The Steak-N-Egger's in McCook was formerly Snuffy's 24 Hour Grill. Snafu's was operated here from 1929 to 2011 when it was sold. I'm not sure it was open 24 hours a day for all those years without any interruptions though. Apparently the cool old Snuffy's neon sign disappeared from the site about the same time that the place was sold.

The limestone used in the construction of the building came from the nearby quarry that Route 66 used to cross but that has been bypassed since 1998.

xNotice that the "Welcome to Fabulous McCook" sign is similar in style to the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign. The McCook sign was installed in 2013 and also features a Illinois US 66 shield at the top.

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.
