    15:50 and there's fresh coffee!

    Great place if you are expecting a small diner experience. That's exactly what they offer, it's what they do. They play the part of a small diner, it doesn't feel authentic, but they did a good job of looking like one. The food is on par. Nothing special, nothing to write home about. The burger is what you'd expect, the fries are diner fries, the club is something you'd expect from a place that serves burgers,fries, onion rings, chicken strip. I can't really comment on specifics, I've only been twice, but have no bad things to say about it. If it helps, I'll be going back when I'm driving down 44 again.

    This is such a cute little restaurant. I love the juke restaurant atmosphere. Definitely gives early 1950's vibes. Service was great. And the tables stayed clean and clear once a family left. No dirty dishes or food were left on tables. It gives the appearance that the restaurant is clean and presentable. The food was delicious. Everyone in my family enjoyed their plates. I ordered a BLT. They were not being greedy with the bacon! My son ordered a burger and it was huge! He said it was juicy and the Fries were crispy too! Thank you for being open on Thanksgiving Day. My son graduated bootcamp the day before and we had no plans for dinner the next day. We aren't from the area and didn't have a kitchen to cook a big dinner. So this was very much appreciated! We will be visiting again soon!

    Route 66 Diner in St. Robert, MO, offers a classic diner experience, but it's showing its age. The atmosphere is nostalgic, but the interior could benefit from some updates. Despite the slightly worn appearance, my server was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the Tenderloin dinner with mashed potatoes and corn. The tenderloin was hand-breaded and served with country gravy, which was a bit unexpected as I hadn't read the menu description closely. While the gravy wasn't bad, it wasn't my preference. The mashed potatoes seemed homemade but were a bit dry. Overall, the meal was decent but not particularly memorable.

    Burger and slaw.

    A fun meal stop just off the highway. Architecturally, it mimics the old steel train cars that made the original breakfast-all-day and American comfort meal eateries. The menu here continues that, too. Our burger was a juicy third-pounder. A roast beef sandwich was made with excellent rye bread and came with homemade potato chips. Both meals were delivered quickly with efficient service for a busy holiday lunch stop.

    I went to the Route 66 Diner for dinner and had a wonderful experience! There were almost no cars in the parking lot so I was a little skeptical at first, but this diner did not disappoint. The diner takes you back to the 50s with all the interior decorations and music. The waitress I had was lovely and checked on me throughout my meal. I had the Route 66 Burger with fries. Although it was nothing to write home about, it was seasoned well and cooked to my liking. Just a classic American burger. This diner, however, I would say is more a go to for the vibe, and less about the food.

    Fun old time diner atmosphere just outside Fort Leonard Wood in Saint Roberts, MO. You can rely on typical diner faire made just like it was in the 60s. Good stop before heading over to the fort to see your son or daughter graduate from Army Boot Camp.

    Dirty floor

    The food was ok at best The service was slow and not very friendly The place needs a good deep cleaning.

    Sometimes you walk into a place and can tell right away they've got their act together. That was…read morethe case at Colton's Steak House, where we were seated almost the second we walked in--no waiting, no table shuffle, and the booth was already clean enough to pass muster with the pickiest mother‑in‑law. Before I could even get my glasses out of the case, our waitress--who also doubled as the bartender--was standing by, ready to take the order. Lucky for her, we already knew what we wanted. Drinks landed fast, followed by salads with the right dressing (a small victory in this world), and the steaks showed up before I'd even made a dent in the seat cushion. Mine came out just right--good sear, the right touch of smoke--and that baked potato was the soft, fluffy sort that needs nothing but a little butter and guilt. Our server managed that perfect balance: always nearby when we needed something, never hovering like a drone at dinner. All told, Colton's makes it easy to sit back, enjoy a properly cooked steak, and feel like you're being taken care of by folks who actually enjoy what they do. I'll be back.

Although we didn't receive any bread, it was still a great experience. I ordered the Montana burger with pepper jack cheese. Normally, I'm not a fan of pickles, but these were so good!

The food comes very quick considering it's fried chicken. Prices are so low! I had chicken and waffles with a side of Cole slaw. That was only 8.99. I normally pay $15 or more for less food. The chicken was delicious and you get two nice, hot waffles. You have a choice between tenders or bone in chicken with the waffles. My husband had both fried chicken and a bowl. He is super picky about fried chicken and gave it full approval. I will have a bowl next time because it was fantastic. And the biscuit is crazy good. They play music videos - great eclectic mix. Kind of a dive bar feel, but in the best way. If you are on I-44 by St Robert/Ft Leonard Wood it's worth the five minutes off the interstate it takes to get here.
