No trip along what's left of U.S. Route 66 would be complete without a stop by Big Chief Roadhouse. Originally established in 1929 as part of the Big Chief Highway Hotel, Big Chief Roadhouse is one of the last remaining full-service restaurants in operation on the famed roadway.
Recently renovated and restored to its historic roots, Big Chief aims to bring diners not only a great food and beverage experience, but a little bit of history as well.
Now under new ownership, which includes two accomplished chefs, an all-new menu accompanies the new look. A heavy reliance on freshly made breads, sauces, locally sourced produce and in-house smoked meats dominates the beautifully presented dishes. Family owned and family friendly, Big Chief Roadhouse is a must visit for everyone.
Big Chief is included on the National Register of Historic Places.
