    Cheese tots
    Kass H.

    Ate here on September 1, 2019 around noon. There isn't any signage to tell you you should go to the counter to order first, then have a seat, so I agree with a previous review; they need to update the space to make it more clear. I was lucky that I was with someone that had been here previously or else I would have been a little lost too. The service was good and the food was quick and hot. I got a grilled cheese and cheese tots. He tots were a little over cooked and with the cheese they stuck to the paper that lined the paper tray. The grilled cheese came with sliced hamburger pickles. I was in disbelief at first when my friend said I should really try the grilled cheese with the pickles. I put them on my grilled cheese and was pleasantly surprised. It was actually quite tasty! I think this place could use a face lift and a deep cleaning, but again, the food was hot, came out quick, and the service was good. They do cater mostly to the geriatric crowd, so there's a good chance you won't get a window seat when you come here. Go straight to the counter to order first, then seat yourself. They'll bring the food to you. You can also go to the little refrigerator area and pick whatever condiments you want yourself. I like they they keep them cold and the bottles are big. You can get as much as you want and you aren't charged extra. That was nice. There's also a bait and tackle shop attached to this restaurant. See my pics. As far as the restaurant, I'd eat here again if I was in the area.

    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.

Won't take long." Ten minutes later, we were drinking delicious coffee. Menu was eclectic. Prices very reasonable. Service (Jennifer) outstanding. R66M ordered off the senior menu. Sausage and cheddar omelet w a biscuit and hash browns. Very excellent. My omelet was perfect as well. And an English muffin is an equal choice to toast. And it was the first time I ever had an EM grilled. A new experience for me! Overall, a great stop. 5 star worthy!

Nothing looked at all old or crusty the way you have to expect some diners to be. There was good music on, and just loud enough to hear and not overpower a conversation. We were seated quickly, they wiped the table down for us- we were greeted and served promptly and nobody left us hanging very long. If our waitress was busy, someone else would come by and check on us. Everyone's food looked great and the orders came out correctly aside from asking for CRISPY hash browns. I had the eggs Benedict. A little overly preached on the eggs and the hollandaise sauce had a pretty sharp tang (people either use lemon or vinegar for that so it's obviously going to be PRESENT sometimes) but I've never met an egg or a potato I didn't like and I've had hollandaise a thousand times, no two are the same, so this not a complaint just info for the customers. All in all I'd definitely eat there again.
