As long as the beer is cold, food is freshly made, and the group can gather around to chit-chat after that long and fun back country drive, I have no complaints.

It’s a decent rest zone for a leisure drive, place is clean, shaded outside seating, fast WiFi, and food is good enough

Surprisingly great fries for a place with zero competition! Also an amazing lemonade slushy. Add milkshakes and it will be perfection.

On a Hamilton ride and bummed to have just missed the open hours. But wait! The super nice owner came out and offered water and to open up just to sell us all some cold beverages, really helped make the day. Such a cute spot, can’t wait to time it better and come back to enjoy the food as well!

Great place to come with your friends for a day trip from the Bay Area. Great food. Can’t say enough about proprietor Nate.
My bike buddy and I were doing a loop starting from San Jose and culminating in a climb (and descent) of Mt. Hamilton from Mines Road this past Sunday. Stopped at Rainbow Junction for a quick bite - split an order of garlic fries and had a strawberry lemonade. Both excellent - the fries were perfectly seasoned and salted. Of course when you're getting ready to climb the back side of Hamilton, carbs and salt are an absolute must! There was a big group of friendly motorcyclists enjoying their lunches there as well and we had a nice chat with them.
Only open on the weekends, but if you're a cyclist in the area make sure to plan your ride to stop here for eats and drinks. They have a huge selection of beverages to choose from! Operated by friendly folks and also they have wi-fi and accept cards and electronic payments (Apple/Google Pay) which is especially appreciated since the last owners were cash only. We'll be back!

The Rainbow 🌈 Junction is open weekends only so far. The new owners are super friendly. The food has been satisfying, fresh and delicious the couple times I’ve been there. Gluten-free and vegetarian options available. They hope to extend hours to include dinner.
Camping is available on hipcamp. Great spot for stargazing. We saw a great view of the comet. Friendly staff. Plenty bicycles and motorcycles stop and hang out.
Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, gluten free, vegan options.

Re-opened in March 2024, pictures is Nate the new proprietor. Super views, easy menu and food prepped on the spot, selection of cold beverages in cans/bottles. I could sit in the reading room all day and hang out. What a great stop along CA-130.

This place is so great! The road leading up to it is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful in California. And at the end of it is rainbow junction! Great burgers, and camping, and a beautiful hike over the hills (for campers only) and coming soon are the done sites for glamping!
Do not miss this opportunity for a perfect one day excursion.
