    I made a quick detour off I-40 at Exit 66 to visit the iconic Cafe 66, just five minutes from the…read morehighway and impossible to miss. From the outside, the branding leans heavily into the Route 66 identity--logos are everywhere, setting the expectation for a nostalgic roadside dining experience. Stepping inside, however, the atmosphere takes a different direction. Rather than embracing classic Americana, the décor feels modern, highlighted by whimsical cow artwork adorned with flower crowns. It's charming in its own way, but not the vintage Route 66 ambiance I was expecting. One thing that deserves high praise is the cleanliness. The café is immaculate, from the dining room to the overall presentation, reflecting a team that clearly takes pride in maintaining the restaurant. The food, unfortunately, was less memorable. The oatmeal was overly thick and dry, lacking the creamy comfort you'd expect. Buttered toast carried an off flavor, suggesting the griddle or butter station could use a refresh. The signature pancake, dusted with a powdered sugar "66" logo, was visually appealing and easily the meal's most Instagram-worthy item, but it too was disappointingly dense. Where Cafe 66 truly shines is its service. Every staff member I encountered was warm, welcoming, and eager to help first-time visitors feel at home. Their hospitality left the strongest impression of the visit. In my opinion, Cafe 66 seems to be transitioning away from being a destination built on Route 66 nostalgia and toward becoming a dependable neighborhood café for the Clinton community. There's nothing wrong with that--in fact, it's probably the more sustainable business model. But travelers seeking an authentic trip back in time may leave feeling that the iconic branding promises more nostalgia than the dining experience ultimately delivers.

    I came here for delicious food, left absolutely annoyed…read more When we walked in a girl did instantly come to us which is good, brought us to our table and before I even got the chance to sat down she asked "What drink today? Water, Orange Juice?-" I said do you have lemonade and she said no, okay that's fine but she said it in the possible most oddest way ever. After that interaction and I got my drink, she left; nother person came and asked what we would like to eat (this was 10 minutes after our drink) , I then said I would have a side salad and mac n cheese. My mom across from me said she has friend chicken, after we gave our order we then waited 30 MINUTES...for a SALAD. Thing is I didn't mind but when I tried it, it really did taste like grass and incredibly earthy and odd and that's when I wasn't exactly happy when I waited for a extra earthy salad... My mac n cheese came, it was delicious!!!!! 15 minutes after this, my moms food came and she said it was really good too. See we loved our food besides the extra earthy salad and almost 45ish minute wait time. On the other hand, when waiting we noticed our server and multiple others would get served before us and get asked how the food was, but not us though and that genuinely had me curious and ruined the whole experience. I love the conversations and the communication like as e.g. "How is the food?" , "How are yall doing today?", these are good things; it did not happen though and we got bluntly ignored. If you work in any restaurant jobs, please have good communication with your customers.

    This is my favorite spot! Unfortunately I always come in closer to closing because of my work…read moreschedule. The manager LEVI is heaven sent! If I owned an establishment I'd pray to have someone like LEVI running it. Today when Levi brought the food out I insisted I sit outside because I didn't want to be in the way of them closing. Levi said oh no it's too hot you're fine. Thank you Levi! I've tried the bacon and egg waffle i usually get it deconstructed meaning it isn't wrapped in the waffle. 10/10 today I tried the hot chicken waffle super delicious jam packed with flavor. The coleslaw helps cut the hotness of the chicken. It isn't too spicy, expect a kick! 10/10. The green smoothie is always refreshing not too sweet taste super clean another 10/10 The ambience is always on point music playing no rii loud easy to chat and talk over! To the entire staff thank you so much! A shout out to the chefs as I order they are always looking at the cashier getting a head start before I even pay! Kudos to you all

    the amount of food that comes for $15 was fantastic. everything was fried well and nothing was too…read moresweet. the chicken and waffles sandwich was bangin and the fried leeks were good. that strawberry matcha smoothie........... please get it, great addition but get a water too cuz washing down food with a smoothie is an obvious struggle. good food, good smoothie. try it out. the workers were all kind and it's in a nice area too, lotta tvs if you wana watch sports while you eat
