We had read about the Palms Grill opening in Atlanta, Illinois, about three months ago, and put this high on the itinerary for this trip. That means forsaking a trip to the Cozy Dog in Springfield, but it was something that was necessary.
We always try to support businesses on the Route, especially new ones. We're on a trip to Joplin and points west and will hook up with the Missouri Route 66 Association's Motor Tour on Saturday and take it east to Pacific, where we're at tonight (with a car that presently will not start).
I've been watching the progress of the place over the last several rears. I once peered through the windows and saw nothing but bare earth for a floor. The last time through, there was a floor as well as the counter and stools.
This place is a credit to the community and a definite plus for Route 66. They have taken every effort to make the interior the same as it was all those years ago. They have succeeded admirably.
More to Come. --Cooter
