Route 66, America?s Highway, ran 2, 448 miles, through three time zones and eight states, from Chicago to Los Angeles. Today, Route 66 has but vanished, either renamed (Albuquerque?s Central Avenue), or reduced to dusty frontage roads on the side of Interstates. The disappearance of the old road has stirred a sense of what Route 66 meant and still means to many Americans. The 66 Diner is dedicated to preserving the spirit of the roadside diner along Route 66. Our recipes come from Mom and Dad, brothers, sisters, friends and neighbors (except for Ernie?s liver and onion recipe?which he forced on us). Our food is always fresh and always the absolute best we can offer. If you have a tastier recipe, bring it in and let us try it! If we decide we like yours better, we?ll but it on the menu (we?re not proud) and we?ll treat you and three of your friends to dinner. Our food, service and d?cor are all a very special part of the homage we pay to the vanishing part of America?s history?Route 66.

The staff is very friendly and will customise anything you order. They still use real powdered malt, instead of the tasteless malt syrup.

One day I went into 66 Diner with the intention of, in my own words, 'eating light' (my appetite was much more voracious back then). I ordered a root beer float and an 'appetizer' of chili cheese fries. All dreams of a light lunch obliterated, I ended up so full the trek back down to TVI was truly tortuous, and the leftover fries I stuffed in my bag produced conspicuous smells in my sociology class. Even so, the experience ranks as one of my favorites: I remember looking with moist eyes and a stunned brain upon that exceptional float, as tall as a toddler and all but filled with ice cream, topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, more 50s than the 50s itself, utterly gorgeous and irresistible. The fries, which came later, were no less enthralling-a huge (wasn't this supposed to be an appetizer?) plate of crisp golden-brown fries smothered in Texas chili that lived up to all the expectations a Missouri-raised girl with a Southern-fried mother could expect to have, and topped with wonderfully bright orange cheese. It was over a year and a half ago and I can still remember the taste of it. In short, I love this place. It doesn't just recall the Route 66 diners it aspires to emulate, it recreates them, and lives up to the fine traditions of American roadside diner food.

This is a fun place for a night out with friends, family, or even dates. The food is awesome and their milkshakes are unbeatable! They have so many flavors to choose from! The dcor is modeled after a fifties diner. There is a jukebox, waitresses in poodle skirts, and great oldies music! It's a very fun and one-of-a-kind place to grab a burger and shake!

I have eaten there several times. The food is O.K. The place is clean. The help could use some training and it isn't a 5 star restraunt.
