How to Spend 3 Days Traveling Route 66 in Missouri

"Shelly’s Route 66 Café delivered authentic diner vibes with amazing biscuits and gravy and reliable diner coffee, and the tiny, Route 66–themed interior made me feel like I was in on a local secret." - Matthew Kepnes

Great place in Cuba. Quaint and delicious. Showed up on maps so I was able to find it. I know there are places like this that don't show up- so I do this to help other small places show up as well. I had a grilled cheese and creamy potato soup. Large portion of soup, loaded with bacon, potatoes, cheese, and it was yummy. The toasted cheese was buttery and tasted like I make at home. Very good. I took half home as well. $9.99 special so 2 meals for $5 each- nice.

A regular small town road side cafe, but seemed to have big impact in the community. Nice ambience. Nice decor. Felt like back in the days cafe (as seen in Hollywood wild wild west movies).

The burger I’d have to say was a lot better than a famous one that’s close by. I get a cup of chili every place I go, and this was hands down one of the best. The best fried pickles I’ve ever had also. The service was fantastic and the customers were friendly. It’s a great little diner on a stretch of America’s Mother Road.

Always stop in when passing thru during my travels. Locals fill the place, and are very welcoming. Quick service from Shelly, I ordered the Stack, which was very good and filling.

The décor was an amazing dedication to the history of Route 66 and modern day comedy of social media. For example there's a red and white sign next to the door frame; it looks like a parking sign. However, the phrase is something similar to "During fire make sure to exit the building before you post it to social media." You will know what I mean when you go. The food is good but a bit salty. The waitress, who does an AMAZING job is friendly and very good.

While traveling on Route 66 from Chicago to Oklahoma City, we stopped here for breakfast. We had "The Stack" and it was the best meal of the entire trip. When we come back through Cuba, we will definitely stop here again. The decor was interesting and most of it has been donated from patrons passing through on return trips to show their appreciation of the service and great food.
