According to Google search, this place was highly recommended, AND BOY WE’RE SO GLAD IT WAS!! From start to finish, everything was wonderful!! Erica was our waitress and a great one at that!! The salad bar…WOW!!! I could have stopped there..with so many options, my salad was a meal in itself! The appetizer was delish..( potato skins ) Before I could finish that, the Entre came out!! Whew!! No way could I eat all that!! The portions or NOT SLIM!! At this point… I’m stuffed and haven’t even started on the main meal!! ( country fried steak ) Let’s not even think of all those tempting desserts in the showcase!! With saying all that… we highly recommend this gem

Historic (and possibly oldest) restaurant on Route 66. Don’t need to say much more. The food was tasty, service was timely and cordial, atmosphere was warm and inviting. Very enjoyable dining experience.

Older building (original drug store soda fountain?) Elegant, white table cloth kinda place, wait staff with uniforms and ties. Open short hours, so watch the clock. And…. It’s right across the street from the Route 66 museum! Free admission too.

The Ariston Cafe is a stop you will repeat. History, great food, attentive service and clean, comfortable surroundings all combine for a wonderful dining experience. Homemade soups, large high quality salad bar and an extensive menu (including prime house-made desserts) await your palate and sure to please your palate! The staff was well trained and attentive. It is plain that the ownership takes pride in providing a well above average dining experience. The food was clearly homemade, served hot and seasoned properly. A Route 66 gem. Not to be missed. If you are just passing by on I-55, this is well worth the minor detour for a great meal. Well done to the staff & ownership at ‘The Ariston Cafe’, KUDOS!!!

JoJo was our server and she was the best server I’ve had in years! She’s enough to go back again but the food was also very good. The place was clean, friendly, the salad bar was fresh and clean. The desserts were wonderful. Over all definitely a pleasant surprise while traveling. Highly recommend

They’ve been around so long they must be good! Down to earth menu with lots of comfort food and a great Route 66 atmosphere. Sit at the counter and you may end up meeting people from all over the world on their cross country tour of the US. Deserts are incredibly good and probably fattening!
