Russell's Route 66 Cafe is a historic truck stop now operated by TA, offering a unique dining experience along with a well-loved museum. The menu has been updated with a country pride selection, and there are decent Mexican food options, including the machaca dish made with high-quality pot roast and served with fresh green chile sauce. The atmosphere remains friendly and welcoming, with servers who are always kind and helpful. Customers often enjoy the free museum, which features a great collection of cars, antiques, Hollywood memorabilia, and Route 66 items, making it a perfect spot for a break from the road. The cafe is also known for its clean bathrooms and large parking lot for trucks. Visitors appreciate the expanded facilities, the variety of merchandise available, and the overall friendly environment. Many travelers say it’s a local landmark that provides everything needed for a comfortable stop, including a chapel, laundry, TV room, and gift shop. The food, especially dishes like meatloaf and chicken, is highly praised, along with the attentive service that makes the visit memorable.
