This place was a random stop and it was fantastic. I had a ham, cheese and mushroom omelet that was very delicious and the eggs were fluffy. The coffee was excellent too. Definitely coming back the next time I’m in Springfield.

I really don’t recommend this place. The wait time is an hour and the service is terrible. When I placed my order and spoke to the manager, she started yelling aggressively. She bullied all the other customers and their wait times. I regret ordering from such rude people. The wait is very long and they only accept cash. The atmosphere is aggressive; it’s not for families. The manager seems to be the owner’s daughter and lacks manners. The place isn’t even clean.

Small, 50s style diner with basic breakfast foods—eggs, pancakes, grits, hash—with a lot of different meat choices! The staff is always super friendly and food comes out quickly.
I always get grits and eggs along with a new kind of meat, their hot beef and kielbasa always are A+. Pancakes are fluffy, eggs are runny, coffee is hot!
It is cash only, but there is an ATM on site. There are also little jukeboxes to have music with your fifth cup of coffee!
There is limited seating, so large parties over 4 or 5 would need to go at the bar or be split up in between booths.

Route 66 Diner is a classic, retro-style spot serving hearty American comfort food. The menu features delicious burgers, fries, and breakfast favorites. The atmosphere is fun and nostalgic, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Perfect for a casual meal with family or friends, offering a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience.

The food is good fresh diner food. Five star or two star is more about what you choose off the menu. I wrote my review after having a simple egg sandwich. It was fresh, the coffee is good, and the service is great. If you have bad service you may need to ask how you presented yourself. If you want to be pampered and fawned over when you eat out either be under the age of 10 or don’t go to any diner.

Having traveled around the country, I’ve eaten all over the place, but there’s no place like home! So glad to have my local diner down the street. The food and service are great, and it makes me feel like I’m a kid again, eating out with my family. Just plan to wait for seating. It gets pretty busy, especially in the late morning time. Regardless, nothing but love for Route 66 Diner!!

Great little spot for simple breakfast fare. Portions are good and prices reasonable. The menu is small, so it’s easy to pick out what you want without wasting too much time. Service is friendly and quick. Food hot and yummy. The atmosphere is great, it’s and old style cart with old jukeboxes at each table and confined seating, which is it’s only downside. I will definitely be visiting here again. Oh yeah the grits are great!

This place is surely a hidden treasure. The food was exceptional and the waitress was very friendly and informative. She was positively correct in recommending the turkey bacon – crispy and delectable. And, the grits were amongst the best I’ve ever eaten.

While in the area working today, I found this nostalgic looking diner and made a last-minute decision to give them a call and order a breakfast sandwich. It almost didn’t happen because I had a limited amount of time available, but the gentleman I spoke with made it happen for me. He was a nice guy and very accommodating. The woman that greeted me when I walked in was great too. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a hard roll. It was a little bit greasy, but not bad. The only knock on the experience/place was the pricing. $8.00 for a sandwich is definitely on the high side. Actually, I have never paid so much for one of these anywhere, ever. Good news is I no longer feel bad about the places I’ve gone to that charged me just over $5.00 for a breakfast sandwich…
The place was very busy.
Fair warning, they are cash only, but there is an ATM here, so it’s not too bad. I did notice a couple of other customers were not happy about this.
They have juke boxes at the tables, which is cool. assuming they are functional.
