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.

Interesting choice, my team of 5 decided on Chatters as the place we'll have lunch. I was…read moreintrigued because of the menu. We started out with two appetizers, Fried Ravioli & Popcorn Shrimp Basket. To be honest the Fried Ravioli wasn't worth ordering. Pretty much flavorless! The menu read stuffed with cheese & jalapenos. I don't think either existed in the ravioli. Had great potential but just didn't deliver. The Popcorn Shrimp was a step up and we're actually pretty good. The dipping sauce was rather strange - it seemed to be a spicy teriyaki which was okay just not a dipping sauce I expected. Maybe a choice of sauces would be a better option. Four of the 5 choose burgers and I think everyone truly enjoyed their choice. I chose the KC Special - pastrami burnt ends, w/two 1/4 lb burgers with cheese and a side of Freedom Fries. Two others chose the Heavenly Bacon and the last picked the Mushroom Burger. I think it's fair to say everyone enjoyed their burger. The lone dissenter felt the need to be on the healthier side and he went with the salmon. He described it as dry and over cooked. Luckily he choose the French Onion soup as a starter and he said it was one of the best soups he's had! Another one in the group also ordered the same and he said it was delicious. I'm mad at myself for not ordering because that is one of my favorites and can't believe I actually passed on it! Our server was GG and she was very pleasant and she was good at checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay. We enjoyed her waiting on us for our lunch meal. If we ever make our way to Pittsburg again I think I would definitely try this place again and look at trying other items on the menu!

It has a covered gazebo with a sectional sofa, dinning table and two more chairs to lounge on. They also have a large gas grill in excellent condition. It was so nice because we did not have to take anything out, which made departure day a lot smoother. At your request they will bring you margaritas after 5:00 PM. The resort sits in a lake which makes it convenient for those who have boats. We were going to stay two nights, but ended up staying three nights. They do have two restaurants and bar you can enjoy if you don't feel like cooking. Hours vary, but the packet you receive has all the information you need. It is gated which makes it feel safe. Will definitely be back.

Everything ranging from their rib-eye and sauted mushrooms to their chicken strips and fries, the food is prepared with care and attention to detail. I have eaten there every time I pass through Erie, and every time I am delighted to find out the place has remained mostly the same. With minor modifications, it still has that same feel of a small town restaurant with friendly staff and kind owners. Nicole and her husband are very charismatic, conversations with them are very organic and spontaneous. They are very charismatic people. On a side note, I purchased a very nice set of coffee mugs at Horizons. It was made by a local potter. It is very nice to see the owner collaborating with local artists to encourage networking and cooperation among small local businesses.
