    Your on Route 66 and feeling hungry? Stop in at Hi-Way Cafe. Lots of parking, great food and friendly service! It has a lot to take in with the memorabilia and it still has that old diner vibe. We are traveling Route 66 to California and this was one of the stops to get your passport stamped. Give them a try and pick up a frige magnet while you're there!!

    A beautiful morning for a drive. A quick spin on the Will Rogers Tpk. working our way between and around the heavy truck traffic and the annoying drivers that think the left-hand lane is for cruising. Then taking highway 69 N. at the Big Cabin Exit for the relaxing final miles. On the road side the cows graze in the pastures and redtail hawks are perched on the fences looking for breakfast. The Hi-Way Café is a quintessential Mother Road diner, decorated with iconic symbols of America's past. A must stop for the photo op and good food. Their menu is big, covering a little of everything. This ain't no Mexican restaurant, though. If you are a tourist stick with diner food: breakfast, a burger, something fried, or simply a cup of coffee and a big slice of fresh pie. For us a couple of eggs, crispy hash browns, crispy bacon, all cooked exactly as ordered. My wife added a big fluffy fresh biscuit with gravy and for me just the gravy. The gravy was instant; common. Very few diners make it from scratch. A few crumbles of country breakfast sausage for seasoning would have made it perfect. The coffee was good; our cups stayed full. Friendly service. Be sure to check out the car with all the stickers on it. Also, the old Jukebox. It is still filled with 45's; song titles that only your grandparents would remember!

    We eat here often for Breakfast and lunch but this was our first experience with steak night. It only happens on the first Saturday of each month from 4 to 8 or until they run out of steak. They have ribeyes or an 8 oz. Fillet. There were no negatives to the meal. Service, price, we ate in the garage so the atmosphere was fun. (Right next to the world record holding Rambler) Our steaks were cooked perfect. A real pro had to be on the open flame grill to have enough char but not too much, enough pink but not to much. We are planning on not missing any steak nights in the future.

    Official attempt Guinness world book of records for most stickers on a car.

It kind of reminds me what Shatto would be like, if they had plastic bottles and a few restaurants with shops. I think there's Braums throughout Oklahoma, and apparently in Missouri, as well as Kansas and Texas. Braums has their own dairy cows, which produces their milk for the shops. Inside the shops are places to eat, (compare it to Culver's), and they sell their products, plus other products. I'm tempted to try the butter, but I have no way of keeping it fresh at this time. I decided to eat in the restaurant itself. They have hamburgers, chile, hotdogs, chicken. They also have alot of ice cream combinations available. This location was as good as Culvers or Whataburger, but the service seemed slow. The cheeseburger was delicious. 1/3rd pound, plain with cheese. (It was a slice of Braum's cheddar cheese). They almost forgot the sundae. I thought they were doing a trick Culvers does, and brings me the sundae, mid sandwich. Not so, they just forgot, but I got my sundae mid sandwich. If I had a wau of keeping the ice cream frozen, I'd have gotten some, but I don't. Braum's ice cream is really good. For $6 I got a yummy 1/3rd pound cheeseburger, and a 1 scoop sundae-pecan caramel. Very good!!

There's a salad bar at night and a buffet on the weekends I think when there's enough staff for it. I came in wanted just to standard breakfast so I ordered some french toast and a side of bacon coffee. French toast was nicely done they bring out the powdered sugar so you can dust it yourself they have the sugar-free syrup and the bacon was really good nice thick three slices for three bucks not that. Lot of times when I'm coming through here I'm usually passing by because it's usually in the middle of my travels I'm usually not really stopping in here but this morning I decided I wanted to sit down breakfast.

    Strap them kids in, give 'em a little bit of vodka in a cherry coke, we're goin' to Oklahoma…read more.. This cool McDonald's location first came to my attention when I heard mention of it in the lyrics to the song Choctaw Bingo, by James McMurtry. That's the first line of the song I quoted above. It's a great song and references several spots up in the extreme northeast corner of Oklahoma, this McDonald's being the most famous. The lyrics mention "that big McDonalds, you know that one that's built up on that big old bridge across the Will Rogers turnpike..." Initially when heard the song I had no idea it was describing a real place. It sounded kinda far-fetched that someone built a McDonalds up on a bridge over a turnpike. When I learned that this McDonald's was a for real place, and at one time it was the largest McDonald's in the world, I knew I had to come here. My first visit was three years ago. It wasn't very busy that afternoon and I got a chance to speak with an Employee and her Manager, and they graciously shared with me their understanding of the history of the place. The title of largest McDonald's had slipped away long before they worked here. Summers fade and roses die. These days, in terms of size, this McDonald's is a mere shadow of its former self. It's quite underwhelming, actually. Especially if you climb the stairs as I did my first visit, thinking, wow, this place must be huge! Where its dining area once commanded the entire expanse of the Archway, the one time largest McDonald's now shares the space with a Subway. How humiliating; a freaking Subway. But whatever. What hasn't changed, and the reason I give this place Four Stars is the view from the dining room, poised directly over the Will Rogers Turnpike. I love watching traffic burning up the Turnpike while I'm having a snack. That's fun, and unique, and definitely worth checking out if you're anywhere in the vicinity. Like the song says: Strap those kids in give em a lil bit of Benadryl and a cherry coke, we're goin' to Oklahoma, we're gonna have us a time Mikey C says: We're gonna have us a time.

I've been to hundreds of McDonalds over the years and this one is just average. Maybe the building itself is big, but they're not the exclusive vendor here, sharing the food court with a regular Subway, and honestly you could call the McDonald's in the Atlanta airport a bigger building without stretching the truth. We were driving from Tulsa to Joplin when we pulled off, parked and walked in. It does sit above the highway, which gives you a slightly different view while you're working through a cheeseburger and fries, almost like you're hovering over the traffic. I ordered at the kiosk and the food took longer than usual, but it was prepared properly. They have the standard Coke fountain stocked with straws and napkins, but no ketchup dispenser. The burger was made to order so it was fresh, which helped. Food on the floor, a dirty table and a light crowd summed up the rest of the experience. No need to go out of your way for this one.
