11 Best American Restaurants in Yucca Valley

“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.“

“Comfort Food at Its Best!

From the moment I walked into Steak ’n Shake, I knew I was in for something good. The service was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly — the kind where your server makes sure your drink is never empty and checks in just enough without hovering.

And the food… oh, the food! My burger was a masterpiece — a perfectly seared steakburger patty with that crave-worthy caramelized crust, layered with fresh, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and melty cheese that wrapped around each bite like a warm hug. The toasted bun had just the right amount of buttery softness, holding everything together without stealing the spotlight.

The fries? Golden, crispy perfection — thin, light, and dangerously easy to keep eating long after you’re full. And the milkshake… rich, creamy, and indulgent, like dessert in its most decadent form. Every sip was a reminder why they put “shake” right in the name.

Steak ’n Shake delivers exactly what you want when you’re craving comfort food that’s both satisfying and flavorful. Between the excellent service and the unforgettable food, this is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit.“

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

“This place is not only super cute with the whole black bear theme!! We loved it! We just moved into town and are exploring local places to eat. This is a blessing of a place for us. We will definitely be returning. We had the chicken n waffles and the Southern scramble. Both absolutely delicious. Jessica was running the entire show and was graceful, calm and super friendly. Super great vibes from her!“
