Cafe 247 - Sign says best burgers on Earth - American Near Me - Lucerne Valley, California

Very eclectic decor. Not the fastest service, but food is really good Lots of shake flavors too! read more

Cafe 247 is a much needed space in the Lucerne Valley area. I passed by a number of times when I lived in Big Bear, as it's close to one of the three routes you can take to get down the hill. I only stopped in to grab a cup of coffee on my visit, so I can't really review the food or much of the service....other than saying the coffee was good, and the woman who rang me up was friendly. The space is very "road". Lots of bikers. Decor is super eclectic and looks similar to a lot of the roadside diners I've visited over the years. I was surprised by the large outdoor space that apparently hosts live music often. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd absolutely stop back in for an actual meal and to get a more in-depth experience of this spot. read more

The bbq (super sampler) is delicious! We've stopped at Cafe 247 multiple times and the food is great every time and reasonably priced. Fun vibe too! Service is great! Can't go wrong. We will continue to stop by Cafe 247 on our way to Big Bear or just because we enjoy the food. read more

The food is pretty basic/divey. Burgers, fries, ribs... It's not horrible, nor is it excellent. It seems inspired by Carl's Jr But the people... Lord... The patrons. Those "patriots" who couldn't afford a flight to DC to overthrow a democracy, seem to have found their tribe here. Nawww. I will drive on, next time I'm in the area. read more

Been here a couple times with my dog on the way to camping trips. friendly staff, friendly customers. Ribs were great and they threw in extra bones for my dog. The BBQ burger was freaking great. They have love music on the weekends too. It's a great place to stop off at. If I'm ever in the area again, I will be back. read more

Today, while on the road, I stopped "in the middle of nowhere" for a break and some lunch. Cafe 247 is quite a unique place. I ordered a Chili Size. It was delicious. I don't often order a Chili Size but in all my years I'd have to rate this as the very best! THANK YOU CAFE! read more

Got taken off the 10 freeway coming from AZ for a accifent shutdown and had to take the back way to the central coast. Looking for a place to eat Lo an behold we see a sign "Best Burgers". Off the beat and pass Lo and Behold Cafe 247. What a great find. Great Food, quirky surroundings and awesome people working there. We had the burger and fries and the Kielbasa with beans and corn. Was very tasty. The only complaint. Cut the sausage in half before cooking. That thing is huge read more

This place is amazing the food is great and the staff are so friendly and nice has a great music and the bbq on the weekends is the best I've ever had try this place out you will not be disappointed read more

This is a local's biker hang out, but cooler. We popped in after an extremely disappointing lunch at China House, came in for a look-around , but more importantly, a beer. I would love to be here on a weekend evening to see some bands play on these awesome outdoor stages. The menu was basic, bugers, fries, bbq and the like. We had heinekens and a healthy dose of people watching. There's groovy eclectic rubbish turned into art all over the yard. It was a pretty fun atmosphere. They've got smokers and stuff, so weekends are probably the bomb. We will check it out another time. Gotta try the BBQ! read more

Worst most overrated, overpriced food. WHO knows what they're BBQing? The guys at the feed store across the street have all kinds of animals that you would never know you're eating bc it's covered with sauce read more

Excellent food served in an eclectic seating environment. Large portions of freshly cooked meals with a large variety of beverages - both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Entertainment often on-site to provide more ambiance. Staff is very courteous and welcoming! read more

Best BBQ pork ribs. Showed up about 4pm Saturday PM and was told they're typically sold out by then but still had some available. So stop in for lunch and or a very early dinner if you're craving the BBQ! read more

Jalapeño Bacon Ranch burger is excellent. one of the best burgers I've ever had because it is flavorful and they do it right. They are hefty burgers, bigger than how they appear in the photos. Fried green beans have a nice even coating and sweet potato fries are ok. read more

Everything about this place is GOOOOOOOD! Stopped in on the way to Vegas, and got a yummy giant breakfast burrito from the friendliest staff ever. Was just going to hit the road immediately, but was captivated by the atmosphere and chatty patrons. This place is not to b missed. Old roadside decor, metal arts for sale by a local- great guy! Varied menu, great food, excellent prices. I hear tell that on the weekends they got a BBQ going, and live music, too. (#nexttime) If you can catch The Banana Bread man selling his homemade goodness, you are in for a treat!!! Next time you're near Joshua Tree /Yucca Valley/ Lucerne Valley, on your way to Vegas, take the time to stop in, and stay awhile. read more

Best BBQ anywhere!!! Not just drowned in sauce to hide overcooked meat. This pit master is great .

This place has been awesome every time I visit. From the customer service to the quality and taste of the food this place is worth coming too. I work out this way twice a year and definitely put time away to have lunch here. The burgers and fries are actually top notch and the other food I see people get also looks really good. The most pickiest eater I work with always tells me he has to also stop here everyone for lunch. Give this place a try, it does not disappoint! read more

Good little stop! Lots of options! Old school vibes! Service is good and ambiance is the best !

A destination for an assortment of people. Leaving Cougar Buttes, called in my order for breakfast and wow. I've had their delicious burger before, so wife and i decided to try their breakfast bacon burrito. It was probably one of the best ones. They use homemade country gravy, INSIDE the whole burrito. It was so moist, juice, FRESH eggs, hash-browns crispy, and the tortilla was oozing and exploding with the goodness that was coming out of this burrito. The parking is large, we had 2 in our group with flatbeds, there were two big rigs when we pulled up and plenty of room for RV's or more trucks/trailers. The atmosphere is awesome in my opinion. It's a small town feel, they have a stage and live music all the time. They had pool tables outside under large canopies and quite a bit of seating. read more

This place is awesome. Driving by my wife and I smelled the BBQ outside and had to stop. This was the best BBQ ever. We had the Super Sampler platter. Beef ribs, pork ribs, tri tip, and sausage. Unbelievable flavor. Cooked perfectly. And my kind of atmosphere. The staff was personable, friendly and helpful. Nice selection of beers to go with it. This place is far from home but we will be going out of our way to go back. Trust me.... Make the trip out there. Thanks 247 crew for making a great experience for my wife and I. read more

Cafe 247 - Cheese Curds with Caramel Sauce!!!! - American Near Me - Lucerne Valley, California

Cafe 247 is an American gem in the rough. ALL American industry is founded upon slavery, ...so, of course, Cafe 247 is no exemption. Some of the founding fathers advocated for Universal Basic Income, as opposed to slavery, because slavery is not sustainable. Some of the founding fathers were concerned that by investing in slavery instead of each other, all America would ever produce is slaves and masters. Most people, particularly Americans, rotate between slave and master, depending on the situation and circumstance, to survive. ...bringing me, the ancestor of a slave and master, to the firepit of Cafe 247. Outside looking in, Cafe 247 appears to be unwelcoming to someone like me, "woke", aware of myself, my surroundings, the country that I served, and the country that has captured me, taking me from the west coast of Africa, to work the stolen land of America. Cafe 247 does bare the "Let's Go Brandon" flag outside, a "Make America Great Again" sticker on the front door, and such. I had to practice what I preach, as we are ALL racist, to not judge this book by the cover, because inside, we are more alike than different, and Cafe 247 is no exception. I mustered the courage to stroll into Cafe 247 with my afro and combat boots after a long day's work. Cafe 247 is located at the junction of highways 18 and 247, hence the name. Cafe 247 is perhaps the most visible business in Lucerne Valley, and rightly so. As Cafe 247 is in a desert, there is plenty of parking. Outside there are pool tables, a barbeque pit, a live music stage, and plenty of outdoor seating. Inside, and it is what is inside that counts, ...I encountered the nicest, friendliest staff that I have ever encountered in a burger joint. The smell of barbeque hangs in the air, and after two visits, I am determined to try the barbeque raved about by other patrons on my third visit. The burger I had on the first visit was so good that I had to get another. The prices are fair, and I was happy to support a local small business. The decor of Cafe 247 is cool, with license plates on the walls, fused with great rock n' roll music, and a motorcycle in the dining room. *(Rock N' Roll was created by black people) The one complaint... the flies. The flies must be attracted to Cafe 247 because it is the sh*t. The food is delicious, fresh, and made with care and quickly. I highly recommend anyone, and I do mean anyone... "..regardless of their race, creed, or color is treated equally and afforded the same..." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ...great customer service and quality meal. Thank you to the owner(s), management, and staff for providing a memorable meal, and reminding me that we are all just human, at our best, and worst. With Love, Rojo read more

We were on our way to Joshua Tree NP. Came to an intersection they were located at and the aroma was soooo nice. We were hungry so we turned around and parked in lot . People started a line so we thought why not. Outside dining , banana bread man was selling breadthey had a live band outside, and of course the smoker! People are so friendly there. They have a large menu. We got the sampler platter. So much food and a great deal. Don't be worried it looks like a biker bar. Lots of families with kids, loud music , great food and fun . Best BBQ we had in a long time. read more

Great music good food dancing friendships Have lots of different bands on weekends little flea market . Employees are nice . Great place to stop into i whilst in Lucerne Valley read more

Must stop! Very, very cool. We came on a day they were not doing BBQ, we were bummed. The burgers seemed like they had gluten in them. They were not appearing or tasting like all beef, and the chicken strips were not real pieces of chicken. That's my only issue. But on a hot day the coke was cold, the fries were perfect and we enjoyed the stop along the way read more

I was looking for a quick bite of food. Told a burger would take 20 minutes. I was told I could get a sandwich in five minutes. I tipped $5 on a $10 sandwich at the time of payment for this service. 20 minutes later when I inquired where my sandwich was, I was told to "hold on sweety, it will be a few more minutes". I left after 25 minutes without my sandwich. read more

Beautiful people and whatever I have ordered it always came back exactly like it should have beginning to end all people were friendly and answered every question I had every time thanks 247 I'm sure that I am going their again.and good food to what ever I asked they seemed ok about everything and food people were excellent there thanks will come back often read more

Hidden gem that we found driving to Big Bear. It was a Saturday afternoon and this place was jumping. Live music and delicious BBQ, nice people and great atmosphere. The BBQ is probably the best we have had in SoCal - cooked to perfection, juicy and melting in your mouth. The fried pickles are to die for! The experience was one of a kind and will definitely be back! read more
