11 Best American Restaurants near Pioneertown

“Came here for the Placebo show a few days ago and while I didn't dine here that day since it was packed, I decided to come back the following day for lunch. The restaurant is spacious and the staff attentive and friendly. Lots of cool art and signed posters on the walls. Unfortunately for me, I got the vegan burger which lacked flavor but can't hold it against them as this didn't really seem like a place for vegans given the rest of the menu. My partner enjoyed his dish and overall it was a nice experience. I just want to add Placebo put on a hell of a show and the staff, venue, performance was perfect!!“

“Finally made it happen and had the most delicious organic lunch here, for the first time. Wonderfully eclectic & interesting crowd of diners. We had a table for 2 people and a dog within about 10 minutes on a Saturday. The service so friendly and helpful, we were offered drinks while we waited. A welcoming environment & great energy. Nice people, the owner herself and all who work there. Wonderful & cozy chic seating outside. Lots of well mannered dogs making the ambiance even that much more pleasing. This place has very talented & creative chefs. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Great service throughout meal. My hubby had the steak with grilled peppers while I had the most delicious Salmon Salad which was prepared with love & each ingredient such excellent quality. I think we were told our beef came from free range organic farm in Australia. The water they serve is from a local aquaphore and tastes excellent. If I remember correctly our desert was toasted parents with raspberries & a glaze that was uniquely tasty. We will definitely be back to this gem.“

“We passed up a few other real good spots in JT to grab a real late breakfast, and I'm so glad we did.The food and service here are beyond stellar! The Benedict BLT was out of this world. Such a fan after the first hit, can't wait to come back for more!“

“My husband and I come here every couplemonths and love to bring our family too! The mushrooms are always amazing, the burgers are perfect and I just tried the Buffalo chicken salad this weekend and it was amazing! It's hard to find a good salad around here and the portions are perfect! Thank you Amy and Efren for the amazing service and food this weekend!“

“Nothing super special. Shake was good. Dairy Queen is still the best so far, for shakes. Apparently the burger was quite good, my hubby had one. Pricey for fast food though. But Rockin Horse deal tip (IG @rockin.horse) is to download the app! You get a free shake (can only be redeemed after 4pm)“

“After several months, we scheduled a visit for Sunday brunch. The Staff was welcoming, the atmosphere was friendly, and the scenery was peaceful and calm. Our party of 3 was offered seats outside next to a fire pit near the first hole of the golf course and hesitatingly obliged. Although it was a bit overcast, the fire kept us warm, even in short sleeves. We enjoyed a nice Sunday brunch and would highly recommend this gem of a place out of the way, quietly awaiting those taking the side road from Vegas to L.A. Note: it closes at 3pm on Sunday, so arrive accordingly. We will definitely keep this on our list of safe places to get quality food at reasonable prices.“

“Went to Black Bear Diner and it was busy because it was a Sunday afternoon but that’s to be expected. Our waitress, Sherri, was awesome! Would recommend the chicken and waffles. It’s big enough to split. Also their ranch dressing is amazing.“

“The food was phenomenal. The meat was juicy and the sauce really complemented the flavor. We got the coleslaw and it had an incredible texture and taste. The mac and cheese had a home style and authentic cheese. The bun as well as the hoagie were light and flavorful. The service was amazing. The employees were friendly and helpful.Dietary restrictions: Staff was knowledgeable and there were plenty of gluten free options.“

“The Western diner is the perfect little school around if you are ever craving American food in Yucca. Our family got a variety of sandwiches and wraps, and they were all delicious for lunch. The wraps were crunchy and had fresh vegetables with tender meat to go along with it, and the burger was juicy Greasy and delicious. I also got the peach iced tea, which was amazing because of the fresh fruit added on top. For dessert our family got the Oreo milkshake and it was smooth and creamy. Delicious!“

“This place is great-- YOU bring the ambiance. The burgers + fries are exceptional and I was sold with a SpaceDust. It's not the place to go if you're in a rush, but really nice for sitting down and enjoying your company. Thankfully the people of Morongo Valley don't have to go far for a good burger!“

“It's an old school diner. Stopped in for breakfast. Everyone was welcoming. Service was great. Food was home cooked. Pricing fair for what we ordered. I had the sausage patty and eggs with biscuits and gravy and home fries. Coffee kept coming. Definitely have cash because we paid with card and no option to tip and when we asked cash tips only.“
