Duck pond

Just like most people, we always drive on by as we make our way to Vegas. This time, we decided to make it a point to stop by on our way back from Vegas to California. We came in on a Friday afternoon, around lunchtime, and were surprised to see that the place was busy! There are a lot of tourists that stop by - and rightfully so, as they have decorated the place very uniquely. We were told the wait for a table would be around 20 minutes, were handed a beeper, and were encouraged to wait by the gift shop. The gift shop offers Thrifty Ice Creams, other sweet treats, and so many different merchandise items! It was definitely a nice stop to stretch your legs and to browse around. After our beeper went off, we were escorted to our booths and met our waitress. It took her a while to come by and help us with our orders. I mean, it's lunch rush; the place inside is loud, a bit chaotic, and honestly, it just has a charm on its own. Their walls are tacked with pictures and posters, and I love the little fact booklet showing how much everything cost back in 1996. Finally, after placing our orders, the food came! We ordered grilled cheese with French fries for the kids, tuna melts, NY steak strips, and root beer float. The kids' meals were solid; they loved them, and the root beer was great and refreshing! I loved that it came first so that we could enjoy it on a really hot day! So the float was much needed. The tuna melts and the steak itself were really good, great even. The sides were okay - the corn that came with the steak seems like it came out of a can; the mashed potatoes were dense and heavy, and while it may be a great solid side, it was a bit too heavy and a bit saltier than our preference. The tuna melts came with French fries, which we upgraded to onion rings. The onion rings were delicious; we'll need a bigger portion next time! The soup of the day was clam chowder, and we appreciated that it was delicious. We were initially missing a few things for the table, but our waitress checked in on us multiple times and eventually got us everything we needed. She also explained that their dishwasher was down or having an issue, but even then, they got through the lunch rush that Friday afternoon. We finished our meal and walked through the gift shop toward the back of the diner. There, we found a duck pond with 3 ducks and a lot of turtles in the water who seemed hungry, as they approached us immediately when we looked at them, plus some neat statues and a stage! Overall, it is a neat place to stop by at least once! If you don't have time to sit down and have lunch or dinner, you can always stretch your legs in the gift shop and perhaps enjoy a thrifty ice cream or a root beer float.

I've driven by Peggy Sue diner for years, always wanted to give it a try. Since I'm by myself without my family on this trip, I decided to stop in. It's easy to find since it sits near the freeway exit and many billboards along the way as road signs. Its gravel paved parking lot is huge. All those cars there were somewhat reassuring. I took the first counter seat I saw while being surprised how small this place is. Only later I found it has 2 large dining areas and a pizza parlor further in. The waitress wore a pink outfit likes those I saw in movies. Some of them seem to have been there for years. Courtney is probably the youngest among them and very friendly. She took my order and gave a glass of water without ice as I requested. Most dishes is named after celebrities of old. My neighbor ordered an omelette which is huge, enough for 2 yet reasonably priced. Peggy Sue also has a dinosaur yard outdoors. Water in the pond and waterfall is green, not sure if it's algae or coloring. Either way, I have no intention get near them. I don't think I'd bring my family here but I might stop in next time on my solo trip to Vegas to try its omelette.

Stopped at Peggy Sue's on our way from Vegas to CA! Tourist attraction for sure, off Route 66, the original diner is there and they've added on more seating. We got there just in time as we were able to sit wherever we could find a seat. Our waitress shared that we got in right before they started "sitting people and there was a wait." Typical diner food. Our waitress was great and shared her favorites with us (I believe her name was Danielle). Burgers and sandwiches come with two sides. My husband got the grilled cheese with onion rings and potato salad and I got the tuna melt with curly fries and soup of the day. Everything was very good! Good came fast and it was hot! They also have a small park out back and a gift shop you can browse.

We headed to Peggy Sue's 50's Diner, where it felt like stepping straight into a 1950s time capsule! Retro decor, classic diner vibes, and a great selection of food. It can get pretty busy, so be prepared for a wait, but it's definitely a fun stop before or after your Vegas trip!

We came on a Friday afternoon & to say it was packed inside the waiting area would be an understatement. It was like SQUISHED wall to wall packed! The woman at the front desk was extremely unfriendly with a terrible attitude. We were quoted about a 45 min wait but didn't end up waiting that long, we figured a lot of people didn't want to wait lol. There's a pretty large gift shop inside FILLED with different knick knacks, candies, & ice cream. The staff in the gift shop were a little more friendly than the older woman in the front. In the back, they have a small "diner-saur park" but we didn't go check due to how hot it was outside. Once our buzzer went off finally, the woman at the front began to give my grandma attitude because she thought my grandma said party of 9 when we all clearly heard party of 5. The woman at the front let out a loud audible sigh & told us to wait there while they "checked" if there was a table open for 5. If you had a table for 9 by YOUR OWN mistake, why would you not have it for 5?... We were then taken to our table by an extremely rude man who not only tried to rush our party, but was mad when we w couldn't keep up with his pace. We had our grandparents with us who aren't able to run around a restaurant like he was. We got sat at a table in the back, mind you there was SO MANY empty tables inside, but maybe they didn't have the correct amount of staff present. AC barely worked in the back. Extremely hot and stuffy. It's a little confusing that different people take your drink order and different people take your food order. So you can't ask the food order person where your drinks are cus she didn't take the order... it's confusing. Our server was rude, not surprised. The entire staff besides the drink order girls were rude. Food came out finally, nothing to brag about. Lacked flavor, under cooked fried pickles & undercooked onion rings. We ordered some pies to go which were okay. Overall, our experience here was not the best. The staff really needs a refresher on how to be polite to their guests.

I don't know what it was but wow, Monday morning and this place was packed. I'm used to the weekend being packed but I guess even the weekdays this place is happening. Of course it's always a must for us to stop by on the way to or from Vegas's. Parking situation, there's loads of parking which you can already tell when we arrived that it was busy. We did have our pup with us which they do accommodate service animal. The only downfall, you cannot feed them even water. We normally like the main dining area just past the cashier area. Pretty much all the tables were occupied except one. Some did still needed cleaning but we got the one available. Seat yourself and then menus are brought out. I have my usual plates that I alway get but it does take a little longer than usual for the fried chicken meal. Plus it was early in the morning...lol... We all opted for something fast, breakfast. My chicken fried steak with hash browns, and eggs. It also comes with either toast, English muffins or biscuits and gravy. I've alway like this dish but today, it was a little chewy. The other breakfast was great. And the grilled tuna sandwich, with two sides. We went with onion rings which is an additional fee and some curly fries. Sandwich is simple but tasty. Service was busy but great. Our waitress was the sweetest. I didn't get her name. It was busy that morning but service was nice. After payment, they alway give you the receipt tab for a free piece of candy at the candy shop. Now, do we stop by again after the trip...lol...

We popped into Peggy Sue's Diner on our way to Las Vegas, and it hit the spot. It was one of those places, I'd see every time we would drive there and say, let's stop. Well, we never did until today. The place has that 1950's charm complete with checkered floors, and a yellow brick road. It was absolutely packed, and they still managed to get our food to us quickly with flawless service. I ordered the two eggs with sourdough toast, and hash browns. The eggs were scrambled to a light and fluffy consistency, and the hash browns were golden brown outside with a soft interior. Not to mention my mug of coffee was never empty. I also ordered the strawberry rhubarb pie "à la mode" and it was yummy. I'll describe it as the ultimate sweet, tart dessert that reminded me of a strawberry milk shake. The jammy sweetness of ripe strawberries was perfectly balanced with the buttery crust and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was the cherry on top to my breakfast. I will definitely make it a habit to visit this place when i drive to Vegas. It was well worth the stop.

My family and I were visiting this restaurant for the first time, and our only thought after breakfast was, 'What took us so long to visit?' We have driven past this restaurant just off the 15 freeway on our way to and from Las Vegas, but we never stopped until now. This place feels like a trip back in time, with pictures, paintings, memorabilia, and music from the 1950s. You can't walk a few inches without noticing something else related to music or old Hollywood on every inch of the walls and ceiling. The vibe here is overwhelming yet fun and nostalgic. The servers are all dressed in 1950s waitress uniforms, the menu is simple and affordable, and the food is very tasty and fresh. There's a huge gift shop near the entrance to the restaurant that offers just about anything you can think of when it comes to Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and many other stars of the 1950s. There is a small dinosaur park at the rear of the restaurant, and parking is readily available on all sides surrounding the building.

If you're in the mood for something besides fast food and gas station snacks, Peggy Sue's is a great alternative. Originally built in the 1950s, the current owners reopened it in 1981 and have preserved much of its original charm and character. The original diner, with just three booths and nine counter stools, is still part of the restaurant, though it has since expanded to include several dining rooms and a souvenir shop. The menu focuses on classic diner fare and comfort food. Our breakfast came out quickly and the portions were just right. Our favorite part of the stop was discovering the dinosaur park behind the building. It's surrounded by a moat that feeds into ponds filled with turtles of all sizes. The kids counted at least 50 of them, and we ended up staying for a good half hour enjoying the scene. It turned what could have been a quick meal into one of the most memorable rest stops on our six-hour drive from San Diego to Las Vegas. In a world of cookie-cutter rest stops and chain restaurants, Peggy Sue's is the kind of place that makes the drive a little more fun and gives you something to remember long after you're back on the road.

Nice place to stop by when passing through. Great diner eats and classic vibe of early diner era. It is an older establishment, but it's part of the history here. Service was friendly and great. Classic travel stop to or from Vegas

Aaron D.

A must stop if you're around. The service is always great and the food doesn't miss. Was a huge line with multiple groups when we went but still was able to be seated in about 12 minutes. The only hard part about this place is figuring out what you want to get. Everything looks so good!

We took a little break from our long journey back home. We decided to try this place out since they had a ton of signs along the freeway. There's plenty of parking available. I take the parking situation seriously LOL. Definitely a diner vibe going on here. The service was good but not great. I ordered a lemonade but I was grossed out because there was a lipstick stain on my plastic coke cup. That was a major turn off for me. I didn't even bother asking for a new cup. My sandwich was good and the onion rings were good but they were all clumped together which made it hard to enjoy. The cherry milkshake was good. I try my best not to give a three star but I feel like Peggy Sue deserved it..... Sorry.

You won't be able to miss the roadsigns to Peggy Sue's. The place is HUGE, so don't be put-off by a full parking lot. It's laid back (sit your butt down) and kinda of a maze inside. The menu is full comfort food - don't expect anything fancy. Most of what we had was pre-packaged food (potato salad, salad mix, coleslaw) which was a bit disappointing. The food was good, healthy portions. Servers were very nice. Whoa - to those on a special diet; you won't find any of those here. There's also a Dino shop (which was closed) with some giant sculptures. Overall, not a bad place to stop on Hwy 15.

They let me bring in a cake and a few decorations to make it a real party. The food was hot, fresh and delicious, and served with a friendly smile. The burgers were perfectly cooked and the nachos were loaded. They have so many flavors of crispy wings, it was hard to choose which was best. The onion rings and fries were perfectly fried. And the sandwiches were piled high with meat and veggies. Our drinks were just right and always served in a timely manner. It was amazing to watch our fabulous bartender and server keep track of everyone's orders as the place was packed. The cook was fast and awesome! You could taste the care he put in the food, it was way above your average bar fare. Excellent :) Plenty of seating. With a juke box, 2 pool tables and darts you have all you need for an excellent time. Games on the tables, and even a little coloring book for the kids. Super clean and welcoming. I highly recommend "The Springs". It's definitely a place I want to visit again. We wish them many years of success and happiness.

(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.

I ordered the pastrami sandwich with fries based on the friendly guy's recommendation inside the order window. The $14.00 price was reasonable. Service was slow, though. I guess it's because he's the only guy there taking orders and making the food. By the time I took a bite of the pastrami sandwich, the wait was worth it. The taste is what you'd expect from a "typical" pastrami sandwich made fresh. I've had some phenomenal pastramis in my lifetime, and when I say "typical", it's a complement.
