I stop here all the time as we head out to go camping and off roading. Love the RV parking. Our family loves the shakes here. (Peanut butter rocks). Great breakfasts. Also very very good pizza. We have always gotten nice friendly service. And free wifi as we sit in our RV eating! Can't wait to go camping again! read more

Been going here for years. Always super service and good food for a good price. The pizza is so great here we don't go to the local pizza place but buy ours here. read more

New owners! Food is great and place is much cleaner. had a Wow burger it was great had Ortega chili and bacon and hamburger much improved .

I have literally driven by this place 5000 times and this past weekend finally stopped in. What a good decision!! It has a funky, cool vibe both inside and out. The outdoor bbq wasn't open (late on Sunday evening of Labor Day weekend) but I've seen and smelled it going off while driving by. The food was really good, unexpectedly good! We had a delicious pulled pork sandwich and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Pork was tender and sauce was awesome. Plus homemade potato chips! Philly tasted legit with authentic cheese sauce. One great thing about both? The rolls...seriously great bread. I enjoyed a tasty Santa Maria IPA on the patio (recommended by employee) while I waited for the food. They serve (some) breakfast items all day. Next time, I'm going for the breakfast burrito. read more

these people serve really good food - in a nice counter serve setting... but having a server argue with us about whether it was tagged take-out or not - and then practically throw the corrected packaging at us without a word sort of ruined the experience [next time: no counter tip] read more

I go here every so often I really enjoy their BLTs and breakfast burritos. Today I ate a breakfast burrito and it was one of the best I have had, lots of cheese and the meat seemed to be higher quality. read more

Stopped to use the rest room in the middle of the desert and found a gold mine. Had toasted turkey sandwich that was fantastic. Better than that were the homemade chips. Best I have had and I am 60! Alan and the staff were delightful and chatty. Worth stopping ! read more

We made a special trip here after seeing it featured on the Travel Channel ... It did not disappoint .... Ordered the Double Cheeseburger and the special which was a Portabella Burger ... The French Fries were hot and crispy ... The employees were very friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs ... Huge menu and a neat atmosphere .... Can't go wrong stopping here ... We will DEFINITELY return ... Made our day !! read more

Love this place. I didn't know the young man that takes the orders was the owner. He was so pleasant and caring I was surprised that an employee was that dedicated. Little did I know he owned the place! I love their turkey club sandwiches. You don't get just a few thin slices, they give you plenty of meat. They make their special potato chips there too, which are completely different from the commercial ones you buy at the store. Every time I go through Lucerne Valley I make it a point to eat there. read more

An absolutely great place, the family who owns and runs the cafe are just great friendly people! Came down to the cafe, after a long hot weekend in the hammers, and was pleasantly suprised with the hospitality, and great service. I would 100% recommend this to anybody rolling through Lucerne. Wheather you be an offroader, hiker, skier, etc. Or anybody, this is a must stop to grab a bite to eat, a drink to drink, or even to enjoy one of the many deep fried snacks! read more

Enjoyed our dinner this evening. I had the Ortega chicken quesadillia. I highly recommend it. My boyfriend had the double cheeseburger. Very tasty. The burger was juicy and fresh. French fries were cooked perfect. The wait time very short. The restraunt was very clean. The owners were very polite. I would recommend Cafe 247 to other family and friends. read more

Yummy food, wonderful staff and a great experience! Good place to stop in and get some good food! Especially the ribs they were AMAZING!

A+++ The ribs were amazing, and the environment was so welcoming and energetic! Next time I ride out in Johnson Valley, I will definitely be stopping by this place again! read more

Stopped in for the weekend barbeque, food was okay nothing special, portions were small, people were not all that friendly and the prices were outrageous. Probably won't go back. read more

Breakfast is like getting up in the morning on the farm and having the freshest eggs, bacon, crispest hash browns with the best cup of coffee in town! The rest of the meals only go uphill from there. THE BEST KEPT SECRET EVER!!!! read more

Great stopover, these guys get 4 stars for service price and food quality, homemade chili on hot dogs, homemade taquitos and banana splits!!! Worth the stop and Highway 247 is an institution in the US that rivals Route 66. Can't go wrong here. And internet was great to have in the middle of the desert! read more

Excellent food, very friendly customer service, and a very large selection to choose from. This has been our third time passing through. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Burger was tasty but it reminded me of the burger patties we got for school lunch ( extra processed. The environment if awesome and the staff are nice. read more

Cafe 247 has everything you can think on on there menu and BBQ on the weekends! Everything was amazing!!

Food is good with a large selection of barbecue and grill. But it takes a long time to order and receive your food. Half hour at 11 am on Wednesday. read more

Killer place to stop in after a long day or weekend at Johnson Valley or big bear. Great food, great service. Matt hooked it up and is a great guy. Definitely will stop here again read more

Their Friday to Sunday afternoon BBQ is top-notch -- even Texans will agree. They cook the meat in a smoker outside and begin serving at lunchtime. It's worth calling in your order in advance if you are driving into Lucerne Valley from the TriCities High Desert or wherever -- just to make sure they save some for you. We had the pork ribs, brisket, pulled pork sandwich, and sausage, and next time we will try the beef ribs and focus on ribs and sausage. It's All Great. Owners are husband, wife, and son, team who do the cooking, with a supportive local staff as backup -- one as upbeat as a cheerleader -- on the weekends they do a 5 pm or so run up to Big Bear with racks of pork or beef ribs for those who call in and order them. read more

Save your money, go down the street. IF breakfast would have been $3 or $4 it MIGHT have been worth the wait while they made it the second time since they gave mine to someone else. Cook was very apologetic but the breakfast was mediocre at best. read more

My wife and I tried this under new ownership place after hearing it was supposed to be good. It was a mid afternoon lunch and mostly empty. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich that came with homemade bar-b-que chips, my wife tried the burger. Her burger was cold and seemed to have been sitting around for awhile - not appetizing at all. My pulled pork was soupy with heavy bar-b-que sauce and had a heavy fake smoke kind of flavor. The chips were quite thick and way too hard to bite into - I only managed to break into a few. Bummer - mark this place off our list. read more

Flys all over food even coffee cup.complained.but nothjng.food adequate.prices raised again they said this week.not worth it for all order n self service after that. No wifi.... read more

When you visit Cafe 247 a must have is the rib dinner. The meat falls off the bone and makes your mouth water just looking at it. It's a must have when you visit. Definitely ordering this meal again. read more

This is the place! I had a burger and a shake. Sign said all burgers come with a small order of fries. My regular burger was huge! All the fixings included and the small fries was more like a large order of fries. Quality food and generous portions. The shake was thick - just like it should be. Friendly service! Stop here - you'll be happy you did. Clean - nice restroom - funny signs. read more

This place is the shit! After a long day of riding my gf and I split the rack of ribs they fall off the bone definitely a must when coming through Johnson valley read more

Well seeing how far they have come from, (what they have stated off at and what they are right now) (WOW), Incredible job can't wait to come back there and eat again, very friendly, awesome with the customers and most of all feels like your at home. I absolutely love this place. read more

Great burger and waffle fries. Would return. Very clean restrooms and friendly and fast service. Mexican food is great, too

After hearing mixed reviews we were skeptical to try this place but we went ahead and we were not disappointed at all! The food was delicious, the onion rings and waffle fries were fantastic. Everything is made fresh and brought out by the chef. The service was amazing, what's not to love about a mom and pop cafe in the middle of nowhere? Definitely looking forward to eating here again. read more

New BBQ at Cafe 247 is phenomenal! Had ribs and tri-tip, and I highly recommend both. I've eaten BBQ all over the country, and this is among the best ever. Burgers from the cafe proper are great, too! read more

Some friends from out of town drove in to try the advertised "Best BBQ", and I called Cafe 247 around 5pm to check on their hours. Open until 8pm, no problem. We arrived at 6:30pm and were informed they sold out of all BBQ except for pulled pork (the only way that's BBQ is the sauce), and links. There was a large portable red sign with big black "BBQ" near the street to draw people in under the impression that a full selection of BBQ meats would be available. When we walked out of the place after only a few minutes, the owner, who had been chatting with some young people outside, never acknowledged us coming or going. Not my idea of customer care or someone who cared whether potential customers returned. What a waste of time and not appreciated. Needless to say we left and had a great dinner up the street at Adelita's, with one of the best blended marguerita ever! Not BBQ but a good substitute. Although we don't have a but a handful of dining options in Lucerne Valley, I probably won't be back to this one. read more

Thank you for the best breakfast burrito in the world... that breakfast burrito is one of the things I associate with being "home." Yesterday, they had the smoker going, and we got the rib dinner. SO GOOD! Also, the Malibu Chicken Sandwich is one of my favorites. I am never disappointed when I eat here, plus everyone makes you feel super welcome. read more

I stop there when Im in town. I stopped a couple of weeks ago and asked for a donation for OUR Network Autism Event and within 2 weeks she got back to me with a donation of $50.00. Thank you for caring so much about our cause. And the food is good too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great burger and fries! Very nice, friendly girl @ the counter. Would stop in next time in the area. Lots on the menu to choose from.

I had a great breakfast burrito this morning and now we're back for lunch. Great grub!! Don't miss the fried green beans. We had Ortega burger, chili burger and cheeseburger, all excellent. Definitely worth the stop read more

Great food and even better customer service!!! Even got a free refill on my drink....
