    Leaving Coachella Camp my buddy decides to take the scenic route home because LA traffic is such a drag and bore. Sometimes I feel as if we took a wrong turn but came out to be a right turn. This little diner in the middle of no mans land took us back into civilization surprisingly. It's such a cute diner filled with unique license plates and cool signs. It looks like it use to be a home so it gave a mom & pop type diner feel. I don't even bother looking at menus now because it's a bit overwhelming with all the choices they give people these days. So I just go by what's a favorite or popular of the people here? The lady said either the all meat breakfast burrito or the jalapeño avocado burger. It was early in the day still so I went with the breakfast burrito. It was so yummy packed with protein. I finished it while trying all the hot sauces that were on the shelf. I do recommend festival goers to stop by if you go home this route. The breakfast is on point!

    This was one of the coolest places I've been to. The atmosphere was cool, the people were so kind and welcoming. Loved the way this place was decorated too! As for the food, it was delicious. We also got PB & banana shakes (you have to get one, it was the best shake I've ever had). Such a great place to stop for lunch, we'll definitely be back!

    Food was great fast and hot!! Carmen is killing it on the grill!! We all loved out food

    Chopped scrambled eggs

    Tried this restaurant on a whim as we were on our way home from Joshua Tree. Pretty much the only thing around. My partners veggie burger and fries were very good, but my scrambled eggs look like they had been put through the blender. Something about cooks in these FarOut places that they wanna stand around and chop the eggs like they've got nothing else to do while waiting for the deep fried hashbrowns to cook. Don't recommend this place.

    Food is absolutely amazing down home flavor. Excellent variety and choice. Service is great. They usually go above and beyond for you ambience well, let's just say it's a unique kind of place.

    The cheeky entrance

    Had a terrific lunch on the way to Palm Desert from Las Vegas. A really friendly and mellow place along a lesser traveled route (HWY 247 from Barstow). Great chat with Matthew, the owner, who made these non-locals feel right at home!

    Beef ribs
    Tony S.

    I don't usually expect much from eateries in small desert towns. But Cafe 247 loons that curve, offering among the best beef ribs I've ever had. A lot of places claim to have ribs that slide off the bone, but they're usually sloppy, greasy, and leave you walking in search of a bottle of TUMS. Not here! Slow cooked, delish, and simply superb, this is my go to rib place off the mountain. I had a portion of my friend's kielbasa, and while I'm not used to having it in bbq sauce (traditional Boston Polish delis serve them with mustard and sauerkraut), after a few bites, it grew on me.... quickly! Adding to the dining experience is a super unique ambiance that's a cross between a biker's club, an art junkyard, and Hollywood museum of memories. It's quite an eye-catching, entertaining place. Highly recommend!

    Double Bacon Burger was absolutely amazing. Great seasoning and overall taste!

    Very happy I stopped by here. Truly one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time. Can't wait to come back and try the BBQ on the weekends. I was just passing by but now I'm officially a regular customer. Definitely recommend to try

    This is one of those classic local spots that has been replaced by Denny's, Waffle House, and IHOP…read morein other parts of the country. It's a dying breed. The diner is cozy and the servers are welcoming. The food isn't Michelin-quality, but gets the job done at solid prices. I also think the quality has remained consistent over the years. Their menu is somewhat extensive with enough options for picky eaters. Overall, a great local diner that deserves more love. Would come again!

    I have been coming here for many years.. Yesterday we stopped in for an afternoon snack…read more. We decided to share an order of chili cheese fries and an ice tea.. When the order arrived it looked good with the exception of the onions.. Covered in onions.. We didn't order it that was as menu says you can add onions and we didn't - but it showed up and were were kinda in a hurry and hungry.. (The chef grabs the frozen fries with his bare hands as touching other foods) Just an FYI So the chili cheese fries were a soppy soaking wet mess. We didn't even eat 1/2 of them as it was like a cheesy wet soup. Probably worst chili cheese fries I have ever had. The server had no smile or personality and other than taking our order and giving us our check.. She said nothing to us and we were sitting at the bar.. She wouldn't even look at us and ask how everything was.. This place didn't feel the same from the pervious visits.. I will probably not return here again.. The only reason I gave two stars, is that the place was clean..
