Falcon Restaurant & Lounge

A Route 66 restaurant. This place is a little out dated. But so are many places on the Route. Food was your typical American/​Mexican. Nothing great, nothing bad. If you are in a hurry and sick of fast food this place will do. Maybe one day I will give it another try maybe?

The server was very friendly and attentive and everything I could ever hope for in a waitress. The food however, was a different story. Maybe it’s my fault for ordering tacos at an American Diner, but I got a cheeseburger in a taco shell. In all fairness, it would have been passable if they used taco seasoning. Overall, I’d give it another chance, cause the cheeseburger was pretty good. Probably should stick with American food here.

Most unexpected surprise, to have breakfast at Falcons! Portions were huge, kept me going until dinner that evening. Place is old, not run down, but clean yet «worn,» which gives it it’s charm. Prices were great, food was excellent, service fantastic. Really liked this joint! Again, unexpected suprise in Winslow. I would certianly come here again if in the area. Huevos Ranchero was a complete winner.

Our party of 4 stopped not knowing we would find a jewel of a restaurant. We had various Mexican specialties and they were excellent! We saw that they had pies, 3 out of 4 of us ordered the apple pie — I abstained, I’m very fussy about apple pie, my mom made the best apple pie. I tasted my husband’s piece and had him order a whole pie to go! Tastes just like my mom made. We live in Phoenix and travel for apple pie!
9÷19÷15 Just came back from Winslow, we had lunch (good) but we really don’t go for lunch, we go for apple pie, the place must have been taken over by new owners, and they didn’t keep the original pie maker! This pie has bad crust, looks like canned apples and no taste whatsoever. My first review was if a pie we had 2 ½ years ago. Don’t bother going, not for the apple pie.

I came here for the old-​fashioned Route 66 American food. Their signature country fried steak, smothered in white gravy, filled that bill. Thus it met my expectations in food and décor. My wife had a Mexican dish and didn’t like it at all.

Cute 1950s diner with great Mexican food and friendly service. Totally worth driving a few extra miles off I-​40. Try the salsa!

Service was great but the food wasn’t anything to write home about nor good enough to ever want to come back. Keep driving or go somewhere else.

Have never had a bad meal here and service has always been good. The chicken fired steak special is one of the best. One of my favorite local places to go!

Breakfast was great. Food was fresh and tasty. Nothing fancy just good comfort food. Place is old and funky, a locals place but such a nice change from highway chain restaurants.

I feel that I am actually being generous with my two-​star rating. The times that I have eaten in this restaurant, the food was just not that great. It was more bland than anything, and my hamburger was a little pink in the middle, which I do not prefer. A friend also found a cockroach on his plate of food, which is obviously disgusting and unacceptable. I refuse to eat here anymore. The bar is okay, but I’m not a drinker, so it’s a bit irrelevant to me.

We arrived in Winslow late, and hungry. The proprietor at our motel suggested a few places for a post 8pm meal and Falcon was the only one still open other than chain restaurants and we generally avoid those.
Anyway, the Falcon was a very pleasant surprise. Great service and great food. Hubby had the Thursday special, beef tips gravy with lots of carrots served over grits. He said it was very good. I picked even better. I had the Mechacci. YUM! Fork Tender, well-​spiced choice beef served with homemade refrained beans and rice and tortillas. I had enough food for four people and hubby took most of mine back to our in room fridge at the Delta and enjoyed it for breakfast.
If we travel through Winslow again, well definitely stop at the Falcon. You should, too.
^^^^^^^ We have been back. Several times. and we’ve tried several other menu options and everything is good. EVERYTHING. Plus, the portions are gigantic!
Did I mention their pies? OMG their PIES!
The best part about the Falcon though, is the people who work their. All genuine and kind and funny and efficient. Honestly. I’m a Midwesterner, so I’m kind of big on genuine and kind.
I love the Falcon. They treat me and my hubby like regulars and we’ve only been there four or five times. Heck — I’m tempted to retire near Winslow just so I can BE a regular.
We love you Falcon. We do!

Waited almost 45 minutes on a portion of buffalo-​wings and a grilled cheese. When it came out it tasted really strange and was cold. We told the server and she didn’t seem to care. We paid, didn’t leave her a tip and left the place. Maybe we were just a bit biased because we were travelling route 66 and we met the most wonderfull people to walk the earth there but this place was not my kind of thing. We also didn’t like the gun policy in this place, people were laying their guns on the table like it was their baseballcap.

Very good family owned Resturant. Everytime we drove by, they were packed with locals, so stopped in and ate, all very good fresh ingredients.

The people were great and the food was totally fine. It’s one of the places where you know it’s all locals eating in there and that made it even better. VERY friendly people all around.

great dinner special fish basket with all the triming and under 9 bucks huge food cantina style FRESH Guacomole! great service
Chimi was deep fried perfectly with lots of green chili and cheese refried beans fresh and moist. tasted very authentic like you get in San Diego.
We will be back.

There isn’t much to cho

It’s hard to write an unbiased review for a restaurant after eating at the La Posada’s Turquoise room, but there’s not much to choose from in Winslow, and eating at the Turquoise room will break your bank account if you eat all of your meals there. However, the food here at the Falcon was pretty good.
This is a late arrival on the Route 66 scene (it opened in 1957) so you need to remember that when you come inside. It’s an old family diner, and there are local patrons who are probably stuck to the same seats every day. Décor is non-​existent, so don’t look for that.
Our server was friendly, and didn’t give me that scowl when I asked for decaf coffee, knowing that she’d need to brew a fresh pot. Food was hot, plentiful, and filling. It took quite a while to get our meal (almost 20 minutes for our party of 4), but when we got it, it was fresh and hot. I have to admit, their pureed pinto beans, which was a side dish, was outstanding.
Good food and lots of it. Just don’t sit on one of the locals’ favorite seats.
