Rod's Steak House 1946 Baseball T-Shirt

On August 23, 1946, Rodney and Helen Graves opened their doors to the steak loving public of Williams, Arizona. Little did they know at the time that they were creating a main street institution that would not only become a Route 66 landmark, but carry on the old Arizona feel for decades. The Graves sold Rod's to a long time employee in 1985, and the new owner ensured the longtime favorite of locals and tourists alike remained just as they liked it. Rod's menu straight forward menu stayed largely the same over its 75-year run, something that few other restaurants can claim, and what customers counted on — a place where they could pull off the highway and have a really great steak.
