★★★★★ 5.0 Becky Jo · Nov 2025

We stopped in at the Old Route 66 Family Restaurant in Dwight, IL, and really enjoyed it. John ordered breakfast and everything came out hot and cooked just right. I had the chicken pizza roll and it was delicious. The whole place has a nostalgic feel that fits perfectly with Route 66. The decor is fun to look at and the atmosphere is relaxed. They also offer old-fashioned bottled sodas. We tried the root beer and the grape. They tasted good, but they were pricier than we expected and I probably wouldn’t buy them again. Overall, the food was great and the visit was worth the stop.

5 of us old guys today. Heads up front doors hard to open due to the negative air pressure in the vestibule. Large glasses of OJ. One of us drinks tea and the waitress brought him a little pitcher to allow him to refill. Place was quite not to many people this morning. Food was outstanding. The rye bread toast was much thicker than many other places. The portion sizes were large. I had the 66 skillet. I was very happy. The Decor is pretty cool and they have beer and wine.

We ordered patty melt and stuffed cabbage. The food was good and the service was friendly. It’s a great stop on the way to Chicago! They’re family friendly and I want to come back and try the baked chicken and a milk shake next time.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Fisher · Nov 2025

I love the Route 66 decor. Every surface is adorned with great memorabilia. We order lunch and it cake quickly and was delicious. The hot roll sandwiches were delicious. The service was friendly and quick. Their home made hot sauce is incredible. I bought a bottle to take home.

First time there, average prices, very friendly staff. Very retro 🚗 motif cool place. I had the special of the night, cod and it was cooked perfect, light breading, thick chucks of cod. Hubby got the gyro roll large portion and he said it was good too.
