Perfect atmosphere and delicious food with a Route 66 vibe. The menu had all of the classics you could possibly want, and the servers were on point.

Great food and outstanding service. Portions quite generous, had to take home leftovers. Will be back!

My sisters and I had a wonderful visit a few days ago. Our server was wonderful. She was very attentive and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the salad bar and the tortellini soup. The servers looked so nice in their white shirts and ties and most of them were very festive in their red, white and blue. Overall, it was a good experience, however; the only complaint we had was another server bickering across our table. The servers were mostly professional and kept with their historic ambiance, just would advise the young girl with glasses that we could hear her yelling at the others. The customers don't need to hear your argument. We will be back next time for the desserts that we did not save room for.

So, we arrived at this place about 20 minutes before they opened only to find there were already other cars waiting in the parking lot for them to open. The space has an old diner feel. The staff wears traditional black and white. Our server Michelle was exactly what you would expect at a cafe that's been open since the 1920's. Definitely knows how to take care of guests and made us feel welcome. The menu offers something for everyone. They offer a small soup and salad bar for an extra $5 with your meal. Since it was lunch time we went with sandwiches for our meals. The gyro, the French dip, and a steak sandwich. They were all delicious and well made. There are multiple side options to choose from and the portions are generous. I wish we had saved room for dessert. The case is a true thing of beauty. I will probably make the drive again just for dessert and coffee.

I loved this place. It's been there since the 1930s right on old Route 66. There are pictures on the walls documenting its history that also reveal how little the interior appears to have changed. There is a counter covering one side one side with seating and plenty of booths or tables, whichever suits you. I had the pork loin sandwich which is one of their specials. It was delicious and the crinkle fries were crispy. I also couldn't resist getting the soup and salad bar. The highlights were the homemade potato soup, which was thick and very flavorful, and a cold black eyed pea salad. I don't have many reasons to visit Litchfield, but it's worth a stop for this place.

We love eating at The Ariston Cafe anytime we travel from Chicago suburbs to St Louis. Our waitress Eriel was very personable and very helpful. I had the Salad Bar. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin with cole slaw. We stopped there for lunch. The food is always so delicious. Thank you, Eriel for your friendly service!!

Food was delicious! Service was great! We happened to see their advertisement on the side of the interstate.
