Established
in 1939 by Roy Rieves on 6 ½ city lots
acquired for $100 and $5 worth of rock excavated
from construction of Route 66 Highway. Operated
by various proprietors over the years, the Rock
has served as Greyhound Bus Stop, congregation
spot for WWII soldiers going to war and returning
home to their wives and girlfriends, a youngsters’
hangout rocking to the juke box, family vacation
stop, and a message center for truckers with notes
called in and pinned to the wall waiting for their
arrival. The Rock Café is now owned by
Dawn Welch and serves a menu of modern and nostalgic
foods. The Rock Café is host to a variety
of events and guests from all over the world.
Definitely a “must see” for the Route 66 traveler.
P.S.
Don’t miss the bathroom walls featuring signatures
of guests from all over the world (add your own
if desired) and including cartoons by Pixar Movies
artist drawn during his visit researching their
soon to be released Route 66 animation “Cars”.
