About Kirkwood, Missouri: A Railroad Town on the Mother Road

Kirkwood, Missouri is a town located in St. Louis County. It holds a prominent place on the 1926-1977 alignment of Route 66. Founded in 1853, and named after the influential railroad engineer James P. Kirkwood, the town has always been tied to transportation and travel: first by rail and later by America's most famous highway. This heritage made it a natural hub for travelers when Route 66 began carrying motorists through the heart of town.

The most iconic landmark of Route 66 in Kirkwood is Spencer's Grill, which opened in 1947 at 223 South Kirkwood Rd. Known for its classic American comfort food such as fluffy pancakes, juicy burgers and endless coffee refills, Spencer's quickly became a favorite for both locals and travelers alike. Its glowing neon sign, retro interior and unchanged menu have made it a living piece of Route 66 culture and one of the best-preserved diners on the Mother Road.

Beyond Spencer's, Kirkwood embraces its historic charm through its 1893 train station, a beautifully preserved centerpiece that anchors Kirkwood's walkable downtown area. Festivals, markets and community events such as the Route 66 Cars and Guitars Festival help to keep the small town spirit alive, while regional celebrations such as the Route 66 St. Louis Festival ensure that the Mother Road's legacy is remembered in style, complete with classic cars and nostalgic flair.

For travelers, Kirkwood offers more than just a meal. It's a window into the enduring culture of roadside hospitality, where railroads, highways and diners all converge to tell the story of America's grand journey.
