A Little Mexican Food Gem in the Middle of Nowhere!…read more Okay, Barstow... you surprised us! We stumbled upon this charming little Mexican restaurant tucked inside a La Quinta hotel, which is probably not where we expected to find such a delicious and authentic meal! We stopped in for Sunday brunch and were so glad we did. The staff was friendly and welcoming, everything was clean, and the food was the real star of the show. We had chile verde, pozole, and homemade tortillas--and those tortillas were SO good! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and homemade. They also had an omelette bar, plus some very tempting churros and donuts for those who believe breakfast should end with dessert. (We do.) Honestly, this was such a fun little find in an unexpected place. If you're road-tripping through Barstow, this is absolutely a place to put on your list. Whether you're heading between LA and Vegas or just passing through, it's worth making the stop. Great food, great staff, clean surroundings, and a surprisingly authentic Mexican brunch in the middle of nowhere! Travelers: save this one! You may not expect to find a food gem inside a hotel in Barstow, but this one is definitely worth the detour.

One chunk of Guac on a chip flew off the table and onto my shorts. But the Guac tasted good, as did the melted cheese. I then had the Two Protein Fajitas, selecting shrimp and chicken, to go with bell peppers. They were very good slipped into included Flour Tortillas. Black Beans tasted good but rice was dry. Unfortunately Diane's entree of a 12 oz. Ribeye Steak was just riddled with fat and not even Choice grade beef. Accompanying Mashed Potatoes were good. We received excellent, friendly service.

(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.

However the tortillas were lukewarm and were difficult to chew. The burrito was good but nothing special. Salsa was provided in a small container which had to be requested and chips and salsa were not provided with the meal like most Mexican restaurants. Prices were a bit above what you would expect to pay for Mexican food so failure to provide chips and salsa with the meal seemed a bit cheap. This is not to say I wouldn't patronize the restaurant but slight improvements are suggested.

The atmosphere hits the perfect balance between cozy, retro, and vibrant. From the moment you walk in, the moody lighting, detailed tropical decor, and intimate setting set an incredible vibe that instantly makes you feel like you've escaped to a secret oasis. It is ideal for catching up with friends, starting off a night out, or enjoying a relaxed evening drink. Beyond the fantastic ambiance, the service is top-notch. The staff and bartenders are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They are always happy to recommend options based on your taste, and the attention to detail in every cocktail really shows. The drinks themselves are expertly crafted, balanced, and beautifully presented--you can tell real thought goes into the menu. Whether you are looking for classic tiki flavors or unique craft creations, everything served is flavorful and high quality. The small bites are equally impressive and pair wonderfully with the drink selection. Having gone twice now, Bootlegger Tiki has officially earned a permanent spot on my go-to list whenever I'm looking for great drinks, wonderful service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. I already cannot wait to go back for round three--highly recommended to anyone looking for a fantastic night out on Palm Canyon Drive!

Glowing red & decked out in typical tiki bar decor, Bootlegger Tiki's drink menu, like many of its kind, is rum heavy. The two drinks I tried -- Blackbeard's Booty with coconut cream & citrus notes, as well as Donn Beach 1934 Zombie with warming spices -- felt like they were lighting my esophagus on fire. Not enjoyable to drink, but perhaps I've always been biased against cocktails that are both too sweet & too strong on the liquor taste. Chill bartenders who did their best to recommend things we would like, but in the end, this spot is one-and-done in my book.

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.

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.

It seems like Board & Brew has been around forever, yet I'd never been, so when a friend suggested…read morewe meet there for lunch I figured it was about time I check the place out. There is an ample amount of outdoor seating and there's also plenty of seating inside. It's a very laid back kind of environment, definitely giving off beach day vibes. The food menu is up on the wall as you come in. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table when it's ready. When we arrived at 11AM there was plenty of open seating and only one other person placing an order. But by the time we were leaving tho, the place was PACKED! Every table both inside and outside was occupied. I would have never imagined Board & Brew was THIS popular! Ordering was quick and easy and our orders came up pretty quickly. Both the cashier and person who bought us our food were friendly and efficient. My friend and I both ordered the Beef Dip sandwich. Somehow I've managed to go through life with never having tried horseradish, so I requested that it came on the side. Okay, well, I was NOT expecting the heat to go right up to my nose ~ phew!! Even so, it went really well with the beef dip. The roll itself was crunch yet fluffy in all the right places. As is, I would have preferred it to have more beef, but as a whole it was still pretty tasty. Perhaps next time I'll see about getting extra meat. So now I know why they've been around forever. The vibe is easy going, the service is on point, and the food is very good.
