14 Best American Restaurants near Morongo Valley

“Friendly and Welcoming small town atmosphere bar and grill. Great service, food and drinks. Due to both the bartenders who also take your order and serve you. And, their great cook!“

“All residents of the Morongo Basin know that our home doesn't have much of a bar scene, which is fine for the granola munching rock climbers, ganja purists, and christian conservatives that prolly make up 90% of the population, but for those of us who love downing beer and belting along with the jukebox, making new best friends whose names you won't remember, or need a place to kill time before returning home up or down the hill, then the Monument Bar might be your home-away-from-groan! I'm always surprised that none of my acquaintances have heard of it, but then again, it IS the kind of place you'd miss even if you were looking for it. if you're headed there from Yucca, when you get to Cactus Mart, keep looking left and DON'T BLINK. When I lived in Morongo Valley I would try to go in at least once a week, because if I've learned one thing in 47 years of gypsy wandering it's that there's nothing like a good locals bar. It's a melting pot to be sure, the place could be full of scary bikers one day, and full of pronoun-defying LGBT's the next, but this, of course, is exactly what makes the place so great, and if you've been going there long enough, you can always take refuge with the regulars.

I could write the next Great American Novel describing the place if I hunch over my keyboard long enough, but I'll try to wrap this up with some "things done right" bullet points:
- daily drink specials
- taco Tuesday, and usually some kind of special on Hallmark Holidays
- outdoor patios (equipped w/ fire pit in the winter)
- a bewildering number of menu items for such a small place, if you're the indecisive type, just get the signature monument burger...and the food is also bewilderingly good for pub fare, and if judged in that context, bump my 3-star rating up to 4.5
- Chad is a great bartender. Treat him well, and he'll return the compliment.

That should do it. I should've made a review years ago, and a recent visit reminded me how remiss I've been, even under new ownership, it was exactly liked i'd hoped it would be...as if a month had gone by and not a year. I <3 this bar!

Vegetarian options: not many, but theres salad, fries, pizza options

Parking: limited paved spaces out front, large dirt lot in back“

“great staff good food and all around pleasant experience hands down my opinion is the best bar and restaurant in yucca valley. I haven't experienced a live performing artist yet all though I look forward to the day I do so with anticipated optimistic experience“

“My favorite stop when driving to Arizona. I love there pancakes. Now I can get my favorite omelet and add pancakes for $2.00. I love their servers they really work as a team. Their cooks always make my food perfect.“

“All Star Burger is definitely a good addition to the limited variety of places to eat in DHS. They have a very good selection to choose from , ranging from breakfast, lunch & dinner as well as Mexican & American dishes. The prices are reasonable, the portions are filling , the people are friendly and most importantly (to me at leat) it was CLEAN!.
My son and I had breakfast bit will be returning to try their burgers ?“

“Came here for the first time and didn’t know what to expect. Walking in, there is bar seating to the right and dining tables on the left. The whole place has a dive bar vibe, but in an awesome way. My husband ordered the everything burger and I ordered the brisket cheese burger. we both absolutely loved our burgers as they were cooked to perfection. Also, the condiments were fresh and tasty. We also ordered a couple beers on tap. The marshmallow stout was delicious. I can’t wait to come back here again for more!! For people considering bringing in the whole family: I would say it is not a rowdy bar but it is more oriented towards adults.

Kid-friendliness: It depends how mature your kids are.“

“Always great food & service. Now open for dinner Friday and Saturday nights!“

“Tortillas soup delicious, la mejor que he probado! Todo muy limpio y comida deliciosa, excelente customer service, very attentive and friendly staff!“

“When traveling to find a place to eat near Pioneertown my family came across what looked to be a rather unremarkable place from the roadside, upon entering the establishment we were greeted by the friendliest staff in California and seated promptly. I had a tri tip steak sandwich which was tender and appropriately proportioned to where someone could both finish the meal satisfied and have no left over food. The one thing I would like changed to the establishment the next time I visit is the layout of the restaurant as it is enclosed in some parts and was difficult to see/ hear the live band where my family was seated which was near the stage. Overall a must go when visiting Pioneertown.“

“Friendly and great food and service“

“All Star is always tasty, and convenient in its location in Sky Valley if you don't want to have to go anywhere far.
Has decent American and Mexican fare.
Good breakfast foods.
I would say the only somewhat negative would be it's a little pricey for what it all is, however, you're pretty much paying for convenience.
Side note, their French fries have a tasty season salt on them ?“
