Located near the start of Route 66 and visited by many, on the start of their journey, earning it the nickname 'The first stop on Route 66' For many it is the unofficial start to 'The Mother Road'

Mitchell's is famous for their great Breakfasts, Coffee and Roasts.

The classic neon's feature Lou Mitchell's name outside the restaurant, and the artistic neon inside, again with their name. These signs are lasting memories, for many thousands who started their journey in this Iconic Restaurant.
