"Route 66 is a legendary highway, spanning from Chicago to Los Angeles. Known as "Mother Road," the route travels through eight U.S. states, edging 250 buildings, bridges, road alignments, and other sites that are Nationally Registered Historic Places. Route 66 is also home to many classic restaurants, but one stop along the way you shouldn't skip is Mr. D'z Route 66 Diner."
"Mr. D'z still stands and is still beloved to this day by hungry travelers and locals of Kingman, Arizona. Dunton included personal family recipes on the menu and concocted his perfect vision of root beer. In 2000, Dunton leased Mr. D'z to Armando Jimenez, a former sous chef at the (since-closed) MGM Brown Derby restaurant. Jimenez and his wife, Michelle, have opened a second Mr. D'z in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico."
Mr. D'z Route 66 Diner occupies a remodeled 1939 Kingman Cafe and Kimo Shell gas station on Route 66 in Kingman, Arizona. The pink-and-turquoise 1950s-inspired diner opened in 1992 and showcases Route 66 memorabilia. Roy Dunton converted the space into the diner, adding family recipes and his own root beer; he leased it in 2000 to Armando and Michelle Jimenez, who later opened a second Mr. D'z in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The diner offers a record-shaped, pages-long menu with extensive breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, including a famous Monster Burger Challenge featured on Beard Meats Food.
