Not too far after you leave Mojave, where obviously there's a bunch of fast food options but this was a nice change. We had a couple burgers and fries and everything was pretty tasty, but we would've loved like a handful more fries. They had a pretty solid menu overall and definitely worth the stop for sure!

Locals were sitting outside at the bar and at picnic tables near the outdoor grill where the owner was cooking up amazing burgers made from fresh ground chuck that he said he goes to a local butcher for. The burgers patties are formed upon ordering and cooked fresh with grilled onions, melty cheese on a fresh brioche bun. The burgers were piping hot and so delicious. The fries are super crispy and delicious too! The owners were so friendly and engaging. This place is a bit out of the way but absolutely worth it!!

Crest Donuts brings back my earliest memories from childhood up through to me studying all night…read morehere in here school before heading off to find my path. Almost 20 years later, nothing has changed. It's still the cash only 24/7 donut shop that I remember. The donut racks are always stocked, and there's a variety of muffins, sandwiches, smoothies, coffee and cold drinks to serve the community's cravings. When you need something different, you can also get some Siapo! (a steamed bun with your choice of sweet and sticky filling). Crest donuts is a staple of Ridgecrest, CA serving everybody from Early morning truckers to late night students.

CASH ONLY!! Stopped…read moreby for some donuts and discovered I hadn't brought cash or my debit card (there's a Bank of America ATM a few doors down). The sweet Asian woman behind the counter saw me struggling to find cash and said she would just give me the dozen donuts. I was shocked by her kindness and promised to come back with cash later in the day. She kept reassuring me that it was okay and that I didn't need to. When I came back a few hours later on my lunch break, she was surprised and tried not to take the extra tip I had given. She was just so genuinely sweet and kind and I would definitely come back to support her. Now, onto the donuts. I got a mixed dozen and immediately was hit by how delicious they smelled. I pulled out a twisted glazed donut and before I knew it, I had inhaled it. The donut was so light and fluffy with an actual crisp to the outside and the perfect amount of glaze on top. I think I actually like it more than Krispy Kreme and it was one of the freshest and most delicious donuts I've had in a while. My mouth is watering thinking of it now. Everyone at work loved the rest of the donuts from the mix. Come support Krispy Donuts! I know I'll be back when I'm in town next. :)

We came across this gas station and not only that. We were able to find some hot chicken and thee best potato wedges ever. I believe Chester's Chicken is a big deal in Trona with the small towns residents and travelers. The few folks working there were so cheerful. I just wish we asked a few more questions from the locals. It's always a plus. We filled up on gas , sat and ate in our vechile not only that we went back in for some honey buttered biscuits. I devoured those on the road to furnace creek city. On the return trip back to Los Angeles as I cannot check in twice. We filled up on gas, restroom and bought a few souvenirs.
