Hidden Gem on Route 66 🇺🇸 | Retro Car & Fried Chicken Spot

Oklahoma Edition Day 4 on Route 66: Oklahoma City → Amarillo (Part 1) 📍 1. Ann’s Chicken Fried Cafe Address: 4106 NW 39th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73112 I CANNOT recommend this retro sports car-themed fried chicken joint enough—AAAAH! 🤩 It’s so cool for photos—my phone’s wide-angle lens totally made my “tall model legs” dream come true, lol! Everything about this spot screams Route 66 nostalgia: vintage sports cars parked outside (some even decorated with fun decals), retro signage that glows in the sun, and that cozy, old-school diner vibe inside. And let’s not forget the food—their chicken fried steak is crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor (perfect fuel for a day of driving!). If you’re in Oklahoma City, run—don’t walk—to this place! It’s the kind of quirky, one-of-a-kind spot that makes Route 66 road trips so special 🚗. 📍 2. Rock Cafe (Bonus Spot!) Address: 114 W Main St, Stroud, OK 74079 This one’s a total “Cars” movie fan favorite! We actually arrived here late on Day 3, but since it’s in Oklahoma, I’m including it in this post. The Rock Cafe is famously tied to Cars—the owner, Dawn Welch, was the inspiration for the character Sally 🚗💨! Sadly, we got there too late and it was already closed 😢—but even the exterior was worth the detour! The two vintage cars parked outside were adorable (total “Cars” movie vibes), and the cafe’s stone exterior and retro sign felt like a scene straight out of Radiator Springs. If you’re a Cars fan or just love retro diners, make sure to visit earlier in the day so you can go inside—from what I’ve heard, the food (and the movie memorabilia!) is awesome. #Travel #WorldTravel #MyTravelStory #MyHiddenGemTravelGuide #OnTheRoad #Scenery #USA #USATravel #Route66 #ComeTakePhotos #HighwayTrip #MostBeautifulHighway #RoadTrip #WeekendGetaway #OffTheBeatenPath #InternetFamousSpot #Retro #RetroCheckInSpot
