoint! Staff go above and beyond for you. The place is very big and can get very crowded during breakfast. Simple decor and they have an outdoor patio for a dining option! So every time I come I try one of their special highlighted in yellow. This was the Three Car Pile-Up and talk about massive portions! I devoured everything on that place and practically didn't eat anything for the remainder of the day! It's worth every penny I can guarantee that.

    We used the online waitlist to check in since there was a wait. They were having some tech issues because it said it was our turn but it really wasn't. That part was a little frustrating. We waited probably 10 mins total, so still not too bad. Just would be nice if their online thing synched properly. Our food was really nice. The loaded sticky bun was amazing. Really great omelet too. Service was pretty quick, which was also a plus. Our waiter was attentive but I wish restaurants would train waitstaff in how to project their voice. I'm not hard of hearing but I struggled to hear what he was even saying. But other than that he did a nice job and the service was good.

    Tried this place as we were passing through...we were greeted and seated almost immediately upon walking in. The staff were all very friendly. The food was excellent! The chicken is soooo good! Will definitely come back.

    Here's a peek at the menu!

    Service was great, food was good, sweet tea was actually sweet tea! At the end of the day it is what it is, but give it a try!

    Good coffee with easy refills.

    Stopped by for dinner on our way through Joplin. Glad we did!…read more I ordered the new Chicken Potpie. I was warned that it would be bubbling hot because they cook it in the pizza oven, it wasn't a lie! I love my food hot! I even had to blow on it to cool it down. It wasn't perfection...only thing that would have been better is to have some potatoes in it, but it still was delicious. There was a good amount of chicken too, I'm stuffed and couldn't eat it all...I tried! Hubby had the Soy Glazed Salmon. It came with rice and broccoli. He really enjoyed it. It came highly recommended by Boston, our server. Great recommendation! Boston kept our drinks full and was very attentive. We will ask for his section when we are back in town. Bathrooms were clean and the restaurant was pretty full on a Sunday night. Definitely will go back when we are in the area! I saw a cheeseburger that look good too...next time!

The waitress did notice they brought me the wrong salad and she offered to fix it but I said I was fine. I also had the Sunset Beach cocktail and you could definitely taste the blackberry. It was pretty good. We agreed we would eat here again.

    Cars on the Route in Galena is one of those Route 66 stops that manages to be memorable whether the…read moredoors are open or not. Even if the station itself is closed, the outside displays and vehicles are always accessible, making it easy to wander around, snap photos, and pose beside some true Americana at any hour of the day. The site is a restored Kan-O-Tex gas station, and it has become a playful landmark thanks to its alleged inspiration for characters in Pixar's Cars movie. Parked out front are classic fire trucks and other vintage vehicles that immediately transport you back to the heyday of the Mother Road. Old gas pumps stand as reminders of a time when stations like this were lifelines for travelers, and through the windows you can glimpse memorabilia that adds to the nostalgic atmosphere. It's a stop that blends history, pop culture, and roadside charm. Whether you're making a quick detour off I-44 or planning Galena as a destination in its own right, Cars on the Route offers a slice of classic Americana that feels both timeless and inviting.

Iron Skillets are pretty common at truck stops, but this one really stood out for the service and consistency. Hot food, quick service, and our drinks were never empty.

    Quick Review: Overall 3 stars, because it's a chain,…read moredoesn't matter if it's a Denny's or an I-Hop, the food is pretty production line quality. If you've ever been to classic diners like the ones featured on Guy Fieri's such as Sam's #3 in Aurora Colorado (miss those days living out in the Rockies), then you know that special something when you sit down and all the locals come out and congregate for brunch...well didn't get that feel here. However, 5/5 stars to the chef. Let me explain. And don't get me wrong, the server was fantastic. The setting was in the retail section of the Joplin Petro Truck Stop, being a fairly dim but rather quiet corner. In all my years of trucking, on the road, whether it be at a Denny's in a truck stop, or a Black Bear diner, Waffle House, another Iron Skillet, or i-Hop, whenever I order medium rare on a steak, it would always end up on opposite ends of the spectrum-- either very well done OR bloodshot rare. So when my server brought me a true medium rare steak, there was this aura of sacredness to it. I simply didn't expect the chef was going to make it to that likeness...and he proved me wrong. It just shows, that there are still individuals on planet Earth that know how to grill up an everyday New York steak and not destroy it. , Thank you Jesus this art form is still alive and well. But of course going back to the quality and satisfaction levels of eating the food, I still want to stick to a 3. It's a truck stop, it's a chain, it tastes very manufactured production line quality. Like if you walked into any Flying J or Pilot, whatever they have in the hot food trays, it's on par with that. Basically the Caesars Salad, the Mashed Potatoes, but the steak was how a New York strip would taste but on the saltier side. Until next time, maybe I'll check out that other diner in Barstow CA on route 66
