    Reg. Hamburger, no veggies
    Darci Y.

    Came in based off reviews and we were not disappointed! Our server, Autumn, was amazing! She kept up with the orders and offered wonderful customer service. Everything she did, she did with a smile and kindness. Even when one of my kids accidentally spilled his drink, she was kind and caring about it. We ordered cheeseburgers, regular hamburger, short stack pancakes with a side egg, Jack Daniel's pork chop dinner, and French Dip sandwich. Everything was cooked perfectly! The hamburgers were flavorful and juicy. My oldest ate 2! [[HIGHLIGHT]]While inside is not very big, they were able to accommodate 6 of us at a booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend this quaint little gem on Route 66! We would definitely come again!

    We liked it, we have one very similar to it in San Diego. This one's on route 66. The food was good. Definitely a good breakfast place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of families there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We would go again if we have the chance.

    It's a greasy spoon. I almost turned around and walked out to be honest with you when I saw two people in red Trump hats. Wasn't sure what I got myself into, but went ahead and went in. Got a California club sandwich that was freaking amazing and had a server who was really nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sure they could clean up the place if they wanted to make it look a little better[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but the food was excellent especially the chef with a handlebar mustache. Thank you.

    Unassuming 50s-style diner with decent food. Portions are nicely sized and coffee is hot and made with freshly ground beans. I'm visiting Kingman, but I will say this is a "regulars" spot, where everybody knows your name. Old school booths make up a large portion of the restaurant and a HUGE counter seating also available. Staff is friendly and efficient. I support the mom and pops and this is a good one...off the beaten path but very accessible!

    Coming from Orange County, CA, I've eaten all kinds of food, but this restaurant is something else. We ordered the fries, steak, mushroom burger, and a root beer float. The staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely caring. We had some leftover eggs for the baby to go but forgot to take them with us. When we went back, they cooked two fresh eggs for us to take instead. Amazing food, amazing staff. This place is definitely going to be our go-to stop every time we pass by.

    2 HOT, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs

    TY Rutherford's for providing us with a GREAT first time experience on route 66! TY Yelpers for steering us the right way. We stopped in on our way from Vegas to the GC. After reading reviews I knew what to expect. Hearty food, reasonably priced, great service in a historic spot. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a friendly young man who offered us a seat & the bar or we were asked to wait just a few minutes for a booth. We opted to wait. This place was poppin! But as promised we were seated in less than 5 min. Our booth was clean and had everything we needed ie silverware w napkins and we were given menus by our host. The table had a colorful Route 66 logo on it. Very fitting and it jived well with the rest of the ol' school American diner decor. My hubby ordered the highly recommended Country Fried Steak breakfast and it was just as hearty, tasty and perfectly cooked as the reviews said it would be. I didn't have enough appetite for such a belly full so I had 2 scrambled eggs and coffee. My eggs were served hot as was my coffee. 2 VERY important musts for each am I right? The answer is Yes! Our server was incredibly busy BUT on it! Super friendly, zero mistakes and very accommodating. She was a sweetheart. All in all, this was a great experience and we would definitely stop in again on our way through Kingman.

    A philly cheese steak omelette was my order. Overall I rate Rutherford s 66 Diner a good four stars. My breakfast was good, prepared quickly, fun old school atmosphere, good prices and the waitresses were super friendly.

    Meatloaf was decent but sadly falls apart.

    The young girl with a lot of tattoos is quite the personality. Absolutely rude and acts entitled. I watched my food sit on the heat lamp area for quite a while and asked if I can at least get my kids food. It's truly unreal how customer service seems to be dying in these small establishments.

    Do they serve breakfast all day?

    Yes, I believe they do.

    Open Thanksgiving Day?

    Yes they are open Thanksgiving day, plus they give out free meals starting at 11am until they run out.

    Does this place have power outlets for laptop users?

    No. If there are plugs then it is a coincidence but they did not install extra plugs just for laptops

I ordered the Beer Battered Atlantic Cod basket with fries, and for $13.99, the cod was not only delicious and crispy, but the fries were just excellent with the fish as well.

There is not a single day where I have came in and it took more than 10 minutes to be seated and have my order taken. Everyone there is so friendly, and it really felt like the service was so good there, they were only serving me. That's just how fast it is. Inside is always great, too. Calico's has a large range of artworks, trinkets, and more. They showcase R66 stuff, too. The inside is never too hot or too cold, and it's all clean and comfortable with a massive space inside. In all, Calico's is not just a little place off the road. It's got excellent food, incredible service, and a welcoming environment. I do recommend for anybody looking for these things. Thank you!

I've thought about the hash brown casserole for years and looked forward to satisfying my hunger for the potato casserole. I was extremely disappointed when I saw the "casserole" come to the table. Shredded potatoes?? What the heck? The waitress confirmed the recipe had changed. They were dry and unappealing. The waitress saw the displeasure on my face and asked several times if I wanted to replace them. I declined. I was really looking forward to the potato casserole. The restaurant ambience was as remembered and the staff were all very nice and friendly. My son enjoyed his food as he had the 4 piece fried chicken dinner with three sides. Note the sides are much smaller as I remembered them to be. Mac n cheese was good but not the same. I guess costs and overhead are cutting into food quality. Sadly I won't be returning to any Cracker Barrel in any state, unless the original casserole recipe is brought back. But I'm one person and don't think the casserole will return.

The burger was huge. The patty was tender and juicy, but the onion rings and overly sweet barbecue sauce made it a bit too rich. I remember having a similar burger at Mr. Bartley's in Harvard Square, and I was also quite disappointed. This one was much better though, at least the patty was good. Philly Cheese Steak: My friend ordered this, and it wasn't as good as the Philadelphia original version. The beef was a bit tough, and there wasn't enough cheese. French Fries: Freshly fried fries. In the US, you can almost always get piping hot fries, so this was especially reassuring. Vanilla Oreo Shakes: The milkshakes are one of the restaurant's signature products, and I was very satisfied! Overall, it's smooth and creamy, sweet but not cloying, with a rich Oreo and vanilla flavor. But seriously, could you please use a bigger cup? Why use a separate cup to make it seem like a large portion? Caramel Sundae: My friend ordered this. It's made in a classic banana split style, with a rich caramel flavor.
