A deeply moving experience. This is an extremely impressive place with a lot to see. Very warm and welcoming staff also. It was a cool place to stop off at on our Route 66 trip.
El Rancho Grande is a Route 66 staple since 1953. The Night Hawk dish is the most popular. The neon sign is an absolute classic.
I find it interesting and odd that Red Oak II is barely mentioned anywhere. We could find very little info and we only came here on the recommendation from George at Gary’s Gay Parita. We’re thrilled we came. We were the only people there, though we crossed paths with a perplexed older gentleman as we left. He also couldn’t believe that this place was utterly deserted. Wonderful photo ops. Be sure to leave a donation as the place is immaculate.
Cuba, MO is worth stopping off and having a look. The murals are interesting and there is some local history. When we stopped it was late in the afternoon and stores were closed. It definitely would have been more interesting earlier.
Definitely good for a pop in. The diner was great, don’t miss it. The fudge from the candy shop was a winner too and made it back to Australia. Wish I stocked up a little more. Good photo ops too.
Highly recommended for a clean and cost-efficient stay. This has been lovingly looked-after and has excellent Google reviews too. The owner really looks after this place and they have great Route 66 murals too. Perfectly located directly across from Delgadillos Snow Cap Drive-In. Check it out
A great welcome centre for 66’ers. It was lovely chatting and though I’m not much of a museum guy, I enjoyed the artefacts and curios. It’s exactly opposite Ariston, and Jubelts Bakery (since 1922!) who bake everything on the spot. Three great locations in one spot.
We called up late on a Sunday evening and spoke with the inn-keeper, Tony. He was very welcoming and very informative. He gave us some Route 66 DVDs to watch for the evening as he heard we were staring out on our journey to the west.
The property itself is incredible. Built in the mid 1800’s or thereabouts, Tony puts so much love and effort into maintenance. The furniture and decor is just perfect. Highly recommended.
We stopped by and spoke with George, who was super polite and helpful and very friendly. He let us wander and take some pictures of course and gave us info. He recommended some nearby attractions too. I recommend anyone to stop by and support this location. Oct. 2019
