Route 66 Diner OCMD

Route 66 Diner OCMD provides excellent food and service in a simple, no frills environment.

The restaurant seating isn't comfortable, let me get that out of the way first. The table seats have thin padding and the booths are wooden. You won't come here for a luxurious experience, however, you will truly have a tasty meal with really great service.

Our server, Nico, was fabulous. She was a sweetheart, engaged in polite conversation and checked on us often. Top notch service and we'd gladly dine in her section again!

For $53 (without tip included), we had a soft drink, mozzarella sticks, beyond burger with cheese and topped with egg and French fries added (additional charges), and the chicken parmesan sammy topped with egg and French fries added (again, additional charges). Very fair costs for the entire meal and generous portions.

Everything was delicious and cooked very well! The fries were crispy, the beyond patty was excellent and eggs were the perfect addition.

The restaurant is wheelchair and stroller accessible. Restrooms weren't the cleanest or nicest, but they were alright. Again, this is a no frills diner but the food and service are absolutely amazing.

The place is reminiscent of the old school roadhouses found while doing long hauls across country. No frills and what you see is what you get. Cool vibe with a jukebox and old fashioned cash register embellishing the joint. The food was pretty good... get mostly fried stuff - the wings were tasty and spicy, jalapeño poppers (cream cheese) were good, mozzarella sticks were on par. The Pizza Dip was really delicious with its garlic bread... the Bacon Cheeseburger was pretty decent as well, but the fries were perfect. Crispy and flavorful (for fries). Def a solid choice in a pinch. Recommended.

I visited the Route 66 Diner in the off-season, so it may not be representative. While the menu is a typical “diner” combination breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and a few entrees, you won’t find the typical huge menu like most diners. Service was attentive but the temperature in the dining room was chilly. All food in OC is all overpriced, but these folks are a bit less than some. I had the grilled cheese and French onion soup and it was very good - I couldn’t even eat all of the cheese! This is a perfectly serviceable choice for “regular” food in OC
