    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Pulled pork sandwich with homemade bbq chips!

    Four Words.....CHICKEN FRIED STEAK BURGER!…read more OMG! The bun was gourmet, the burger patty had to be at least 8 oz, that was placed on top of an entire chicken fried steak, American cheese lettuce tomato onion and all topped with fried egg and BACON! I have a huge appetite and I rarely leave a restaurant with a doggy bag but this burger coupled with fresh out of the fryer french fries caused me to take half of this burger home. I just finished the other half and it was still amazing. This burger alone will cause me to be a resident regular at Teddy Bears! If you choose to order it, just make sure you're hungry!

Came here on a Saturday for lunch and we were seated right away! Cons: We were not expecting this place to be cash only! The chairs were uncomfortable and the bathrooms are not nice. Their soda machine wasn't working and they didn't offer iced coffee (although they did give us hot coffee and a cup of ice). Their Ceaser salad had way too much dressing to the point where it was soggy! Overall it was an alright place for our weekend getaway lunch. But we would not eat here again.

Not sure why they added mexican food to the menu when it's an "American Diner", especially when there is a pretty damn good mexican restaurant 100 feet West of this establishment. So if you want fake butter, fake syrup and I'm guessing boxed pancake mix for breakfast this is the place for you. But then again, where can you get real food anymore? And stay clear of the fryer, it's seed oil! It used to be beef tallow when I was in high-school, sure miss the delicious fries and onion rings from those days, we would dip them in the chocolate malt made from scratch! Most likely, we wont be getting that original menu back any time soon. So get the seed oil soaked fried foods with your high fructose fake syrup accompanied by seed oil based margarine and there ya go, enjoy!

    Extremely disappointing experience. This place had promise, but the way my order was handled was…read moreridiculous. I received all of my drinks without lids. They were simply sitting on a table next to the pickup window, and apparently I was expected to finish the job myself. The lids were stuck together, and when I finally managed to separate one and tried to put it on the cup, the cheap plastic cup crushed under the pressure, spilling my drink everywhere. The most frustrating part? When I asked for the drink to be replaced, they didn't want to replace it. So I'm paying around $8 for a mediocre coffee, and somehow I'm also responsible for fighting with defective lids and a flimsy cup--and then expected to just accept the loss when it spills? This is basic customer service. Put a lid on the drink. Use cups that don't collapse when someone tries to put a lid on them. And if your own setup causes a customer's drink to spill, replace it. For what they charge, the quality and service should be much better. I left feeling like I had paid premium prices to do the staff's job myself. Definitely not the experience I expected.
