Stopped on my way to San Diego to get lunch. Got the cheeseburger and chili cheese dog and was impressed. They also have really good soft serve ice cream too! I recommend stopping here if you are ever passing through and need a bite.

Great little spot to stop at on your way to and from California and Arizona. Employees were super nice, food was fresh and delicious. Definitely plan to go back on future road trips!

Saw this place on TikTok and convinced the fam we should stop on our way to mission beach. Such a good choice for lunch. I got the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a chocolate shake. It was all so good. The staff were super friendly and overall pretty quick considering it is basically cooked to order. The seating is outdoor, small town in the pines, sup chill.

All the shakes and ice cream are good. Out of the food I've only had the chili cheese fries and they are good. My friends have ordered the burger and they like it. Definitely get the "frings", it's an order of onion rings and fries because they're both so good you have to get both! They give big servings! They're always very busy so you might have to wait a while but they are short handed so be kind and patient. The wait is worth it.nsuch a beautiful location in pine valley.

Stopped in from the highway, it is SO cute and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Prices I thought were fair (about $10 for a cheeseburger meal). Food took awhile to come out but was piping hot. The burger was flavorful and the sesame bun was soft and almost sweet! The corn dog was amazing. The fries were very soggy unfortunately. Comparable to a five guys burger in my opinion. Great spot!

Stopped in for a chocolate shake after a day on the trail. I had been here before as a destination on motorcycle rides, so I already knew what to look forward to. The shake was prepared quickly. The flavor was awesome as expected. The two others in our group seemed to enjoy their food. There is a variety of food and treats to choose from. There is no restroom. There is a restroom located across the street at the park. If stopping here, it would be wise to plan accordingly.

Worth a stop! The prices are a bit high, but the food is good and it's a staple for the area along old highway 80. Minutes from the Cleveland National Forest and perfectly situated on your way to the Laguna Mountain Wilderness. The music they play here is great! Gives a nostalgic feeling of the old days of burgers, dogs, and soft serve roadside locations. Help keep it alive and visit!

Food is great. Had a mountain burger and it was really good. There really is no service. They take your order at the window and call your number. Only outdoor seating. Contend with flies and broken patio furniture and or no shade. That's the part that sucks. Otherwise great little stop.
