Western View Steakhouse has been serving weary travelers on the Mother Road & locals since 1941. The Diner features the traditional restaurant Neon sign, & artistic Neon Zia Sun symbol over the front entrance.

Since the 1930s, neon signage has been a prominent and vital part of Route 66 as it meanders through Albuquerque.

"From the foothills of the Sandias in the east to the parched desert expanse of the west, Route 66 is festooned with vibrant neon signage that cuts a luminous swath through the city. The nocturnal spectacle of glowing neon might be the siren’s call that has drawn generations of “cruisers” to Central Avenue.

One of Albuquerque’s most prominent neon spangled signs celebrates Route 66 as it spans across all four lanes of Central Avenue near its intersection with Coors Boulevard Southwest. Literally at the shadow of that span is the Western View Diner & Steakhouse which has been pleasing weary travelers and hungry locals since 1941 thanks to generous portions of reasonably priced and delicious comfort food with a homemade taste that comes from years of plying its culinary craft."
