301 Arizona 66 Seligman, AZ , 86337 Phone: 928-422-3291 Website Located on the longest remaining stretch of Route 66, there is no better place to experience the genuine small town hospitality and quirky pride that once defined the Mother Road than Delgadillo’s Snow Cap Drive-In. Originally constructed in 1953 by the now deceased Juan Delgadillo with mostly scrap lumber from a nearby railroad yard, the eatery first gained fame when Delgadillo sliced the top off of his car and began covering it in eye-catching flare such as stickers and a fake Christmas tree
The drive-in clearly does not take itself too seriously, but their devotion to jokes and whimsy seeps into every facets of the business. From the front door, which features two door knobs (one’s a fake), to the jokingly redundant menu items (dead chicken, anyone?), the eatery gives every guest the funhouse treatment. Visitors may have to make a clear distinction between iced tea and iced tee and confirm that they want cheese on their cheeseburgers.
This hamburger place is on the corner of RT. 66 and Lamont St.
