Little restaurants across Route 66 used to be very popular. These would be places that hungry, weary drivers would pull off to get a bite to eat. As Route 66 became more obsolete, these restaurants dried up. But a few of them still remain. One great example of the past is Polk-A-Dot Drive In. Go here, and relive the past. It’s truly great!

The Polk-a Dot Drive in has been in existence since 1956, and retains its 1950s charm.
