Inside Roy's Cafe diner in Barstow CA on Route 66

The kind of place your server remembers your order.

Roy's Cafe started the way every great diner does — with a family, a stove, and a stretch of road. Ours just happens to be Historic Route 66, right in the middle of Barstow, California.

Generations of Barstow locals, cross-country travelers, and Route 66 explorers have walked through our door. We're the kind of place where your server remembers your order, your coffee never runs out, and the food tastes like someone's grandmother made it.

Two cuisines. One real American diner. Open every single day.
