Old Log Cabin

Just driving on Old Route 66 can bring surprises. We didn’t know about this place, but stopped when we saw it. Not only was it a gem with spirited people, but it was timely to comfort our rambling stomatches.

This is one of the few restaurants or cafes that has operated for 100 years near Pontiac, IL. Its birthday is March 15, 1926. It has outlasted every downstate small town restaurant on Illinois Route 66. The Log Cabin Inn and the Selotti family were inducted into the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame in 1996.

Current owner Brad Trainor’s daughter, Devon, and close friend Shannon have such a fun and wild spirit. They shared their history books, guest books (with visitors from all over the world), and their fun stories. They were kind to pose for pictures.
