Tally's Good Food Café in Tulsa, Oklahoma Route 66

Tally’s Good Food Café opened on historic Route 66 in 1987. Despite the fact that that was a full two years after the famous route was decommissioned, it is now a must stop for breakfast, lunch, or dinner for road trippers stopping in Tulsa.

The restaurant was founded by Tally Alame, who took over a restaurant space that previously belonged to Mark and Mary’s. Since opening the doors on Friday, November 13, 1987, he has expanded the restaurant from its original one-room design, adding a bar and banquet space. In 1990, he opened a second location and 61st Street and Sheridan, which is operated by his son James.
