Good food, good prices. I wasn’t that hungry so I just ordered a full order of biscuits and gravy. Everything tasted good. If you are looking for good breakfast food, fast service, and great prices. This is the place to go. I will be back!

Okay, from the outside this place looks like a dump. All the signage is very old and faded, it doesn't even look like it's open. But walk inside, and it's very cheery, the waitress was so sweet, and the food was good too. On the menu was listed many of the TV shows and movies, etc. where this restaurant has been filmed. I haven't searched yet to see if there are any listings beyond the 2017 on this list. When driving the 14 freeway North I don't really think about what's out there, so it was eye-opening to take Sierra Hwy, Sand Canyon, and some of the other little places off the freeway.

Food: 3, Service:5 and Atmosphere; 5. That sorta says it all. Typical breakfast, diner fare. The draw is the location and its history. Pretty sure my hamburger was at least partly soy and the green chili was slimy. I'll probably stay with breakfast if we go back and within 5 miles of our house and we pass it routinely picking up, dropping off our RV. Service was exceptional. Fast and courteous. Food got out quick as well. My wife enjoyed her breakfast food and the burger was edible but you come here for the Cindy Crawford Pepsi commercial, For the dozens of TV shows and movies filmed here. The place has provenance and is worth a visit if not quite regularity.

Halfway house is my (now 10 year old) son's annual request for our birthday breakfast together. We enjoy the food, talking with the staff, and chuckling about the signs on the walls. I do come at other times and always have a great experience, but I especially appreciate the staff making my son feel special on his birthday. (Photos from 2 years ago)
Parking: Parking is unpaved, suited to it's rural setting
Kid-friendliness: Staff are welcoming to children, menu has an affordable kids section... if you're children are just barely old enough to read, some of the snarky signage on the walls can make for fun table conversation ;)
Recommended dishes: Cheeseburger and Fries, Waffles, Steak Fries, Biscuits and Gravy, Biscuit with Gravy
I had a pretty good pastrami sandwich. The server was amazing. Pulling up, the place looks like it hasn't changed since it opened. Then you walk inside and every square inch of the walls is covered in the corniest, tackiest "live laugh love" gift shop gobbledygook and they're playing obscure daytime television talkshows at max volume. The vibe is weird. But the food and the service is good enough that I'm for sure going back.

It's a unique little piece of history, a little out of the off the beaten path note worth the weight

Inattentive waitres, food is ok, nothing special. Big menu but the waitres was really bad. I asked for refill of coffee, never came, my friend asked for water refill, never came. Waitres was taking constantly with another table and rarely left them. I got biscuits and gravy as psrt of my. Breakfast and one of the biscuits was rock hard, inedible even soaking in gravy. I couldn't pierce it with my fork. I see no reason to ever go back there.

I like to ride my motorcycle here from my home in Lakeview Terrace. Up the Little Tujunga Canyon road, Sand Canyon to Sierra Highway. Food here is really good. I generally have breakfast because it's served all day. Chicken fried steak and eggs with cottage fries and biscuits and gravy will top you off till the next day. Friendly staff makes it even more enjoyable.
