Victorville
California Route 66 Museum and classic diners
Victorville is home to the California Route 66 Museum, preserving the highway's Golden State legacy with exhibits, memorabilia, and a gift shop. But the real star is Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe — operating since 1947 and widely considered the best diner on California Route 66.
The Brian Burger (a cheeseburger wrapped in a tortilla with green chili) is Emma Jean's signature and a must-eat for every Route 66 traveler. Cash only, counter seating, zero pretension.
