    French Toast

    When in Phelan. This is a must try! Comes out so hot and fresh and expeditiously...I dont think I have enjoyed myself at a cafe as much as this. Cafe has a long history going back as far as 1934. French toast home made goodness drenched in butter. Amazing house salsa w their Light Eater Breakfast plate--I opted for the 1 egg over medium w shredded beef enchilada beans w cheese and corn tortilla. Epic little breakfast! Cozy friendly atmosphere. Excellent and attentive customer service. 10 stars. Coffee also not acidic at all. So good. Thank you!

    Country fried steak & eggs

    First time here . Food is delicious. My favorite plate has to be the biscuits & Gravy for sure as you can tell it was the first thing I finished ! Very soft & not dry biscuits , black pepper gives the gravy a little fiery kick though definitely coming back to try more options. Server is very friendly & attentive.

    Rockin Ruben extra meat, half fries, half onion rings.

    Love this place. Wish it was closer to me. Good food and always amazing service. If you are in the area it is a must to go to.

    A "Mickey Mouse" pancake?

    Went there once about 6 months ago and it was absolutely delicious. Went there a month ago and it was the most disgusting breakfast ever. I don't know what happened but they went from homemade to, what appears to be, frozen bulk foods. Wouldn't recommend (anymore)

    This was a solid Cheeseburger! AND, their ranch was amazing!

    Cool little gem we found on our way home from riding. The food was incredible, and the service was awesome and friendly. We saw that it could fill up pretty quickly, but the staff did a great job on getting everyone in and out. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

    Great service, good food & cute decor. First time here and I'm glad we stopped by. It's a very small dining hall but the prices are right and the portions are big. We will be back next time we are in town. Highly recommend this restaurant :-)

    Rib eye steak- Country Potatoes and eggs, super delicious and extremely cheap.

    I Took my family for breakfast, and we enjoyed every single plate, The service was amazing, the food was delicious and the price was way too cheap for their quality. The place is very clean and relaxing.

    My first time going here. Was not disappointed. I love Café style restaurants. The restaurant doesn't need to be a little updated but other than that I love the environment the food was really good was very impressed. The prices were even better really affordable and the service was great the staff was very friendly. Will be coming back to try more food.

    Bacon, avocado cheeseburger
    Andres M.

    First time stopping by I passed by through here every single day for the past six years and I've never wanted to stop but after today I regret not stopping before. Wow bacon avocado burger is too big. I couldn't couldn't finish it one thing. I gotta say that every bite was packed with flavor I'll be stopping by more often

    1/2 order biscuits and gravy

    My wife and I went to the Yodeler last weekend in Wrightwood CA, and it was great as ever. I have…read morebeen here since the late 1970s and throughout the years have seen different menu changes, but the building has stayed relatively the same. My children like this place, my wife likes this place and obviously lots of other people do. My wife and I shared the poutine, and we had some chicken wings as an appetizer. She likes Guinness draft there and I had Sour Monkey Triple draft. The poutine was good and it was the first time my wife had tried it--she loved it. I thought there could have been a little bit more of the cheese curd, it was fried, but I know every place makes theirs a little different. The atmosphere is great; it reminds you of a cabin on the inside and of course you're in Wrightwood CA so it's a perfect mountain hangout. The tables are clean, the area swept up and a very inviting indoor environment as outdoor environment. This is a rustic environment, so don't expect four-star accommodation. Again, as I said, it is perfect for this area, and I would expect nothing less. The service was great, we had two or three different servers, and they were always polite, knew their menu well, and offered upgrades. Had a great conversation with this server and he had been coming up there for years himself before working there. His daughter and wife were outside, and he would periodically chat with them which made us feel like it was a great family environment. The menu is varied and they have some excellent hamburgers; I have had the patty melt in the past. There is something about being 5000 feet above sea level, having a cold drink, and hot food; it's amazing. If you happen to be up in the Wrightwood area stop by at this place you will not regret it the food is hot and tasty, the beer is cold and the service and ambience is excellent,

    Wrightwood; Older local diner hang out with TVs, plenty of beer choices, full bar & outdoor patio…read more Service not immediate, but efficient enough once I was seated. Decent menu for a small place. Out of the "housed roasted corned beef" Reuben sandwich so I settled on a patty melt which might have been a better decision anyway. Very pleased to have a patty melt cooked perfectly medium. Keep the cook. Tender & juicy beef patty on fresh marbled rye toasted just right. A worthy 4.5 stars for this. My photo was not worthy so no photo. My opinion as a non-local, just been there twice: It's time for a bathroom makeover. Past due. Could use Molly Maid & Mr. Clean. It's tough times for a lot of restaurants these days, but elbow grease with TSP and a gallon of paint would go a long way.
