German immigrant Herman Joseph Berghoff opened the Berghoff Restaurant in the center of the Chicago Loop in 1898. Initially a saloon, he established the business to popularize family-owned Berghoff Beer. Berghoff made it through Prohibition by transitioning into a German restaurant. After Prohibition ended, Berghoff became known for securing Chicago's liquor license No. 1. Still family-owned 124+ years later, Berghoff's is a Chicago Landmark.

As luck would have it, in 1955, Berghoff's location on Adams Street was realigned as Route 66. It placed the restaurant very near the starting point of the Mother Road. As a result, Berghoff's became a popular starting point for many Route 66 travelers.
