The food was sooo delicious- and the waitress (Bianca) was so fun and helpful. Plus the owner (and cook) came out and had a fun conversation with us! Highly recommend. Don't be intimidated by the front of the building, it kinda looks like they are closed, but really it's worth it! read more

My partner and I stopped by on the way to Vegas. We arrived at 9:10am, wasn't too busy. Love that it's a family owned business. My husband got the breakfast skillet carne asada. It was hot and good. Tasted like it was made with love. I got the country fried steak. Same thing flavorful and made with love. So glad we stopped by for breakfast. Service portions are massive. Great and fast service. Very friendly. Would definitely recommend :) read more

We ordered from Roy's Cafe via DoorDash. We ordered a typical breakfast, waffles/french toast/Waffle/bacon etc. The waffle was okay, very thick like bread. The bacon tasted like it was cooked in old grease, the pancake had zero flavor. Overall not the best experience. Based on prior made reviews, I'm sure this was a bad day. I've eaten here before a few years ago and enjoyed my experience then. read more

Nice Route 66 vibe cafe. Stopped in for breakfast during our cross country Route 66 trip. We were seated right person seated and served promptly. The food had nice portions and was well prepared. Special orders and slight changes were no problem. I had the breakfast skillet with over easy eggs and it was very good. Our friend had the Denver Omelet with rice and beans and she said it was awesome we all were happy with our meals and would defiantly recommend for a nice, reasonably priced breakfast. read more

On our way to LV and needed some good grub. Stopped in Barstow to have breakfast at Roys Cafe and was not disappointed. Luckily, when we got there it was not crowded. We had a lovely server who helped us navigate the menu. Everything delivered piping hot and delicious. Portions are HUGE; we could've easily shared one entree, lol. read more

This was my second visit to Amboy Cafe and once again they delivered. On this visit I wanted and ordered a machaca and egg burrito with beans no hash browns to go. After tax it was a little over $17 bucks but was well worth it. After getting my order I drove to Love's gas station in Barstow and ate it there after gasing up my vehicle. I think this burrito was heavier then the breakfast burrito I had last year. I was not given a fork and knife but I managed to eat this behemoth. The end of the burrito would have spilled out if I lifted the whole thing to my mouth so I just lifted the top portion and ate it with the rest in the container. Absolutely delicious! Biting into the burrito just amalgamated all the flavors of the shredded meat, eggs, cheese and beans into a cohesive delicious flavor that was delicious and addictive. This baby had to have been well over 1 1/2 lbs of food and yes, it was so good I ate the whole thing and did not eat anything else for the rest of the day. Thank You Ambo Cafe I'm a customer for life. read more

The food was delicious! the portions are big. we really enjoyed our breakfast. A must stop when passing through Barstow.

We were really surprised by how tasty our food was, as well as how much of it we got! First, parking was really easy because it has a parking lot. Next, if you go in expecting a low-key diner experience, you'll be fine. The place itself isn't super updated or deep-cleaned overall, but you can tell that the tables are cleaned, the bathrooms are fine, and there aren't any issues with utensils, dishes, or cups. It feels very much like a local diner, and the clientele seem to reflect that. I would also add that everyone working there seemed super sweet, and our waitress was attentive and helpful! Now, for the food: -1/3 lb hamburger (made into a double, no pickles or tomato) with a side of onion rings: so hefty! Honestly, this hamburger would have been plenty for us as is - the double ended up being overkill, but we finished it anyway lol. It was a classic burger with red onion, iceberg lettuce, thousand island dressing, tomato, and pickles (though we omitted the tomato and pickles in ours). The onion rings had a crunchy breading, and the onion doesn't just fall out when you take a bite or cut into it, which is nice. -al pastor burrito: bigger than expected! Finishing the burger meant we had to take more than half of this to-go, but I was happy to do that; it was so solid! It had al pastor, rice, cheese, lettuce, and refried beans (which I enjoyed, though I usually don't!). Our waitress asked if we wanted the salsa on the side or on the inside, and we went with on the side. There was also a choice of red or green salsa. The al pastor really shined with the house-made green salsa (made from jalapeño), so I was definitely happy with this dish. -vanilla milkshake: just a classic vanilla milkshake. No complaints! Overall, we really enjoyed eating here and would love to come back for their breakfast menu, too! read more

Coffee was good and strong and the French toast was excellent! Bacon super crispy! Service fast and friendly. read more

The Molcajete was way too spicy, They straight up added the salsa from the chips and salsa in. The steak and cheese was great but the overall entree was not. The Service provided to us was great at first. Once we got our food we only got checked up on once and never again. Even when we were ready to check out. We had to go and find our waitress in order to check out. The Burger and Fries were good. You can never go wrong with them. I Think we would have liked their breakfast more. read more

I stopped in for a quick bite and I'm so glad I did! I didn't realize this cozy café was right off the iconic Route 66 -- such a fun surprise. The server was super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I ordered the mango habanero chicken wings, and it had just the right kick! read more

After reading the wonderful reviews on yelp, my husband and I stopped at Roys Cafe on the way to Las Vegas. My husband ordered two eggs with bacon and hash browns, and I ordered the breakfast quesadilla without meat. Both of our meals were just okay. To be honest, we were both disappointed. Perhaps we should've ordered something else. We won't be stopping by again. read more

This review is a bit tricky because I really wanted to love Roy's, but there were a few things that kept it from being a standout experience. Located just a few minutes off the freeway, you'll get a quick look at the less glamorous side of Barstow on your way there. Roy's is a family-run spot, and during our visit, I interacted with a few different members. Our server, Brian, mentioned it was his first day serving, and he was being assisted by his young nephew, little Cesar. The restaurant itself is a bit rundown...maybe part of its charm? The windowsills had dust, and the overall cleanliness could use a serious touch-up. But I suppose, for Barstow, it's not too out of the ordinary. On the positive side, I had a great chat with Bernardo, who came out from the kitchen to take our orders. I went with the machaca burrito, which was massive, and my wife ordered the French toast and eggs. The food was solid, nothing spectacular, but definitely decent (I'd rate it a solid B). I don't regret stopping by, but next time I'm passing through Barstow, I'll probably hold off on eating until I'm farther down the road. read more

On our way to Vegas, we were craving breakfast food and I started checking Yelp for the nearest place and luckily found this. The best chicken fried steak ever! Crispy on the outside and tender inside. The gravy was amazing and the hash browns were perfectly made. We found our stop when going to Vegas. FYI, it is about 1.3 miles off the fwy so it's a bit off the path. read more

Not the original Roy's which was in Amboy. Disappointed by the decor, expected it to be more like Peggy Sue's BUT food was very good. Waffle with Nutella, onion rings, fries and chicken wings with no sauce were the hits. Cobb and Ceasar salads Hugh, BLT club very large too. read more

Hearty breakfast served by a very friendly waitress. Great way to start our day of driving on route 66!

The food was very delicious and fresh the price wasn't too bad . I love that the service was so good they make sure that everything was okay and if we need anything . They make sure you're happy with the food that was served to their customers. I need to come try the dessert there because it look good but I was already full from my lunch.

I'll be very honest with my review. This was my first time here and I ordered bacon and eggs. As you can see in the picture, the hash browns were soaking in oil, and I could taste what seemed like cold oil. The bread also had a smell to it, possibly from the oil. The bacon was extremely over-toasted and also seemed like it had been dipped in cold oil. I was charged $1 extra for yellow peppers, which were actually the only thing that tasted normal. The place has an old feel to it, which is okay. Service felt a bit different for me, coming from the city. Overall, would change oil for the food, would I come back no I spent $20 on left food.. was I asked to remake it nope but sorry it was gross I did not eat it .. getting sick is not an option read more

Stopped by while traveling and was greeted by Roy himself! The chicken fried steak was delicious, my buddy got the pork chops and eggs, also delicious!

Highly recommend this place if your passing through town or are a local. Thanks for the cool magnet too! Will definitly be our spot when were in Barstow! read more
