    Simply put I had two ice cold Coors light bottles for three dollars each, shredded beef taco custom made for myself. Everything turned out exactly as expected and the service was perfect. Plenty of parking for RVs easy access to the highway and if you're off throating it is great to stop on your way home and stop and fill your belly. I will definitely return and try more items and update my review after. Btw, watched football at the bar on the big screen and there is tons of seating. Cool place.

    Steak fajitas with beans and rice. Rice didn't taste fresh but reheated.

    Stopped by on the way back from El Centro in the late afternoon around 4:30pm. We ordered a steak fajitas, two fish tacos, a lengua torta, and asada fries. Wife said the rice tasted reheated the food tasted okay but not great. Saw that they had increased their prices on their menu with most items now over $10. $60 for the four of us and it just didn't feel like a $60 meal. I get that a lot of small businesses like this is struggling due to covid but unless they increase their quality of food to match their prices, they simply aren't going to survive.

    Driving through from Glamis. Friendly staff and comfortable setting. First time here and I am impressed. Definitely will repeat in the future!

    This is a great Salton sea spot for a quick bite and a cold beer. It has a full atmosphere, great diner food. Service is quick and with a smile. The vintage bar has a nice 1980s naughahyde soft cushion for you to lean into. Great tacos with what seemed like a homemade salsa, super fresh. Somebody got the burger and fries and loved it, fries were big by still crispy. Bartender poured our beers into frozen mugs. No ac, but still a fun spot in 100 degree weather.

    Chilled glasses!

    Takes awhile to get served after ordering but they only have one cook and one waitress. The food is worth the wait

    While researching Julian staples to visit/try, I came across this restaurant and was eager to try…read morebased on the "farm-to-table" aspect and not going to lie, the food looked absolutely delicious and amazing. We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

    I came here with family without reservations and we were able to get in. The hostess and server…read morewere super friendly and accommodating. It was a homey atmosphere with excellent dishes.

The place is a tiny little restaurant tucked away on a desert Road not much to see but it is definitely worth the nostalgia and history of the area. The food was delicious. We had the fish and chips. It was very reasonably priced and boy was it delicious big fat pieces of Cod deep fried perfectly. French fries were equally as good. it was a great comfort, food restaurant, and a great place to go while you're passing through for a quick snack and a cold beer. They were cooking a special that evening of prime rib, but we couldn't stay long enough for dinner. It's a great place and you feel part of history. Our bartender was so sweet and the other worker was equally talkative and friendly.

    I have been meaning to come out here for at least seven years. I saw a YouTube video that my son…read moreshowed me about this place. It was a hassle to drive from Anaheim to the Salton Sea, which is why it took me so long. I came here with a couple of friends and we all had patty melts. These were highly recommended and also featured in the YouTube video that I saw 7+ years ago. One of us had fries, one had tots and I had onion rings. The sandwiches were very good. Tasty and not too greasy. All of the sides were good and my onion rings were some of the best I've had. The service was very good. There were a few people at the bar, and the bartender was also our waiter and cooked our food. I believe his name was Tony. He was very personable and ran my leftovers out to the car before we left. He had a lot of interesting facts to share about the Salton Sea area. The ambience is very interesting. It's got a kind of divey and kind of touristy atmosphere. My friend said it reminded her of the cantinas down in Baja California. There is a great view of the Salton Sea and plenty of picnic bench seating outside. We ate inside though, because it was kind of windy.
