History

Route 66 Cafe at the Market stands where the old Dorsey’s Fruit Market and Grocery stood on Route 66 in the 1930s. After its closure, the building sat empty and deteriorating for 20 years when the Jannings bought it and opened "Gayla's on the Market" in 2009. Gayla’s served as a breakfast-and-lunch restaurant, catering business, and gift shop. Seven years later, the business was purchased by Bruce and Judy Lamborn and re-named "Route 66 Cafe at the Market". Bruce and Judy continued the tradition of serving comfort food to the community until 2023 when it became time to retire. The business was then purchased by Daniel and Sirena Neenan. Daniel and Sirena once again continued the tradition of serving great food to the people of Clinton and beyond. We are so happy to be a part of the community and the history of Clinton, OK.
