Saturday, 3/14/2026 - We stopped by Barstow Burger on our way home. Address is 1507 E Main St,…read moreBarstow, CA 92311. We decided to try a different burger joint vs the typical In-N-Out, McD, Burger King, Carl's, Jack, etc. Boy am I glad we stopped by here. Pros 1) they had a Burger menu, as well as other Mexican food dishes and desserts on the board. Love the variety! 2) restaurant looked clean. I didn't see any dirty tables, trash on the floor, or sticky counters. 3) cashier, Andrea, was very nice. 4) we got the grilled cheese sandwich ($3.99), mushroom burger ($6.50), and a combo which is a bacon burger with added cheese & fries ($10.99). If you add cheese, it's an additional $0.85. For something so simply and normal, these were delicious. Burgers were so juicy, bread soft, meat good, and flavorful. Little one loved the grilled cheese sandwich. Fries were made perfectly. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and seasoned with salt perfectly. Made me think I should have tried a Mexican dish instead of the mushroom burger. Lol If a burger can be that good, the Mexican dish must be even better. 5) no soft music here. Restaurant is very quiet. The customers who arrived were all very quiet. 6) love how as soon as Andrea see someone come to the counter, she immediately walks to the register to take orders. 7) it's our 1st time there and she didn't rush us or give us an attitude, while ee were still deciding what to order because there were quite a few stuff on the menu. 8) nice large parking lot. Cons 1) bathroom was closed due to them just mopping the floor. But I understand that. Sometimes you want to clean stuff up so you can close and head home after. Versus staying late to clean. Conclusion We actually were very impress with the foods we ordered here. So good and juicy. No complaints. Andrea was very professional. I forgot to take pictures of our foods because it was that good. Plus we ordered to go and ate in the dark in our car. Lol I recommend this restaurant if you're on the move and need a quick grab. We had no issue.

Everything was insanely flavorful, and I'm not even a "bean" person, I hate beans... but these pinto beans were delicious! The workers are so welcoming and friendly, and checked on us often.

The blend was simple and yummy. It was big and I could only eat 1/2. The salsa was spicy and also flavorful. My partner had a torta and said the mess to eat it was worth it! Again, another good decision. The staff were friendly and helpful! We had a dog and so they let us take 2 chairs outside to eat. Thank you! The "ambience"was perfect for a late lunch as we were passing through town. I highly recommend this restaurant. As someone else said, don't let the location in a strip mall stop you.

Lucky this McDonald's is open 24 hrs, cause of all the traffic this place sees. Barstow Station is kinda of a weird place, more of a tourist place, than just a place to get food and get going. They have all these old train cars set of for indoor dining. We all find the restrooms is the main thing. Well, who can actually stop at a McDonald's and not get some French fries! None of us need a real meal, just a couple of more hours and we'll be in Vegas and have a hotel and get some sleep for our work ahead of us. So, it's orders of fries all around. That's gonna smell good inside the Suburban! I ordered on one of those kiosk thingies and our food was out on no time ... the fries are already cooked I assume! We outta here and back on the road.

We didn't know we had to order from the kiosk so we came to the counter. Workers were mad because we didn't know how that was supposed to be. They had a bad attitude and were rude about it. We spent over 80 dollars worth of food but were missing a drink when the order was served. We tried to tell them but the girl argued but when we brought her over to show. She counted and then told me I was missing a specific sweet ice tea instead of a unsweetened tea. I knew I was missing a drink but just didn't know which one. Why did she insist to argue like we were lying after spending almost a Bill at Popeyes. It's not the drink, we could have bough a thousand more if we wanted to but that's not the point. Management or whoever read this need to let their workers know that with attitude like that they are not making the business better.

Double-Double: The classic double burger. This time, without the Animal Style, the heat was much better. But it wasn't anything amazing; I don't know why it's so popular French Fries Animal Style: Absolutely awful. The mustard and melted, then solidified cheese made all the fries stick together, resulting in a greasy and sticky mess.

I'd say yes. We got a couple of soft chicken and hard beef taco combos so we could split them and try both. Again, for what it was, I was pleased. We got our food quickly and it was very easy and fast to order. The seating area was clean and we were able to get back on our way. It was fun to take in a California institution!

We found parking easily and walked on - as soon as we walked in we were greeted warmly - always a good sign! The inside was very clean - it took us a minute to remember the menu because we don't get there often. Ordering was easy and the person at the counter was super friendly! Food was made quickly and was very tasty, hot and fresh! When we were finished I went to thrown our trash and put the tray back and I noticed the gentleman who was making the food and told him everything was delicious! He was very friendly Would definitely stop here again

This has become our recent go-to stop when driving between Southern California and Las Vegas;…read morehowever, recent events have changed that decision. First, and probably the most important, they don't have Diet Pepsi, but Pepsi Zero. And Pepsi Zero is just awful. And yes, I tried it. I admit that I'm a fan of Coke products, but I'll survive on Diet Pepsi, never, but never Pepsi Zero. So that alone makes me not want to come here anymore. This trip, the girl taking our order seemed confused. Maybe she was new? But it didn't help that we had to explain we wanted a bowl of Chili, and even though it's not on the menu, they could sell it. I personally didn't want a burger this time, so I ordered a chicken sandwich, which is basically just chicken tenders on a bun. Not very impressed, but it wasn't as bad as Pepsi Zero. They do get credit for having a "senior" menu, which I ordered from. And I appreciate that they have tater tots. It seemed like a smaller portion, but it was actually perfect for me. I'll keep checking back, but if I see they still only serve Pepsi Zero, I might be walking over the McD's for my drink.

I was able to continue my dive with little to no delay.
