The service in this place is above and beyond. We reached here around 9:35 PM and the place now closes at 10 PM. However, the staff was very accommodating, not only they seated us, they never rushed us to finish our food fast. The server lady came and mentioned multiple times that no need to rush. The food was also delicious diner food. Overall, nice and clean ambiance. Highly recommend to give this place a try. read more

Not a lot of options when you are traveling through this isolated part of the desert, but it is one of the best choices. The Chef salad with garlic bread is one of the best! I am dissapointed to recently discover that my favorite item the open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and cranberry is no longer served. I am still salivating from writing that, LOL. I love that they restaurant has a cozy side and a full bar side. I decided one year to celebrate my birthday here instead of celebrating my birthday where I live in West Hollywood. It was a nice change of pace and the restaurant was so accomodating with food and drink and at a price that was so incredibly fair. If you need a space for a celebration or catering for a home party, give them a call. Good food from one of those off the highway American diners on Route 66. read more

My server was an nice, little older lady. She was sweet as could be. The decor and atmosphere were perfect. The food was subpar. The steak was cooked to perfection. Wait, I mean the fat was cooked to perfection. When I pay nearly $30 for a steak, I don't want it to have a ton of fat. That is what I got for my dinner. Overall, if you can afford it, the food is decent. However, expect a lot of fat. read more

Quaint, clean, throwback diner with lovely staff. Ordered the fish dinner and it was a delicious and generous portion. Minus a star because a thin slice of cheesecake was ridiculously priced at $7. read more

We stopped in while passing through on a long road trip and were so glad we did! The service was excellent, and the music created such a wonderful atmosphere. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. From the outside, it looks like a simple diner, but you would never guess how great the food really is. The French toast was amazing! My husband ordered the breakfast sandwich, which came with hash browns, and he loved it. Our waitress, Yesenia, was awesome & friendly, attentive, and made our visit even better. We would definitely stop here again! read more

Stopped with some trepidation on a Sunday evening, not a soul in the place Ordered the burrito and spaghetti How can you go wrong with that I've never had spaghetti with pineapple pieces at first bite it tasted like the sauce was *salsa" the kind you use for chips. The meat in the sauce was very tiny pieces of what looked to be meatloaf After the initial shock on the taste , being hungry and with no other options insight proceeded to eat. The burrito was large but not quality. The carne asada was not top quality was a bit tough, and at first bite had a little tang With guacamole and sour cream on top it helped certainly not one of the best but could have been worst Personally I would not eat here again The service was good, waitress was very nice, but the food read more

This is a decent place to stop while traveling up the 395 Hwy. The food was good, the service was FANTASTIC, we enjoyed sitting in the back bar area which my coworker mentioned was renovated about a year ago. I had the Southwest omelet and it was pretty good. As my side I ordered the biscuits and gravy and while the gravy looked a little watery it turned out to be very delicious. Grateful for a clean good restaurant on a long drive. read more

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel Yeah, we're goin' to the Roadhouse We're gonna have a real Good time!! This probably wasn't the Roadhouse Jim Morrison was singing about in The Doors classic rock song, Roadhouse Blues, but who knows? I will tell you what I know about this place, though. It's my favorite stop on my frequent road trips to Las Vegas. I've been a loyal customer for nigh on to twenty years. Highway 58 used to take you right to the front door. But ever since they "improved" Highway 58, most trafiic whizzes by this cool little restaurant. You practically can't even see it from the highway now. So what makes this my favorite place to stop on my journeys across the desert? First off, this place is a like a big slice of American Pie. It has that old school diner vibe, with cozy booths and also counter seating. The waitresses are almost my favorite part of each visit. I just love those wonderful ladies! The waitresses here look the part, too. The whole restaurant looks like something from a Hollywood movie. The waitresses look they were sent from Central Casting. But they're not actors, they're the Real Deal. Now, in case you've never worked in a restaurant, let me tell you, it's gruelling work. Sometimes the waitresses here might seem a little curt or less friendly than you might expect. You need to have a little perspective, OK? If you're going to be the kind of customer that gets offended because you weren't greeted immediately and fawned over, get over yourself. Yeah, sometimes you have to seat yourself. Big whoop. Let me also add that the restrooms are dated, but in good repair and always very clean. There aren't that many places to stop between Mojave and Barstow, and more than once this place has saved me from an unspeakable fate. I have had many meals here. To be perfectly honest, some were good, some not so good. It all seems to come down to what you order. I have a peculiar knack for ordering the wrong thing, so I'm not going to give you any insight about what to order. But reading other reviews will give you more information about what's good on the menu, meal wise. What makes this a Must Stop Here place for me are the empanadas. Oh my god, you have to try these empanadas! They make two kinds, apple and pineapple. The apple empanadas are very good. But the pineapple empanadas absolutely kick ass. The pastry is so tender, so flaky. The dusting of cinnamon sugar on top gives the empanada a little bit of a crunch. And the pineapple filling is just the right combination of sweet and tart. In addition to the empanadas, there are a lot of other very attractive pastries in the little case next to the register. I always say, someday I'm going to try this one or that one, but I never do. I'm true blue. I always, always get the pineapple! The secret is, they're made in house. There's a Mom or a Grandma back there in the kitchen making these magnificent empanadas by hand. Again, I'm talking about the Real Deal here! If you stop by and get your empanadas to go, like I usually do, you can ask for them to heat the empanadas up for you. They're a million times better heated than straight out of the pastry case, so don't forget to ask for them to warm them empanadas up! One last thing: we all know how important it is to support local, independent businesses, especially in these weird (almost) post-Covid times. If you find yourself on Highway 58, please stop in here and spend some dough. We simply can't afford to lose any more of these pieces of genuine Americana.

The breakfast was great and lunch is ok but I'm not big on lunch. What are great items here are the chocolate shakes and apple pie. They make their own pies and is one of the best I've ever had. Not too sweet like most. read more

An absolute gem of a pit stop. The food is DE-LI-CIOUS, service very kind and efficient. No nonsense dishes in a very clean "roadside" setting. We loved our omelettes and devoured the corn muffin. We even bought an extra one for the road. A perfect stop on a long road to/from Mammoth. read more

I haven't been back here in years and on my way up to Big Pine recently, my stomach was telling me to pull over and get some sustenance. There are several choices to decide on for food around this intersection but I love the mom and pop style diner this place exudes. I ordered the double deluxe burger and fries and that was a meal large enough to entice me to take a nap in the car before heading back on the road. The two burger patties were juicy and the thick onion ring added crunch and additonal flavor to round out that hearty burger. The fries were also just to my liking; crispy but not overdone. The lone waitress handled the 6-7 tables very well. She was attentive and ensured my water was always filled and maintained her genuine smile. read more

I sure wish this was closer to me - I would come here everyday! We were warmly greeted by a fabulous server who was literally running all of the tables and doing an amazing job to be sure everyone was well taken care of. The food was home cooked style and tasted outstanding! The price was perfect as were the portion sizes. Close to the 395 for many to come in and enjoy on their travels. read more

Stopped here and on the way to hike up to Rae Lakes. Twas slapping hard. Got a tuna melt with side salad and two pancakes. Tuna melt was delicious, lots of butter on the toasted bread. Super tasty. Side salad was ehh. Got Italian dressing and it was not really Italian. Pancakes were hella good. Prices are super reasonable. Service was fast. I don't think you'll be blown away by the experience but a comfy spot for solid food. read more

Stopped here on the way back from Yosemite. Aaaaand damn was it a great choice! Tracy helped us with our dining experience and she was AWESOME! Her service and care made my family super happy and full. The food here is also very good. It has a wonderful small town diner feel. All the food selections you would want. We ordered 2 ribeye dinners. Very good value for the portions, quality and extras. We also got the chicken and fries basket. The tenders were also above average which made my kids happy. Tracy was TERRIFIC! We have some food allergies (no pork) and she was ontop of things to make sure none of the food contained any pork in anything. Tracy is very friendly, polite and respectful and we hope to give Tracy another visit in a few months. THANK YOU TRACY!! read more

Their breakfast looks awesome too!! read more

Very good omelettes and hash browns! The biscuits and gravy I ordered tasted like flour. Only flour. No flavor, so don't get that! I asked the server if they had fresh salsa. She looked at me like I was nuts and said no. Weird. W. T. H??? No salsa???? Was that just lazy, or they truly don't make fresh salsa? I'll never know. Therefore, the 4 star instead of the 5 the cooks deserved. Place is clean and comfy. read more

Good quick stop for an on the road today. Food was hot and well served. Staff was very friendly restaurant, clean and friendly.

Kramer Junction isn't really a town, as it's simply a collection of businesses that cater to highway travelers, clustered at the busy intersection of highways U.S. 395 and CA 58, in eastern Kern County, a few miles east of the small mining town of Boron, CA. You'll find gas stations, convienience stores, roadside stands, and a couple of fast food restaurants. Personally, I'll pass on the fast food restaurants, as I prefer to enjoy delicious truck stop diner cuisine at Roadhouse Restaurant, located at the 76 Gas Station. As you enter the restaurant, you'll notice the bakery counter, along with the "Please Seat Yourself" sign. The bakery is co-located with the restaurant, so you'll be enjoying fresh pastries, pies and bread. The dining room is in an "L-shape," with the kitchen, counter, and booths to the left, with more booths to the right, and a semi-private large dining room, furnished with tables, straight ahead. Roadhouse Restaurant is very serious about breakfast, as breakfast is served any time the restaurant is open. I would imagine this is due to the fact the menu caters to trucker, and highway travelers, who are noted for enjoying a fine breakfast at any hour. From the "Classic Egg Combos" of the "Breakfast Served All Day" menu, I went with "Sausage and Eggs." You get to choose between link or patty sausage, I went with link. Naturally, you get two eggs cooked any style; I went with eggs over easy. Your breakfast comes with hashbrown potatoes, fresh fruit or cottage cheese, and your side choices are biscuit and gravy, pancakes or toast. In my case, going with hashbrowns with the biscuit and gravy was an easy choice! Such a pretty presentation, with the slice of orange and sprig of parsley for enhancement! The mark of a good breakfast chef is when you order eggs fried over easy, they arrive ... over easy. My two eggs were cooked perfectly, as ordered. My three link sausages weren't anything special, but they were tasty and really made my breakfast great. You get A LOT of hashbrown potatoes, and my order of hashbrowns was cooked perfectly crispy and golden on the inside, and tender chewy on the inside. The hashbrowns were absolutely perfect, as they weren't salty or greasy, and were delicious. I loved the bowl of biscuit and gravy. A bakery is co-located with the restaurant, so the biscuit was fresh from the bakery, cut in halves, and topped with creamy, thick, country gravy, that features lots of chunks of sausage. The biscuit and gravy really "made" the breakfast, but I'm a sucker for biscuits and gravy, and order them as a side, anytime they're offered. A pot of coffee, along with "bottomless" mugs of coffee rounded out my fine breakfast. I really enjoyed my delicious breakfast, as the food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the price was very reasonable. Roadhouse Restaurant is definitely a diner, and a truck stop, but it's more than that, as it's a great restaurant to enjoy a fine meal when you're in the Mojave desert, a long ways from civilization. When you're traveling along CA 58, half way between the towns of Mojave and Barstow, and you're in the mood for delicious food, do what truckers, fifth-wheelers and those who love American "comfort food" do... stop at Roadhouse Restaurant and enjoy a delicious meal! read more
