If you ever find yourself cruising down Route 66, make sure to stop at Pops 66, a unique blend of a gas station, restaurant, and supermarket, all under the shadow of a giant, neon-lit soda bottle. This place isn't just about refueling your car; it's a paradise for soda lovers with over 700 varieties to choose from. The walls, adorned with colorful soda bottles, create a vibrant tapestry that's both eye-catching and nostalgic. I couldn't resist buying a few to keep as souvenirs – the bottles are just too cute!
The diner section of Pops 66 throws you back to the good old days with its old-school vibe. I had some of the best fried pickles and a steak sandwich that were absolutely delightful. The Root Beer Bread Pudding is a must-try, though you might want to check if it's available as it seems to sell out quickly! The staff here are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make your visit memorable. They even remembered to keep a dessert aside for a customer, which speaks volumes about their service.
Visiting at night adds another layer of magic, with the giant soda bottle lighting up in changing colors, making the whole place look like a scene from a vibrant fairytale. Whether it's the array of sodas, the delicious homemade food, or the classic candies, Pops 66 offers a delightful break from the mundane, ensuring that every visitor leaves with a smile. Definitely a highlight on Route 66!
