About 66 Diner

Step Back in Time!

The 66 Diner was originally opened by Tom and Christy in 1987. After a structural fire in 1994 parts of the restaurant were rebuilt and reopened in 1995. Today the Diner is owned and operated by Christy, her daughters, and her new granddaughter!

66 Diner is a sensory experience. Step back into the 50's with a genuine soda fountain, bright colored booths, a working jukebox and neon accents throughout. The servers are in period attire. Tom's sign collection both inside and outside the 66 Diner provide both nostalgia and a photo op for you and your family.

What about the food?

Comfort food, of course! Fresh Angus Chuck Burgers, Blue Plate Specials and Deluxe Platters like Chicken Fried Steak or Chicken, Liver and Onions and the 66 Diner Chicken Ranchero. The Route 66 Pileup is out Trademark Creation. Try it.

The Milkshakes are made with real ice cream, whole milk and spun on a blender in a stainless tin. 66 Diner Milkshakes have been voted "Best of Albuquerque" ever since Albuquerque the Magazine has been poling.
