I come here to eat breakfast on the weekend. The place is always packed and the waitresses are always moving. This is the one place that Yucca has that I can't find something of comparable quality in Twentynine. The food is very good and portions are just right. Just walk in and grab a table, even if it hasn't been cleaned yet, someone will be along shortly. I have never been disappointed here, and return whenever the feeling moves me. read more

Whenever my husband and I are visiting Yucca Valley, we have to hit up John's Place multiple times! You can't beat the prices. Get the machaca burrito for breakfast and they make a killer pastrami burger for lunch/dinner. read more

Best burgers for miles. Don't miss the fried zucchini, but watch out because the full order is huge. Lot's of locals here, which is always a good sign. read more

Food's so so...customer service is bad bad !! I can't eat sesame seeds, so I asked if I could get a substituton. They offered me wheat bread ? Yuk...they could have done sourdough, or even 2 bottom buns, but, I was told wheat bread was it. Also, I asked for grilled onions on my burger (yes it was a burger special day ) and was told....do you know how busy we are ? by the cashier at the counter! I haven't been back...I now go to C&S...they work with dietary needs without the attitude!! read more

Probably one of the stupidest places I've ever been to. You order your food and then try to find your own seat. If your food is ready before you get a seat well, you're going to stand up and eat. The food was decent, the milkshakes are very good though. I don't know man, this place is decent for milkshakes and probably cheeseburgers, but I got breakfast. Which was okay at best. Also, they spelled the word cheddar wrong on our receipt and they don't know what a frappe is. Seriously? read more

My husband and I were in yucca valley looking for something to eat so we desided to go try johns place. This is our first time here and my hubby got the buffalo burger with zucchini fries and I got the gyro with zucchini fries. Good clean place with fast service. read more

A Friend took me here when I was working on her car at her Grandparent's house in Landers. The Pastrami was TO DIE FOR and the Zucchini was AMAZING!! Well Done, John's Place, well done! read more

Best burger, onion rings and milk shake.

The food is always on point. The servers are friendly and the service is fast even when the place is packed. I'm never disappointed and their milkshakes are unlike any other. read more

Always try and make it into this place when I'm in town. The breakfasts are great and the staff is always friendly.

I love this place! The French toast is crave worthy, and I'm super picky about French toast. I also enjoy their taco salad and sweet potato fries. My only complaints are that I wish their cup of fresh fruit was more than just green and orange melon, and that you could add your tip to the check. Who carries cash? read more

Really sad that they would not give us a couple of Thanksgiving dinners to go. The snow was coming down and we were afraid we would not be able to get home. We are an elderly couple and were really disappointed. read more

The avocado burger was not good the fries were yummy the milk shakes were good I didn't like how we said we were eating in and they didn't want to take our order at the table it's just a werid set up read more

I give it a 5er.. First time there yesterday for 99cent burgers. Burgers are no joke, big & good tasting burgers. Fried Zuchini's are a must!I Highly recommend this place if driving thru Yucca. Not many choices in Yucca [that I know of] but this is good food! read more

We roll into town every few weeks and we always look forward to stopping in for a late supper. My favorite stand by is the carne asada taco salad, the vegetables are always fresh and I feel like I had a well rounded meal. We tried the sweet potato fries tonight and they were awesome! My all time favorite though are the beef ribs there some of the best I've had. So if your really hungry order a side or something to tide you over ther so worth the wait. What can I say there ribs, you got to cook them slow. The staff are always friendly, curtious and very attentive, you guys are the best! See you soon. read more

Amazing place. GREAT SERVICE. Great food. The two young girls that have been here awhile are amazing! The kind of girls any owner would want working for them. I love the food. Great American burgers. Best around!! If you want a good burger and fries, come here FOR SURE. read more

Like walking off the street and into the 1950's, you will get a good meal and fast service at this great location on your way to the Joshua Tree Natl. Park. Fried zucchini, fabulous burgers, breakfast all day, Eat on the Patio! inside, or take it to go. Fast friendly people. read more

I use to love johns place but I recently went in there a few times and I was treated horribly. The waitress who took my order acted like she had something better to do, as soon as I arrived they were all very rude and were more concerned with going in and chatting with eachother I have never felt so uncomfortable I certainly miss the friendly environment they use to have I don't believe I will be going back they certainly made a mistake with the new change in workers. read more

Love going there to eat. I enjoy their breakfast and lunch. Great staff and great service! Thank you Mayra for always going the extra mile!

This place gave excellent customer service! I'd like to thank all the staff for their great personalities they brought forth!

I love Johns Place. I come often with a variety of company. We always get great service and yummy foods. My son and I come once a week if not every other week. I recommend this restaurant. The burgers are awesome and the onion rings, zucchini and mushroom mountain is to die for. Omelets are great too. Varsity on the menu. A little something for everyone read more

Awesome portions! Biggest slab of ham we've ever seen, biscuits and gravy way above average, a waffle to be proud of!

The burger special's a good deal. However, the service was poopy and I had to ask for my order to be taken. Laaaame. I'm still gonna come back doe. read more

If you go to Johns Place on a Wednesday between the hours of 11am and 1pm, I suggest calling in your order because it is very packed with high schoolers because of dollar burger Wednesday!! Food is pretty good, hubby likes the dollar burgers, I love the grilled cheese! read more

Okay. Stooped here with three friends. I had the pastrami. Uck! It was so tuff I had to cut it with a knife and eat it with a fork. The onion rings were good but not great. My wife had a blt which was really good. One friend had the chicken strips which were very good and another had the country fried steak sandwich and enjoyed it very much. So maybe I was just the biggest loser. I probably won't return but if I do I will certainly not order the Pastrami sandwich. read more

So I've been to Yucca Valley a couple of times to visit family and whenever i go i make it a point to go eat at John's Place. With the friendly staff and great food, John's Place is a great place to eat when your in the mood for a hardy meal. The thing that i liked the most about this place is that although they make flippen awesome burgers and other American type dishes, they also have really cool Greek type dishes that are surprisingly very delicious. All in all, great place, and i recommend whoever decides to go to not be be afraid to explore the menu, try something different! You'll be surprised what you find! ;D read more

Excellent! Really inexpensive and great big portions. The food is average to above average, but I didn't expect much and it exceeded my expectations. The menu was accommodating and everyone in my family found something (and we went there twice in 2 days). I recommend, definitely. Mainly the great value and portions. Nobody was complaining, most of all - I wasn't. read more

I've eaten at John's place before, the food is good, you could do a lot worse in Yucca. I did however have a bad experience on a recent Sunday. I went there for lunch while working and passing through the area (I'm from the Coachella Valley). The dining room was about 1/2 full and at least half of the tables had their food and we're eating. I ordered a Reuben and zucchini, shouldn't take too long right? I walked up to the counter 25 minutes into my 30 minute lunch and asked them to package it to go. They acted confused and perturbed that they had already dirtied a plate. I told them that I now had to eat it later since my 30 minute lunch was over. One of the servers apologized and refilled my drink for the road, the other acted annoyed and said that I should have called my order in. I'm sorry, but 30 minute ticket times just don't work for me. It will probably be awhile before I go back, if I do. I like to support local and family owned business but there are other choices nearby. read more

We visited John's place and was treated to what seemed like a home cooked meal. It was clean and had great service. I will make this a stopping point whenever I'm in Yucca Valley. read more

I have to be honest, as a longtime resident of Yucca Valley I have experienced Johns at its best. But today's experience was disappointing. Maybe it's the fact that I had breakfast at another local place C&S Coffee shop just yesterday and have something to directly compare it to. When I go out to breakfast, I want just the basics, executed well. I'm not super picky, but I want decent coffee and good food. I don't like flavored creamers, I just want half and half. I don't think that's asking too much. Also, I want jam on my toast not grape jelly. That's it. I got my coffee, it was terrible. They said they don't have halfnhalf, so my only options were 2% milk or non dairy creamer. I was bummed. Decent coffee is half the experience of going out to breakfast. The sausage just didn't taste good, again it could be the breakfast yesterday that has gone from average to excellent in my mind since eating Johns today. Whatever the case, if a restaurant doesn't execute the basics well, it's really not worth a visit right? Go to C&S for breakfast, or make some decent coffee and eggs at home. That's just my opinion. read more

I love the food and the people are great but MAN the slamming of dishes and cutlery needs to be pointed out. I can only pick up food to go or my nerves are shattered by end of the meal. It's like they are soooo nice they take out any frustrations on the china to let steam off. I've tried on several occasions but I need my hearing. read more

Over 20 years of visiting the area and nearly a decade as a resident and until today never tried John's Place. While in town running other errands decided to try it out. Local radio spots and Yelp reviews paving the way. Lunch was pretty busy for a Friday - tables filled and the grills were stacked with orders but never felt like the wait was long. Ordered at the counter, delivered at the table. Even saw a few people cleaning up tables and offering to clear our tray when we were happy to clean up after ourselves. .99 burger was nice, order fries and Philly cheese steak too. After seeing our neighboring tables onion rings which were huge and looked delicious. Nice menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Liked that dinner items come with coffee and desert after 4pm which is kinda special if you're doing date night a diner which is totally our style. It may have taken over 20 years to try it, but we'll be back soon. Simple, fast, clean home-style food. Love it! read more

Great place.. reminds me of TOPS in East Pasadena. Came here with a co-worker for dinner a couple weeks back. Atmosphere: Old diner feel.. but a nice one. Very well kept.. You can always appreciate the old school 50's feel. Food: Good! Bacon burger was great... cooked just right. Assembled nicely and presented in a suitable manner. They put a little effort into it and didn't just plop a mess in front of your face. Had me some onion rings to go with it.. YUM! I don't quite remember much else to the meal.. but overall it was good. We will be back! read more

Great place to stop by after a day at the Hammers or Joshua Tree. The place looks super boring from outside but don't let that fool you. These guys can cook! The Pastrami fries were so abusive but so good. Always a fan of this place. read more

Found a fingernail in my water and honestly just bitter because they were out of zucchini fries

this is my second favorite place in the world. Their burgers and fries are heavenly

We visit this place whenever we come up to the High Desert, and they're ok. Not the greatest, but good enough when you are hungry. Burgers are good, zucchini & mushrooms are better. Service is so, so. read more

The old style hamburger place. All fresh made. Incredible side dishes. Order a combo to sample up to 3 different sides. Love the old diner atmosphere with 1950 & 60's rock & roll. Great food and nostalgic atmosphere. read more
