John's Place - Double cheeseburger with onion rings Bomb - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

It's an old school diner. Stopped in for breakfast. Everyone was welcoming. Service was great. Food was home cooked. Pricing fair for what we ordered. I had the sausage patty and eggs with biscuits and gravy and home fries. Coffee kept coming. Definitely have cash because we paid with card and no option to tip and when we asked cash tips only. read more

Yummy burgers, friendly service! Perfect late night diner after a long day of traveling!

Best burger in town! Service is always quick. Ambiance is always nice I love sitting at their outside patio area.

When the hell did you have to make five figures to afford to eat here it's completely sad the prices have gone cut out of the roof on top of that to charge for cheese two dollar avocado might as well go grocery shopping before coming here bring your own toppings not to mention when you ask him to not put thousand island on your burger they give you a handful of it sorry John's place you completely lost your touch (pov:end of meal) waitress asks,how was your meal Bf reply's, it was mediocre we said no thousand island on the burger and you put thousand island waitress, oh that was my bad here's the full total $32+ Lmao this is exactly what I told my boyfriend at the end of the day this is why we should've just went to All Star or Applebee's hahah read more

John's Place - Jr burger - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Service is lacking. Use to love coming here, going back into the early 90s even. I feel the staff here don't pay attention when it comes to making the orders correclty. The food is sometimes good. I like their fried zuccini and onion rings. The breakfast is good. Can get busy on the weekends. Has an ok vibe to it. read more

Love this food. Fried zucchini is the best I ever had. I don't live close, so when I'm in this area I always stop here.

I've ate here a few times when in town visiting my sister. Their food is always good and fresh. We've done breakfast and dinner here. Always good service. No need to dress up and get fancy it's like a Primo Burger type place. So even if you get off work you can come, after church, any occasion. Prices are not a rip off either like everything else in 2024. It's our go to when in town. read more

Service is super slow here. Took about 30 mins to take our order. And about the same to pay. The person working the counter also works the floor, so that's problematic. We live in the area and probably won't be back. Also, it was a Monday, so the place isn't hurting for business. read more

Classic American breakfast with excellent service. You can be seated to be served or order at the counter. Breakfast Lunch and Dinner with plenty options but not recommended if you're looking for health food. read more

John's Place - 3 egg Denver omelet with hash browns. Spinach Swiss omelet with fresh fruit. - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Normally we love burgers from John's Place, but this time was pretty bad. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger medium and as I ate, it was pink, not my favorite but I can deal. Once I got to the middle it was mushy, raw, and cold. On top of that it was very greasy, the bread was soggy, lettuce not crisp or fresh and generally just not appetizing. Pretty disappointing since John's Place used to be on of our favorites. read more

John's Place - This was supposed to be a medium burger. It was raw and cold in the middle. - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

The food is always amazing here. The chefs know what they're doing! The burgers are bomb!

I've been eating here for years, usually for breakfast although I do remember getting good sandwiches here too. It's popular with both locals and visitors. This last visit, I got a Greek omelette, which had tons of vegetables and was quite good. This came with hash browns, which were nice and crispy but soft and still potatoey on the outside, and biscuits and gravy. All was good. I'm a bit picky about biscuits and gravy because I usually have them homemade when I visit family, so I would characterize these as being good biscuits and gravy for a restaurant. The food takes a while to come out because it's not a fast food restaurant and everything is made to order. But it comes out super hot, always a good sign, and it tastes good. Service was good and friendly and attentive. read more

My family and I enjoyed John's Place while in Yucca Valley. I don't normally do reviews, but my daughter begged me to write one because she said her waffle was the best waffle she had ever eaten. My daughter gets waffle everywhere we go. All of us enjoyed our food. But the waffle was a great hit. Service was great and the staff was friendly thank you John's read more

The ambiance is of a typical diner, this place appears clean and has great lighting. The food is good. I usually get burgers here, chicken fried steak, or some type of breakfast. I wish they had a better soup selection, but the menu is still good. Service is fine. There are days when it's great and days when it's lacking, but overall it's decent. read more

Great food, great service, a hidden gem, definitely coming back! The burgers hit the spot.

great place small but full pastrami burger was perfect cooked to your desired doneness thick burger

Always good food. Great local joint with attentive servers, generous portions and an overall good vibe. Very fair prices. Excellent Breakfasts and Dinners are always good, too! read more

Okay nightmare time at lunch. A group of about 50 people came in (French tourists). Server spilt several drinks on the people at the table behind us, employees just stood there.....I suggested a dry chairs and table to the group. FYI: groups server was the manager and they ordered ahead. Our hamburger was ordered as bacon hamburger(not Childs), fried pickles and two sodas. We were not given silverware and one of two sodas. Then when we received the hamburger it was a CHILD BURGER PATTY an over cooked. They remade it correctly OMG If you try it, bring aspirin, silverware .... read more

John's Place - Like an Old fashion Diner - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

One of the most horrible dining experiences of my life. The food was good but it may have been because we were so desperate for a hot meal after evacuating from unprecedented fire conditions in LA only to deal with power outages and driving around town for hours looking for somewhere open. Once power was restored, there was a small rush which I guess was significant for a small place like this in a small town. Within 2 minutes of arriving, the manager yelled at 4 different guests about table seating arrangements. She was clearly stressed so I let it slide when she yelled at me for simply asking if we could have a seat at an empty table. Ironically the white board in front had a sign that said "welcome, have a seat and we will be with you shortly". We ordered our food and had to wait about 30 minutes to receive it. Fine. We were thankful. Then the power shuts off right before the food arrives. These people aggressively start yelling out that they can only take cash. Luckily we had cash. The table next to us on the other hand did not and figured they could grab cash at the grocery store. 15 minutes later we were all informed we had a time limit to settle our bill even with cash. When the table next to us informed the waitress one of them was going to grab cash, all hell broke loose. The rude female manager was incredibly aggressive. Seemingly accusing them of being shady. Wouldn't let them finish a sentence as they were trying to explain their confusion about the time limit to settle the bill even with cash. It was incredibly frustrating to listen to, and I was extremely tired, but I still couldn't help myself but to intervene to stop the madness. I explained to the waitress that I understood the pressure she was dealing with, but to please also understand the stress that her customers are under and that it's not their fault the power went out after they ordered their food, intending to pay with card. Everyone was apologetic and she walked away. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that when she walked away she must have complained to two male employees that she had been victimized. A true villain she clearly is. The men, one of them being the owner came in hot. Very aggressive. Almost appearing like they came to physically assault or remove the patrons. The younger man was completely unhinged and emotional whining that he had been working since 7 . Boo-hoo. The owner made some homophobic generalizations, and ultimately ripped the plates out from in front of the patrons and kicked them out. The entire interaction made me sick to my stomach Yelp would like to know what could improve. 1. The female manager could use some charm school. 2. Everybody at the establishment could use some basic problem-solving skills like. Zelle, Venmo, Or simply collecting payment upfront when they're having power issues. 3. The behavior of everyone working in the restaurant with the exception of a few of the cooks and busboys reflect a very desperate environment. The owner needs to check himself. NOBODY DESERVES TO BE TREATED THAT WAY. All this over some pancakes and zucchini fries . This place is not worthy of your business. Obviously, I'll never go to this place again. In fact, this place made us reconsider how much we like Joshua tree and the entire area. Sad read more

Food is excellent, service is outstanding. Definitely recommend. Great ambiance! Highly recommend the Ribs! read more

the food wasn't great VERY expensive no one at my table got a meal and we had appetizers and it came out to $84. No one finished their food. The fried pickles were over fried and very salty. The cheese that you pay an extra dollar for didn't look good let alone half of the slice was cooked off the burger. The costumer service wasn't great. No one came around to ask about drink refills and we were the only group there. 4 people unhappy and paid an $84 bill. I will not be going again. read more

The service was good but the food was bland. We went for breakfast because we heard good things, but maybe their lunch is better. The French toast was a little soggy and the machaca burrito needed more machaca. The egg portions were very small. read more

We visited Yucca Valley for a weekend getaway (we're from San Diego). On the way out of town we hit John's Place for breakfast. Bomb!!! (do people still say that?!! Lol) My boyfriend and I both had the John's Country Breakfast with iced tea (it was hot out)... Delicious! Best breakfast I've had in years, in fact. And at $13 per breakfast, an unbelievable deal. 3eggs, hash browns (he had home fries), ham, bacon, sausage and toast (he had a biscuit & gravy). Totally and completely hit the spot for both of us! Comfort food at its finest. We'll definitely be back! Thank you John's!! read more

In Joe Biden's economy, it's extremely difficult to find a good value when eating out anymore, but John's Place has bucked the trend. Incredible prices, pleasant atmosphere, personable and friendly service, and great food. Loved the old school Hollywood photos on the wall and the relaxed vibe. Would definitely come back. read more

We decided to stop at John's Place for lunch. We were immediately greeted and seated. The menu has a lot of fresh made to order choices and we decided to try John's Gourmet burger and a chili burger. Our burgers were cooked to order, so there is a little bit of a wait and that's okay because I didn't want fast food. Our food was served hot and fresh and that is the best! I would definitely come back to this cute little diner. read more

Terrible service! The lady with the blue hair was the rudest person I've ever met, bith in person and on the phone. The food was cold, greasy, and disgusting...to top it all off. read more

Diner style restaurant with table service as well as to go. Great food as well as great service.

I've lived in the area for 17 years. I used to come when it was old school. So when they changed the aesthetics and pricing I stopped coming. 2 weeks ago was the first time I ordered from here in at least 12 years. When I bit into my zucchini fries I tasted what seemed like detergent. I decided to give them another chance and today I chose them over C&S, never again. They got my Togo order wrong...forgetting 3 different items, causing me three round trips. The home fries which they gave me on my third trip look terrible. My 13yr old son tried to eat what looked good but has already managed to spit some out. Also, no apologies from staff. My opinion don't waste your time. read more
