A nostalgic Route 66 stop, but the food didn't quite match the atmosphere…read more Our Route 66 adventure eventually led us to Lucille's Roadhouse in Clinton. I'll admit, I may have built this place up a little too much in my mind. The Route 66 nostalgia is absolutely outstanding. From the vintage gas pumps outside to the classic diner décor inside, it's a fun place to visit if you're traveling the Mother Road. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we were seated immediately. Our server, Arisa, was friendly, welcoming, and kept our drinks filled throughout the meal. One funny moment--I thought this was one of the Oklahoma Passport stamp locations, but it turns out I had confused it with the original Lucille's in Weatherford. Since Weatherford was on our return trip, I eventually got my passport stamped there instead! As many of you know, one of my personal quests is finding the ultimate Chicken Fried Steak, so that's what I ordered with corn and coleslaw. It certainly wasn't bad...it just wasn't memorable. The steak was tender enough, but the breading and gravy didn't have the flavor I was hoping for. It's not something I'd order again. The coleslaw was an even bigger disappointment. The flavor was simply off, and after a couple of bites I pushed it aside. I also tried the blue lemonade because it looked fun and refreshing. Unfortunately, it had almost no flavor. I'm normally a 95% water drinker, but every now and then I'll treat myself to lemonade or a soda. This one just wasn't worth finishing. Arisa happily exchanged it without hesitation, and I appreciated her taking care of it so quickly. My wife definitely won lunch. She ordered the catfish with fries and mac & cheese. The catfish was crispy, flaky, and delicious. The fries were cooked just the way we like them, and even I'll admit the mac & cheese was better than most restaurant versions I've tried. She even shared a catfish fillet and more fries than I probably needed! Overall, I'd give Lucille's Roadhouse 3 stars. The food was a mixed bag, but the nostalgia, spotless restaurant, friendly service, and fun Route 66 atmosphere made it a worthwhile stop. I'd certainly come back--but next time I'd order something different. My only real complaint beyond the meal was finding the restaurant. The GPS directions were surprisingly confusing, and getting there was far more difficult than it should have been. If you're traveling Route 66, Lucille's is still worth a stop for the experience alone. Just know that, at least on this visit, the atmosphere outshined my lunch. Chef T's Scorecard * Food: 3/5 * Service: 5/5 (Thank you, Arisa!) * Atmosphere: 5/5 * Value: 4/5 * Overall: I do think this is one of those places that deserves a second chance. Next visit, I'd skip the Chicken Fried Steak and blue lemonade and give one of their burgers, barbecue, or another house specialty a try.

I got the Tuesday special, pot roast with a salad as my side, and my co-worker got the chicken fried steak with a salad and fried okra. Salads came out really quick and were good. The main entrees came out pretty quick as well. They were served hot. Unfortunately I got the last bit of the pot toast so it was pretty much just the roast. It had a wonderful flavor! Without me asking, the manager offered me another bowl of soup to offset not having more pot roast. I got the hamburger vegetable stew. It was not as good as the pot roast, but still had a good flavor. My co-worker enjoyed his meal as well. The ambiance is that of a diner/restaurant mix, but very casual. If I'm ever in the area again I'll be back!!

We sat at a table that had another couple and it was so fun to talk to locals. While we were there it was really busy but the owner (Brandi if I recall right) had a great attitude and did her best to get to us quickly. Hubby had the chicken fried steak and it was amazing. Also love the onion rings. All our food was delicious, so I can see why it's busy.

My husband and I visited this restaurant in late April, 2024. We've been traveling cross-country…read moreand, on that particular day, we were dodging tornado warnings as we travelled from Arkansas to Elk City. We stopped at this restaurant for dinner. Based on the menu (burgers, pizza, and the like) and the restaurant's ambiance, we were expecting fast food. However, our selections were cooked fresh-to-order (which took a bit long to arrive) and were a cut above typical fast food. I ordered a mushroom-and-Swiss burger with all the fixings and deep-fried cheese curls (mostly to find out what they are!), while my husband got a pulled pork sandwich and fries. Both meals were very tasty. We REALLY also wanted some of their creamy frozen custard but we were too full. Not to worry, we got it to go & put it in our RV's mini-freezer. This was truly a special treat for us later on. Excellent Butter Pecan! We didn't have any kids with us but they had adorable car-shaped containers for their kid's meals. We also appreciated the friendly locals who were very friendly with us. Breaking weather warnings were on the screen of the television in the restaurant -- but we had no clue where the affected areas were in relation to where we were in Elk City. They reassured us that we were out of the danger zone for tornadoes but that we might experience high winds. For any Harvest Host RVers out there, 66 ToGo is a participating host. The sites are level and plentiful, and the host was quick to confirm our reservation.

I had a hamburger, my buddy had the chicken sandwich. Both were good. The best thing was the French fries. Been a long time since I've had fries that were once called "shoe-lace fries."
