We hit Flagstaff coming and going on a trip east last Oct., and I was left a bit disappointed. They seen enthralled with theme based fast food, and we never found a way to avoid listening to the trains all night. Our best dining experience was a small place on the east end of ’66 called Miz Zips, (2924 E. Rt. 66) which is a simple old American diner type. It’s been around awhile. The front is a gathering area for locals, while the rear dining room is nicely decorated with, what else, Route 66 memoribilia. Although I didn’t try any, they made mention in their menu of grinding their own beef and cutting their own steaks daily, and I took that as an indicator of attention that is all too rare today! jm
