Our story

Our Journey Started in 2014

Since 2014, we've been serving the flavors that our community fell in love with — from our signature hot dogs to our famous Italian-style sauce. What started as a small local concept quickly became a favorite destination for great food, authentic taste, and consistent quality. More than a decade later, we decided to take the next step and expand the Route 66 Grill experience. While we've grown, one thing has never changed: the recipes, flavors, and quality that made people love us from the very beginning.

What folks say

"The grilled chicken and toum are unreal, and they're somehow open when I get off the night shift. This is my new 3 AM spot."

"Ouzi that tastes like my grandmother's, then a smash burger an hour later. Where else does that even happen?"

Marcus K.
Yelp

"Wings are crispy, the fries with garlic sauce are dangerous, and the staff treat you like a regular on night one. Diner vibes, top tier."
