Rock Café, Historical diner on Route 66 in Stroud, Oklahoma.
The sandstone building features a green tin roof, original dining room layout with restored booths, counters, and traditional American diner furnishings.
Roy Rieves constructed the building in 1936 using local sandstone from Route 66 construction, and the restaurant opened its doors in 1939.
The restaurant owner Dawn Welch served as the model for the character Sally Carrera in the motion picture Cars by Pixar Studios.
The establishment welcomes guests seven days per week, offering traditional American meals from 7 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday.
Following severe damage from a 2008 fire, the restaurant received restoration funding through its National Register of Historic Places status.
