    When you come in, order pie first! The owner, Brenda, is very friendly and treats you like family. There are so many things to see in and out of the restaurant. Even if you live close, it's well worth a trip here!

    Huge burgers! We stopped by this Route 66 themed cafe located at the midpoint of Route 66 between Chicago IL and Santa Monica CA. We were seated right away, there were only a few people in the restaurant. Our server took our order, we all ordered burgers. It took a while for the food to come out, but it was worth the wait. The burgers were large and juicy. I had the Route 66 which is a double burger with 2/3 lb of meat. I did not walk away Hungry. There is a nice souvenir store attached with really good prices on Route 66 apparel and trinkets. The owner was great and talked to us a lot during our visit. The place is quite dated with really small restrooms however, We would recommend you check it out if you are in the area.

    We stopped for dessert and the hostess was delightful to chat with while on our Route 66 journey. The pie looked and tasted delicious. I had the Tennessee whiskey, pecan chocolate pie and it was so flavorful. My husband had the chocolate cream pie. The crust was flakey and light. Loved it!

    Stopped by here en route west to Phoenix in February and liked it so well we stopped again en route back east. Their burgers are excellent and the woman who owns it - and her staff - are extra nice. Great gift shop, too.

    We were driving Route 66 west and planned to eat here, but of course they were closed. Ten weeks later, on our return trip, we made a point to stop here. Were we glad! Great service, and good home cooking. The gift shop had any Route 66 kitsch you could want!

    Coffee!!

    Brenda, owner, was amazing and welcoming as we passed through on the way to AZ. The cafe is so nostalgic, clean and fun. Anita cooked a delicious breakfast and Janice kept the coffee coming. We were first ones there on a lightly rainy morning. If your near Adrian, TX, would definitely recommend!!!

    Such a wonderful burger with great friendly service. Don't sleep on this place! Homemade desserts too!

    Located right on the midpoint line for Route 66, the cafe itself is cute, with plenty of vintage memorabilia. I trust that the other reviewers who stated the food is good are correct. I will never know because I never got to enjoy it. Stopped by the cafe mid-morning. There were plenty of open tables. They may have been short on staff, but only 5 tables were being occupied. The large party of 5 and another party in the corner booth left while I was waiting. I stood around for an uncomfortable amount of time, with waitresses walking past me without making eye contact or acknowledging me. Finally, one of them did and told me to sit wherever I'd like, and made some remark about there only being 2 of them but they'd be happy to serve me and my friend. I was still cheerful at the time and the unfriendly tone caught me off guard. We picked a booth - this booth and 3 other tables were unoccupied but hadn't been cleaned just yet. Once again sat there for some time with no one acknowledging us. We then watched one of the waitresses clean up an unoccupied table, while we sat at our booth full of dirty dishes. After she was done, she came back out and started tending to another unoccupied table. By then we had been waiting for about a half hour, I'm not sure why they would choose to clean tables where no one is sitting instead of a table with customers waiting. We ended up leaving without being acknowledged. It was a waste of time and a terrible experience.

    Stopped here and don't regret it. It was very nostalgic and amazing to be here at the midpoint point. We had coffee to go and looked around the souvenir shop. We purchased a few Route 66 items and went next door to the old gas station where we signed the car.

    OVERALL Roadside diner lovers definitely have to put this Adrian, TX, spot on their bucket list. RATING BREAKDOWN | Food: 4 | Service: 4.5 | Environment: 4 | Price: 3 | PARKING There is sufficient parking in front or on the sides of the Midpoint Cafe building. LOCATION/AMBIANCE Old skull 50 diners vibes. The Midpoint sign were Route 66 is smack in the middle between Chicago and Los Angeles is just across the street. There was a separate men's and women's restrooms. When are you done with your meal, peruse the gift shop connected to the dining area. THE GRUB My daughter is and I shared a plate and a world famous ugly pie on 10/8/2022. It was more than enough food between the three of us. + Midpoint Burger - "Double patty 2/3-pound fresh Angus burger served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard, mayo and ketchup. ($11.50). Add cheese $.50, green chile or jalapeño $1.00, snd/or bacon $2.00. Cooked medium. Served with your choice of individual sized bagged chips which they will bring a basket filed with an assortment of options to the table before your burger is served. Both of my girls chose Funyuns. Lol. + Chocolate peanut "Ugly" pie. It was a huge slice. It was OK. You may pay for any gift shop items and your meal at the register when you're done. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's menu. The portions are huge so I recommend sharing a plate with a child. SERVICE A little slow at first, but all of the staff members were nice and hustled to get our order out. MY FAVORITE PART... The old school diner vibes. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The prices! I also wished that they served breakfast all day long.

    Hours and location as of Nov 2022.

    If you want to experience true hospitality, you have to stop here. Check or call to see if they are open before making the special stop. If you are lucky and can stop by when they are open - just walk on in and they will let you take all the pictures you want. Be sure to buy some souvenirs, a Mexican coke cola, get some food, and get some pie before continuing on Route 66. What to eat? Ask the servers for their recommendations. The BLT and the bologna sandwiches are the best. These are high quality bologna (look & tastes more like good ham). Just stop and chat with the lovely people who work here - I promise they will make you day! Just be sure to call ahead and come when they are open!

    What's so ugly about this Ugly Crust Pie?!

    Pulled pork and grilled cheese sandwiches were great, but the Elvis Ugly Pie was amazing! Chocolate creme with peanut butter and banana.

    They are only serving pies and drinks. No food. The shop and cafe were adorable to look at but we left hungry.

I was choosing a souvenir t shirt to buy. She stormed off, to the cash register, & I heard her grumbling about messing up the t-shirts, and saying "I have to fold every goddamn t-shirt!" She snarled at me, & said she tried to help me, but I wouldn't listen, & she didn't appreciate me "messing up" her t-shirts. I only looked at 2 of them, and she acted like I ransacked the whole table. I told her that I'm a customer, & she shouldn't talk this way to me, & that I'm not buying anything due to her bad attitude. So, it's definitely not a "welcome" center. These towns along Rt. 66, get visitors from all over the world, especially now, with the 100 year anniversary. The Rt. 66 Welcome center could improve by having someone who is pleasant, and helpful, to provide information about Tucumcari, so travelers can plan their time there. So, skip this place, if you're looking for souvenirs. Some of the restaurants (like Del's) and the vintage motels have gift items that they sell. Or, try the Curio shop across the street.

I bought myself a Route 66 beanie for $10 to add to my ever growing collection of hats. No restroom available unfortunately, but we did find one down the road. Would definitely recommend stopping by for a driving break and a cute gift, for yourself or someone else.
