“A family owned owned 50's diner on the historic route 66!”

Bobby socks, Poodle skirts; Black cows and Green rivers! The great atmosphere at our restaurant will instantly transform you back to the 50's. Our restaurant offers table side juke boxes, photo memorabilia of rock and roll stars, child and adult sized tables and booths, and check out our numerous photo opportunities. Dont you dare come through our restaurant without trying an order of our famous chilli cheese fries!!

Elvis lives at Polk-a-Dot on Route 66! Nice people, pretty good diner food with every possible picture of Elvis & Marilyn & more. Worth the short detour off Rte. 55.

Again we arrived too early for the food, but there are a bunch of photo-ops to be had with all the statues around the building

Fun place to stop! My kids loved it - they made a few selections on the jukebox and sat in kid size tables - they were in heaven! Shakes were so good!

Food was Fine - but the atmosphere was perfect for a Rt. 66 day with the kids. They loved taking photos with life size and giant Elvis statues and if you love the king you must visit the pink ladies room!!! If you love Marilyn you must visit the Men's room
