Steak is an art form, and cooking it properly takes expert-level skill. Luckily, searing up mouthwatering cuts of meat is this Arizona restaurant’s specialty. Not only is the food delicious, but Roadkill Cafe in Seligman is one of the most legendary eateries along Route 66. Come experience the historic Old West in a steakhouse whose motto is “You kill it, we grill it!”
This unassuming red barn is one of Arizona's most iconic restaurants. Roadkill Cafe is a Route 66 institution that memorializes the highway's Old West history.
Nationwide accolades have been given to these mouthwatering steaks. Sides like mashed potatoes, thick-cut fries, and greens round out the meal perfectly.
Char-broiled burgers are another popular specialty. Stacked a mile high with juicy meat, gooey cheese, and tons of inventive add-ons, you'll beg for the recipe after a single bite.
Clever names like "Deer Delectables," "Bad-Brake Steak," and "Splatter Platter," really drive the restaurant's theme home. With food this delicious, you won't care if it was run over or not!
After your meal, pull up a seat at the legendary O.K. Saloon. Sip on sarsaparilla, get to know long-time regulars, and admire the impressive collection of authentic Western antiques.
Kids will think they're on a trip to the zoo upon encountering the taxidermy display. The animals are staged to appear very much alive, an uncanny sight for even the most seasoned hunters.
Don't forget to stop by the gift shop on your way out. Pick up a few souvenirs so you'll never forget the restaurant, saloon, or overall Route 66 experience.
Located next door is the old Arizona Territorial Jail, which held notorious outlaws like Seligman Slim and Four-Fingered Frank. Step inside and feel the overwhelming western spirit still present after all these years.
A replica Old West town sits adjacent to the jail, having served as a backdrop for many commercials and documentaries throughout the years. The scene is so realistic, you'll be half-expecting cowboys on horseback to come riding in!
You’ll find the restaurant at 22830 W Route 66, Seligman, AZ. Have you ever eaten at Roadkill Cafe? What’s your favorite unassuming restaurant in Arizona? These are some of our top picks.
