What an excellent find! It’s overflowing with classic American memorabilia, and the bar area looks exactly like the old fashioned ice cream shop counters you’d see in old films. Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe pictures are everywhere, as are old license plates and street signs. They play “oldies” and each booth has speakers whose volume can be adjusted. Very awesome atmosphere, we liked the food and the staff was friendly and inviting.
What an unexpected awesome meal and an awesome place! This is the perfect spot for a slap of old-fashioned Americana. There’s tons of memorabilia inside this once-converted church, complete with a vintage gas station, and a train that is set up across the top of the restaurant. The bathrooms are also full of great decor, from framed yearbook photos and magazine covers inside the stalls, so large dresses tacked to the door. This is the perfect place to get a nice juicy burger and some fries, but since I was in Maine, I still opted for the classic lobster roll with a cup of lobster bisque. It was delicious, and what I needed since it was pouring rain outside! Good comfort food in a great environment. Perfect for kids since it’s colorful and plenty to look at, and the music is playing so the noise they make shouldn’t bother other diners. I’m glad we chose this place- it was tucked in the back of the street, so if we didn’t know we were going there from looking online at reviews, I might have missed it since it’s set so far back. They were able to accommodate us immediately without reservations, which was ideal since we were standing out in the rain looking for a dinner place!
Came in here to have some soup. The clam chowder was amazing and so was the French onion soup. We also tried the blueberry pie with ice cream and it was delicious. The service was very good as well
All the other restaurants in the area had a long wait for dinner...Route 66 was able to seat our family of 5 right away. I think since it is hidden, many people don't know about it. The food is fantastic! And the place is super cool...lots for kids to look at and do while waiting for food (which doesn't take long)
This is your classic throw back dinner tastefully littered with memorabilia that will remind Boomers of their youth.
We got there 25 minutes or so before closing. We hung around after the hostess assured us we were welcome to stay.
Our server was great. The food was tasty. If your into restaurants with a 50-60's throwback feel and standard American fare this will do splendid.
