Looking for suggestions of your favorite things to see along Route 66 (or side trips off Route 66). Taking it from Chicago to Needles, then hitting Zion, Arches on our way back home.
If you want a real treat, stop at the Golden Light Cafe & Cantina at 2906 SW 6th Ave, Amarillo, TX. It is the oldest CONTINUOUSLY operating restaurant on Route 66. Prices are cheap and the grill is seasoned with 72 year old grease. The burgers are juicy and thick and the fries have just the right amount of grease that an old dive on Route 66 should have. Naturally they serve beer to go with your meal. :B
