The building was originally known as the Water Hole #2 and is a former 1930’s beer joint, & Route 66 rest stop.
The Tumblweed Grill stands alongside Historic Route 66, also known as the Mother Road, Main Street of America, & in Oklahoma the 'Will Rogers Highway'.
This is a great stop, even if just for a photo of the watering hole Mural.
The town of Texola itself dates back to the early 1900s and has previously been known as Texokla, Texoma, & Texola is almost a Ghost Town and has some interesting relics of gas stations and a territorial jail cell.
