Pops 66

660 W Hwy 66 · Arcadia, OK

Why you should go…

Pops 66 is a soda-themed diner, gas station and shop on Historic Route 66 in Arcadia, opened in 2007. Out front stands a 66-foot, four-ton soda bottle sculpture covered in LED lights that puts on a light show each night. Inside, glass walls hold shelves of hundreds of soda bottles arranged by color, many of them for sale cold. The diner serves hamburgers, chicken fried steak and hand-dipped milkshakes and floats.

General eat & drink guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Go early or go late

    The simplest way around a wait at a popular room is to sit down before the rush or after it.

  • Reservations open on a schedule

    Where bookings are taken, tables tend to be released a set number of days in advance, often at a fixed hour.

  • Menus move with the season

    Treat any dish you read about online as a maybe, not a promise, especially anything local and seasonal.

  • Ask what the place is known for

    Staff will point you at the thing worth ordering faster than any list will.
