California
I don’t spend nearly enough time on the west end of 66 to give a competent report on the Left Coast’s dining options, but a couple of California roadies have volunteered to chime in here with their favorites just as soon as I finish the major construction on this site.

Don’t forget the Summit Inn. a 50’s Diner that you can still get Date Shakes, and Bufalo Burgers. At the Oak Hills off ramp just at the Cajon Summit.
Emma Jeans 1/2 mile east of the CA Rt66 Museum.
There is a new place between Victorville and Barstow called Molly Browns Country Kitchen in a Vintage Bulding that was a Rt66 Resturant in Rt66’s hey day.

I’ve heard about the Summit Inn but haven’t had the opportunity to eat there. Would you be willing to contribute some reviews of your favorite California diners?

The Summit Inn is a favorite of our family. We took our daughters on a “Route 66″ trip last spring from Santa Monica to Winslow. Not far enough, but we only had one week. We live about an hour from the Summit Inn and since our trip we have been 3 or 4 more times just for the fun! Great food, great service, great prices and all the nostalgia of what I always think of when I think of Route 66!
