"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."

"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."

"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!!"
