    Cheese Crisp, YUM!
    Sara C.

    An iconic roadside restaurant and bar nestled off route 66. There are slim pickings in this town for some good grub, but The Roadkill Cafe does a great job. I have the particular experience of being a vegetarian. And I tend to get a little awkward at steakhouses and the like. I ordered the garden salad, which was MASSIVE. And the cheese crisp, which was also MASSIVE! Both were delicious, and I'd order them again in a heartbeat. This place is really cool, even with all the taxidermy on the wall! My bartender was fabulous, and the ambiance was warm and cozy... again... even with all the taxidermy haha. Worth a stop!

    Felix burgers and fries! Cocktails too! The bartender/ waitress was awesome... she made sure everything was cooked to perfection! Next time I'm Saving room for pie!

    Love this place, great burgers, great sweet tea, great vibes and atmosphere. It's no wonder how this place is an icon on rt 66. I didn't even mention their sky high pies that I'm always too full to try. Great place. Is also like to mention we called in our order 30 minutes before they closed, we walked in 15 minutes pre closing and they were STILL so gracious. I was a chef after the army, we always HATE when people come in last minute, and i know it's the same everywhere, and they were still so nice and just said cmon, we got you. Love that, I'll always go when I'm in the area.

    Coconut Cream Pie
    Sue L.

    Very good stop! The food was fresh and tasty. I liked the Elk Melt, lots of tender meat, plenty of veggies, and just the right amount of cheese. The pies are enormous! We had the Coconut Cream. The crust was very flaky and really made the pie. The coconut filling was delicious. My only fuss is that the cream was Cool Whip. The staff were nice, but a bit under staffed.

    While on vacation, we drove from Arizona to Las Vegas, and stopped at this Cafe along the way. This was a cool spot. It was very interesting to see the historic route 66, and all of the unique stores along this road. We loved the vibe of this café. Every meal has a roadkill twist to its name. The staff were friendly too. We came for breakfast / brunch, so we tried these types of food from here. We ordered the chicken fried steak, hungry man breakfast, and biscuits with gravy. Everything tasted great. We definitely get large portions of food here. No complaints from us lol. The chicken fried steak was crispy, and had great flavors and seasoning. The perfect breakfast. The hungry man one the a cool mix to enjoy too. Loved the biscuits and gravy combination. Overall, a nice scenic cafe this was.

    Elk burger
    Amy T.

    Great cafe! A friend recommended trying the bison and elk burger. My husband and I accepted the challenge. The bison burger was definitely more Smokey flavor compared to the elk. Both were tender and juicy, medium rare is the way to go. They offered seasoned fries so I jumped on that opportunity. Food came out hot and delicious. Bartender was very responsive and friendly had some great laughs and conversations. I'm a sucker for banana cream pie and man did the roadkill cafe deliver. The pie slices are massive.

    I have to say I absolutely love this place. I have not stopped in a long time. But this was worth the stop. I was greeted my a young man named Aaron and being I was by myself he asked if I would prefer to sit in the saloon. Which sounded great and I sat at the bar. He mentioned they had a catfish special and that sounded great. I was greeted by a very nice gal named Lindsey who took my order and served me a cold Modelo as I waited for my food. We made conversation and another local sat near by and we talked some. My food arrived and was very tasty. I mean catfish in Seligman Arizona? How good could it be? Very good in fact. Perfectly cooked and the fries were very good as well. Some more locals came in and we had a fun time. Linsey is a great bartender. I highly recommend visiting her. I was on my way to the Ganado area of Arizona and had been driving all day from Northern Nevada. So this was a great stop. It very clean and welcoming.

    Dinner last night was awsome Breakfast this morning still awesome People are so nice

    On the road so we decide to stop and have dinner here. We were very impressed with the menu selections and overall decor inside. The staff was friendly and attentive, food good and souvenier shop inside is great. We wish we would of just split a dinner plate so we could try some of their pies and/or cakes, but unfortunately we were just too full. Overall, we had a very good experience and definately will stop again if we are passing through the area.

    Reuben with seasoned fries
    Ruth G.

    What an amazing meal. Well, technically it was two meals and a snack. We were passing through on RT 66 and this place looked like everything we wanted. The inside is fun and kitschy and bright and comfortable. We waited a few minutes to sit down and another few minutes to order, but once it was our turn the service was great. The menu has fun and silly names for what are pretty standard selections. I forgot the name of our appetizer but it was the quesadilla open-faced. Perfect and delicious. Our entrees were overwhelmingly large. The Reuben was good but the burger on texas toast with crunchy onions as a garnish was super memorable. The burger was thick and juicy...none of that smash burger stuff. The seasoned fries and Cole slaw were ok but the sandwiches more than made up for it. We brought home dessert to go with our leftovers, and wow. The carrot cake and the German chocolate cake are both clearly scratch made with high quality ingredients. It was not cheap but again, high quality food is worth the price. Do not hesitate.

    This is a must stop when on route 66 Arizona....Located on the seligman part of the route. This is (IMHO) the stereotypical roadside diner. Nice cozy small town hospitality with good comfort food at a fair price. inside is airconditioned and has a cowboy western theme (wooden tables and chairs and alot of western deco) We went with the roastbeef and it was big enough to split and it was very tasty....I am sure all their menu items are good home like cooking ..The staff was cool and friendly......This is a must visit place because of the experience....

    Passing thru on route 66 otw to grand canyon. Hungry. Found this roadside cafe. The name is interesting. Parking: plenty free spaces Restroom:2 individual restroom gender neutral restrooms There's 2 section you can dine in at, the saloon and regular dining area. We ordered: Club sandwich Chicken wrap Not bad, pretty fresh. They charge you convenience fee for using credit card. They also charge you $1.99 if you share. The guy that served us was very nice and friendly, unlike the lady.

The space still has that nice rustic charm with plenty of seating inside and outside on their nice patio. Ordering, however, has changed. Beers, cocktails, nonalcoholic beverages, cans to-go, and food is all ordered up at the bar. There was 1 lone employee working the bar; taking orders, pouring beers, mixing cocktails, and closing people out at the register. This was so incredibly inefficient, particularly on such a busy day. I stood in line 3 separate times (once to initially order two pints, a second time to order a flight of other beers we wanted to taste, and a final time to purchase two cans to-go and close out my tab); each time in line took between 15-25 minutes. The girl behind the bar was very friendly and she was working as quickly as possible while maintaining a relatively happy attitude, but boy did I feel bad for her. Management really messed this up; someone needed to step in and help. With such a big celebration in town that day, there needed to be a minimum of 3 employees manning the bar to take orders and get drinks. As for the beer itself, as usual it's just average. Great if you're looking for something cold to enjoy, but not memorable if you're a craft beer nerd. We went in knowing what the quality would be, but still wanted to try all the new beers since we hadn't been in a couple of years. We didn't eat while there, but in the past when we have, the food is good. The knock of two stars was simply for the horrible management of orders. I don't know when they decided to get rid of waiters and put all the pressure onto the bartender, but geez what an awful decision that was.

I ordered the Cobb salad and it was legitimately one of the best salads I've had on the road -- fresh, flavorful, generous portions, and just overall excellent. The food here is outstanding. Unfortunately we were on a tight schedule so I didn't get a chance to try any of their beers, which was a bummer. Next time I'm definitely making time for a pint or two. The atmosphere is great -- lively and welcoming with a nice brewery vibe. Just a heads-up: there's a railway very close by, so it can get pretty loud if you're sitting outside. It didn't bother me at all, but if you're there for good food and conversation, I'd recommend grabbing a table inside. Once you're indoors the noise shouldn't be an issue. Overall, fantastic spot with amazing food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you're passing through Flagstaff!

We dined outside on their large open patio, which had a relaxed and comfortable vibe, exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. I ordered the Caesar salad topped with chicken, fresh romaine, shaved Parmesan, crunchy croutons, and a solid dressing. Simple but well done and the portion was HUGE. For drinks, I had a Prickly Pear Margarita, which was refreshing and had just the right balance of sweet and tart. My sons ordered the Sud Soakers personal pan pizzas. My oldest got the Carnivore which came loaded with house sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and bacon. It was rich and hearty without being overwhelming. My youngest had the Margherita, which was light and fresh with house sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and sliced tomato. My husband ordered The Bichen Burger, which definitely lived up to its name; lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo, pepperjack cheese, grilled jalapeños, and their signature "bichen sauce." It had a nice kick and was packed with flavor. Overall, it was a perfect stop: great food, generous portions, fun menu, and a really nice outdoor setting. A great way to end the day before heading back to Las Vegas where we were staying.
