Rock Café, Historical diner on Route 66 in Stroud, Oklahoma.
Rock Café is a restaurant built from local sandstone with a green tin roof in Stroud along Route 66. Inside, the original dining room layout features restored booth seating, counter positions, and traditional American diner furnishings.
Roy Rieves built the structure in 1936 from local sandstone sourced during Route 66 construction, and it opened as a restaurant in 1939. The place later became a known stopping point for travelers along the historic highway.
The owner is known in the community as a keeper of Route 66 history and local stories. Visitors find themselves part of a space where family memories and the road's heritage are actively maintained and shared.
The restaurant operates seven days a week and serves traditional American meals throughout the day. Guests should expect it to get busy, especially around lunch time, as it is a popular Route 66 stop.
The owner of the place inspired a character in Pixar's animated film Cars, portrayed as Sally Carrera. This unexpected Hollywood connection makes it a special experience for film enthusiasts visiting the diner.
