Historic Route 66 café famed for marking the halfway point between Chicago and Los Angeles, serving classic diner fare and celebrating the heritage of America's Mother Road.

Overview
MidPoint Café earns its name honestly: it sits almost exactly 1,139 miles from both Chicago and Los Angeles, the symbolic halfway point of Route 66. Open since 1928, the café has grown from a simple roadside stop into one of the most recognized names on the Mother Road, known among road-trippers for its friendly service, classic diner menu, road memorabilia, and the midpoint marker out front that's become a mandatory selfie stop. Set amid the wide-open Texas Panhandle, it's less a meal stop than a rite of passage for anyone driving the full route.
