Steak lunch? Or dinner came with side salad, about same price as  cheesburger combo

Special 95cent coffee with purchase. Family pack might be best bargain. My steak lunch was a good value. Some appetizers and sides $$ a little. Good food. Clean

Gus C.

Great value for the price, especially if you booked a pricey Airbnb or simply passing through. I appreciate the diner vibes and pics of old Hollywood. Breakfast is served all day, which is amazing. I ordered the avocado bacon burger, which tasted clean. The zucchini fries were also great (reminds me of Astro Burger in WeHo). The Oreo shake was pure joy in a cup. On another note, the restrooms were exceptionally clean, and the staff was friendly. Will definitely visit again!

Sausage patty!

Always a great place for breakfast! You can never go wrong! Staff are always friendly and makes you feel welcomed

Pastrami sandwich

I'm going to be honest. I have not eaten here in about 3 years. I had several really bad experiences. It was time to give them another chance. I'm glad I did. I'm enjoying a delicious pastrami sandwich. Mariana is an absolute sweet heart. Thank you for the great service and meal.

Terrible food. Terrible service Rude waitress' They don't clean their tables. I politely asked for something to clean the table with and was answered rudely with I'll be right there. She never came. When our food came I asked if I could have something else because my sandwich came with rye bread and I'm allergic to rye. I totally inconvenienced the waitress and I said never mind. I just ended up sharing my husbands food on a very dirty table. My husband was disappointed at the attitude toward patrons and the dirty table, he asked for to go containers. We will not be back to John's. Iam someone who is part of the community and will not be recommending this place to anyone.

Lunch/dinner menu
Rhianna W.

Came here on the recommendation of a friend. It was a little confusing when we got there because we had a dog we asked to sit outside so they said okay go sit and someone will be with you. It was cold and the heaters set up outside don't work. So I literally used a heated blanket while out there. Granted we had to sit outside because of our friend's dog , but to have 4 heaters that don't work was odd. Someone came out and took our drink orders. When he came back he told us we would have to go inside to order. We could have done that when we first got there had they not told us to sit outside, it was so odd. The food was better than the service. In our group we got waffles, johns farm breakfast, johns gourmet burger, chorizo and eggs, French toast, and biscuits and gravy. My friend got another burger but I can't em ever which one. It was all good, my plate the johns farm breakfast just needed some extra salt. The burgers were your classic diner burgers you can't go wrong. My friend enjoyed his chorizo and eggs, just was kinda of a small portion. The waffles were fantastic but they are SWEET!! Which I expect from a Belgian waffle. It had this crispy sugar crystal bits, bomb. My favorite was the French toast. So fluffy and light but with the perfect vanilla flavor! Yum. Would definitely come back and see how service is sitting inside.

Best homemade chips I ever had. The outside is unassuming…read moreright off the highway. Inside though, you'll never tire of looking around. Every wall is covered with unique interesting art- mostly animal theme. It's cooler than a dive bar and with quality food. My friend and I tried the pickle martini I read about in other reviews. Glad I tried it, but probably won't again. Espresso martini was delicious. Wild Boar Sloppy Joe was definitely worth the mess. Service was friendly and courteous. The platypus in the bathroom cracked me up. Highly recommend.

There is a dog friendly patio so we sat out back with our pups and ordered them puppy patties. Service was ok; since we were in the patio and it was a holiday they were super busy so it was understandable that we had to wait quite awhile for things (drinks, check, etc). But they servers all worked together and were nice. They grat parties of 5 an automatic 20%, but it's on the menu so be be mindful of that. The food was not bad. They had a special BBQ menu for the 4th, but didn't have the jalpeno cornbread so we went another direction. We ordered a $5 mimosa and the pretzel bites with BOMB queso and split the smashburger. All were awesome. My friends ordered the chicken sandwich and absolutely RAVED about how good it was!! Overall, this place is awesome and we can't wait to go back and sit at the very lively bar and watch some sports!

We were having quite the day prior to getting to La Copine. We had a 545 reservation but got a flat…read moredriving into town and spent hours at Walmart tire being told "30 more minutes" for an hour and a half. We missed our reservation time but decided to try a walk in because it was the whole reason we came into town in the first place. We were greeted by two really nice hosts who assured us there was room for us sooner than later and we were seated with our dog on the patio pretty quickly. They were so nice to us and doubly nice to our dog! We ordered fried eggplant, gazpacho, ceviche, a lamb burger, and got a lamb burger patty for the dog (we're not order food for the dog people but she was going through it too with the Walmart stuff so why not). We added a couple glasses of wine and their beer shandy and finished with a strawberry shortcake. Every bite was perfect but we rated them- Gazpacho, Lamb Burger, Eggplant, Ceviche. The gazpacho was a hit with the perfect amount of fresh/sweet cantaloupe and spicy-ness. This place was well worth the trip from Big Bear. My wife noted that everyone there that helped us legit looked happy to be there. There was also a medical emergency and the staff was so kind and helpful throughout and checked in on all the tables in the area afterwards. It kind of showed that they are invested in the people that visit.

What fun! This was a neat little place a bit of a ways from where we were staying in Joshua Tree…read more I've seen the name bounced around, and a couple friends had mentioned it. We got really lucky - reservations open a month in advance, and we were headed to Joshua Tree the next day. I thought for sure I wasn't going to get a reservation and needed to think of a Plan B for date night. But I texted anyway, with an apology for it being so last minute, and they responded the day of confirming me for the next day! Yay! When we arrived, we asked for a seat inside, since it was super windy that day, and they were able to seat us within a few minutes. We got the butter lettuce salad (delicious), the socarrat (lots of peas and pea sprouts - this was AMAZING, and great the next day cold!), their version of bruschetta on their crispy thin bread - the bread was absolutely amazing. And we also got the tomato...um, I can't remember what it's called, but it has a base of sliced tomatoes, with hard boiled eggs, celery, and tuna aioli! Super refreshing on a super hot day. We also got a couple non-alcky drinks and left very happy. It was loud inside for sure - or, bustling, if we want to be more euphemistic. Service for us was a bit on the chilly side, but that might just be the night our server was having. There are 2 single-stalled bathrooms, and parking is very easy in the huge lot they have. I think we might circle back to this place after trying other eats around the area. This was a good time.

Yes it's pretty basic but what they do, they do really well. We decided to go for breakfast. I ordered three eggs, any style with hashbrowns and toast. This was $12.54. I do not eat meat and often times having just eggs is not even an option.. I asked for my toast to be well toasted and all of this was executed well. The eggs were cooked as I had ordered, there was not a hint of grease on the plate. There was no taste of stale fat which you often get when the kitchen are not changing the oil as often as they should. My toast was very brown as I had asked, often times I'll ask for well toasted bread and it will come out not well toasted at all! I server told me that the owner had cooked my breakfast, which I guess is an honor lol My boyfriend ordered a breakfast burrito $13.48 with added chilis and he said it was very tasty. The icing on the cake is they have several TVs in there and the tennis channel was on and there was some live tennis going on, so we enjoyed watching that, sitting at the bar. We will be back probably during the French Open so we can watch more tennis!

Nice waiter gave us time to go over the menu and we asked for separate checks no problem. Here's where things went downhill. $14 for a hot dog with fries! You have got to be kidding me. A BLTA was $18.00. There should have been loads of lettuce,tomatoes and avocado on that sandwich but NOPE. There was bacon but the rest was lacking in substance. Pulled pork sandwich was $24.00. Wow! That's one special pig. You can spend $5.00 to get a hand cut ice cube but regular ice cubes were not served with water. The bill includes 3% added on to pay the kitchen staff! The owners can't afford to pay them a living wage! You want a cocktail? Be prepared to spend $15-$20 for one of those. An eclectic decor with so much stuff on the walls that really needed a good cleaning. I think dust had been building up for years. all in all very disappointing. Better food, atmosphere and location in Yucca Valley.

With an empty restaurant I had to wait to be seated.

Then they said they forgot to put in my food order at this point had I of known I would have paid for my drink and left then. But to wait over 30 mins for eggs and soft hash browns is sad. Food came and my friend said his French toast was good so there's that but my gravy lacked flavor and seasoning. Overall not the experience I was looking for on my way out of town- should have kept driving.
