Route 66 RoadHouse - Pontiac (IL)

5 /5 Matt: Ive tried fried pickles from so many places in the Midwest, and these just might be the best so far. They use bread & butter chips, which I love, and its the first time Ive had fried pickles with that kind of batter. They were so good! Crispy and crunchy. The drinks are also very reasonably priced. Would absolutely love to go back there if were in the area again.

1 /5 Brett Kramer: We stopped here on 11.28.25 because I remembered that the previous owners, Delongs, had an excellent Rueben Sandwich. Sad to say, the new restaurant with new owners doesnt measure up to Delongs, (and no longer makes a Rueben sandwich). We had the grilled chicken wrap, which was about as minimalistic and lackluster as a sandwich can get, whoever the chef was, he didnt know how to create a good wrap. Being a great chef and creating memorable food takes a lot of work, not everyone can take it on. Total bill for two wraps, tax and tip, $35.29. First time and last time.

5 /5 Ana Fuller: We were visiting Pontiac,IL for the first time and stopped in for lunch. We ordered the cheeseburger and chicken tender meals for the kids , a southwest chicken wrap and a buffalo chicken wrap. Everything was great and made fresh. The homemade ranch was outstanding , and we were able to buy a bottle to take home! Added bonus , the kids meals were 1/2 off. We will definitely go back if we’re in the area again. Might even make the drive just for the ranch.

1 /5 Jamie Harrison: DO NOT EAT HERE! Waste of money! Most people will tell you it’s too expensive for what it is and I agree. Honestly, go a little further to RT 66 Family Restaurant In Dwight, IL they are wonderful. We tried this for take out and it was so awful! I was going to write a review then and decided to give them the benefit of the doubt they’re new. No way now! My husband waited a hr until they open even though it says they open at 9, they weren’t. Then he goes to get me a breakfast burrito and they just decided they’re not making them anymore. They just decide what to serve or not to serve. What hours to be open or not to be open. So no more breakfast until Spring the owner says. Unreal! This is not how you get continued business. I will never patron this place ever and I will continue to tell people not to waste their hard earned money. Chicken dinner is literally a dried out grilled chicken breast with nothing else on it. Like a hockey puck! The steak sandwich they offered because they were out of everything else was also awful! Fatty and salty as heck. They ran out of ice cream and said they had 1 left peach cobbles and it was freezer burnt. I was so mad I almost called to complain. Truthfully they wouldn’t have cared or made it right anyway you can tell this place shouldn’t be open. You got me once for $50 and a great tip, you’ll never get me again. You can’t cook, so I’d suggest finding a chef who can and evaluating how you run a business.
