Beat the Heat with Route 66 Café's Late-Summer Specials

As August draws to a close and the Oklahoma heat reaches its peak, Route 66 Café is ready with a lineup of late‑summer specials that are sure to cool you down and keep you coming back for more. Whether you’re stopping by during a road trip, celebrating a family milestone or just looking to escape the August sun, we've got something for everyone.

First up: drinks. Our house‑made lemonade is the star of the season, squeezed fresh daily and infused with just a touch of local honey for a balanced sweetness. For something a little more adventurous, try our peach iced tea — brewed with real peaches from nearby orchards and served over crushed ice. If you’re craving a creamy treat, our classic vanilla milkshake gets a seasonal twist with a swirl of strawberry purée.

Of course, no summer visit would be complete without good food. Our late‑summer menu features pulled‑pork sandwiches slow‑cooked to perfection and topped with tangy barbecue sauce, crisp salads loaded with heirloom tomatoes and cucumbers from regional farms, and our famous chicken‑fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. Save room for dessert: our peach cobbler, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, tastes just like summer in a bowl.

At Route 66 Café we pride ourselves on using fresh, local ingredients and serving up friendly hospitality in the heart of Clinton. These specials are available for a limited time through the end of August, so come by soon to enjoy a taste of summer before it’s gone. We can’t wait to see you!
