One little deli can sell 700 to 800 sandwiches on a busy summer day. That number alone made me sit up straight. The menu runs from #00 to #18, with fractions mixed in. Yes, there’s a #6 3/4, and it’s a real sandwich with roasted turkey, fresh mozzarella, and pesto.

16 Best Iconic Roadside Restaurants Along Route 66 That Are Worth A Stop

Burgers, breakfast, and fried goodies often spring to mind when we think of iconic, retro American restaurants. Diners, barbecue joints, drive-ins, ice cream parlors, they're all here on U.S. Route 66, America's most iconic highway for a roadtrip. Known fondly as "The Mother Road," which celebrates its centennial in 2026, the highway currently stretches 2,238 miles between Chicago and Santa Monica, although many realignments throughout the 20th century accommodated new interstates and other changes, shortening the route from its original 2,448 miles. Today, some stretches double as interstate highways, while older parts of Historic Route 66 continue to pass through small towns. Along the way, eateries continue to cater to hungry tourists and truckers.
