Route 66 Cafe

This place was the suggestion of my friend who I came into the city to see and catch up with and as hunger began to hit us she said lets take a short walk to the Café. I didn’t mind since I had never been there before and since she is Vegan she liked the options that she had in the place as opposed to others who didn’t have much.
The space was not crowded at the time and we sat nearby the bar on the right hand side as you would walk in. Our server was pleasant and checked in on our needs which were honestly simple for this visit. My friend ordered their Veggie Burger and loves how they do it (I did not sample to check if her opinion was sound however) and for me it was a Cuban style panini. I love a good Cuban sandwich when its made right and felt it would be interesting to have in a panini. The order came with french fries (served in a cup) along with some Russian dressing which I felt was odd and more of a Rueben sandwich thing but oh well. My sandwich was nicely sized but I did feel that it was a tad too dry. The Cuban had ham and sliced pork along with cheese and pickles and so it should have been like biting into sand. Still tasty I surmised that perhaps it was pressed too long.
I asked the server if this was usually this dry but she wasn’t aware and was alright with replacing it but I didn’t want to be that customer. The provided dressing worked fine at helping the sandwich be less dry. No drinks other than water this time as I had a full afternoon of to do still but I will def check this place out again if I am in the vicinity. You should too.
Oh yeah, there WAS WifI but despite trying to plug in the password it never worked and no one knew what was wrong — oh well. A minor issue. My Foodspotting would have to wait until I got home.

After walking up and down ninth avenue trying to find a place to alleviate both my craving for wings and a bar as well as being kid friendly, we happened upon Route 66. There is a kid menu, the margaritas are great, the service is fine, and the sports on the TV kept the kids occupied. We’ll definitely return!

What else can I say about this place, classy/​elegant/​laid-​back atmosphere with amazing food. My gf and I both stumbled upon this place before going out dancing. Both of us are super picky and peculiar and health addicts. Such a surprise, the food was beyond amazing at great prices with friendly staff. Definitely a place to go eat/​take-​out if you live around the area. Very impressed with both of our meals.

This place is awesome! The food, waitresses, owner, and décor were all on-​point. I came here with my bf & friend on a Saturday night before going out. The drinks were so good, especially my margarita made by waitress, Gabby :) And the food was even better: the chicken avocado salad (w/​shrimp instead) was delicious and so was the bison burger & grilled chicken/​veggies — super YUMMY! The entire staff was so welcoming & friendly — I’m still amazed! Highly recommend this place, not only for the food/​drinks, but the entire atmosphere was super cute & perfectly represented the «Route 66» theme.
It’s hard to find a place in this neighborhood that’s welcoming & of high quality with their food & staff for a reasonable price, but this place really steps it up. If you’re in the neighborhood, I highly recommend giving this place a try– you won’t regret it!
Thanks Route 66 Café for a terrific experience! :)

The food and service are great. It’s a great neighborhood go-​to place. BUT, they are single-​handedly producing more paper and plastic garbage than any other restaurant on earth! Today I ordered a simple egg salad sandwich on a roll with an ice tea to go. Here is what I got:
Egg salad sandwich in a PLASTIC CONTAINER
Napkins, plastic fork, straw, and a small plastic container of cole slaw in a PAPER BAG
Ice tea, with TIN FOIL wrapped around the top in another PAPER BAG
All of this was then put into another huge PLASTIC bag for me to take across the street!
They could have simply put the sandwich and cole slaw in a small paper bag and handed me the ice tea without any further wrapping. It is absolutely maddening that this happens every single time I get food. When I complained to the waitress and manager that they were creating so much waste, they looked at me like I had six heads.
It almost makes me want to stop eating there.

Stopped in here craving a yummy breakfast. I had a pretty normal b’fast: 2 eggs, bacon with pancakes (3). Juice comes with. Serving had 4 slices of perfectly cooked bacon. Yum. Hubby had the Sicilian omelet with toast. We both had coffee. Very satisfying. I thought the prices were ok for what we got.

Great service.
Average food, very pricy however.
We had California wraps, which were okay with plenty of chicken. The fries and coleslaw were good. The latte was good as well, and a decent size.
The service and décor are excellent. Plenty of room and there’s outdoor seating. The portions are decent as well, however the prices are really high.
They have $ 6 drinks between 6 PM and 10 PM as well, mimosas, beer, and margaritas, which are for the most part excellent.
All in all, I would come here once in a while to have a drink and dinner with a few friends.

Strolled in here for breakfast on this first day of spring. (Sure doesn’t feel like it though with all this fresh snow!) Route 66 is very American West road trip themed… the whole restaurant gives that typical diner in the middle of the desert feel. The menu reflects the same feeling with your classic burgers, fries, and milkshakes.
However I came in too early this morning for all of that. So I decided to get the Eggs Benedict instead. I also ordered a Pina Colada because why not, I wanna feel like I’m in the Caribbean.
There weren’t that many other patrons this early in the morning, so my food came out pretty fast. The eggs were perfectly poached, the whites nice and solid but the yolks were warm and runny. The Hollandaise sauce had a nice tangy quality to it, and it all came together with the ham and English muffin it was served on.
The Pina Colada had me day dreaming of crystal clear blue waters, palm trees, swimming with stingrays and dolphins before retiring to my hotel room by nightfall.
Definitely stop by Route 66 when you’re in the neighborhood.

Good food fast turn over time for orders Sangria to die for ! They gave a complimentary bowl of soup with our sandwich orders. Ordered chicken soulvaki it came with Greek salad and fries everything was so fresh and tasty!

We popped in on a chilly Presidents’ Day Monday night for dinner on a whim because we liked the look of the menu walking by, it has fun décor inside as well, very diner-​ish but cool. We sat at a high-​top table, but it’s a decent sized space with regular tables, booths, and a pretty cute bar as well.
I had the turkey club and added avocado, delish though the mayo came on the side which I didn’t love. The fries it came with were great though! Boyfriend got the fried chicken with cornbread & garlic mash, very tasty I must say. The food came out hot and service was good! I’d like to try it for lunch, it strikes me as more of a lunch/​brunch spot being that it’s a café and has an upscale diner feel. We shall see next time!

My wife and I ate here before a Broadway show. I was disappointed in my meal because they overcooked my steak. I ordered a Filet Minon medium-​rare and it came well done. I also didn’t enjoy the shiitake mushroom sauce or my sides of broccoli and mini potatoes. That’s why I am giving it 2 stars.
The waiter did try to make up for the overcooked steak by giving us a piece of cheesecake on the house which was nice. The cheesecake was huge and very good.
The atmosphere was nice. Memorabilia related to Route 66 were hanging on the walls and the bar was retro. The White Sangria was very good. It had strawberries in it.

Excellent food!
Grilled Shrimp was amazing.
Bottled craft beers and very good Morrito!

Terrible. Just really awful.
1. Food was lukewarm.
2. Food quality was poor.
3. Beer was flat.
4. Advertised good on Open Table they didn’t have.
I would give one star but the service was fairly efficient. And he was polite.
Don’t go. Really. Don’t.

Went here for breakfast, cool warm diner, cozy and comfy. Staff is friendly. Out waitress Indy was helpful and super friendly. There was a mishap with the order and Indy replaced a mistakenly served dish right away, no questions asked. Thank you for the pleasant customer’s experience.
Bathrooms are spacious and clean. Prices are moderate. Can recommend to feiends. Will come back

Wandering around the neighborhood looking for a decent place for lunch when I came across this place. It was about 1pm on a Saturday and they still had their brunch menu. I ordered a fabulous strawberry french toast and it came with coffee and orange juice. That french toast was fabulous!
I thought the service was good; the waiter took my order pretty quickly, I had my water and coffee pretty quickly, and the food came without much of a wait. I thought everything was excellent! I even saw them making smoothies at the bar.
I would definitely come back again.

The service was terrible here. I was waiting for a meeting and maybe there were 5 customers. The employee at the counter decided to eat rather then fill my glass with water. I wont be back

Great place, awesome food, and incredible ambiance. Come here every time I’m in town. Had a awesome waitress, love sitting outside and listening to the New York sounds. They have every type of food from Mexican, to seafood, to American, to pasta. And there desserts are awesome as well. Always enjoy it here. Love the bread while waiting and the candles on the tables. They really but extra effort into great customer service.

This was such a special place with a Southwest vibe when we last ate there about 9 or 10 years ago.
Sadly, it was just OK when we visited recently for breakfast. The service wasn’t bad but the food was not particularly tasty. Sure, it looked good and the portions were generous but the taste was rather bland. Even lots of salt did not rescue the avocado, mushroom and onions South west omelette. The pancakes were also rather pedestrian. It did not help that it took more than ½ hour to get our food and we had to bug our waitress to check on our order.
It’s a shame — it used to be a really great place.

Trip Report (July 25, 2015)
Arrived at the Route 66 Café approximately 1:30 on Saturday, July 25^th. Café is small so we had to wait for a table that would accommodate 3 adults.
Food was good, but the service was slow. When you needed a drink re-​fill you had to request one vs you server being aware that you were empty.
The café did have great French Fries!

My friend and I were looking for a place for dinner and drinks. We were drawn in because of their outdoor seating and happy hour specials.
It took 15 minutes to receive water and order drinks. After that initial annoyance, however, the servers were friendly and attentive. I ordered a medium burger that was cooked well done. The fries were hot, crispy, and really tasty.
Overall, an ok place for food and drinks.

Nahe Central-​Park und diversen Hotels. Gutes reichhaltiges Frühstück und auch abends zu empfehlen. Nette Bedienung.
