The Roadkill Cafe/O.K. Saloon

It was already known as a local favorite, so we went with high expectations — and it was still incredibly satisfying. Even the bread that came out first was absolutely delicious. The white chicken chili soup, the ribs, and the burger were all outstanding. Finding a place like this made our trip to the Grand Canyon even more enjoyable.

⭐ Historic Route 66 Icon on I-40. A Must-Stop for Food, Coffee & Americana in Arizona The Roadkill Cafe / O.K. Saloon is one of those legendary Route 66 stops that never gets old and we’ve visited several times while driving from California to Arizona on I-40. Every stop has been consistently fun, memorable, and satisfying. First things first: parking is easy and free, with a wide lot that’s perfect for road trippers, RVs, and anyone just stretching their legs after a long drive. Inside, the atmosphere is pure Route 66 Americana authentic, well preserved and full of character. From the décor to the mounted memorabilia and historic signs, the place feels like a living museum that still serves great food. The coffee is solid, and the burgers are excellent. If you’re feeling adventurous, the “Toad Off the Road” Elk Burger is a standout flavorful, juicy, and surprisingly well balanced. Classic burgers are also done right, and the desserts are outstanding, making this a perfect stop whether you want a full meal or just a sweet break. Cleanliness matters on the road, and this place delivers: restrooms are clean and well-maintained, which is always appreciated when traveling. There’s also a large gift shop packed with cool souvenirs, Route 66 memorabilia, and fun finds you won’t see at typical tourist stops. Overall, this is not just a restaurant it’s a true Route 66 experience. Authentic, welcoming and consistently enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone driving I-40 or exploring historic Route 66 in Arizona.

We ate here today on a road trip and it was excellent. This was honestly the best burger I have had in years. The seasoning was perfect. It was juicy. The bun was really good as well. The fries were also really good and seasoned perfectly. If you are road tripping down route 66 I would highly recommend stopping here.

I found this little cafe on my way back from Vegas and was impressed with the menu options and affordable prices!! I had never tried buffalo before so I had the Tire Tread Buff (the Buffalo Burger). Wow!! The flavor was wonderful and was cooked to order alongside my choice of French fries or Cole slaw (I choose the French fries). Yum!! There's a cute little gift shop located inside where you can look around while waiting for your food to buy souvenirs. The waitress was very attentive and the cooks were on-point!! Check out this little cafe if your ever in the area or passing thru and searching for a nice place to eat with great food options!

Fun theme, lots of goodies to look at. Went when it was busy in the restaurant, moderate in the large bar area. They seemed to have enough wait staff, but they were overly busy, taking too long to take orders. Food seemed slow to come out of the kitchen. Speaking of food - despite the name, none of the food is anything unusual, not even deer. Food quality was mediocre at best - mostly stuff from frozen food service providers. We were disappointed. At least one other customer complained about his fries being cold. I knew ordering fish n chips was a risk, but there are much better frozen fillets available at Sams and Costco. My fries were probably the best thing on my plate. Companion got rib tips. Bland despite the BBQ sauce, a bit dry, not that much meat. Mashed potatoes were also bland and seemed like instant. Cole slaw was very bland. Prices were a bit high, but I world have been OK with the prices if the quality had been better. If traveling through with young kids, so and find out if the theme makrs them laugh or cry. No kids; stop only if you want to hang out in the bar to socialize.

5 star service! Fun, friendly, quirky menu and atmosphere. Slices of pie the size of your head. I had the blt with avocado on RAISINbread. So good it didn't even require mayo. Also enjoyed the roadkill mai tai.

A delightful fever dream of the Wild West Walking into the Roadkill Café / O.K. Saloon felt like stepping into a parallel-universe Arizona where taxidermy, chaos, and pure eccentricity have formed an unholy alliance. The décor is a glorious disaster: every wall crammed with objects that absolutely shouldn’t coexist, yet somehow scream, “Yes, I’m here. No, I won’t explain myself.” And honestly? I loved every second. Now, the service… let’s just say the staff do the bare minimum required to appear friendly and helpful—and it’s honestly part of the charm. They give you the vibe of seasoned saloon keepers who will serve you with a half-smile, as if they’re doing you a favor, but still make sure you don’t starve. Functional, mildly amused, slightly confused: the holy trinity of roadside hospitality. Food? Good enough to survive the desert. Atmosphere? Unforgettable fever dream. Overall? A place you visit once, laugh about forever, and secretly want to brag you survived. A must-stop for anyone who enjoys their Americana with a twist of madness.

Fun restaurant right on Route 66! Probably the best burgers and fries we had on our recent trip. Very friendly service, unique decor and great beer selection. Convenient walk from the Historic Route 66 Motel where we stayed for the night. Highly recommend!

Very friendly wait staff. Great souvenir gift shop. I was so excited because I found a bottle that had the dry ingredients to make a Chardonnay cake which I bought, and I cannot make in the near future. I also bought a zip up hoodie that had the vulture from old crows with the Route 66 emblem on it as well. The only thing I was disappointed with is I ordered hamburger steak and it was a little overcooked for my liking. But other than that, the service, the food, and atmosphere was absolutely great. I highly recommend stopping there to eat. OH!!!! AND don't forget to go visit the bar in the back next to the gift shop.

Passing thru on route 66 otw to grand canyon. Hungry. Found this roadside cafe. The name is interesting. Parking: plenty free spaces Restroom:2 individual restroom gender neutral restrooms There's 2 section you can dine in at, the saloon and regular dining area. We ordered: Club sandwich Chicken wrap Not bad, pretty fresh. They charge you convenience fee for using credit card. They also charge you $1.99 if you share. The guy that served us was very nice and friendly, unlike the lady.

This is a must stop when on route 66 Arizona....Located on the seligman part of the route. This is (IMHO) the stereotypical roadside diner. Nice cozy small town hospitality with good comfort food at a fair price. inside is airconditioned and has a cowboy western theme (wooden tables and chairs and alot of western deco) We went with the roastbeef and it was big enough to split and it was very tasty....I am sure all their menu items are good home like cooking ..The staff was cool and friendly......This is a must visit place because of the experience....

My husband I stopped here while on a tour with Laughlin Tours. Gotta admit walking in I was a little worried but then I quickly became intrigued by the uniqueness and charm of this spot located right on Route 66. The service was great and the food was just as you'd think a roadside Café should be. It was a unique experience and I'm glad we stopped by. I recommend it for anyone that is looking for something that is different and unique and on route 66 great photo opportunities, etc..

Route 66 must stop and eat spot! Great variety of burgers and sandwiches. Iconic location that offers great service!

Traveling through with friends and we usually go across the street but we've stopped here before and enjoyed the lunch from last year so we decided to try The Roadkill for breakfast. Great service and the food was pretty good and so was the coffee ( hard to get a good cup of coffee these days). The pies looked amazing but we were too full to try a slice. Next time!

Came here while on my bike ride through Arizona and it was bomb.com . Had the taco soup and some chips and salsa and all was great !!! Great vibes , tons of souvenirs and good service ! Total recommend

2 stars for the creativity of the cafe and the decor. The food and service were marginal. We ordered mini chimis and a French dip and probably the worst French dip we have ever had. The bun was very dry and hard, the French fries were dry and hard. The mini chimis were pretty good. However, it took forever to get our food and the drinks were even later and we had to ask for them.

This is a road trip vacation so stopping here was exactly what we wanted and being located on Route 66 plenty of souvenirs and a good leg stretch, you can't go wrong here

This place is AWESOME!! The food was DELICIOUS!! Kuto's to the cook, Mike Polo. Our server, Lindsey was super friendly, attrntive and efficient. If your driving I-40 between Williams and Kingman, make the stop in Silegman. It's totally worth it!!!

This was our main reason we decided to "get our kicks on Route 66." From the get-go we were in for a treat as we were seated and began the "roadtrip" thru the menu. I ordered the Hungry Man meal consisting of pancakes (light and heavy-fluffy), Home Fries (sturdy squares of filling goodness), scrambled eggs with cheese (scrambled somehow different, whipped-up with a combo of love, care and commitment). The bacon; also better tasting than usual...the sausage was good too. Jamie acted as the ringleader through our whole breakfast; staying up on our drinks and recommending for dessert the German Chocolate Cake and the Apple Pie A LA Mode (the best I've ever tasted). Roadkill Cafe is also chock-full of souvenirs for purchase and great picture opportunities, both inside and outside. The unisex bathrooms were clean and had baby-changing tables. Highly recommended!

I highly enjoyed eating here. The food was a bit expensive but tasted great. The alcohol was pretty good! The gift shop was nice. I got two teeny tiny shot glasses.

This was unfortunately a low point and a rare mistake on an otherwise fun Arizona vacation. My chum and I stopped over here on the way to Williams (basically a mini side trip up from Phoenix that went through Prescott - not recommended. Nothing over there and it's not worth it). I have a weakness for eccentric/weirdly named establishments, so I had my eye on this place for probably the wrong reasons, admittedly. I don't think there's a nice way to say this, but Seligman is pretty much a dump. I encountered quite a few Arizona locals in subsequent travels within the state, and ALL of them mentioned meth when describing it. This is not a place you intentionally go to visit; it's a place you stop at for a bathroom break or something on the way to or from Vegas or Los Angeles. We walked around for about 20 minutes after the meal, and it was stunning how rundown the residential houses on this touristy stretch of Route 66 are; literally 80% of them look condemned. Pretty bleak stuff. The interior décor of Roadkill is pretty much as advertised - it's A LOT of taxidermy. I didn't get the impression that the stuffed deer covering the walls had been killed on the road/in the line of duty, but that might be a pretty big ask. I thought it was a little weird how the staff went out of their way to brag that the owner of the establishment had killed all of the animals on the wall themselves (and there's an odd display by the bathroom with pictures of him beaming proudly next to corpses) but your mileage definitely might vary on that. It feels weird to say this, but both of us were disappointed that this place didn't actually have something at least mildly exotic on the menu, given its name. I was expecting a weird type of animal meat to sup on, but it's just normal food with roadkill-esque menu names. If I were them, I'd try to get rattlesnake or gator or something like that - you can literally get a hamburger anywhere. I opted for the buffalo burger, which was the edgiest entrée I could find. It was okay, though obviously a pre-made, frozen patty and on the greasier side. It came with steak fries, which were a little undercooked for me at least. On the positive side, we both thought everyone was incredibly nice and hospitable. We sat at the bar near the gift shop (pretty legit one for what it's worth, with a lot of variety in terms of the offerings - I bought a shirt for my father that I know he'll be wearing proudly), and the bartender was very pleasant. I was just drinking water, but the service was perfectly fine on all counts. I don't recall having to wait long for anything during our meal, and it was a chill enough vibe where we both separately wandered off the bar stools to look around and possibly pose next to dead moose while we waited for our food. I didn't know this until after my Arizona adventures, but Route 66 has touristy stuff pretty much all the way through the state. Based on what I saw, I would absolutely bypass this stretch of it and focus on Williams and Flagstaff - much better options as you travel east.

Stopped by while checking out the small town of Seligman and the food was good!! The service was excellent, was very pleasing and the food portions were good. The vibe inside makes you feel like you're eating back in time. You get early 1900's vibes.

I don't know how this place gets good reviews. We stopped and planned on eating, but the place was so dusty and greasy - we decided against it. Even the souvenirs felt a little gross.

Everything I've tried here is excellent, with generous portions. The wings are a huge hit with my family. Burgers are creative and tasty! Caesar salad is wonderful, as are the humongous pies for dessert. Looking forward to trying breakfast! Service was excellent each time we've visited, and it's worth buying their variety of hot sauces in the gift shop. Things to know; there can be a wait for food during busy hours, but it is worth it. My daughter ordered the kids pizza once, that is a mistake. Stick to the things they're good at, which is literally everything else.

Staff sucks, stayed outside. In the cold rather than waste my money. They do not talk to each other resulting misunderstandings.

Very good place, friendly staff and good food plus it's nice to see restaurants/cafe with such an old homeschool vibe !

This place is awesome. Food atmosphere are all Great The pies are huge. All homemade.. Delicious.

The atmosphere was awesome not to mention our food and our service fantastic would highly recommend this for anyone

Very friendly and accommodating staff, and a fun little tourist trap. I was in a hurry so I only got a coffee and a plate of French fries, and it only came out to six bucks. I was pretty shocked that I could eat anywhere for that cheap in 2024.

Continues to be a fun place to stop on the mother road. The food has generous portions. My kids love the fried fish - it's crunchy and the steak fries are good. My husband had a yummy, fresh and generous chef salad. I had bbq ribs which were Smokey and meaty, it came with a yummy little loaf of bread we all shared and a side salad that again was very fresh. Th ambiance and names of the food are fun. It was quiet when we arrived but got busy and had a great energy.

Stopped in at the roadkill café on my way to the Grand Canyon and it was the best decision we made. The food tasted amazing. It came out very quickly. The staff was attentive to our table and we didn't have to wait long to sit down. They do have a very large menu to choose from. This location is super cute because it does have a lot outside to entertain you after or before eating. When going to this location, you feel that you are stepping back in time and the names of the food are super cute. It just reminds you of the west. My family and I definitely enjoyed this place and would highly recommend it and will be going back next time We are in Arizona.

Came here on a quick weekend trip with my boyfriend and his parents who only speak French. I was super impressed with the staff here who actually spoke a little French. It was on Sunday afternoon on our way back to Vegas airport, we stopped by and one of the servers actually spoke a little French with my bfs parents. It was super nice and he was generally just very friendly and welcoming! This is also the birthplace of Route 66 so a really cool place to stop! ***LOCATION*** On historic Route 66 in this little part of town that looks like the city from Cars. It was very cute and highly recommend stoping by the area on your way to the Grand Canyon! ***ATMOSPHERE*** Cool vibe inside. They have a bar and restaurant. There's also a little gift souvenir shop. We were able to sit at the tables in the souvenir area, order, then shop a little while we waited for our food. We were in a rush to catch our flight and they got us in and out in 45 min and we were able to shop so that was nice! ***FOOD*** The food was good. I just got the chicken strips, they weren't the best I've ever had and tasted a little more like a frozen strip and not like a hand breaded one. The crust was flat and a little burnt almost but we were starved since we hadn't really eaten the night before as we spent it on the side of the road with a blown out tire lol. But they weren't bad just average. I think my bf and his dad enjoyed their Philly cheesesteaks! I think they prob have much better items. The chicken is prob more of a picky eater kid option they have but I wouldn't recommend it if you eat all meat, I think some of the red meat options were better :) the fries were hand cut and VERY good !! ***CONCLUSION*** Highly recommend stopping in for a drink or to grab food and pick up a few souvenirs. The area outside has a lot of photo open including an old jail cell and western town photo op. They have the Cars from Cars across the street!

Made a stop here going down Route 66 for a few drinks. The bartender and owner were very friendly. Many stories to tell behind each animal on the wall. Such a fun time!

Larry, the bartender, is the sweetest soul that's ever existed. He was soo friendly our whole visit, I would definitely come back to this place just to visit him. Thank you for everything Larry!!

Stopped by this place for a quick bite the night before hiking into Havasu Falls. Classic nostalgic diner vibes. Nothing fancy but does the job. They have a great homemade pie selection as well. I had the banana cream pie and it was so delicious.

Local hang out spot with homemade pies and hot sauce in the quiet little town of Seligman along the historic Hw66. They serve feel good American fare ranging from burgers to sandwiches to steak and potatoes. They have a little gift shop and a full bar. Definitely a must visit whe

Great food, friendly service and good atmosphere. A Route 66 must do in this town. Safe your appetite after driving that awful 40... The food was good and we had pie. Get the homemade pie! The waitress was super fun! She had quite sense of humor. The lady making the pies came out as well. A real gem of a place!

It was our first time eating at the Roadkill Cafe. Me and my hubby decided to go out for a ride and took the dirt road from Prescott. It was 1 hr and 1/2 not a bad drive at all and the day was beautiful. The scenery was beautiful lots of views of trees , dirt and paths of being so open out there. I think we only seen about 5 cars that obviously came down from highway 40 because there's not a lot houses out there a few Ranches but that's about it. We enjoy getting out and exploring. Anyway the food was good at the Roadkill Cafe I had the roast beef sandwich and homemade potato chips yummy. My hubby had the charbroil chicken sandwich and homemade potato chips. We were to full to even try their homemade Pie which looked delicious and huge I definitely recommend checking out the Roadkill Cafe and we will definitely be back.

Great atmosphere, good service, food servings are shareable. Food is fresh made in house. Great stop for lunch if traveling Rt. 66. Family friendly. NOTE: Only 1 public bathroom.

Wow! Oh wow! What a yummy spot! Stopped because we hadn't eaten all day and needed to stretch the legs. Great selection with options for practically any crowd, giant portions so come hungry or be prepared to be eating for days! Club sandwhich, the Reuben and house burger are delicious! Grab a souvenir from the little gift shop and take a look around the old territorial jail, an amazing experience only found along Route 66, we will be stopping again if we make it out that way!

Unique space. Really good bison burger. I have not tested the limits or even verified the "you kill it they grill it" policy. I can, however, affirm that what they grill is tasty.

Food was amazing. Fun place to stop. If you're ever in Seligman AZ on Route 66 it's just off I40

This cafe is striking in appearance. The name and names on the menu could cause a person to wonder the mental status of its owner. However, it seems to play well in a light hearted way. The interior was well kept and comfortable which is good. I ordered a breakfast burrito. I was very glad my seat was comfortable, because after waiting 15 minutes, I began to wonder if one of the buzzards had attacked the cook. I can't rate the food because I left before it ever arrived. I simply walked across the street to LIlos Westside Cafe. They served up a great breakfast burrito in quick time with a friendly smile.

After a long journey, we were not only tired, but also hungry. This place was near our hotel, and I couldn't wait to eat something delicious. We tried beer, chicken and ribs, and I don't know how someone can decide that it's tasty. The gravy tasted like glue. It had too much flour, and nothing else. I couldn't finish my meal. The ribs weren't tasty at all. It's sad because the place is interesting and the staff is also nice. There aren't many places to eat in the area, so it would be great if they paid attention to the quality of the food here.

I am confused about claims which state this is "basic diner food" -- what kind of basic diner have you gone to that has elk burgers, crab cakes, clams (just to name a few)? Sure, Road Kill offers basic diner menu items, but no one said you have to get them. I came here en route to see Havasu Falls, and both my father and I found our food and the ambiance highly satisfactory. My elk burger was very tasty, and I do not recall what my pops had but I know he enjoyed it. Fun and interesting spot to stop at for a break and a nice bite to eat!

Service was pretty good, elk burger (19.95) was terrible, maybe it WAS roadkill after all.

An interesting place to stop. Halfway between Flagstaff and Vegas, this tourist stop is worth the visit. The restaurant is also a gift shop and museum and outside there is a mock western town. I loved the decor and the people who worked here. What I was unhappy with is that the food is hit or miss. My son had ribs and really enjoyed the plate. I had the bbq steak sandwich and thought the sauce too sweet and the bread to bready.

5 stars for the name being accurate, 1 star for the food. Nothing sounded good so I made the dangerous decision to order a bean and cheese burrito with fries - dumb, I know. That night, there was indeed trouble in river city. After feeling a disturbance while watching No Country for Old Men, our Lord and Savior called me to the restroom where knelt before the porcelain throne and called for dinosaurs. I couldn't figure out what came over me but my best guess is that I consumed beans that were kept in a WWII bomb shelter. The do sell beer and tshirts and stuff so if that's your thing, there you go.

Amazing Buffalo Burger! Friendly staff and great mounts to check out! I recommend stopping for lunch!

Stopped in for breakfast on our way from Laughlin to Jerome it's about 1/2 way. The biscuits and gravy were absolutely amazing! To do it again I would get a bigger order!!! We added it instead of toast. The biscuits and gravy are homemade and the biscuits are the perfect crispy so they don't get soggy!!! Food was great and the restaurant is adorable with a little gift store in the back. Worth the stop.

The roadkill cafe was recommended as a stop on our AZ road trip. It was worth a stop for the photos but not the food. We ordered Bison burgers and a kids pizza. The pizza was one of those microwaveable ones that you buy at Costco in a multipack. We should have opted for a kids burger but he really wanted pizza. Our mistake. The bison burger was thin and over cooked and the fries were soggy. The service was slow, what we thought would be a quick stop turned into 2 hours. On the plus side the staff - while understaffed - was very friendly and the beer was cold, oh and the photo opts were great.

Cute place, had high hopes. An hour after ordering, my patience is lost and go to the kitchen to figure out what is going on. My food is sitting at the counter and cold. Manager offers me 10% off and a free dessert. Dude it just took you an hour to deliver my now cold order of food. I ain't waiting for your dessert.

Yummy food, great atmosphere and service. Chef salad was fresh and huge! Grilled chicken sandwich delish! Fun menu. We enjoyed our dinner here. There Thousand dressing was outstanding!

A unique experience for visitors. The variety of food was great and our entire family each enjoyed their selections. Service was also great. The exhibit with variety of taxidermy wild animals thrilled the kids and adults.

Restaurant was cute. The food was okay, and the service was terrible. We came in, they sat us down and it took them a while to ask what drink we wanted even though multiple servers walked around us. One of them was super busy but others were sitting around. After receiving the drinks, we placed our order and walked around the store while we waited. I saw them set our food under the lamp and heard them ding the bell, no one acknowledged it. I saw our server pick up plates off of a table then go chat with another server who had just turn the corner. After getting our food my vegetables were cold. We started eating, and I saw our server sit down to eat. Then the bell made a ding, no one went to it until our poor server got up to get it for them. We finished eating and our server look at us the grabbed a basket of food and sat down to eat again. Another one swept a few spots then went and sat down next to her. One of them was rolling silverware there were 3 total sitting around. Finally someone came and brought us the check. Again the food was decent and the desserts looked amazing. I sadly was too full to get the desserts and didn't have 20 min to wait on a precut piece of carrot cake.

Very good burgers and stuffed peppers. Staff is friendly and ambiance is perfect for Death Valley. Since it's the only restaurant in Death Valley of course I recommend, but it's also very good and not a disappointment. Great place to refresh and eat after a day on the dunes.

Bad experience!! We wanted a bottle of wine to take back to Motel room and asked were in town we could buy one. Bartender said NOWHERE except this place or drive 20+ miles which would be more then the $22 bottle they sold me if you figure in gas, so I bought one believing it. GOT SCAMMED. I walked to General Market two doors down to buy a few items and BAM, bottled wines of all types much much cheaper. I told Market cashier what happen and she was shocked because the market is owned by the same owners as ROADKILL. She called Roadkill and asked if I could bring back unopened bottle I paid cash for with tip for a refund. ROADKILL REFUSED and said basically too bad so sad!...BEWARE, A TRUE TOURIST TRAP!!!
