The Golden Spur was established in 1918 as a ride-up hamburger stand for
the equestrian crowd. The current building dates to 1932. The building
has been updated enough that other than age it's just another building.
The sign is the attraction here. The restaurant closed and the property
was sold in late 2018 to be used for a different purpose. The new owners
apparently planned to retain at least the boot portion of the iconic sign.
The
very cool sign has lost the "Restaurant" and "Cocktails"
portions but the boot portion will remain.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
