Come for the nostalgic atmosphere, friendly staff, and the incredible $11.99 9-scoop banana split.
If you’re looking for a 1950’s Route 66 diner experience in Albuquerque this is your place.
The banana split is probably the best deal in the U.S.A. — you get *9 scoops* (yes…nine!) of creamy and delicious ice cream with all the banana split fixings for $11.99 (as of December 2023). You can barely get a 2 scoop ice cream cone for that price at most ice cream parlors these days! It’s easily shareable between 4-6 people.
Food was pretty standard diner quality. We had the green chili burger and meatloaf. The onion rings, fried okra and fries were delicious.
You’ll have a great time 😁

I have been wanting to visit this place since I first saw a photo of their amazing Route 66 sign. The food and the warm welcome live up to the great first impression! I particularly enjoyed the green chile cheeseburger! And save room for ice cream and pie!

Loved the atmosphere! Lots of vintage decor. It use to be a route 66 gas station. As a Diner it looks and feels like you've stepped back in time. They give you plenty to eat......come hunger!

Coming from Germany, visiting this classic Route 66 diner is a must. The place has much nostalgia but preserves its originality and does not come across too much as a „tourist place“. Also, food is good and prices are 👍🏻.

Let’s be clear. This isnt rated 5 stars for the food. The food is good - it’s solid. Upper end Diner food. Perfect.
The rating is for the experience. Wonderful!
Pure nostalgia. And if you look close at the indoor pictures - the upper shelf there are hundreds of different Pez dispenser’s. Try to find that… anywhere.
I had the smash burger - see pic - he had the chicken fried steak - no pic- he devoured it too fast before i took pics.

This diner is a must see when following Route 66. It takes you back to the 50s. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you can order a Beyond Burger, which has no meat in it. I highly recommend any pie from here, especially the cherry pie with a scoop of ice cream.

Super cute place! We definitely enjoyed the diner atmosphere. Lana, our server, was very attentive and friendly. Food and desserts were AMAZING. We will definitely return and recommend to friends/family.

Lovely place to experience American cuisine. The atmosphere is one of the kind that brings back the 60s vibes, the vibes that you see on movies from diners. Service is amazing and quick. Must try if you're an International. The red and green chilli they have is also delicious with a mild kick in it.

Such a fun place. The staff was excellent. The food was very good and not beyond expectations. We really liked the interior decor. I hope we can land here again sometime.

Route 66 is a classic diner with amazing food! I love the style of the diner, the decor, and the options on the menu. The portion sizes are large enough for any appetite. Today they seemed to be having trouble with the A/C so it was kind of hot, but the staff are very nice and the food is amazing. I ordered the chicken fried steak with salad and potato salad, and the teeny weeny sundae. There is parking all around the building though it can be difficult to maneuver in the lot with a larger vehicle.
