Sycamore Inn


This storied Route 66 landmark has fed its juicy steaks to generations of meat lovers, including A-listers such as Marilyn Monroe. The menu brims with old-school faves such as oysters Rockefeller, crab cakes and shrimp cocktails to start things off before tucking into the aged and hard-carved cuts, including a 22oz porterhouse.
