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

Stopped at this restaurant on our way back home from Arizona , the place was clean , Their menu had alot variety which my family liked , and breakfast all day . We all ordered from breakfast items to seafood items. The wait for food was not long at all the items came out pretty fast. The food itself was good decent . Our waitress Veronica was so nice and attentive. Never once saw her not smile . Sadly we don't travel this road often but will make a note for whenever we do pass through again :) read more

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

Great coffee Cybee was a polite server. My Home Wrecker sandwich was delish! My friend ordered a barb b que chicken sandwich that she reported as being pretty good. Both sanwhiches came with plenty of golden French Fries. I arrange my travels through The 395 around being able to eat here. I like the comfort food! read more

Perfect roadside respite from the grueling highway. Good food, SUPER CLEAN bathrooms and delightful waitresses. Wait staff was just as friendly to us road Warriors as they were to the locals. I had the taco salad (no picture, because I scarfed it down before thinking) and it was plentiful and freshly made. If you need a break from the road, get in here! You'll be glad you stopped. read more

Roadhouse Restaurant - Front entrances - American Near Me - Boron, California

Boron, California at Kraemer's Junction (HWY 395/58). The highlights to this humble eatery is it's (lack of) competition. Chris Rock famously states 'your as good as your options.' Considering the options don't exist in this outskirt region of the California High Desert, how can I give it less than three stars or a sultry C average rating? Service: C Nothing special. Staff has the whole 'i don't care, leave me alone' attitude which is still an upgrade from the 'get the effe outta here disposition.' Location: D Located between Barstow & Mojave/CA City going East/West. Nestled between Ridgecrest & Victorville going North/South. So yeah~! It's in the middle of nowhere. Decor/Interior: C Plain Jane. Food: C Average commercial foods smashed together for our convenience. Severe hunger shouldn't apply since the surrounding cities contain all of Yelp's favorite corporate sponsors, and the majority of Yelp Elite's preferred palette which if you didn't notice is something along the lines of "I don't know what I like as long as the food is cute, makes nice pictures for social media sites to get all the coveted attention and you are truly amazing quotes when spelling is not on par with first graders," or basically super salty food. Pricing: B $10-15 per skinny adult. $15-20 per fatty. Overall: C Nothing special about this place. There was a subway in a gas station across the street and Astro Burger was not open at 6am. Safe traveling friends. www.cleeshyun.com IG @cigarcpa read more

Stopped here twice on our way in and out of Bishop on the 395. Both times the service and food were excellent! No waiting to get seated. I ordered the 10 oz. Top Sirloin Steak and eggs breakfast. Asked for Medium Well. The steak was awesome! Exactly Medium well, along with great Hash Browns and perfectly over easy eggs. Even the coffee was of good quality. The service both times was fast and courteous with a smile. My wife ordered the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast, and she loved it. Would go here again. Would recommend 100%. Parking was also super easy, and there happens to be a several fuel stations in this junction too. Why not stop by? read more

Found this place on the way towards Bakersfield on Hwy 58. The place is very quaint and home-y. The service we received was top notch. Thank you Kim for the great experience and food -- it was very filling. My friend loved the sweetened iced tea -- it was consistently the perfect level of sweetness. If you're in the mood for ube ice cream & Filipino spaghetti, this is your best bet in the area. read more

Very good food and service in a tiny town on the 395 highway. Even with the good yelp reviews I was surprised at how great this place was. We had a bbq chicken sandwich, onion rings, fries, grilled cheese and potato salad. Everything was hot, fresh and very good. The waitress came back to check on us several times and was very nice. Too bad we are only passing through. I wish this place was close to home. read more

Roadhouse Restaurant - Chili burger - American Near Me - Boron, California

I love the sign that simply says "RESTAURANT." That's what it's all about, no nonsense road food for the weary traveler. Every fall I head to the Eastern Sierra for some fly fishing and a stop at RESTAURANT to/from is always on the agenda. I'm usually there for breakfast and I love the carafe of coffee so you can pour your own. Food is always great, service can sometimes be a little on the slow side but I'm on vacation so who cares? In general this place always delivers so a solid five stars for quality and consistency. Thank you RESTAURANT! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the little roadside restaurant right off the highway. The thing that caught my eye was the professional looking menu. I had southwest eggs and hash browns. I thought there was too much pepper in the gravy on the biscuit. The oatmeal was solid and definitely needed honey added (or brown sugar which was offered). The kids had burgers and the fries were nearly perfect. If I was in the area again I'd go back for sure. read more

I just moved into the area, Im always hesitant to try new food places, gave this one a try and it's my go to spot for club sandwiches! I love their French fries and ranch! Also took my family for my sister in laws birthday and they loved it! Customer service is awesome too! read more

Dog friendly and lots of home made baking goods. it's pretty much like a Denny's but it's a mom and pop operation. the big a jaw dropper was the $3.99 a coffee. I understand it's in the middle of "no where" but that is ridiculous! I know our server didn't make up the prices! But really? For that amount I could of gone to burger king next door. read more

For being in the middle of nowhere this little place is a gem. We've been here twice now and the food is delicious. Friendly service, quick service and delicious food. What more could you want. We were a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed their food. The bathrooms clean and the restaurant has ample seating. The booths are larger so they fit our whole family of 6. read more

If you stop for breakfast, get the French toast combo. They use homemade cinnamon bread to make it and it's fabulous. Great service to!

You can't go wrong for a place in the middle of nowhere. The service is speedy and very friendly. The sandwiches we had also hit the spot. Driving by and getting hungry? Give them a try. They also have breakfast all day too. read more

So there I was, out in the middle of the Mojave desert and hungry. Sitting at the intersection of walk and don't walk, I spied a little restaurant. Not in the mood for fast food and feeling kinda old desert road nostalgic, I decided to stop in. The place was very clean and quiet. A guy was out front picking up litter and tidying up the joint. Walking in I saw the "Seat Yourself sign and grabbed a window seat. The lady at the counter greeted me with a warm welcome and the waitress was soon at my table. Very friendly atmosphere. I ordered the tuna melt and dinner salad. The salad arrived at the table in just a minute or two. It was ice cold and excellent. The sandwich came right on time and was delicious. Bread toasted and plenty of tasty tuna with extra pickles on the side. I will definitely return again. read more

We wandered in after getting gas next door and what a delight. The service was excellent and the food tasted freshly homemade and delicious. The menu was extensive and our waitress said everything on the menu was available. My husband had burger and fries (great) and I had the scrabbled eggs with onions and cheese (one of my favorites). I would definitely try it anytime I'm in the area. read more

This is the place when my husband and I stop for breakfast on the way to camping/fishing. We always get Cinby serve us. She's the best that she always remember us even we come here just a few times a year. The place is very clean and the food is good, too. My husband wanted skip and keep going cuz we left late, but I insisted to stop here. It is our routine to stop here to have breakfast. Today I had Belgian waffle, eggs and ham. Syrup was very warm, actually very hot that I couldn't keep holding it. Waffle was toasty and crunchy, so for the very first time I ate all of it! My husband had biscuits breakfast with eggs, sausage patties and of course biscuits and gravy. He ordered 4 biscuits to go for breakfast tomorrow morning. We'll come back next time for sure. read more

A previous Yelper gave these folks a poor rating for being open without outdoor dining. Sad he chose to be the COVID police... These people were open throughout the pandemic with the exception of maybe 3 days in the beginning, requesting and receiving the Board of Supv. approval to remain open primarily to provide a much-needed service to the truckers who have faithfully delivered essential goods throughout the pandemic! It's too hot (or too cold sometimes) to eat outside in the evenings in Kramer Jct, and after a long haul truckers deserve a break! I always enjoy my meal stops here - it's the right location on an eight hour drive from the Yuma to the Central Valley. Great service, and although the food isn't anything overly fancy, it's just good ol' fashioned home cookin'! read more

This restaurant is at Kramer Junction, which doesn't have a lot of choices, and it's pretty good. The service is OK, the food is fresh, and good value. I had the ribeye steak medium rare and it was done perfectly. It was huge! (See photo). It also comes with soup or salad and dessert. The salad for pretty basic, and fresh. I ate the whole thing and took half the steak and baked potato to go. I got the bread pudding for dessert, and it is delicious. (See photo). There is only one server, and she brought out the food in good time. A good place to take a break from driving long distance! read more

After hungrily driving through a whole lot of nothing on the 395, we were pleased to see a sign that said "RESTAURANT." I was on my handy dandy Yelp app trying to decide between going to the Roadhouse or Astro Burger across the street. Since Astro Burger is cash only, Roadhouse won. 2.5 stars was a little concerning but our party of 14 was pleased with our decision to eat here for a late lunch. As soon as we chose our booths, the servers approached us right away. The asked us how we wanted to split our checks, which allowed us to avoid any long delays in paying. The food came out quickly and the service was good. I ordered the chicken fingers and fries which was surprisingly tasty. My friends ordered the Southern Fried Chicken dinner which was a 3-course meal for $10! It came with a bowl of chili, mashed potatoes, 4 pieces of fried chicken, fruit salad, and a dessert. The fried chicken and the bread pudding were especially delicious! All in all, this is a good place to stop if you're hungry on the way to / from Mammoth and if I'm ever in the area again... I will stop here! Bonus tips: CLEAN RESTROOMS! Breakfast served all day! read more

For as long as we've been going to Lake Tahoe starting in the 1980s, we've been stopping for breakfast on the way at the Roadhouse Restaurant. What can you say about a place that's been in business for what seems since the beginning of recorded history, doesn't appear to do any advertising and doesn't even have a website, but has a loyal following of travelers that keep coming back for more? This place is in the middle of nowhere, which means it doesn't rely on the locals to keep the doors open and the lights on. Its only real competition at the intersection of Hwy 395 and Hwy 58 in Kramer Junction are a Subway, a Burger King and an independent fast food joint called Astro Burger. Since breakfast is the meal we always have there, today's breakfast for a pair of hungry couples was prepared and served with the care we've come to expect, even when the visits are separated by years. The server asks up front how the checks should be split to avoid conflict later and doesn't even flinch at the sound of special requests like poached eggs and hash browns made to order instead of shoveled from the pile on the griddle. The food for the price is more than a match for the big national breakfast chains and the ambiance is "stay as long as you like, we'll keep bringing coffee" casual. The decor is late 20th Century in the "Coffee Shoppe That Time Forgot" motif but in these crazy times when you're on the way to rest and relaxation, that's the kind of place where you want to spend some time to start the process of unwinding. read more

Classic diner on your road trip awaits you! I have tried almost all item on the menus over the last 20 years of going to the Roadhouse on our way through Boron Four Corners and I have had no comply at all.

The homemade cookies bagged up by the register are delicious my favorite menu item is the roadrunner turkey melt, oh and the ranch dressing is delicious! My father highly recommends the chili burger, I highly recommended giving them a try on your way through read more
