Mr D Z Is The Best Old Fashioned Drive In Restaurant In Arizona

While Route 66 has been decommissioned for ages, the historic highway is anything but lonesome. Restaurants, shops, and other businesses line the Mother Road, ensuring not a single moment of its heyday will ever be forgotten.

Mr. D’z Route 66 Diner keeps alive the days of vinyl records and jukeboxes – and the hearty meals are pretty tasty too.

Mr. D’z first opened in 1939, serving as a gas station for almost 50 years. While the building has since undergone renovations during its conversion into a diner, its undeniable charm is ever-present.
