    This is great roadside restaurant with live music on the weekends. The burgers are some of the best I've ever had, along with pastrami. I've been here about 4 times and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is family friendly and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for your entire group. If you're ever around the area make sure to check it out.

    Make Lucerne Sexxxy again

    Great food. Great service. Rockin band. Sexxxy ladies. Cool vibes. Sweet motorcycles. Thanks for supporting the local business. Come on back!!! This is Nyte Rydah Magic who loves you!

    Food was great fast and hot!! Carmen is killing it on the grill!! We all loved out food

    Chopped scrambled eggs

    Tried this restaurant on a whim as we were on our way home from Joshua Tree. Pretty much the only thing around. My partners veggie burger and fries were very good, but my scrambled eggs look like they had been put through the blender. Something about cooks in these FarOut places that they wanna stand around and chop the eggs like they've got nothing else to do while waiting for the deep fried hashbrowns to cook. Don't recommend this place.

    This was one of the coolest places I've been to. The atmosphere was cool, the people were so kind and welcoming. Loved the way this place was decorated too! As for the food, it was delicious. We also got PB & banana shakes (you have to get one, it was the best shake I've ever had). Such a great place to stop for lunch, we'll definitely be back!

    The cheeky entrance

    Had a terrific lunch on the way to Palm Desert from Las Vegas. A really friendly and mellow place along a lesser traveled route (HWY 247 from Barstow). Great chat with Matthew, the owner, who made these non-locals feel right at home!

    Food is absolutely amazing down home flavor. Excellent variety and choice. Service is great. They usually go above and beyond for you ambience well, let's just say it's a unique kind of place.

    Beef ribs
    Tony S.

    I don't usually expect much from eateries in small desert towns. But Cafe 247 loons that curve, offering among the best beef ribs I've ever had. A lot of places claim to have ribs that slide off the bone, but they're usually sloppy, greasy, and leave you walking in search of a bottle of TUMS. Not here! Slow cooked, delish, and simply superb, this is my go to rib place off the mountain. I had a portion of my friend's kielbasa, and while I'm not used to having it in bbq sauce (traditional Boston Polish delis serve them with mustard and sauerkraut), after a few bites, it grew on me.... quickly! Adding to the dining experience is a super unique ambiance that's a cross between a biker's club, an art junkyard, and Hollywood museum of memories. It's quite an eye-catching, entertaining place. Highly recommend!

    Double Bacon Burger was absolutely amazing. Great seasoning and overall taste!
    Rocky C.

    Very happy I stopped by here. Truly one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time. Can't wait to come back and try the BBQ on the weekends. I was just passing by but now I'm officially a regular customer. Definitely recommend to try

Lots of fun bar activity and karaoke going on. We probably won't go back for dinner but may return for drinks some time.

Came in for brunch on Saturday morning and ordered an egg and cheese omelette-substituting the potatoes for a side of fried rice. The omelette was paper thin, dry, rubbery, and extremely overcooked. The cheese on the omelette was so overcooked, it hardened creating a chewy, crunchy, plastic texture on top. Flavor wise, I tasted nothing. Was I eating a piece of leather?! Also, why was the temperature of the food not even hot? Sadly, the fried rice was bland as well. It might as well have been white rice. (The kids menu offers an egg and cheese omelette with fries. Do you want your kids to consume this?) Luckily, we ordered the buttermilk pancakes to share. The pancakes were good, not great. They are your basic pancakes you'd get at any diner or even from a box you can make at home and it was the ONLY warm dish served at our table. My sister has been a long time costumer to the Norco location and raves about the food AND service. I don't know if I just ordered the wrong thing but I don't understand the hype.

It was a rather chilly evening so we requested to sit indoors. This restaurant looks extremely upscale, but the servers and the employees are all down to earth very gracious and willing to help. We were promptly seated and asked for a drink order. When our server returned with the drinks, he asked if we had any questions about the menu. We didn't and placed our orders. My wife ordered the Oakside burger and sweet potato fries, and I ordered the French dip along with sweet potato fries. The wife thoroughly enjoyed her burger. It was cooked to perfection. The bun was fresh and the condiments crisp. She also really liked her sweet potato fries. They were hot and freshly prepared. I ordered the beef dip that was served on a unique roll that was outstanding. It really set off the whole sandwich. The Ajou was great, and the fresh horseradish was on point. The entire sandwich tasted amazing. Also, I enjoyed the sweet potato fries. This was a very nice dining experience. We will definitely be going back again when we're hungry for something more than just sandwiches. Their menu looked outstanding with some great looking steaks and seafood.

Here is my story On one hand, my journey to big Bear Valley was defeated because snow was scarce. And, I had to learn how to find the bald eagles. That is my preference now on to oak side I'm guessing Oakside as the place to go locals and visitors alike. Street level is patio dining upstairs second level is covered and rather dark. Food menu is what anyone can expect from a local pub restaurant diner Same thing can be said about their alcoholic beverages or their non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages You do need to check in with the gal downstairs if you want to sit on the street level patio dining. Otherwise walk up the stairs and sit at the bar. Food was decent. Service was excellent. If I'm ever in the area again.(I'm sure I will be) I definitely stop in again
