We came after a hike at three sisters fall. The service was great, the burgers were so big and delicious. We also had pie and it was amazing. Great place, would definitely repeat.

One of my favorite spots for a solid chicken fried steak. From other reviews, I'd say an issue they may have is staff/consistency. Which is a bummer, because it's very disappointing to take someone to a spot you've been raving about... only for it to be nothing like you remembered. Hopefully next time I go it's as good as last time. If I were a regular, I'd probably get to know who's working the kitchen when, and figure out when to avoid eating there. Sadly, this should be management's job, and they should make the appropriate moves to that the restaurant always have great food... but I know staffing issues are continuing for just about everyone, so it is what it is. Hope you luck out and eat there on a good day!Parking: Right out front in the dirt. So, if it's wet or raining, be prepared for mud.Kid-friendliness: Kids will dig the spot. A ton of decorations to look at and an outdoor patio area. This was a bit ago during winter, so too cold to really use at the time, but would be great during warmer weather.

Shared the Jack Daniels burger and onion rings. Overcooked frozen patty, time to change the fryer oil, and had to request drink refills twice even though the restaurant wasn't even at half capacity.

A country restaurant worth a drive. I live in Descanso, which is a little less than a half an hour from Alpine California. Normally mountain towns would not have the caliber of a restaurant like Descanso Junction Restaurant. (I can say this because I've lived in Utah, Colorado, Montana, and other small and large towns in the mountains) -you are lucky if you get a decent pizza. But this restaurant is a gem. The burgers are juicy, the chicken is mouthwatering, and the Jack Daniels tri-tip is to die for. On special occasions, like Valentine's Day, they serve a five star meal planned by Chef CJ. It's worth every dollar. So if you're looking for a rustic, yummy getaway, plan a trip to the Descanso Junction Restaurant.

Great food and cold beer. Homemade 1/2 lbs patty cooked to perfection. We were coming back from three sisters falls, a must stop.
