Introduction

Stroud is a small city in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, situated between historic U.S. Route 66 and Interstate 44, a low key gem on Americas Mother Road. Founded during the late nineteenth century Land Run era, the town was once an important agricultural and railroad stop on the prairie. Stroud is best known for having two historic roadside restaurants, the Catoosa based Saks and the Stroud Rock Cafe, famous for steaks and roadside fare among Route 66 travelers. Although some vintage establishments have closed, the town still retains nostalgic roadside signs, gas stations, and motels that carry the golden memory of American road culture. With a slow pace and warm hospitality, Stroud is an ideal stop for travelers seeking the authentic small town Route 66 experience.
