Breakfast is my favorite meal, and the diner is the perfect place to get that tummy filled.
I’ve been driving across the US for a month and stopping at any diner that is in the vicinity of my nights stay. Well this diner was not in my area but we were driving past it about an hour up the road. And it was well worth the house drive.
Kix on 66 is a piece of historic RT 66 nostalgia. With everything in the diner giving you a place back in time. Even the counter chairs are from the 50’s it seems.
We came in around 10:30 and the place had a few tables full and a few locals at the bar. While we were waiting for our order to come out, a few local law enforcement came in to eat. Now you know that if the local law officers eat there, it’s got to be good.
I ordered the French Toast platter with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon, and it came out to perfect, the table also had the “Running Burrito” again it was delicious.
We also ordered 2 iced espresso drinks, which were large, cold and tasty.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We picked up a lapel pin that was their logo Kix66, they also have mugs and other RT66 souvenirs.
Driving historic RT66 / I40, take a breakfast break at this diner, you will feel right at home, and back in time. You’ll get your Kix on 66
I tried the coconut meringue but it was alright, for some reason I was expecting it to be more crunchy/harder like traditional baked meringue but I should’ve known better. Overall pretty cheap for a new yorker and definitely seems like authentic New Mexican style- esp with the atmosphere. Also some souvenirs you can buy at the store.
We ordered jalapeño omelet with chicken and Tucumcari mountain taters, everything was fresh and delicious!
Service was excellent and they got our food on table in 5-10 mins even though restaurant was busy.
Taste: Slightly better than plain, not overly flavorful
Service: Staff was uber friendly and attentive
Atmosphere: Small town diner that is Route 66 themed and has a great view of the historic road
Value: the price for the portion size you get was a little disappointing but I still would recommend this place
Highlights:
• great view of Route 66 and good people watching
Would I come back? YES
Perfect for dinner if you are passing through and want to see a town not from I40
