Again, another good decision. The staff were friendly and helpful! We had a dog and so they let us take 2 chairs outside to eat. Thank you! The "ambience"was perfect for a late lunch as we were passing through town. I highly recommend this restaurant. As someone else said, don't let the location in a strip mall stop you.

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!

This restaurant certainly was larger than it looked from the outside. It is adorned with movie and character memorabilia that is interesting, fun, and kitschy. You never know what you'll find around the corner. We settled at a table in one of the dining rooms that had wall decor depicting Lucy & Ricky, Elvis, and other famous stars of yesteryear, etc. Our exuberant server gave us an extensive menu. She was sweet, friendly, and very attentive. Their waitress uniform capture the past very well. It's so cute & appropriate for the vibe they've established. The food came out quick & hot. It's classic comfort food that is hearty & done well. We definitely enjoyed our stop here and leaving full. We were given a ticket to get a free tootsie roll from their ice cream & gift shop. The gift shop is full of unique souvenirs and trinkets. It was fun browsing but had to be on our way. We plan on returning. I'm be star off because their restrooms need some major attention; either a good scrub or complete renovation.

Plenty of seating and only two people ahead of us to order at the counter at 9 a.m. Within 20! Minutes about 4 other parties showed up at the same time. Though they did not have my first choice of posole today, I thoroughly enjoyed the chorizo and eggs with beans and potatoes and corn tortillas. (4/5) My husband ordered the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs and red sauce. (3.5/5). They have a salsa bar with sliced limes and cut radishes/cucumbers for you to pick up as desired. Delicious! I particularly liked the spicy salsa. While they were making the food, I ran across the street to get a photo of the world's tallest thermometer. lol The portions were huge!! We took our leftovers to go. Plenty of street parking and seating inside and it was a perfect little roadside cafe.

The broth was full of MSG and I was extremely disappointed. The iced coffee was incredibly bitter and gave a bad taste for hours after. Over $100 dollars for gross food and small portions. Service was lazy. It took 30 minutes to reheat the prepackaged slop and they didn't even bring the food 20 feet to us. Chopsticks were weak, and the lady up front had a hard time listening to my order and questions. Ambiance was cheap. Dollar store artwork all over and inexpensive chairs, plastic spoons, and paper plates. Very crammed at the front with $35 labubu kid toys and they don't even have a soda serving machine. This place is a waste of your money and I would highly recommend finding a decent place to take your business. Thank you for ruining my Valentine's Day dinner, Ate8 Noodle House.

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.

The last time I'd been out to Barstow and stopped at Oggi's, was about 9 years ago. My family went…read morethere and the food was actually relatively good. This time was quite different. My wife liked the tortilla soup, but the spaghetti and meatballs wear subpar. Now I guess, I shouldn't expect good Italian food from basically a sports bar but I'll have to say it just was relatively bland. I ordered the habanero pineapple boneless wings thinking they would be spicy-- they were not. Now I will admit, I've gotten used to hot sauce so maybe that's why they weren't that spicy. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be soft, but the boneless wings were not crispy, maybe the sauce made the better soft. But, I did not like it, I was expecting more crispy. But again, maybe is this is the way that they're served. The ambience is okay it's a sports bar. Kind of small as well but very busy. The service was great. I was greeted within less than 2 minutes from sitting down, and I had multiple servers taking care of my table. So definitely they're not lacking in service. I just think since the last time I went there and this time the quality of food has diminished.

When I went inside the store, I felt the warmth of the staff. They are all polite and friendly, that includes the shoppers as well. I bought some snacks for the family for our 2 nights stay in LV (for the Bruno Mars Concert) The healthy snacks I bought almost got finished and we aren't even in our hotel room yet. The snacks I bought were all delicious and fresh. Anyway, on our way back to SD we stopped over again. I bought big packs of Macadamia nuts, cashew nuts, dried Kiwi, dried pineapple. I got addicted eating the nuts and the dried fruits; as of today, 'think there is only one serving left. I tried to check their website to check if I can order online, but it seems I can't. I was joking to my son if he can drive me there to get my favorite snacks (he laughed.) How I wish they can offer an online service. For those who are heading to Vegas, stop by to this place. I am recommending this place, it's a place where you can relax, and feel amazingly comfortable.

Biggest gas station in California, you find that there's plenty of people that take a rest stop here before continuing on the road. Inside has plenty of vendors including ice cream, coffee, and a whole selection of candy, snacks, etc. There's also plenty of souvenirs that you can purchase for memories. Restrooms are clean and plentiful in stalls. Love that inside is very spacious and outside is spacious as well. They're not 24/7, so plan accordingly, 6:00 AM - 12:00 AM (Next day). Another draw to EddieWorld is a supercharger station next to the gas station, competitive charging rates at $0.43/kWh and 18 accessible superchargers. Highly recommend this spot to take a rest stop during any road trips.

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.

We had been on the road for a few hours and wanted to get something to eat! The last time I visited the Mad Greek was about 20 years ago, on my way to Anaheim to visit the ADP HQ. It was good back then, and the food is still great! As soon as you walk inside the restaurant, you'll notice how spacious it is. There was table seating inside the restaurant in various locations. There is now self service kiosks where you can place your order, but there was also a team member at the register taking orders too. Their menu has changed though since I last visited. There are a lot more options you can choose from such as Breakfast items: Burritos, quesadillas and more! Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers Sandwiches (Patty Melt, BLT, Grilled cheese..) Salads Milkshakes and so much more! We decided to try the following Beef & Lamb Gyro Meal Combo - Rice/Drink Chicken Souviaki - with hummus, no tomatoes and with Feta Fries/Drink. The team member provided us with a buzzer which would let us know when the meal was ready. It was beautiful weather outside, around 80, so we ended up waiting outside at a table while our meal was getting prepared! We didn't wait too long either, about 10 minutes for the meal. It was pretty quick! My Chicken Souviaki included two skewers with lettuce and onions. The hummus was in a cup, so I was able to add as much of the hummus to the wrap as I needed. The hummus was more like a thin sauce though. It was still yummy! The chicken was quite flavorful and tender. I enjoyed the wrap. The Feta Fries though were super scrumptious! There was so much feta cheese on the Fries! I ended up dipping the French Fries into the hummus sauce! The French Fries were crunchy and just perfect! My husband and I ended up splitting the Feta Fries. I also had a chance to try out the rice, which was good, but I did like the Feta Fries better. We spent less than 30 minutes inside the restaurant, and then was back on the road to Las Vegas! The team members were helpful and friendly. The food was great. This would be my go to spot if I am looking for a quick meal at Bakersfield again!
