“ It has the laid-back feel of a bar, but the food is SO good! The only downside is the bathroom...it's really clean, but there are curtains instead of stall doors, so if you're weird about bathroom doors (like me), bring a trusted partner to guard ur curtain or stop to go on ur way there! ”
“ This place has outstanding food, nicely decorated inside w/rustic antique pieces and great service from start to finish. The sweet tea comes in a quart jar and is perfectly made. Can't say enough about the bbq, everything was smoked to perfection. Great selection if side dishes. Everyone left happy and full!! ”
“ Good as always! 3rd time visiting Nowhere while passing through to Missouri. Love the atmosphere and staff is always friendly. We almost didn't stop this year but glad we did! ”
“ This place was rock solid. Great food and really good portions. The twister is their most popular item. I got it on curly fries instead of wedge fries as I don’t like thicker fries, but it was amazing. Tons of pulled pork. Was enough for a meal by itself but I got a chopped beef sandwich as well. (Ended up taking 80% of it to go with me). I’d highly suggest stopping here if you’re hungry and like bbq type things. Also, the bbq sauce at the table was amazing. I used that instead of the ranch on my twister. ”
“ I cannot say enough about how amazing the owner/staff is. The place definitely takes you back a few decades, so cozy, so much to look at and I was amazed at everything being a repurposed item. I was traveling from Tulsa Oklahoma back to Michigan and this was a suggestion by someone in the city that said - don't bother with any place in the city. Go out route 66 and you will come across this little town and you can't miss the diner. Sure enough about 30 down, there it was! No way to miss it. And I suggest you don't!! ”
“ If you're touring Route 66 in Northeastern Oklahoma, or just passing through, Nowhere on Route 66 in Afton is a wonderful stop along the way. Delicious smoked meat/BBQ in all forms - ribs, pulled pork, sliced beef, chicken, bologna, polish sausage, and hotlinks. Compliment your BBQ with a variety of sides or try one of their specialty plates. Whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed. Top that off with amazing, friendly service from wonderful staff and you'll not only leave pleasantly full, but genuinely glad you stopped by! ”
“ My best friend JaeLee and I went in this evening for dinner and we were greeted with an inviting atmosphere. The owners and staff did an AMAZING job, not only making us feel comfortable and welcome, but also taking the time to converse with us as we enjoy our meals and drinks. The food was INCREDIBLE! From the appetizers to the meals, they kept us pleased until the end. You have got to try the owner’s smoked ribs! Not to mention it’s more than just a place to eat. We sat there for about two hours and just enjoyed the company! Was definitely memories we will keep for a lifetime. Stop in and make some memories for yourselves. We promise you won’t regret it! 3 ”
