Stopped by for a quick lunch with my family after exploring a nearby (sort of near kind of a 10min drive still) farm. It was a challenge getting into the lot from the west side because of incoming cars going super fast but luckily there's plenty of space to pull into and park since the whole lot was huge. There's no lines dividing the cars so we parked with other cars to line ourselves up. The place looks quite small, but super adorable and I feel such at home, super welcoming staff and the decorations and fall color scheme really pops your eyes to want to touch everything (but you shouldn't)! We were a large group of 8 and luckily they had a large table for us all, the staff were super nice. Christina and her son were always super helpful and attentive, it got really busy during lunch hour and they always made sure we got everything. We ordered a few dishes to share because we had breakfast not long ago, we got the fried chicken dinner, club sandwiches, and pasta with meat sauce. I enjoyed the fried chicken, super crispy, juicy and tender meat, the flavor is wonderful and not too salty. Also me and my dad appreciated the sautéed fresh vegetables instead of mushy steamed ones most places have! Shoestring fires were great I love the thin fries better! I think the dinner rolls were super soft, chewy, and fluffy, goes so well with their yellow butter. Pasta was delicious, super herby and you can tell they used plenty of vegetables and ground meat to make it hearty! The place was such a gem, I felt like we didn't get much time to enjoy everything since it was supposed to be a quick lunch! Definitely would recommend and will come back when we are in the area. Restrooms were available to customers and clean! read more

Initially, when my husband and I were taking a drive in this area, we were going to go to another establishment, but the 2 was closed! Sooo, we found Mountain Top Cafe just by pulling off and noticing that they were open. I ordered the chili nachos and the Ortega melt. And, ohmigawd, these were DELISH! I vaguely remember my husband ordering a standard breakfast plate of bacon, sausage and eggs, but, I'm telling you right now, the nachos and the Ortega melt were downright GREAT. Our waitress was lovely and very sweet. And the inside of this eatery was home-y, cozy, and quaint. If we're EVER nearby these neck-of-the-woods, we'll be sure to come back 'cause we felt feel like regulars. read more

Exceptional service! Friendly and warm. So glad I finally decided to stop! Quite possibly the best Monte Cristo sandwich I've ever had! read more

Stepping into this little mom-and-pop gem felt cozy, homey, and sprinkled with just the right amount of holiday cheer. The décor was festive without being over-the-top, making it a perfect little oasis for a midweek lunch escape. I popped in during a weekday lunch hour, and it was pleasantly calm only about four or five tables occupied with couples quietly enjoying their meals. My server was an absolute delight, full of recommendations and zero pressure, trust me, she did not steer me wrong. I went for the pastrami dip sandwich with grilled onions, sweet potato fries, and a side of homemade ranch. Let me just say... wow. The flavors in that sandwich were bold, savory, and perfectly balanced, while the dipping sauce was basically a love letter to my taste buds. The sweet potato fries were golden perfection, and paired with the homemade ranch? Chef's kiss. I've driven past this café countless times on work trips and finally deciding to stop was a stellar choice. If you happen to be in the area or just passing by I'd argue it would be a culinary crime to skip it. Cozy vibes, killer food, and a staff that makes you feel like a regular on your very first visit. 10/10, highly recommend, and I'm already plotting my next visit. read more

Mountain Top Cafe has vegan hashbrowns and country potatoes. The potatoes were delightfully crispy. The employee at the counter was helpful and checked ingredients. The seating was comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. A fourth of july display was set up at one end of the room. The menu is clear and easy to read. There is an accessible ramp to the entrance. Inside, the entrance has local flyers and business cards on a corkboard. The food and portions are classic diner style. read more

We searched online to find somewhere to eat and this cafe had a lot of good reviews; both for the food and for the service. It felt very cozy inside and you wouldn't believe the kindness of the staff. We ordered the veggie wrap, club sandwich, the spaghetti with meat sauce, and the 4 piece fried chicken. They were not lying when they said homemade! Wow! Incredible tasting food. I'm bummed I forgot to take a picture of the spaghetti and also the fried chicken. My plate came out first and the veggie wrap was so good, I just started grubbing. This place is truly a gem and a rare find. Christina and Christian were both so sweet, so professional, and incredibly friendly; it felt like we were regulars. If you haven't been here, no matter how far you are, get your butt down there and give it a shot! And for the chef, a big chefs kiss. read more

Super cute mom and pop cafe. Still decorated for Easter. Super cute decor and vibe. Friendly staff. We came for the French toast but we didn't know they stop serving breakfast at 1pm, we'll be back for that. We ordered the Frisco burger. It was yummy. A big burger on sourdough. The bread was a little too greasy for my taste, but nonetheless it was tasty. Will definitely have to come back to try breakfast. I gave it a solid four for the ambience and attentive staff. I was too busy looking around and taking pictures of the decor to take a picture of the food. lol read more

I was messing around on bing's "flyover" map feature and I came across this cafe. I sent it to my husband and he said we would be checking out this weekend. So today we went, I knew it was a small cozy place with homey vibes. They had Easter decorations and place had dim lighting. Very comfortable setting. I really liked that about it. Server came to our table right away. He got us menus and took our drink order. After that we placed our food orders. My husband got the French toast combo and I did a sausage breakfast burrito. Food came out fast and portions were a little bigger than I thought. Everything tasted well. Coffee could be stronger and the my serve Pepsi products here. A second server came out, female. She was so kind and asked us if everything was good. She checked in with us a few times. Once we paid, she came back to our table to collect our plates and we made small talk. She suggested other dishes for future visits (meatloaf, chilaquiles, taco night) and she also provided closing times. Super sweet lady. We will definitely be going back do lunch or dinner. read more

We will never blast past again! From the moment we step inside, we are welcomed, comfortable, cozy, happy and served excellent food! Mtn Top Cafe is literally always a holiday. Decorated for Christmas until Valentine's, then Valentine's until Easter, and on and on! We're greeted by the host/ server, who was always there for anything. We felt totally welcome to hang out at our table for for a long while. My sister's eggs Benedict was just as she hoped for. My senior menu Chorizo Burrito was huge and loaded with plenty of great fresh salsa. Hubby's country style senior breakfast was excellent in every way. He commented that the bacon was really good. We promise to stop by again for a great meal and good times! read more

We've stopped here for breakfast and lunch several times and always were happy that we did. It's a small, homey place at the very top of the hill near the Wrightwood turnoff. The food was always very tasty, plentiful, and the menu has a decent quality. The chicken fried steak breakfast was very good for breakfast, sandwiches very good, and entrees for later in the day were excellent. It's a very popular place although small and we know we can always count on a very good meal at a reasonable price. Lots of parking and right on the Hwy 138. Nice, homey decor, comfortable. read more

I found this place because it was nearby our groups stop right before Phelan! The restaurant has plenty of parking spaces out next to it and it has a nice cabin feel. I came in really believing I would be ordering something from the breakfast menu, but the server recommended the pulled pork sandwich and I regret nothing. Don't be tricked by the picture but it was a massive sandwich and it very filling. Would definitely come again to order it if I'm passing by again. read more

I stopped here because I had just ridden my Vespa over the entire Angeles Crest Highway all the way from La Cañada... and after 60+ miles of mountain road, this place hit the spot. Everyone there seemed to know each other, and probably grew up eating there. Food was great, fast service, insanely affordable. I was definitely well fed, refreshed, and ready to take on the return trip after this meal. Will for sure make this my regular turnaround stop whenever I do this ride again!! read more
