I called Giant Rock Meeting Room but assumed we were out of luck again when no one answered, so we headed to a market to grab ingredients and cook at the place we're staying.

The service was amazing, and the food did not disappoint. We ordered a margherita pizza, a pepperoni and sausage pizza, and a salad--everything was absolutely delicious. Such a great experience all around. Highly recommend!

I wasn't very impressed food wise though relative to the cost. We ordered a Pepperoni ($19) and Hey Boo Boo ($22) pizza and some cheesy bread for an appetizer. They were fine. We all enjoyed them, but wouldn't crave the pizza here more than at other locations that offer more value. What did make this place standout though was the fun decor and opportunities for play! We had a fun time playing street fighter on their video game console and an even better time playing on their shuffle board. All in all, I would definitely come back for the vibe, and would love to check out a live event.

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.

We were immediately greeted by very friendly staff who immediately gave us a menu. We ordered the nachos and a chicken sandwich and while waiting played some pool. The bar was not very populated at the time, but it was difficult playing pool because it was very close to the tables that did have people and you did not have enough room to play and go for all the shots you wanted to. Thankfully there was pool to keep us distracted because the food did take around 35 minutes to be delivered, even though the place was not busy. The food itself hit the spot and was exactly what we were looking for. The nachos had great toppings and the chicken sandwich was very crispy. There was also a band playing that night who sounded good. All in all we took it as a neighborhood friendly spot with nice staff and decent food. Next time we are in the area we will make sure to stop by.

I went to this place on a recent mini vacation to Joshua Tree. I wanted some local color, and I did…read morenot want to visit the spots for tourists. I wanted to clink glasses with locals who could tell me about the fun and flaw of growing up in a small town. And I figured that local dive bars would allow me to check off my hopes. Plus, the word on the street was that the Virginian was a local haunt for marines. I wanted to party with marines. Spoiler alert: I did--and it added an extra layer of crisp and pop to my night. On my first night, I went there, by my lonesome, and I was surprised to know that it was a cash-only establishment. This worked to my favor because I did not want to drink too much and then go to my hotel. I did not aim to get a DUI, I just wanted to have fun. When I go alone to a bar, I have a primary objective: to find friends to drink with and talk to. Especially on vacation, I wanted to find an experience that would lead me to a "hangover-like night." I know it might be impossible, for sure, but that does not impede me from trying. And when one tries, one might be successful. I was. I went to put my name on the chalkboard to eventually play pool. I gathered around the others who were waiting for pool. I quickly made friends with a marine. He was not the marine I had my eye on, but he was the one who entertained my advances. Soon after, we went to the bar to get him a drink. One for me too. We were getting shots. The wait was long-loving for it gave him and me the opportunity to connect. Let's call him Lalo. He told me about life as a marine. I told him about my life. He told me that he had found a girl--now his fiancée--on an app called Chispa. Basically, a dating app for Latinx people. I did not think he had found a fiancée, but rather a person he could fall in love with. He was young, you see, and love for marriage seems to be a long game best played by those who are at least in their mid-twenties. Regardless, I will root for those two crazy kids. As we drank and grew closer, Lalo and I just became friendlier and friendlier, which led to friendly hugs. On one particular long and gripping hug, I uttered, "This feels so nice, Lalo." His reply was, "I am glad, Frankie, I am glad." My chosen name is Frankie. His words comforted me because they sounded sincere, and words I had not heard before, within this context. Here in the middle of a desert, I had found comfort in the arms of a marine. I never thought I would, but like I said, I tried, and I was happy to be successful. Soon one of his friends came and requested to leave. Lalo did. I was irked. I wanted him to stay with me for a few more drinks at the Virginian. It did not happen. I got lucky, but my luck did not extend the night. But I did get lucky the next night. I went again after my day at Joshua Tree. It was a Saturday night. The place was full but not so full that it was overwhelming. I saw three young men sitting. There was a stool next to one. They had the build and essence of marines. So, I sat next to one. And again, I made a quick friend. He was from South Dakota. I can't remember his name, so let's call him James. James introduced me to his two friends. One was from the same town I grew up in. Happy coincidence. James and I spoke. He was kind enough to get me a glass of water. The service of the armed forces rings high and small. They were taking shots, one after the other, without restraint. One of James's friends stepped outside and puked. The bartender reprimanded them. He gave them a mop to clean their own mess. Wow, this would not happen in an LA bar, I thought. The marines were put to work. James took the mop and finished for his friend. The bartender inspected the mess and green-lit for them to go. Again, I wanted a marine to stay for my own selfish needs. He did not. He grew and gave me a smile as he went. This bar is a local haunt, but great for visitors. So, if you go to Joshua Tree or a nearby town, don't be shy and stop in here for local color. I got to see small-town vibes at play. It was great, and I met my own personal goal of partying with marines. The Virginian may not be sophisticated, but it is a place to have fun and engage in a way that feels homey yet exciting. Please remember it is cash only but it has ATMs. If you use credit cards, to get by at times, then skip this place.
