ABOUT US The Ariston Cafe was founded by Pete Adam, a Greek immigrant, in Carlinville, IL in 1924. The original HISTORIC ROUTE 66 We believe the Ariston Cafe to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest restaurant on Route 66. In 1992 the Ariston Cafe and the Adam family were inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame. Since 2006, we've been in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. ![]() |
