A Little Mexican Food Gem in the Middle of Nowhere!…read more Okay, Barstow... you surprised us! We stumbled upon this charming little Mexican restaurant tucked inside a La Quinta hotel, which is probably not where we expected to find such a delicious and authentic meal! We stopped in for Sunday brunch and were so glad we did. The staff was friendly and welcoming, everything was clean, and the food was the real star of the show. We had chile verde, pozole, and homemade tortillas--and those tortillas were SO good! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and homemade. They also had an omelette bar, plus some very tempting churros and donuts for those who believe breakfast should end with dessert. (We do.) Honestly, this was such a fun little find in an unexpected place. If you're road-tripping through Barstow, this is absolutely a place to put on your list. Whether you're heading between LA and Vegas or just passing through, it's worth making the stop. Great food, great staff, clean surroundings, and a surprisingly authentic Mexican brunch in the middle of nowhere! Travelers: save this one! You may not expect to find a food gem inside a hotel in Barstow, but this one is definitely worth the detour.

I've tried this place 3 times, and it just isn't my vibe. The staff wasn't rude, but they weren't…read morepleasant. The servers/staff I encountered did the bare minimum to say they did their job. The nights I went were comedy nights , and I know they have a karaoke night. Anyplace Travis Tapleshay has a mic is in you'll have a good time.

The bartenders are always on point on serving and keeping the place very clean. The service is always good even on busy nights. Every week is something different to enjoy, from comedy to dancing.. definitely would recommend everyone to come here. They don't serve food. But chips there are very handy

Janet at the front desk was very good, professional, friendly and helpful. All the staff here are…read morevery nice. Location is good. Mid priced for a spring vacay for many. This is an older building which is ok but shows some wear and tear. The outside doors don't always close all the way. First H.I. that had a sign posted on the desk in the room on what to do in case of an emergency. The tv remote control in the room looked like it had dried food on it. Some of the wall paper was peeling off and the bathroom showed its age. The air conditioner and the refrigerator were both off which took time to turn on and cool down properly. No microwave in this room which was aggrivating. Glad they were sold out and busy. Keeping folks employed! I'm grateful to see that.

Wow, hotel has really gone downhill. During our recent stay, the room was outdated and dirty. The…read morecarpet had stains, bathtub caulking had mold, mattress needed upgrade. Not sure what happened to this place. We had no issues with service, checking in was a breeze. Breakfast is standard and nothing to rave about. Not sure I be coming back to this location.

Everything was as you would expect nice place lots of nice people, clean and lots of entertainment.read more

I removed my platinum engagement/wedding ring the night before checkout because my finger was…read moreswollen after using the jacuzzi. I was wearing the ring that evening and still had it when I went to bed, but it was gone by morning when I began packing. The ring is approximately 3 carats total, including a 2 carat center stone. We searched the room thoroughly before leaving and rechecked all luggage again once we got home, with no success. My husband contacted the hotel and was told the morning staff would be asked. Given the value of this item, that response is not sufficient. A property at this level should have a clear, documented lost-and-found process with accountability, rather than relying on informal follow-up. We paid over $600 for a one-night stay. The level of urgency and communication so far does not reflect the seriousness of the situation. I am requesting that management conduct a formal review, including verification with housekeeping, review of lost-and-found records, and any applicable security procedures, and provide a direct, documented follow-up.

Im already giving this restaurant 5 stars because of JIANA…read more Just when I thought people go above and beyond, Jiana went beyond above and beyond! Very patient, warm, smiling, great suggestions, not in a hurry to discuss the options, even talked about possible customizations for our food. It's like their menu is unlimited because Jiana's the type that she will do things because she can and because she wants her customers happy. Perfect example was my cesar salad as a side. It wasnt an option but she made it herself! And it's the kind of cesar salad that I like! Right balance of cheese, anchovies and garlic so good! She was busy but it felt like she had time for everyone and even more! Thank u soo much Jiana! Maybe when we come.back next year hopefully you will be a supervisor or promoted again you deserve it! You and the other 2 ladies were the only ones who seem like they enjoy their jobs hope u guys rub off on them hehe Okay. FOOD REVIEW. Cesar salad - sooo good! Read above for review. Truffle fries -i loooove how it was cooked! Crispy but not hard! Soft on some but more on crispy side! Cheese on top yes pls! The truffle was right amount, not too overwhelming! But the winner was the dips/sauces that came with it. The Chipotle catsup and garlic aioli. Hubby loved the Chipotle and I love the aioli. It was so good, we used it on our burgers too! The aioli might be a bit on the thicker side but it's too good to be turned off by the consistency! There's that taste that u get after a second or 2 that just elevates everything American wagyu steak burger - the burger was good. It would have been better if it was cooked to my liking.. I ordered medium well but it was more medium rare to medium.. but the aioli just made it soo good! I also added the bacon and cheese (great recommendation Jiana! You're so awesome!) . The brioche bun was a bit too hard or not so new? But.. it the burger was decent.. wouldn't order it again though.. Oakside burger - hubby ordered this and medium well. Omg it was cooked to perfection! With char too! Who would say no to a great char soo.. hubby doesnt eat onions.. but Jiana is sooo awesome that she still included the tempura battered onion on the side, instead of in the burger because it was that good! A must try! LOL I was eating it and hubby stopped me coz he loved it! Hehehe thank u Jiana!!! Eggs and bacon was also added per jiana's reco and it was sooo good. So yes, we would order this burger again It was hubby's birthday so it was super nice that jiana had the initiative to give him this cake :) it was a great way to end our meal! The raspberry just elevated the cake so much! So yes, the food was great but jiana was the best! We'll be back for sure!

We were quoted a 15-25 minute wait, which somehow turned into nearly an hour. Apparently, Oakside…read moremeasures time the same way airlines measure "a slight delay." We're a family of four with a well-behaved standard poodle, so we completely understood that our seating options were limited. What we didn't understand was watching two other families with dogs arrive after us and get seated well before us, along with what felt like half of Big Bear. Our "table is ready" text finally arrived 53 minutes after we joined the waitlist. If the real wait is an hour, just say an hour. At least then we could have taken our dog for a hike, grabbed lunch somewhere else, and possibly returned in time for our table.

I rarely write negative reviews but I did feel like this place let us down…read more We started our night off as a bachelorette party here. The DJ played F*** Trump (some techno song that just repeated the words Fuc* Trump) then they played the Barney theme song/Yankee Doodle. Like what kind of bar is this? Which I believe may have been requested by some guest in the bar. When a girl from our group requested Toby Keith courtesy of the red white and blue the DJ told her no he would not play that. It blew our mind that the dj would play childish songs in a a bar. But to each their own. It did not hurt us to leave and spend our money at the next bar. I will say the bartenders were rad! I believe the DJ is to blame here not the bar itself. If you are looking for a bar with wonderful party vibes try Murray's or Whiskey Dave's

I was strolling and exploring the Village with my dog & shopping at little boutiques. While walking…read moreI heard loud hip hop music which caught my attention, so decided to go in for a drink. I ordered the apple tart which was really good. Service: A1. The bartender Armando was so friendly and welcoming. Also told me to come back because it gets busy from 7pm-12am (I went on a Friday). I really liked his vibe and the vibe of the bar overall. Ambience: it's clean and seemed organized for a bar. There's games there and a pool table. Everyone was so friendly. I had a few people talk to me and gave me some tips and recommendations on where to go in Big Bear, as I'm not from there. I also liked that they are dog friendly. I saw 3 other dogs there too. I would definitely come back & recommend this place to my friends.

Food: A. Chili's is consistent, this veggie burger was pretty spicy which I love. I appreciate they…read morelet me nix the bun and lay it on a bed of lettuce to cut the carbs since I choose the potato fries to be that. We also had the passion dragon margarita which is excellent and large! Service: A. Our server is personable and friendly. He made recommendations on comments on items we order to make sure we like the level of flavor. We asked the hostess for utensils on our way out and she brought us 2! Ambience: A. We choose the bar. It's like sitting in a sports bar with the many options of sports themed shows on, even though it was a dead night in sports. It's clean. Dietitian Dorothy's tip: choose to lay your burger on lettuce like I did if you're having the fries.

This was our first time here. I ordered a Dip Trio for starters, which consisted of generous…read moreportions of Southwestern Queso, House-made Guacamole, and Fresh Salsa along with warm and thin Tortilla Chips. One chunk of Guac on a chip flew off the table and onto my shorts. But the Guac tasted good, as did the melted cheese. I then had the Two Protein Fajitas, selecting shrimp and chicken, to go with bell peppers. They were very good slipped into included Flour Tortillas. Black Beans tasted good but rice was dry. Unfortunately Diane's entree of a 12 oz. Ribeye Steak was just riddled with fat and not even Choice grade beef. Accompanying Mashed Potatoes were good. We received excellent, friendly service. And table seating was fine.

(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.
