Cute place (not a lot of seating plenty of parking) but the food was soooo good. Breakfast special (1/2 order of Biscuit and gravy, 2 eggs, sausage) and chicken fried steak (biscuit (huge and soft!!), hashbrowns, eggs). All for an amazingly low price.

The price was quite reasonable. My eggs and steak were cooked perfectly. The steak was a cheap cut but that is reflected in the price. The meat did have an “old” taste to it but other than that everything was perfect. Fast service, good size portions.

Small, but big on flavor. All 3 of our meals were off-the-grill hot, and super flavorful.

I drive by this place all the time. It’s either packed or I don’t have enough time. But today I made it in and now I wish I had come in sooner. Quaint little diner with all kinds of comical signage on the walls and ceiling to read. The service was outstanding and the food was even better. Finally, somebody that knows how to cook hash browns correctly. I had the chicken fried steak breakfast with coffee and a biscuit. Very reasonably priced. Everything was perfect. Thank you very much. I will definitely be back.

What a neat little place. I had a cheese burger that was delicious. Real ground beef not frozen. The onion rings I had were great. Shelly and her waitress were so friendly. I think her waitresses name was Abby. She made sure I had everything I needed but didn’t pester me like some waitresses do. Anyway check it out you shouldn’t be disappointed. The decor is really neat to. I will definitely be back. I can’t wait to try the slinger.

While traveling on Route 66 from Chicago to Oklahoma City, we stopped here for breakfast. We had “The Stack” and it was the best meal of the entire trip. When we come back through Cuba, we will definitely stop here again. The decor was interesting and most of it has been donated from patrons passing through on return trips to show their appreciation of the service and great food.

The décor was an amazing dedication to the history of Route 66 and modern day comedy of social media. For example there’s a red and white sign next to the door frame; it looks like a parking sign. However, the phrase is something similar to “During fire make sure to exit the building before you post it to social media.” You will know what I mean when you go. The food is good but a bit salty. The waitress, who does an AMAZING job is friendly and very good.

Perfect “greasy spoon” diner. Authentic Route 66 vibes and decor. Food was really good and cooked well. Small-ish restaurant that was full of patrons. The server was fantastic, friendly, and knew the history of the property and its iterations. No frills food done right.

We had an amazing experience. Everything was EXCELLENT. The environment was very welcoming, the staff was friendly, the coffee was *great* and the food to die for. Zero complaints. This place is a MUST if you’re traveling along Route 66.
