Route 22 Restaurant and Bar, Armonk

Even from the outside of its brick-walled building, Route 22 Restaurant and Bar echoes its 1930s gas station past with a garage door and the vintage car parked out front. The family-friendly eatery also shares its nostalgic roots by crowding the interior with historic pictures, a vintage diner counter, gas station signs, license plates, and old-time automobiles parked in the rafters by haunted tow trucks. A menu of classic American fare offers signature Danish baby back ribs, nine sandwiches, nine burgers, and myriad bottled wines and beers. Route 22’s kid-friendly selections earned them a Best of Westchester nod in 2005 from Westchester Magazine and live music performances earn lighter waving from across the outdoor patio.
