Route 66 - Club Cafe

The Club Cafe

From its opening in 1935, the Club Cafe of Santa Rosa, New Mexico served thousands of Route 66 travelers and locals with good food and good service at good prices. Many proclaimed this place to have the best biscuits and gravy in the Southwest. Once passed by I-40 though, traffic became sparse and like so many others, the place was forced to close in 1991.
