GETTING HERE:…read more Located in Yermo on the 15. You can't miss it! :-) REVIEW: We finally stopped to Peggy Sue's! For the last 25+ years I've driven by Peggy Sue's to/fro Vegas and I ^always tell myself that on the next visit to Vegas I will stop here. We finally did. It was amazing! Kicking myself for waiting so long. 4/5 stars for the food. 5/5 stars for the ambience. And the service was also a solid five out of five! The memorabilia and the decor inside is beyond words. If you love old-school Hollywood and old-school, Vegas, you have got to prioritize a stop here. Come by and see Peggy Sue's, and see if you can also see Elvis!

The server, Candi was very friendly and quick to come take our order. There was a large party ahead of us and she was sure to tell us but ensured our food would be out as soon as possible. Luckily it really didn't take long at all. Both of our food came out delicious and hot. The service was great, and we grabbed a delicious brownie to share on the way out. Definitely recommend.

UPDATE!!!! Jesse, the district manager of the Black Bear Diner reached out to me after my initial…read morereview and told me to come back so that they could make it right. And they did! The service was exemplary. The food was great, and it was a great overall dining experience. I get everybody has a bad or off day. And in this case Black Bear Diner made it right. Which in this day and age of throw away customers and compliments means a lot. I will definitely be coming back to this. Black Bear Diner and I have upgraded my review to a solid 4! Wow. That was underwhelming. I like Black Bear diner, I've been going to them for a long time, and as I was heading back to Las Vegas I thought I would stop here and grab a bite to eat as I have always had a great experience there. Well this time, it was an exception to the rule. It was busy so I was not too concerned about the wait time, which was minimal, and they got me seated pretty quickly. Quickly. I like the little newspaper style menus as they were fun to look at and interesting to read while you waited for your server. I already knew I was going to get the mini volcano, as it just sounded like the perfect combination of stuff for me to eat for breakfast. The waitress came by, really didn't look at me, which was odd. And went back to put it in. She came back with my coffee and said the order was in. Should only be a moment. This was great news cuz I was ready to eat and get back on the road. The food came to the table and it looked appetizing enough, they had the two pancakes and my fried egg on top and a piece of bacon and a link of sausage. Flanking the pancakes with a nice garnish of an orange slice on a lettuce bed. Here's the problem. Everything was lukewarm now it did come out pretty fast which was surprising to me that it wasn't really hot. But literally everything on the plate felt like it was sitting in a dish in the back with a warmer waiting just to be built. The pancakes there are usually really good this time. They were terrible. I was very very sad about this cuz I really like their pancakes a lot. The egg was cooked well but again it was lukewarm at best. Same with the sausage and the bacon. The sadder thing was the flavor just wasn't there. Normally they have some personality to it, but these felt contrived and run of the mill. Now. I don't know if they, like Everyone else is having to downgrade and downsize because of the cost of everything, but whatever it was it was not working for me. Again, I will say that I like Black Bear Diners but the one in Barstow I will be avoiding every time I drive through. This is sad, and I hope that someone in corporate reads this because it would be great to have this restaurant be top notch when you're driving between Orange county and Las Vegas or vice versa. Bottom line? I seriously doubt that I'll ever come back here. Which is a bummer, because I am a big fan of this particular chain. There are plenty of other great eating establishments in the Barstow area. So this one I would kind of drive past. ************* Response to Black Bear Diner Corporate Thank you for your heartfelt response. In fact, it was one of the nicest chat GPT responses I've read this week. At least you got my name in there which was a nice touch and made it feel more personal, however, when you forget to put your email in there for me to respond to, that leads me to believe you really don't care. Thank you for the response albeit a very perfunctory one.

Hello, First off, I…read morehave to say that we absolutely love your place! We have been customers for several years. I feel like we need to bring this to your attention. Me and my husband, along with the a group of friends were in your place of business last Saturday night to watch Red Rabbit, who we love and follow. Around 12 or 1230 we noticed some commotion at the bar. Much to our surprise, your "new manager" was causing quite the issue with his boyfriend. Earlier in the night, he seemed to be actually managing the bar, however, at this time he was what seemed to be belligerent drunk. This went on for some time, even continuing out to the patio with customers trying to end the chaos. He was cussing, yelling at his boyfriend and demanding the Bartender serve him another drink. Once his boyfriend, was able to get him to leave, we even witnessed him punching a chair on his way out of the bar! I don't know the owners of this bar. I think they would like to know what happens when they are not there. This place used to be a great place to hang out with family and friends. This is not the first time we've witnessed drunk behavior from this manager. I have to say,, your Bar has a couple really good bartenders. And that is a reason we continue to come back. If this is the way the new vibe is in this bar, we will find another place to hang out. I truly hope that it gets handled. It is not fair to the customers, nor the rest of your staff.

We chatted with our waitress about the upcoming events being hosted such as country night, karaoke night etc. Sounds like a lot of fun.

It was a Saturday morning around 9:30ish and was surprised it wasn't that busy. We found a booth and saw we had to scan a QR code for the menu. OK, I admit, I hate that. Then they had instructions to download the app to place your order. I assume this was put in place for COVID. Finally, a waitress came over and said she'll take our order. Thank goodness! I ordered French Toast with sausage patties, which I totally prefer over links but it's so rare to find them on the menu, and my partner had a breakfast burrito. The food arrived fairly quick and it was perfect. I'm not into fancy breakfast foods so keep is simple and I'm happy. The breakfast burrito was HUGE and my partner wasn't able to finish it. The entire breakfast with coffee was about $40, which I felt was very reasonable by today's standards. We both mentioned how we recently went to famous SoCal fast food hamburger joint (not In-and-Out) and it was $30 for 2 people, and not as good. Our service was super friendly, and we felt welcome there. Along with good food, this might be our regular breakfast stop when driving to Vegas.

We ate both dinner and breakfast the next morning and both were great. Burgers very fresh and fries hot and crispy. And I always love it when a restaurant offers chicken and waffles.

There were 5-6 other people there at the same time as us and we were not close together at all. It was also very quiet. So glad we stumbled upon them!

First, this is a cafe in the middle of the desert. It has a lot of history, which you can find out…read moreabout on their website. My wife and I ate here for Valentine's day. It had been about 9 years since I've been here, but nothing's changed. It's very nostalgic, the food is great and the service is fast even though it gets really crowded around lunch. My wife had a cheeseburger with no onions and I had the chicken sandwich with no onions both were excellent. The ambience is unbelievable. It's reminiscent of an Old Ranch feed House. Cut this place is definitely for people that ride motorcycles or dune buggies or quads. I had been coming to this place on and off for over 48 years. As you might expect it's a little on the pricey side however you have to remember that you are in the middle of the desert, literally. When my friend from Japan came last year, he wanted to go out there that's how famous this place is. Try it if you get a chance, you won't regret it. They open around 8:00 on Saturday and they are only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I forgot to mention, this place is great for kids. And they had a live band playing which is fantastic since you have lots of outside seating.

Saturday, 3/14/2026 - We stopped by Barstow Burger on our way home. Address is 1507 E Main St,…read moreBarstow, CA 92311. We decided to try a different burger joint vs the typical In-N-Out, McD, Burger King, Carl's, Jack, etc. Boy am I glad we stopped by here. Pros 1) they had a Burger menu, as well as other Mexican food dishes and desserts on the board. Love the variety! 2) restaurant looked clean. I didn't see any dirty tables, trash on the floor, or sticky counters. 3) cashier, Andrea, was very nice. 4) we got the grilled cheese sandwich ($3.99), mushroom burger ($6.50), and a combo which is a bacon burger with added cheese & fries ($10.99). If you add cheese, it's an additional $0.85. For something so simply and normal, these were delicious. Burgers were so juicy, bread soft, meat good, and flavorful. Little one loved the grilled cheese sandwich. Fries were made perfectly. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and seasoned with salt perfectly. Made me think I should have tried a Mexican dish instead of the mushroom burger. Lol If a burger can be that good, the Mexican dish must be even better. 5) no soft music here. Restaurant is very quiet. The customers who arrived were all very quiet. 6) love how as soon as Andrea see someone come to the counter, she immediately walks to the register to take orders. 7) it's our 1st time there and she didn't rush us or give us an attitude, while ee were still deciding what to order because there were quite a few stuff on the menu. 8) nice large parking lot. Cons 1) bathroom was closed due to them just mopping the floor. But I understand that. Sometimes you want to clean stuff up so you can close and head home after. Versus staying late to clean. Conclusion We actually were very impress with the foods we ordered here. So good and juicy. No complaints. Andrea was very professional. I forgot to take pictures of our foods because it was that good. Plus we ordered to go and ate in the dark in our car. Lol I recommend this restaurant if you're on the move and need a quick grab. We had no issue.

I felt that other foods elsewhere taste better than here. There was so many waiting in line and also waiting for there foods. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. The hype of the chili burger isn't even that awesome. It was a waste of my 2 hours plus for the foods that taste like cafeteria foods from school. It felt so suffocating waiting for our foods since there's so many already who ordered and waiting for there foods.The lighting was bright and it's pretty spacious but felt pretty off with everyone still waiting for there foods for hours. Its very chaotic while several ladies was going nuts because of the wait. While they were complaining to staff when are their foods coming out. We almost got are foods sooner but them ladies when off on the staff for waiting x amount of hours and still didn't get the orders yet. We ended up having to wait until 10:33pm to get all our orders. We requested to get french fries first which was around 10:13pm. But mind you we been here waiting since 8:04pm for the whole order. We finally took our first bite at 10:38pm. We left the restaurant by 10:59pm/11pm. The fries we requested at around 10:13pm was hot and fresh. By the time our whole order was ready to be called for us to pick up at the front counter. The batch of fries we had in the box was already cold & old which tasted soggy and nasty. I don't understand how it wasn't even fresh at all since we were like the last few 10 customers left out of a few hundred after the 5pm - 7pm slot was over. We landed in the 8pm slot with only about 10 customers left or so. I really don't understand the disorganized staff and the orders wasn't coming out on time in an orderly manner. The foods wasn't even completely fresh for the customers to consume. They don't even have an intercom to call out the numbers for the customers to pick up their orders. So everyone was shouting the numbers out. The customers was greedy as well who ordered multiple foods on different receipts. There was some who had stacks of receipts just for the chili burgers alone. We came here for the chili burgers(8), fries(4), Extra Large drinks(2), and an ice cream(1). Most people only came here for the chili burgers only. The cash register lady told us we can purchase a multiple of 10 burgers per receipts. We only got 8 chili burgers since everyone was hypeing how great it was. It was just a big fat disappointment. I can get better at another fast food joint. The chili burgers alone had so little bites of ground meat in it. I literally thought it would be on the chunky side but nope. The beef patty was small like the size of a hamburger at McDonald's. The buns is the only thing that was big which made the burgers looked big. They only put so little chili on each burgers as well. So the ingredients to me personally seems a bit on the cheaper side not worth the time and effort. I really don't understand how people hype how good their burgers are. The burgers and fries did not taste as fresh as I thought it would be. Everyone who's exaggerated about the chili burgers need to rethink it again. There are better burgers that taste way better and a bigger portion. My overall experience was definitely not that wonderful. I personally would not recommend this restaurant in general. The staff wasn't all that nice and friendly. The disorganized staff. The food was not coming out in an orderly manner. There was no intercom to call out your number. Everyone waited too long for their orders. They should had capped the multiple transactions for customers to only one per visit. Then again everyone was so greedy. I just wondered if they all going to eat it in one sitting. We couldn't even finish all our foods which we took the rest home for later in the week. I know we were greedy too but at least we did not had multiple receipts. The food was not completely fresh eventhough we waited for hours for the foods. You literally thought since they were busy shouldn't the foods be hot and fresh too. I'm thinking we literally got others leftovers when they made a mistake for other people ordered. I really am hoping it's not what I'm thinking. After we got back home I had a tummy ache. I ended up having a massive diarrhea. It's a good thing I made it home before it ended up on myself. I'm thinking the chili kicked in. I will not come back here again at all. But you never know I might change my mind in the future. You can give them a try. Be your own judge. Eat at your own RISK. As of now it's a no go for me!!
