MidPoint Café, Adrian
MidPoint Café
The midpoint of Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles. The roadside “MIDPOINT” sign and the old café are must-photo stops for road trippers.
The town of Adrian calls itself the true midpoint of Route 66, roughly 1,139 miles from both Chicago and Los Angeles. The “MIDPOINT” sign by the road is a must-photo spot for Route 66 fans. Across the road, MidPoint Café has been serving customers since 1928 and is famous for its “ugly crust pie” and hamburgers. It is said to be one of the models for Flo's V8 Café in the movie Cars. It's about 75 km from Amarillo, so you can stop by on the way to New Mexico. Opening times are irregular, so check ahead.
