Adorable cafe with a hearty menu and a terrific staff! Great little spot to grab something substantial to eat on your way to and fro.

The food quality is just average and not worth the price. If I come here again, I’ll go to the next exit where there are many more options.

Nice little place I had the ground round and eggs breakfast home fries. Everything was very good home fries were real home. Fries had right toast very good and fresh. Everything was great for a reasonable price for today’s prices I shall return.

4 of us ordered hamburger and French fries and it was good. My husband ordered a piece of cherry pie and it was just ok. The waitress said they aren’t that busy. The atmosphere: it’s an old cafe and the bathrooms are terrible. Prices are high.

Was driving back from a fun Labor Day weekend, first in Vegas and then in Needles CA, on our way back this restaurant was the one of the only options that we encountered to dine at. We arrived at the gas station ⛽ nearby and checked the DQ to see a ridiculously long line for both a meal and the bathroom!
We called Ludlow Cafe, not only were they open they had almost now one there with plenty of room to sit and eat!
We ordered, the French dip, pancakes, biscuits with gravy, and burgers! Aside from it being reasonably priced, the service was incredible and the food was great!
There was incredibly good energy and I can tell it's a local gem because I certainly saw it's shine!
Has some great history on the back of the menu and on some plaques outside, highly recommend!
To our server, she was incredible forgive me I almost forgot to leave the review and her name slipped my mind but both her and the bus boy were incredible folks! Happy Labor Day (4pm Labor Day 2025)

It’s a great stop between Barstow and Lake Havasu. Fun, friendly, and historic. Nice view of parked semi trucks.

The worst place we have eaten at after 15 days travelling the west coast. The waitress who served us was unfriendly, the burgers and sandwiches were of poor quality, you have to pay extra for the mayonnaise and, to top it off, when we went to pay they wouldn't let us pay with a credit card. Please don't stop there. Not bad, terrible.

Food was good . They had some I guess homemade jelly in lil container sitting on tables but no date. What's up with that? Although I was trying to save a lil money so I ordered a biscuit and gravy with a side of home fries. Had id of known the price of the so calles side of home fries which was $5.99 I would NOT of ordered it. Because the simple fact is I could of got a WHOLE meal for a lil more but I compare the price or that and the biscuit and gravy I could of gotten a whole meal and my drink !!! So that ticked me off big time. I don't plan to stop there ever again!! And the 10% off from motel is just tax which I figured.
