The Old Route 66 Family Restaurant has been in operation since 2001. The current owners started their first restaurant, the Wishing Well Cafe, in Odell in 1993. At one time this place was called Stark's. It is location on Old Route 66 just south of Mazon Ave. just about diagonally across the intersection from Ambler's Texaco Station..

x 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
xDid 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.
