We stopped here for a brunchy lunch on our road trip. Good food, good portions and friendly staff. We elected to eat outside which was a little dusty (but they warned us that was the case). The umbrella shade kept it comfortable even while the temps were soaring. Had the fish burger, which was a generous portion of fish, the Reuben, which was delish, fries, a burger, and the divorced eggs. Food was all very good. They make their own chips and the waitress suggested trying it with their homemade salsa. I would never have done that without the suggestion but it was wonderful! The divorced eggs had almost a half avocado on them. Sweet tea was nice and refreshing and not too sweet. Would definitely go back next time we are on that route. read more

Claims to be fresh but most of the food is frozen,Laurie our server could've been better and was not too attentive even tho restaurant was slow,the cook lady in the back looked kinda dirty and my appetizer gave frozen and my pastrami burger looked like it was thrown together,place is alright not worth the stop Wendy's might be better,also bathroom stinks like old poopy pipes read more

We come here all the time and I ordered the fried chicken. I was extremely disappointed. It was cooked to perfection but instead of four pieces there was only two edible pieces and two tiny little pieces that were a joke and they still charged me for four. read more

Took my sister to breakfast here today. The chicken fried steak was really good!!! My sis was happy too !!! So I'll surely go again!!!

Outpost Cafe is what you wished EVERY breakfast cafe would be like! Comfortable, rustic, down home, and just good. What I mean by Good, Is the friendly service, the great food and the lightning fast service. This isn't their first rodeo and I shows. Rabecca was my server and she was a pleasure. Did I mention that they have quite an extensive menu? I don't pass through that often but when I do I'll make it a point to stop by for a nice warm meal. Enjoy. read more

WHAT A GEM !!! Makes you wanna camp out to try all three meals...breakfast, lunch and dinner!! I'm definitely gonna be a repeat offender! read more

Other reviews helped us try this place out. I was laughing out lout at the doordash order review. The manager's response convinced us to stop here. Outpost Café provides fast, friendly service, great food portions at great prices, and a cozy, hometown atmosphere. As you walk in, there's a sign that instructs you to seat yourself. We gladly took the round booth for our party of 3, plus my 11-month-old. The booth was a little worn, but it simply adds to the hometown experience, in my opinion. Coffee was served almost immediately. My wife realized she wanted to try the hot cocoa a few seconds after we asked for coffee, but it was already poured and served. Our waitress gave us a cup of cocoa on the house! We ordered the belgian waffle, carne asada omelette, and la chica grande burrito. The waffle was soft, sweet, and covered in plenty of topping (it looked more like an apple pie!). The omelette had plenty of meat. The burrito was definitely grande. The salsa was amazing. I usually dont add that much to my food, but we cleaned out both cups for the omelette and the burrito. I was surprised to see our final bill was only $46. We definitely tipped, and will return for more! read more

Went there for the first one when we moved back up the hill Definitely good food. The biscuits and gravy can use a little help but over all one of the best places on the high desert read more

Very okay cafe. We live closer to LA. We saw the LA Eater article. Wouldn't go out of our way to be back, but it seems a cut above diners like dennys/norms Biscuits are not burnt on the bottom, kudos. Coffee looked very diner-esque, one pot of cafe and orange pot is decaf. read more

Outpost Cafe - Omelette + home fries? Flappy Jack - American Near Me - Oak Hills, California

Very cool place. My dad and I stopped in here the other night while passing through the area coming back from a camping trip. I had been looking on google maps for potential dinner stops and saw this place and it had good ratings and seemed cool and unique so decided to stop. Place is right next to a truck stop and pilot gas station. So kinda. Hey parking lot. The restaurant itself had a very cool interior, very nice and welcoming staff. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my dad the BLT, we were both satisfied with our meals. If I ever find myself passing though her again I'll for sure have to stop by and try something else at this location! 5/5 would recommend! read more

We had only come here for breakfast, but we decided to come for a hamburger and a Mike's Big Pastrami. The food was wonderful and our favorite server, Rebecca, was the best! Delicious food and wonderful service made for a great date night! read more

I never would have expected anything out of the ordinary at a truck stop cafe but we always stop here and I've never left disappointed. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. The parking lot is huge and allows for us to park our truck & trailer comfortably. The Cafe is clean and cozy with cowboy old west feel. There is a patio which I don't believe has heaters but comfortable in the daytime. We stopped on our way out to the river and on the way home this trip. We ordered corn beef hash and eggs for breakfast which was made with real shredded corned beef. Plenty of food to share between the hubby and I. On our trip home we stopped for lunch. We shared the Meatloaf Sandwich and fries. First of hands down best fries ever. They're crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Flavor was perfect. The sandwich was huge. It came with a chipotle mayo sauce, fried onion strings lettuce and tomato on a soft brioche roll. I believe the meatloaf was also bacon wrapped. I would drive up here on a whim just to get that exact meal. Absolutely worth every calorie! Highly recommend stopping here if you're ever on the 395 through Oak Hills, Ca read more

Normally I love the Outpost Café and I come here quite often with my Minions but the service today was absolutely horrible. The waitress and cook were too busy laughing with each other instead of taking care of their customers. I ordered a Corona with lime; received the Corona but no lime. Asked for lime again; wasn't brought. And this was after waiting for a bit just to put in a simple drink order; my dinner order was never taken. I decided to just pay for the Corona (never drank it and never received my lime) and just left. Won't ever come back on a Thursday..... read more

Exactly what I wanted, roadhouse diner. Great food and service. Good jukebox. If I road a chopper, I would prob ride it here. Hangman burger was delicious. Cool atmosphere. read more

Man this place was an amazing find. Came here last night for a late dinner and it surpassed my expectations. I think it's been open since 1961, and the food quality for a fwy mom and pop diner AFTER c0vid is amazing. 0 complaints. Had the truckers steak with mashed potatoes sweet potato fries and a side salad. Their ranch dressing seemed to be home made. All was delish. Buddy got the chicken fried steak with onion rings and a salad and he enjoyed it. We came back the next morning for breakfast and got thr omelets to go. Got the roadkill and the Florentine with pancakes and the breakfast was huge justice the dinners. Will be back again. I'm a foodie and cook and this place has my stamp of approval. read more

Found a gem of a dinner late on a Friday night slog out of LA to Vegas...Great service, sit down diner with lots of options definitely recommend stopping by read more

I live not even five minutes away so we come here often for breakfast. They're not too busy although it might seem like it because their parking lot is little hectic and they're quick. The staff is friendly and usually on point except for one. Receipt shows her name as Elsa. It was our first time being served by her. We were waiting to have our order taken. Twice I was told they'll let our waitress know. She still hasn't come by. Third time the other server (brunette girl who's always on it) yelled across the restaurant to take our order then she finally came over. Anyway food comes she just drops it off. Never once did she check on us. I had to ask the runner for condiments after being fed up on waiting for her to come by or thinking she will. Later she just drops off the check on the table without saying a word walking away and I ask her for a box. Never brings it and never picked up check again. Mind you that she was literally behind the bar not doing anything. I saw her hovering over the table or standing staring at the kitchen doing nothing! She had one other table who was dining alone and one other guy dining alone at the bar she was taking care of. We waited for her up come but had to get up to ask someone else for box and hand check. She has the middle section and it's not very big but I would avoid her section at all costs next time. Does the bare minimum and should not be in the service industry with that work style. it's sad the others have to pick up her slack. read more

Great place to eat anytime the menu is full of many things to choose from. And good coffee read more

First the service is great! Everyone there is on it and tends to the customers right away and consistently. The food was great.

Definitely will be back. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside, just a little hole in the wall next to a gas station, but the food was incredibly delicious! So glad we stopped through on our way back home. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a tradition from now on! read more

Was visiting family in Apple Valley and stopped at the outpost on our way up the hill. Our server Elsa was super friendly and kept topping off my water before I even had to ask! (I am a thirsty person). It was a bit busy inside but the food didn't take too long and portion sizes were good. We got eggs Benedict and steak and eggs, steak was a little overdone for my liking but we will definitely go back read more

Quaint little spot. Breakfast is priced well, more bang for your buck. It's good food and service is fast. We've never had a bad experience. It's right off the freeway and if you're looking for a place to eat quickly and get back on the road this is your place. read more

Aside from the food, service is trash. Got a server there named Elsa, just worthless. Can't even greet or break a smile with her guest. Too bad! They lost me as a customer. read more

I ordered original grilled cheese (American on sourdough) with fries. Grilled cheese was delicious but the fries were AMAZING. Shoestring cut and crispy. So yummm. read more

Well served to plates I've only been here twice and get the breakfast. Both time was great. I wish there was one close to my house.

We got our food to go while making a 'B-line' to Lake Mead from Los Angeles. Yelp nation did not let us down, the food was excellent. My club was prepared to perfection and my wife enjoyed her blue cheese burger, although it could have been cooked a little more, but she always says that. The breaded fries were delicious. I got gas in the car while my wife placed the order, she said everyone inside was super friendly and accommodating. Outpost is not to be missed! Special call out to Tish who took our order and got us out the door with everything we needed, she was a breath of fresh air. #TISH read more

Coming home from Vegas, we heard that there were some delays due to an accident on the 15. So we yelped have his cafe for some breakfast and I am so glad we did! The food and service was excellent. Once we come in we were immediately greeted and were informed that we could seat ourselves. The menu had such a variety so It was so difficult to decide! I ended up ordering a breakfast burrito with a pancake on the side (don't judge me). The flavors were spot on and the pancake was so fluffy. I highly recommend this cafe, you won't be disappointed! read more

I have always been very curious about this restaurant. I can say the food was good and the service was good as well. They do offer specials and for it being on the side of the freeway I can say it's a good place to eat. read more

Drove about an hour to meet family who were on their way to Vegas. I had not been here in many, many years, and was feeling nostalgic, so I suggested we meet here. I was not disappointed! We were a table of 5 and got 4 different burgers and a BLT. The sandwiches were large, and the sides (fries, onion rings, and fruit) were all generous, and everything VERY reasonably priced. I had the Hippie (Beyond) burger, which was good, and the fries were GREAT. We were all happy with our food, and Dee, our server, never left us wanting for anything. Will definitely not wait so long to come back. read more

The votes are in and the family gives Outpost a solid 4. The Philly cheesesteak, apple waffle breakfast, Trucker's special, and my bacon cheeseburger were all winners. Surprisingly, what blew them away was the potato salad. They said it's the best they ever had. I was really pleased with my burger. It was cooked perfectly and was nice and juicy. The bacon was nice and crisp. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had in a few months. Next time when we aren't in a rush, we'll eat in rather than just grab a take out order. The staff was friendly and the girls were impressed with the clean restroom. You don't always get that on the trail to Las Vegas. So, this place definitely lived up to it's reputation. Looking forward to round 2. read more

Breakfast was basic. I've had better French toast, these weren't well cooked. Home potatoes were way overcooked. I do appreciate that they let adults order off the kids menu and kids menu is well priced. Wait staff was friendly. It's a one and done for me. Wish I had taken pics. read more

I almost always stop at Outpost Cafe for lunch on the way to Vegas or on the way to destinations further north on the I-15. Here's why: Outpost Cafe is essentially an old school diner with numerous items on the menu. There is something for everyone, and breakfast is served all day. The clientele is mostly locals and truckers from the adjacent truck stop, but tourists passing through are welcome, too. The food and the service are very good. I've never had a disappointing meal, and the service has always been great. Tip your server well. They really do a great job. Outpost Cafe a a great alternative to the fast food places in Barstow many people choose if they're going to stop for lunch. on an I-15 road trip Once I found the Outpost Cafe, I never went back. Nice sit down meal at the Outpost or lunch at fast food madhouse? For me, it's a no-brainer. To get to the Outpost Cafe from the I-15, take the Highway 395 exit, and you will soon see where to go from there. Getting back on the I-15 is easy whether traveling northbound or southbound. Pro-tip: Watch for trucks. A busy truck stop is adjacent, and there are always trucks coming and going. Cheers! read more
