If you are looking for a welcoming place that tailors to the motorcycle culture then you need to make a pilgrimage to the Rock Store on Mulholland Highway. This place is the Mecca for all motorcyclist. Everyone had passed through here. It is just south or east of the infamous Snake that many motorcyclists and motorists challenged their fast canyon carving skills. But watch out for law enforcement! . The cafe was staffed with friendly workers that made feel very welcomed. The food was great, reminded me of an old diner atmosphere. Don't forget to stop by to purchase a couple of Rock Store hats and Tshirts!
Dining establishment is the Stoneside Diner and the Rock Store is the merchandise shop next-door for clarification. We stopped at this biker hotspot (I am not a biker and pulled up in my EV) deep in Agoura Hills for our first time this morning and had a very nice breakfast. It's definitely the sort of place that is filled with locals, far traveling bikers, and people searching for a Cheers type of experience where customers are called by their first name. All of the food is served on paper plates and it really feels like a camp experience in a sort of way. It's quite large on the inside and there are many different tables available. The kitchen is small and they only have one chef cooking, but he did a great job. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. For my meal, I ordered the special of the day which was the Eggs Benedict and thought it was pretty good. Everything tasted kind of packaged versus made from scratch, but the eggs were perfectly runny and overall it had some nice flavors so I can't complain. We also got the Biker Breakfast and the eggs and bacon were very good. However, the pancakes were a bit dry and kind of cakey instead of fluffy. But still we had a nice meal and the drive out there alone is worth the visit. I would recommend to anyone in the area or to anyone searching for a place that requires a beautiful drive to get to it.
Got to check off a few items in my bucket list yesterday. And our visit here (left San Diego at 4am sharp)- on a late Sunday morning- was definitely worth it. Prior to our visit, I already scoped out the parking situation for motorcycles. It is a very small lot- and if you're not fully aware- the paved parking is limited and gets cramped, real quick. Didn't realize til the day before- the cafe opens at 7am. But, when we arrived at 8am, we were able to snag curb side parking. I got the Biker Breakfast (2 pancakes- which I think had cinnamon batter), over medium eggs and crispy bacon. I ordered a side of hash browns with shredded cheese- because cheese is LIFE! The lady at the register was so friendly! If you walk up the steps- there's additional booths and wooden picnic tables to sit at. It's such a chill vibe- patrons are so friendly. Tons of different motorcycle enthusiasts. Single restrooms for men & women with an additional UNISEX. I was a bit bummed when I went to the souvenir shop. I was hoping to buy some rocks... like crystals or precious whimsical things... so, no rocks. Would definitely stop by again. Can never go wrong riding Mulholland Hwy towards Malibu. Shiny side up!!
Cool spot for bikers for sure. We were hoping to Stop off for a drink and some lunch after our hike. It's off mullholand, not in a residential area. You would have to know this place or stumble upon it. First impression, it seemed happening with all the bikers parked outside. Walked in hoping there was a bar which it looked like there was one outside but wasn't utilized. They did have a fridge inside with beer. Food wise, looked at the menu and wasn't to impressed. More of a diner type of place. There's plenty of seating outside which was great. People watching and mingling with the bikers. As this was a main stop along the road. Cool vibe and cool place. Not really a restaurant if your looking for something like that. Did notice a grill on the patio so they may have bbq but not sure.
This is a great motorcycle riding spot. The food at the diner is great for the price. I would say better priced and taste than Neptunes Net. Over-all a great atmosphere!! Food was made fast also
First time here and it did not disappoint. We had an amazing tour and learned so much history. If you belong here you can feel it. The pulled pork was absolutely delicious! Felt like being at a backyard bbq, but with friendly service. This will be a regular spot for us. Thank you for the hospitality!
Great little dive up in Topanga Canyon. I'm all for an understated dive bar where everybody knows your name kinda vibe. One of my favorite drives on a weekend. Cruise through Topanga canyon, pass the art wall & the flying pigs and you will come upon the rock store. They don't have anything on tap. Basic beer in bottles & a good stock of hard seltzers. Cheap and perfect! Regular hang out for bikers, but everyone is very friendly. Belly up to the outdoor bar and grab a drink and enjoy the scenery. They are also dog friendly on their patio which is a huge plus! They offer typical basic bar food in the Cafe that is attached to the bar. Pulled pork, burgers and fries. Haven't given the food a try yet but will once we go back for another drink. A great little spot to sip a drink and socialize a bit. Nothing fancy, older biker crowd and Plenty of patio seating with shade.
I don't blame these guys. They're a victim of the times. First CA closed Mulholland to stop people enjoying the road. Now COVID has everyone outside. The burger was pretty good. The bikes were cool. You couldn't help but feeling the scene is dying though.
Such an iconic place for a motor enthusiast like myself! I have heard about this place ,but this was my first time here. Located at the end or beginning of the famous snake road (whichever way you take it), it embodies the vision of a true biker pit stop! Originally a famous stagecoach stop Vern (Veronica) bought the Rock Store in 1961 with a solid vision of the future and what she knew it would become. She transformed the property into a small town grocery store and gas station with two retro pumps that still stand today (now non operational ,but great for photos). The property is now home to a quaint cafe and biker bar come here on the weekends to meet some of the top "who's who" in the moto world!! The food simple ,but hits the spot. I really loved my patty melt and would recommend it to all that come. It's fast and quick with a kind staff. I want to come here for breakfast the menu looked spot on for my liking! Both Rich and his mother Vern (the owners) were there. It happened to be her birthday-- lots attended for the special occasion and it made my first time something truly special ! Rich and his wife give tours and went out of their way walking us around and sharing with us the knowledge of the past, present, and future! The Rock Store is a remarkable place- never before have I been to a place like this and I am looking forward to returning!!
Spent $45 on breakfast, realized we didn't have water, didn't have cash, and they did not have any tap water to give out, so only option was to buy a bottle, but there is. $4 card minimum. The water was only $1, they wouldn't give us a water. Forced us to buy at the $4 minimum. Seriously?
I drive Mulholland Dr from Old TopangaCanyon every Sunday and love stopping by the Rock Store. I try to get there before all the motorcycles get there around 8am. The menu is simple and affordable. Coffee is good and the people are friendly. It feels a little bit like you're not in LOS ANGELES but you're reminded when the various car clubs pass by. Good for a date or alone. Fun driving up there too!!
On a curvy road, leads you too a biker joint called the rock store. The restaurant is inside and the bar is outside. You can however order food if you sit outside. I've been here numerous of times when it's been super busy and really slow. When you walk in you sit yourself, the people at the counter don't even acknowledge you half the time, the service to wait on a waitress is beyond slow. Even after you order, they don't check back up on you too see how the food is, and if you need something or even a refill, you're gonna be waiting for a good solid 5+ mins before they return. However I will say the food that I have eaten here has always been good, though the last time I came most of my food was cold. I prefer to not eat a cold plate of food if it was meant to be hot. Also my BF asked for coffee and got a cold cup, why would you even serve that to your customers ?? when we tried to flag down a waitress to exchange it for a hot cup it took awhile, we waved at some and all they did was look at us and kept walking. I get it there busy and always seem short of staff, but it be nice if for once they acknowledge you in the restaurant. However, I will come back to this place, but it's gonna be a pit stop on the motorcycle or in the car. I'll go eat somewhere where the staff actually comes around and you're not waiting to order for ever.
The Rock Store is the quintessential motorcycle stop in the Malibu hills that is a must stop for any motorcycle enthusiast! Grab a bite to eat and hang out for a bit and you'll get to see generations of motorcycles, lots of Harley's but ranging to unique sport bikes as well!! The food and service reminds me of generations ago, as American food as it gets. But the food is pretty middle of the road good, that said some weekends they do bbq and smoked bbq, so I gotta come back and try that read more
I went here for the hang out with other bikers and I was hoping to ride the snake, but it's closed a little deli they had inside seemed busy and people were eating outside on the patio under umbrella umbrellas, and they look like they were enjoying their food inside is pictures of all the famous people that have come by with signatures on them and I heard Jay Leno comes out and holds with a different bike or a car every time he shows up. It was a good ride where I was from where I was staying at and I had other things to do so I didn't stay long. I talked to the owner and he told me hopefully the snake will be open in September 2025 but we'll see you there in no rush as probably a lot of rookies end up dying on that road and they're not in a rush to get back to people crashing off the side. read more

The Rock Store is a fantastic weekend excursion from Los Angeles. Turn on your Waze app and drive up the 101 to one of California's most sought after Biker Diner's. The place is literally made of old rocks--and the bikes outside range from Harleys, dual purpose, Ducati's, to Cafe Racers. Folks also bring their sports cars and drive up the scenic road nicknamed "The Snake." I gave the Chili Burger a go, and it was earnestly made. The chili was good, but you are really there for the storytelling. Owner, Rich, gave us a thorough tour of the structure, and shared tales of a variety of film, TV, and commercials that have been shot on location. He was a delightful guide, even stopping to offer to take pictures for us. He pointed to a large structure in the hills belonging to Mel Gibson. Apparently he built a private church not too far from the Rock Store, with a Latin service. Rich went on to tell us about the cyclists, skateboarders, motorcyclists, and car enthusiasts that frequent the area. For a weekend destination, this place is one of your best out-of-LA choices! read more

I'm on a short road trip from Bay Area, Mulholland hwy is a great biker road. The place is beautiful. I order a biker burger w fries, the burger was great, but i would expect a bit better or unique sauce not just mayo and mustard.... Service was excellent, quick but only 1 person for inside and for the garden, its WoW, she tried her best, cleaning of the tables, service , payments but its a lot for 1 people when a place is busy. Food service: paper plate, plastic cup and canned soda??? seriously... no comment i'm expect more from any restaurant. 2star becouse the burger was really good,even sauce in could be better and for the tireless waitress , she's rock. read more

Our group finally sat down and had some breakfast at the Rock Store. They serve breakfast on the weekends (that I know of) from early to 12pm. And after 12pm, they have the lunch menu. Breakfast? Not too bad, loved the French Toast. The service was good too. Considering it was a pre-Super Bowl Sunday ride up, there were tons of bikes up there. But the seating and restaurant was plenty! Sat down right now, served and taken care of with no problems. The waitress with the pink tank top that morning was super nice! Thanks! read more

've been riding to the Rock Store since 1987. Been both ways, from The beachside in Malibu, and of the 101 Freeway (Topanga Exit North) Not sure if there is parking for cars, but a lot of parking for bikes. This place is a bike heaven. You will meet a lot of friendly people here. I normally ride up on a Sunday, have breakfast, then ride up The Snake. I've been here once on a Saturday, and it isn't as crowded. Great Weather, very cool during the summer. If you are a biker, this is a "must visit" location. Iconic Los Angeles biker stop. Mostly Harleys, but many sport bikes as well. Solo riders to MC's at this location. Restaurant serves breakfast and Lunch. Outside Patio. (Smoking) Bar and Music outside read more

I love this place it's a home away from home when I come with my boyfriend. You're greeted by the most amazing people, they're like family! The atmosphere is great and the food is just as good. I could spend all day here taking in the beautiful bike and cars that come through. read more

If you have a bike, this is a must visit on a gorgeous day. Ride up, sit on the patio, enjoy the open air, people watch and ogle the tons of bikes that will surely be here. Getting here is half the fun! Take a left at The Inn of the Seventh Ray, and keep going. Turn to look at the photographer that catches you in motion when you get close (on a Sat or Sun), and then check out your pics online within a couple days at RockStorePhotos.com. If you don't arrive on a bike, parking a car here can be almost impossible. There were TONS of bikes of all kinds when I was here on a Sunday afternoon, and no place for the few single cars we saw trying to park. The patio has a bar (beer and wine only), and a bbq area that only cooks til Labor Day. After that time of year, a server will take your order if you sit at a table. (There are booths inside too - but really, sitting outside is the way to go) The food here is way beneath spectacular (the bbq might be different). My friend and I had patty melts - one classically done on grilled rye with onion rings and the other on a bun with fries. Both were decent but underwhelming, and the fries and rings surely came from a ginormous bag of frozen stuff. Condiments were nowhere on the table, our drinks took a long time to come out, service was friendly but slow-ish, and bees relentlessly accosted us over even glasses of water. So, clearly don't come here for the food (again, the seasonal outdoor bbq might be different). DO come here ON a bike, for the fun ride up, the scenery around the area, and bike talk with strangers. People are very friendly and helpful and everyone is having a good time! read more
Me being the smart guy I am decide to make my first ride to this famous biker hangout on the hottest day of the summer thus far. Arrived about 4:30p and the place was pretty dead. I guess most riders arrive before noon. I was expecting a bigger joint with lots of parking. Place is tiny. Little diner with 3-4 booths on the 1st floor and similarly upstairs. Just ordered a small milk shake. Was told they only have big ass sizes lol. Upon seeing that I was really set on just a small one she capitulated :-) Very friendly service! An older lady was sitting in the booth next to me with a couple friends and a balloon that read Happy Birthday. Apparently was Vern. Her name is on the sign. So I fell in line and gave her my birthday greeting upon exiting to the patio area. I would come back again with a group and when it's cooler :-) Will eat and have a brew too. read more
