WAGON WHEEL RESTAURANT
Read moreThis restaurant all dressed in yellow and with an original decoration is located at the west exit of Needles. It is one of the classic stops on Route 66, which merges here with the Old National Trails Highway. The building dates from 1955 but the restaurant has only been open since 1978. The dishes are of good quality and typically American (fried chicken, sandwiches, burgers, salads, etc.), with some Mexican specialities too. An address not to be neglected before going further into the desert areas surrounding Needles.
EMMA JEAN'S - HOLLAND BURGER CAFE
Read moreThe Holland Burger Café takes us back to the blessed years of Route 66. The building was built by Bab and Kate Holland in 1947. In 1979, Richard Gentry bought the business as a gift for his wife, Emma Jean, who had been a waitress there for several years. The place was naturally renamed Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe. We enjoy eating the homemade burgers in this small building still run by the family.
