I rarely catch Bird House open during regular business hours, but the few times I have, it's been a…read morereal treat. I first discovered the spot thanks to the famous "Date Shake" billboards lining the route between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. While the shake itself is a bit too sweet for my taste, I really enjoy their dairy-free date smoothie (no ice cream or whipped cream). We've tried both, and we consistently prefer the lighter, fresher taste of the smoothie. On that same trip, we also managed to visit while they were open and grabbed a traditional chicken sandwich, a spicy chicken sandwich, and an order of chili cheese fries. If you miss their regular hours, they stock prepackaged versions of the sandwiches in the attached gas station until they sell out. In my experience, they're usually gone by 10 PM, so don't rely on them as a late-night backup if you're hungry. The prepackaged sandwiches are slightly soggier from sitting in the packaging, but they're still very good -- just a little wetter than when made fresh to order. I definitely prefer the spicy version. It delivers a nice, warm heat without being overwhelming. Each sandwich comes with two thick breaded chicken tenders and pickles, and they offer their own spicy mayo as an optional topping. The chili cheese fries are on the smaller side, but they're tasty and come with freshly graded cheddar on top. I always prefer catching them open when possible, but if you're craving a chicken sandwich, the prepackaged ones are a solid option too. They're made fresh and then held under a heater, so the quality holds up surprisingly well.

I've stopped here many times over the years whenever I'm driving between Las Vegas and California…read more I've always considered myself a loyal customer, which is why today's experience was disappointing. This morning, we were on the road earlier than usual, so I called at 7:46 AM hoping to place an order for pickup at 8:00 AM when they opened. The employee who answered sounded annoyed and immediately told me I had to call back at 8:00 AM to place the order. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I understand policies and operating procedures. However, if staff are already in the building answering the phone, taking an order a few minutes early for pickup after opening seems like a simple way to provide good customer service and retain loyal customers. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming. In today's economy, customer service and repeat business matter. Because of the experience, I chose not to stop, didn't charge my Tesla there as planned, and took my business elsewhere. It's unfortunate because this was a place I regularly visited and recommended during my trips.

(4.25 STARS)…read more Memorial Day road trips always seem to create the best random discoveries, and Pit Stop Bar & Grill absolutely delivered. Tucked away off Victor Street in Barstow, this was a fun find while driving back to Los Angeles from Vegas over Memorial Day weekend. Big props to Haley M., who was basically running a one-woman show and somehow kept the entire place moving with a great attitude and solid service. That alone made the stop memorable. The location has a cool, laid-back vibe with plenty to keep people entertained while grabbing food and drinks. They've got two billiards tables, a dart board, and all kinds of classic bar games, board games, and card games, including UNO, which is a family favorite. They also have several televisions. The food was all good too. I really enjoyed the Green Chili Burger, and everyone else in my party seemed genuinely happy with their meals as well. I felt they were trying to nickel and dime when I got the bill, i was charged for a side of ranch, a side of BBQ, and had no idea I was being up charged for the onion rings. I didn't say a word, but it hit wrong with me. .75 points deducted. What especially stood out to me, though, was the Memorial Day place setting displayed near the front entrance honoring our veterans and fallen heroes. It was simple, respectful, and genuinely touching. See my picture. That detail said a lot about the heart behind this place. If you're making the Vegas-to-LA drive and want something more memorable than the usual freeway fast-food stop, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great atmosphere, friendly energy, and one of those spots you end up talking about later.

We asked the young lady helping us for her recommendation, so I went with the oxtails over rice, collard greens, and baked beans. They were so tender they fell right off the bone, and I made sure to clean every last bit that didn't. The gravy over the rice, with just the right amount of heat, was fantastic. My wife had the Salisbury steak with broccoli and yams and loved it just as much. We swapped bites and agreed this was the best food of our four week road trip. Portions were huge and prices were right in line with a typical restaurant, so the value was great too. It was 100+ degrees outside on July 5th, and the staff let us bring our dog Sarah in out of the heat, which we really appreciated. The young lady who helped us was friendly and professional the whole time, and it turns out she has a dog that looks just like Sarah, named Zoey. Small world. If you're anywhere near Barstow, this is a must visit.
