What is Pops 66 Soda Ranch?
Even if you’re only driving along Route 66 for a little while, you are sure to see some interesting roadside attractions. Located in the tiny town of Arcadia, Oklahoma, about 22 miles north of Oklahoma City, is one of the more famous Route 66 “Giants”- the 66 foot tall soda bottle.
This soda bottle marks the spot of Pops 66 Soda Ranch, a staple of the Route since 2007. The ranch offers a sit-down restaurant, store and gas station.

Pops 66 Soda Ranch Restaurant
Upon entering the building, the restaurant portion will be to your left. You will see a long bar counter and several booths and tables like a classic diner. We visited around 7pm on a Sunday and while most tables were full, we didn’t have a long wait.
The restaurant accepts online ordering as well as to-go orders. Their menu is available on their website, www.pops66.com . It features plenty of ice cream treats as well as diner classics like chicken fried steak, burgers and hot dogs.
We found it to be standard diner food. It was tasty and filled our bellies, but wasn’t anything that left us wishing we could go back.
Stopping to eat here is definitely for the fun and whimsy of the building and to see all of the soda bottles that surround the windows of the restaurant.
The Store
The store takes up the other half of the building. You will find plenty of Pops 66 merchandise as well as classic candy and of course, rows upon rows of coolers filled with soda!
There is also a gas station with pretty standard pricing.
Parking is plentiful and this is a great place to stretch your legs after a long day of travel.
