i got yelp just to post this review. i really think they're taking advantage of the pricing because there's not many places to eat out here but you'd assume this place is cheap by the way it looks considering you're sitting in a general store with only 3 tables. (next to cleaning supplies) but the menu is pricey for the very poor food choices an $8 plain hot dog... at least throw some grilled onions on there?? and a $12 frozen patty burger... PLUS the fact that you're eating a small burger with no fries? invest the money into a fryer if you're going to be charging that much. anyway the service wasn't bad but the menu...

It's closed for now. They hope to reopen, but they said they have repairs to make. I was wanted to get some ice cream and a soda but that wasn't available as of now.

We ate at the old Randsburg General Store a few years back. Brad and Carol have now moved to the other end of town and opened The Vault. Great food and very friendly service. Wife had a plain cheeseburger and I had a double chili cheeseburger. As Brad suggested, you have to try the spicy pickles. They definitely make the burger have a special taste. Sat outside on a beautiful day. Glad we got there when we did. As we were walking back to the truck, a group went in. Will definitely be back when we're in the area.

The staff is friendly and inside there is a unique vintage atmosphere that takes you back to a simpler time. If you find yourself nearby, be sure to stop by and have a bite, you won't regret it.

This place is closed. It used to be bustling with good burgers and shakes. I don't know if it will re-open. FYI

A slight detour on route to Death Valley but well worth it. Such an interesting little town. We called into the General Store for lunch and opted for Jumbo Chili Dogs and Sodas which were great. The staff were really friendly and made us very welcome. Overall, a fantastic little place, well worth a visit.

The 395 can take you to some pretty amazing places. Mammoth, Lone Pine, Bishop. However, do yourself a favor and travel off the main road to Randsburg. A living ghost town. I was lucky enough to stop here on my way to lunch. The street was loaded with quads, side by sides and other off road vehicles. The Randsburg General Store has great food and an incredible history. Built in 1904 it's one of the oldest working soda fountains you can come across. I got myself a burger, grilled old school out back and a bag of chips (Don't ask for fries here). And I got a cherry soda, made with soda water and real cherry syrup. The food was amazing and the service was great. Do yourself a favor and stop by here if you're traveling up the 395. You won't be sorry. I'm glad I did.

We came here for the Old West Days and specifically wanted to see their old bar and soda fountain. We went inside and saw their GIGANTIC "Let's Go Brandon" flag draped across the restaurant. The whole town was brimming with Confederate flags. We left in disgust.

We have passed this town many times in the past without stopping. We stopped today and the only store open in this time capsule, was the general store. So glad we stopped. We had their amazing homemade root beer floats and their mint chocolate chip shake. Carol and Brad were kind and extreme knowledgeable about the town. They provided us with so much history and we walked around town after. If you are looking for a place to represent a historical town, this is the place. Visit the General Store and enjoy the stories.

Cool store with a lot of metal artwork. Looks like hotrods are being worked on in the back. Nice apparel as well.
Great place to visit! Pickup a souvenir hat or shirt. Old school good times !!!

it does not get much better than this little town. We have been coming here for some time now. I have never come here in a car only in ATV but that makes it that much better. Coming into town they are people waving and cheering and just good old laughter. The town has that old town vibe. There are a lot of people in dirtbike gear getting food and ice cream. They are awesome with allergies and there are no nuts in the shop. Want to have a souvenir they have clothing and stickers for sale. There are real bathrooms as well as a lot of history. The fire department is incredible we have seen them first had to get a call and be there super fast. There is no hospital near so airlifting is a normal thing and they are on it. Randsburg is a place that has a lot of fun memories for me and my family and friends. You should check it out.

A time capsule, preserved in the middle of the desert by the weather and loyal owners. Oldest soda fountain in the world, apparently, still serves up amazing lime sodas, and now they have burgers, hot dogs, pizzas, ice cream deserts. Plus the gift shop is amazing. 'Merica!

Im giving this place 3 stars here's why. First i will say that the food was good. It wasnt cheap for what it was though. I had ordered the bratwurst or it was some german sounding name for a hot dog. Anyway i thought it was going to be like a typical german sausage. What i got was a slightly bigger than normal oscar Meyer & or bar s type product & it cost 8 dollars.So that was a let down. The second and probably the most wtf thing was a mangy cat comes walking out of the kitchen area. This thing looks fucked up. And it had just woken up meaning this thing sleeps back there. And to find out theres another cat that sleeps in the kitchen. So im Thinking either this is fresh Chinese food or these things live in the kitchen.

Cherry limeade and a classic root beer float from a soda fountain! Such a great stop and such sweet people. Highly recommend!!
