Slash X Ranch Cafe

Cool Little bar/hangout/kitchen etc. It's way out there on highway #247 between Barstow and Lucerne Valley. If you are traveling through the area, I highly recommend you stop here and get a burger and fries. Being my first time here, that's what I decided to go with, and I don't regret it at all. Nevertheless, they have other menu options which I'll be checking out next time I come through here. The place gets jam packed with weekend warriors, and it's kinda cool. The interior as you will see in my pics, is super cool. But they also have a huge outdoor eating area where most visitors prefer to go. Needless to say, I really like this place and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through, or Even those who want to venture out and go visit a cool place in the middle of nowhere. Lol

I recently visited a restaurant/bar in Barstow, CA and I must say, it was one of the coolest places I've been to. The atmosphere was fantastic, the employees were friendly and the food was amazing. It's definitely worth a stop, especially if you're out on the trails. What's even better is that you can trail to and from the place, so no need to deal with streets and pesky concrete roads. Overall, a wonderful spot for lunch or a casual hangout. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

What a great find for our road trip from northern California to southern California. They have a lovely big shaded patio where our dogs could hang with us and made the 93F day feel pretty comfy. Kids enjoyed running around the yard since no one else was around. The staff was friendly and helpful. Food was overall pretty good quality with the fried zucchini having a perfect ratio of flavorful batter to zucchini pieces. Burgers were good and kids gobbled up the corn dog. Definitely recommend stopping here.

Tried the breakfast burrito. Not the best. Not well seasoned and had a taste of too much oil. Didn't taste fresh. But the ranch, scenery is beautiful. Todd, the bartender was very nice . Good service.

Eh...they were busy which obviously we knew the wait would be long. When the food arrived (an hour later, and behind about 15 people who ordered after us) it wasnt all correct. They made it right immediately but the quality and taste wasnt great. Its bar food in the desert, I get that, just cold limp fries after waiting an hour and an overcooked burger that was cold wasnt a great experience. Beer was cold though and aside from the prices made it a little better.

Watch what you eat from here we got food poisoning this past weekend. The ketchup had a weird taste, which I m assuming they make their 1000 island with. Their lettuce was slimy and brown. The place is nice and the service is wonderful just be careful with the food.

I strongly urge you all to go eat and hang out here if you are traveling nearby. Great burgers. Great fries and the fried zucchini sticks are even better. A great selection of beers, A great owner, friendly and efficient staff and they are part of harvest host, so you can overnight in the 40 acres behind the cafe. What a cool building. It s a former bunkhouse for the ranch-hands that is from the early 50s Lots off cool antiques and collectibles, so there s tons to look at including a bunch of vintage dirt bikes

Its Slash X, its a staple of the off-road community in Johnson Valley. Ive ridden my bike here with my pops and his friends since I was little and now Ive taken my sons there in my SxS. The staff is always awesome even if they are slammed on some weekends, they still pump the food and beer out as fast as they can. The atmosphere is great, total desert bar that is exactly what you expect and need after a long day of blasting through the desert. I hope my sons bring their kids here one day. Make sure you pay attention pulling out and crossing the highway, cars and rigs come flying through there without slowing down.

This is a charming country restaurant and bar filled with entertaining decor. Service was friendly and fast. The prices are reasonable. I wish I could give it 5 stars. But the food lacked in quality this morning. Chicken strips were too brown. It s clear that the grease had not been changed. The breakfast eggs were a bit over cooked for over easy, the ham and hash browns were over done. Their grill is too hot. Plus food is on the bland side.
