Date of Visit: June 22, 2025
On our drive of Route 66 from Tulsa to Pops 66, we stopped at Rock Cafe for lunch. I was most interested in checking out Rock Cafe because I had read that their fried pickle slices inspired the dill pickle popcorn in Cars Land, which is my favorite Disney Parks food.
The Rock Cafe was one of the places Pixar visited when researching Cars and the owner inspired the character Sally. There is now a lot of Cars decor and memorabilia inside and out. We ended up in a corner booth next to what seems to be the most popular item as every few minutes it seemed someone came over to take a photo of the movie poster signed by John Lasseter.
Of course, I had to have the fried pickles, which were good fresh and also heated up the next morning for breakfast.
One of their other specialties is späetzle (german style noodles). I had enjoyed the Späetzle & Cheese and Dad had the Rock Cafe Späetzle (noodles w/ onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes).
After eating we also checked out the gift shop, which reminds me of the gift shop in Cars Land at Disney's California Adventure. We got a sticker for our Route 66 journal and a pin that is a fun addition to the Cars Land lanyard I have.
Before leaving we walked over to the park next door, which has a veteran's memorial and a Route 66 Centennial sign.
