30 Bizarre and Brilliant Stops Along America’s Route 66

19. The Roadkill Café – Seligman, Arizona

For those with a taste for adventure—and maybe just a little morbid humor—The Roadkill Café in Seligman, Arizona, is a must-visit diner along Route 66. This offbeat eatery fully embraces its theme of humorously named “roadkill” dishes, featuring a menu that includes delightfully dark names like the "Splatter Platter," "Rigor Mortis Tortoise," and "Fender Tenders." But don’t worry—despite its name, no actual roadkill is served here. Instead, the café offers a menu of hearty, homestyle meals, with juicy burgers, barbecue platters, and classic diner fare that’s been delighting travelers for years. The Roadkill Café’s interior is an experience in itself—decorated in Western kitsch and Route 66 memorabilia, it embodies the free-spirited, nostalgic feel of the historic highway. Rustic wooden walls, vintage signs, and mounted animal heads create an authentic Old West roadhouse vibe, while the waitstaff keep things lively with their playful banter and commitment to the café’s tongue-in-cheek theme.
