The former Houdek's Steakhouse and Hotel at Joliet Rd. & Clyde Terrace in McCook was a Pomp's Tire store when we went by in 2016. Houdek's had a dance hall that used a jukebox to provide music. There was also a bar and soda fountain in addition to the dining facilities. The second floor housed the hotel.

The building was a gas station for some time after Houdek's closed but before it became the tire shop. It has been so heavily altered that there really is little, if any current relevance to historic on Route 66. About the only visual reference to the original exterior is the angled corner entrance.
