We were totally starving after a 'Trunk or Treat' and the food options there were a bust. So, we finally give Route 66 Classic Grill a try—we've been meaning to come here forever!
Honestly, it was a lifesaver. The vibe is awesome: total nostalgic 80s diner, and they even had cute Halloween stuff out. Even with the World Series on (Go Dodgers!), the service was good and quick.
The food was way better than expected. I recommend to get the Steak Quesadilla. Seriously, the huge amount of caramelized onions in it was amazing. My Tuna Melt with those caramelized onions and tomatoes was a total winner, too. The kids were happy with their sliders and got their compliment vanilla ice cream.
Just a quick note: the restroom could use some attention; it wasn't the cleanest and had a smell. Aside from that, definitely a great spot to check out!

Came here today with the family for the first time. The atmosphere is amazing , I love the decor , the setup and everything about this restaurant. Employees were very nice and professional. Service was a little slow for not being too busy but hey maybe someone called out things happen. I definitely would come back and highly recommend stopping by if you're around the area and hungry.

Having long desired to visit this establishment, I arrived and was pleasantly surprised by its ambiance. The decor was aesthetically pleasing, and the props were impressive. While the service could have been improved, I ordered an appetizer and main course, and unfortunately, the appetizer was mistakenly served with the main course. Additionally, the side dish was incorrect. The wait time for the server was excessive at times. Despite these minor inconveniences, I highly recommend this establishment. The Route 66 burger is exceptional and should be a must-try.

Route 66 Grill, Santa Clarita — one star, and that single star exists only because the place looked cool. Neon signs, chrome edges, a kind of faded roadside promise of Americana that made me think I’d stumbled into something worth the stop. That illusion lasted about as long as it took for me to sit down.
Ten minutes before a young man finally noticed me. He dropped a menu in front of me without a word, no water, no smile, no sense of welcome. Just a laminated reminder of what I would never receive. Then he vanished, and so did any chance of a meal.
I sat there for twenty long minutes, stomach growling, watching the staff drift around like ghosts. At least three waiters and waitresses, just whispering to each other with the flat indifference of people who had long since given up. Fewer than ten customers in the whole joint, and yet I was invisible.
I can’t review the food because I never saw any. I can only review the service — and the service was a vacuum, a black hole where energy, attention, and basic human hospitality go to die. After thirty wasted minutes, I walked out.
One star, and that’s charity. It looked cool. That’s it. Keep driving.

I have gone to this restaurant three times now because it is that good! I love the vintage atmosphere the restaurant brings with the decor and old times music. the food was also good! i had the pancakes and french toast which were so delicious. My husband got the new mexico burger which i would definitely recommend because it was so good and juicy. i will say, the hot chocolate does need to be a bit better but overall, great diner with excellent food! would highly recommend if you are in the area!
