    Veggie omelette made with egg whites. I asked for the hashbrowns to be extra crispy.
    Anita M.

    From the moment we walked in, we could tell that the place is extremely clean. The western decor is also lots of fun. But, most importantly, the breakfast we ordered was delicious! I had a veggie omelette, substituted egg whites, and my husband had the classic eggs, pancake, and bacon. The coffee was filled regularly and was good and strong. Our server, Jenny, was extremely kind and attentive. Such great, fast, and friendly service.

    Frutty frutty and western burger

    We got the western burger and the frutty frutty pancakes, food was 10/10. The burger was stacked, good portions. We also ordered the mocha iced coffee but it wasn't all that great, it tasted like chocolate water. Service was great the waitress was attentive and efficient. The decor is nice, takes you back to old yucca. Looking forward to coming for dinner!

    Chili Relleno Omelette
    Mark B.

    Chili Relleno omelette is one of the best I have ever had. The ranch ranchero is so delicious. A prefect amount of spicy with balanced flavors. A must if you're here. Service was great. Definitely coming back when we are in the area.

    Thought I'd give everyone an updated menu. The staff is super nice and helped me choose between two omelettes. This is more of a local chill place and it's was perfectly lively on the Sunday morning we went. We got: Wet breakfast burrito -- average breakfast burrito but the ranchero sauce made it above average. Breakfast burger -- came out piping hot, very good texture, tasted good. The great omelette -- really great, the feta was a nice touch and it came with potatoes and toast and generous with the vegetables. Machaca and eggs -- replaced potatoes/hashbrowns with fruit. "It was good. Fruit was really good. Well fried tortillas - highlight of the dish." Someone else mentioned the women's bathroom missing a seat on one of the toilets and it's still missing... thought I would mention this. Overall great restaurant, prices were reasonable and would come back if I were a local.

    Country fried steak, country potatoes

    Great breakfast spot! We've been here a few times and the service is consistently great. Usually on a Saturday or Sunday morning when they're a little busier. But the waitresses are always friendly, and attentive. Our favorite is the country fried steak! The only reason for 4 stars is the inconsistent portions. However, the food is always fresh and delicious. The inside is always clean. 90s country playing for a good vibe.

    Super rude waitress, was only nice to us when she gave us the check!!
    Cat A.

    This rude waitress who serviced us BURNT toast with no apology. 1 hour and a half wait for our food. Waitress in pic knew the toast was burnt and still put it in front of me. When I asked her if I can have toast that's not burnt she said yes and she didn't even bother to go back and tell the kitchen like hey guys this toast is hella burnt!! Besides this waitress the other employees were friendly and kind but come on would you really give that to a hungry customer?

    TNT burger, pancakes, meat lovers bowl

    Worth a visit! Came here after a weekend nearby & we were so happy! Food was SO good and SOO affordable. We were so full and happy afterwards! Our server was very polite and let us take our time. The ambiance is definitely "old cowboy" style and cute. Looks like many locals come here to read the newspaper and have coffee!!! Felt like such a cute small time diner. We will definitely come again!!!! Has everything from breakfast, burgers, teas, milkshakes, salads, soups, and burritos!

    French toast with eggs and bacon added on
    Josh D.

    Visited Joshua Tree for the weekend, saw this place on Google Maps. Was not disappointed with it at all! Amazing food. I got the orange juice which is freshly squeezed, YUM!! Their menu has lots of options to choose from, I ended up getting the French toast with eggs and bacon. It smelled so good and tasted great! Right off the bat, service was amazing. The waiters were quick to attend and very friendly. For it being called the Western Diner, the inside was filled with western decorations and drawings, even had old western cowboy movies playing. Definitely a must visit when in the area, will come back for sure!!

    Turkey eggs Benedict

    I went on Thanksgiving last year and had turkey Eggs Benedict . They had four different choices all with turkey. I like the wine there too. Service was great too!

The service was okay--friendly, but nothing out of the ordinary\. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, which was $19\. I thought, "Well, I don't go out for breakfast that often, so why not?" Unfortunately, the Eggs Benedict was horrible\. The sauce tasted more like gravy than hollandaise\. There was absolutely no lemon flavor, and when I asked for extra sauce, I tasted it again--it was definitely more like gravy, and I could actually taste the flour\. The English muffins themselves were also very small\. I've always loved Elmer's, which is why this was such a disappointment\. Prices have gone up everywhere, and I understand that, but when you're paying $19 for breakfast, you expect the food to be good\. Buyer beware\. Sadly, I'm becoming more hesitant about eating out because the prices keep going up while the quality doesn't always seem to follow\.
