We have found that when traveling and on the road, collecting eateries that aren't commercial, can lead to good vibes, good people, and a good dining experience. Here we were still in New Mexico and heading into Oklahoma. We stopped in for breakfast. We plan to stop here again on our way back.

Niece and aunt keeping the Route 66 spirit alive.
The Roundhouse is a popular eatery that has been in Caruthersville forever. I've been there five times, in 1980, 1985, 1994, and twice since we arrived for our mission. It is one of those places where I feel very much at home. I feel like I really belong there; like I really know the place. The mood is timeless and I LOVE their deep fried chicken liver.

This morning, after distributing food out of the food pantry in Steele, MO, we had breakfast at the Steele Family Restaurant. Along with a full menu, they have a Sunday buffet with a huge selection of food and for only $7.95. The waitress and her family settled in Missouri after escaping out of New Orleans when Katrina hit. The plan was to eventually return home but they like where they had found refuge so well, that they decided to stay.

as the teenage daughter of a restaurant owner, I know first hand that eating places that reverberate with a family song have loyal customers. the name of my mom's restaurant was "Junior's Family Room". factory worker, nearby business people and families knew good food was always available. I'm glad to hear that there are still places like my mom's. safe travels, dear one!
thanks for sharing; have a nice Sunday
much love...
dear annie,
your post is full of comfort and that sense of belonging that means so much to us all. there is something about feeling you are a cloud drifting into its rightful place. may we continue to offer this through our welcoming eyes and compassion all the days of our lives.

I never thought of the concept of feeling at home in a cafe or restaurant before reading your post, but it's true! I have experienced that feeling of homecoming!

I do like a good cafe or diner! Great photos! Do you and Don like pie? When you hit Michigan, we may put Sweetielicious on the list!
Yes. Yes, Jeanie. Pie is good. Looking forward to that.
