Pit Stop Bar & Grill - Summer Menu: BLT Chicken Wrap

Staff were nice, dogs allowed inside, enclosed patio in the back…read more I didn't eat but would come back for drinks

(4.25 STARS)…read more Memorial Day road trips always seem to create the best random discoveries, and Pit Stop Bar & Grill absolutely delivered. Tucked away off Victor Street in Barstow, this was a fun find while driving back to Los Angeles from Vegas over Memorial Day weekend. Big props to Haley M., who was basically running a one-woman show and somehow kept the entire place moving with a great attitude and solid service. That alone made the stop memorable. The location has a cool, laid-back vibe with plenty to keep people entertained while grabbing food and drinks. They've got two billiards tables, a dart board, and all kinds of classic bar games, board games, and card games, including UNO, which is a family favorite. They also have several televisions. The food was all good too. I really enjoyed the Green Chili Burger, and everyone else in my party seemed genuinely happy with their meals as well. I felt they were trying to nickel and dime when I got the bill, i was charged for a side of ranch, a side of BBQ, and had no idea I was being up charged for the onion rings. I didn't say a word, but it hit wrong with me. .75 points deducted. What especially stood out to me, though, was the Memorial Day place setting displayed near the front entrance honoring our veterans and fallen heroes. It was simple, respectful, and genuinely touching. See my picture. That detail said a lot about the heart behind this place. If you're making the Vegas-to-LA drive and want something more memorable than the usual freeway fast-food stop, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great atmosphere, friendly energy, and one of those spots you end up talking about later.

So this is the original location of the very first Del Taco. I believe it opened up originally in…read morethe early 1960's The food was actually really good, there was a round kid and I think his Mom making Tacos and burgers and I think they said they are open until they run out of food. Again, the food was good and the service was great. In your way to Vegas you should stop and check this out. It was KOOL thinking about how the old two lanes highway in front of this restaurant was the way to Vegas. There was no interstate 15. I wonder how many times my grandma and grandpa stoped here or did they just drive right by! SO KOOL !!

Just beyond EddieWorld is a local run down burger stand. It may look deserted, but I assure you…read moreit's still operational. If you're tired of the tourist crowds and lines at EddieWorld, I recommend this place for the convenience. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with fries based on the friendly guy's recommendation inside the order window. The $14.00 price was reasonable. Service was slow, though. I guess it's because he's the only guy there taking orders and making the food. By the time I took a bite of the pastrami sandwich, the wait was worth it. The taste is what you'd expect from a "typical" pastrami sandwich made fresh. I've had some phenomenal pastramis in my lifetime, and when I say "typical", it's a complement.

Located in Big Bear Lake, Tiffany's Bistro is a popular establishment for both locals and tourists…read moreto dine while listening to live music. This restaurant is inside Chateau Big Bear and features a 57-foot ornate Tiffany dome. On this evening, my family and I got to see pianist Mike Cross perform blues music along with a drummer and bassist. Mike was very friendly, and we got to exchange greetings after the show. We got the chicken marsala, spaghetti bolognese, and Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken marsala came as a big portion with a lot of mashed potatoes along with steamed carrots and charred broccoli. It was delicious with the rich and savory marsala wine sauce. Also, I never realized that charred broccoli can be so tasty. Service was a little spotty as it took long to flag a server for drink refills. Otherwise, this was overall an enjoyably memorable dining experience with my family.

The apple cranberry salad was excellent and tasted very fresh. The steak was very tender, and the herb crusted salmon with pilau rice was solid as well. The ambience was lively without being overwhelming, and the beautiful elaborate glass dome really makes the space feel special. Service was great throughout the evening. Attentive, warm, and present without being pushy or constantly interrupting the meal. Overall, a very good dinner and a spot I'd happily come back to when in Big Bear Lake.

(3.5 Stars Rounded Up) We celebrated my bachelorette party last weekend in Big Bear and came here…read morefor lunch. That was our first mistake as the wait time was very long (an hour), so I would recommend getting here early in the day. Once we were inside, the restaurant had a cozy feel. I thought that the food was really yummy and they work with any requests you might have. The crushed ice in the drink was sublime. However, the service was a little lackluster, but I can chalk it up to being because it was a busy Saturday afternoon. Again, to reiterate my earlier recommendation, I would get here early as they were already sold out of a lot of the pastries. Do note down that there is an auto-grat on their checks for what I'm assuming groups of 6 or more (wasn't explained on the receipt). A major downside to this restaurant is that it is cash only. With all being said, I would still love to come back and visit.

It's been such a long time since I was last here. Last time we've had brunch and it was great. The…read moremeal was quite tasty and the staff were great. This time it was for something simple. Twice within a day..lol... Started off picking up coffee and tea as they were the only thing open in town. Good for a touristy place that they were the only thing to be open early. Great for us and good on them for starting the day early. I picked up some coffee and tea to start our day which even first thing, they had people starting their day with a great breakfast. That afternoon, I did remember the last time we were here that I wanted some pies. Well, I didn't pick up any last time so this visit it was a must to have. There were a few options in the display case which all sounded amazing. The winner was the mixed berries with rhubarb and apples. Wow, it was delicious. The right amount of sweetness and tartness from the berries and rhubarb. Definitely would get it again. They had them by the slice but I'm not sure if they sell it whole. While I was in, there was a phone order for a couple of slices of pies to go...lol... Must be known for them. We know what to expect with their food so that's a good thing. The place is right in the heart of the village. There's a small lot just outside but street parking is also available. Depending on the time you visit, if it's packed they do have parking lots nearby. Inside seating has the bar counter as well as some tables while patio has a good amount of tables as well. Heads up, this place is cash only. They do have an atm near the restroom if needed.
