Friendly staff and absolutely delicious food!! We have been twice as we travel from Missouri to New Mexico. We will definitely be making it a point to stop on our travels!! 100 % recommend!

We recently had a celebratory dinner at the U Drop Inn Cafe during a Route 66 Road Trip. Lianne and the staff were very friendly, the food and service were great. Lianne & and Teresa went above and beyond for us to make it a special dinner. Loved being there to see the neon light up at night too! Thanks for keeping this landmark going and serving great meals!

My brother and I stopped in the café on 12/20 on our road trip. We had a lovely chat with the owner for a while while enjoying our meals (brisket and meatloaf sandwiches). Great place to take a walk back in time to old Route 66. If you like to support small businesses you should stop in on your way through Shamrock TX.
