    Just stopped by and got a fried taco. It turns out that tacos are a dollar on Tuesday, and it was excellent!

    What went well? Let me tell you, EVERYTHING!…read moreFood: Delicious 10/10 Service: Friendly and attentive staff Ambiance: Cozy

    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.

    What an intriguing place! Rustic, nostalgic! Seating was fast on a Saturday despite being busy…read more Staff were all very friendly. Service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the 8oz Meer's cheeseburgers, onion rings, and sweet teas. Everything was cooked and very flavorful. I recommend tasing the burger before adding any condiments. Onion rings were some of the best I've had.. crispy!! Sweet Tea (I live in Virginia) was on point! For dessert we had the raspberry and peach cobblers (to go as we were stuffed!). They were delicious!! Homemade for sure! They offer with ala mode which would be even better but alas that doesn't travel well. All around a great experience. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is it's cash only and you get one receipt and they don't divide it up so you'll need to pay as one group but the modern calculator can help with that. It's definitely worth the visit !!

    This isn't really a Yelp kind of restaurant in the traditional sense…read more A little shocked the reviews are so low. This place is a landmark and interesting to see. Food was fine, staff was friendly. The massive burger wasn't the best thing I've ever had but like I said, it's such an interesting stop it's not even really about the food. Glad to have taken my wife there, would go back just to try the cobbler. People in town were raving about it but just didn't have room left to order it.
