Cruisers Cafe 66

Wasn't expecting much from this place since it's in the middle of tourist central, but the food was surprisingly very good and we enjoyed the live music. For food, I had the loaded baked potato with brisket, pulled pork, and smoked sausage and it was fantastic. My wife had the brisket dinner. The brisket was very tender and flavorful. The cornbread was sweet and some of the best cornbread I've ever had at a restaurant. And the potato salad was delicious as well. Another person in our party had the prime rib dip sandwich and they loved it. Regarding drinks, they have a soda fountain and you serve yourself. Some people might not like this but I didn't mind and my kids loved it. It was actually kind of refreshing being able to refill our own glasses and not have to flag down the server every time my kids needed another root beer in their incredibly small kid sized cups.

Atmosphere was awesome. Live music with a talented singer/songwriter/guitarist with a comedic streak. Food was okay. It smelled better with the giant smokers when we passed earlier in the day than what translated into the food. We got the pulled pork and bbq chicken. Our server was great, answered questions, and was personable. Nighttime neon made the dinner. Would recommend just for that alone.

Great experience with good service, good food, great weather for outdoor dining, and the live entertainment on the patio. Our burgers were cooked to about the most agreeable 'medium' that I've found in a restaurant. Many other places just burn them up to done regardless of how you wanted it. The fries or onion rings are served in these mini deep fryer baskets, so that was a fun twist. I recommend the onion rings, they were on par with the brisket burger I had. If I could change one thing about that burger, I'd give the coleslaw a little more character by adding a bit more mayonnaise and black pepper. There may be other/similar places in Williams to eat a good meal, but we saw that place first, and it didn't disappoint at all. Bonus feature: the men's bathroom partitions and stalls were made from car doors and truck tailgates. Very fun surprise when you're not expecting it. If they had a transmission bell housing sink, that'd just be icing on the cake.

This was a really fun place for a quick bite after visiting the Grand Canyon! Very family friendly! What a great atmosphere! There was live music and friendly staff! The service was exceptional! The food was ok. We were seated outdoors on our request but when the only heater went out (out of 4 heaters- only one working) we asked to sit inside. The decorations are a throwback of the hay days of route 66! Even down to the bathrooms! Hahaha! This made for a fun visit with the kids!
