Since 1995

Our Story

Formerly Freeway Cafe — now better, now Highway Cafe.

Ali has been running restaurants since 1995. Out of a lifelong love for the diner business, and to keep family close, he and his son Hesam took over the former Freeway Cafe West and made it their own: Highway Cafe.

Same home-style cooking you know — chicken fried steak, biscuits & gravy, stacks of hot cakes — with a fresh coat of chrome and a family behind the counter. Pull up a red stool, say hi to the toy-car wall, and stay a while.

  • Just off Old Route 66 & I-44, next to the Petro truck center
  • Breakfast all day, 7 days a week
  • Family owned — Ali & Hesam
