We stopped in on a whim while traveling on a Sunday afternoon. I was very pleasantly surprised! We had the Sunday Brunch buffet and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh and home made. Even the soups, salad dressings, beets, and bean salads on the buffet were home made. No one does that anymore! They serve real food like people used to have for Sunday gatherings and it's prepared well. I had roasted beef, a small portion of fried fish, green beans, honey carrots, beets, been salad, and cucumber salad. I also had (home made, not from a box mix) banana cream pie for dessert. Even when we ordered the buffet the waiter brought us sauces and attended to our needs. I wish we had a restaurant like this one where I live. I will definitely be back when visiting family in the area.

The night photo is kitty-corner across the street of the local museum. In front of the museum is a restored WWII-era lit sign originally used at a Route 66 gas station.
The Ariston Cafe is my favorite 66 eatery. It is on an "older section" of the historic highway, a block east of the double-laner. I found it hard to find the first time I went there.
Going into Ariston's is a "Back to the Future" experience. This 1940s supper club has great service, food and ambiance. Lots of menu choices, wonderful salad bar. Prices are less than big city prices and frequented by locals as a fancy night out.
