Look for the giant steer in the sky atop Mac's La Sierra Coffee Shop sign, pretty hard to miss actually. The restaurant has been here since 1952. There used to be a small motel here too when it was La Sierra Motel & Coffee Shop.

The neat sign and advertises the original "Steak in the Rough". I don't know what "Steak in the Rough" means, but I suspect this guy is thinking they're not turning him into someone's dinner!

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.
