Slash X Ranch Cafe

Cool Little bar/hangout/kitchen etc. It's way out there on highway #2 between Barstow and Lucerne Valley. If you are traveling through the area, I highly recommend you stop here and get a burger and fries. Being my first time here, that's what I decided to go with, and I don't regret it at all. Nevertheless, they have other menu options which I'll be checking out next time I come through here. The place gets jam packed with weekend warriors, and it's kinda cool. The interior as you will see in my pics, is super cool. But they also have a huge outdoor eating area where most visitors prefer to go. Needless to say, I really like this place and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through, or Even those who want to venture out and go visit a cool place in the middle of nowhere. Lol

I recently visited a restaurant/bar in Barstow, CA and I must say, it was one of the coolest places I've been to. The atmosphere was fantastic, the employees were friendly and the food was amazing. It's definitely worth a stop, especially if you're out on the trails. What's even better is that you can trail to and from the place, so no need to deal with streets and pesky concrete roads. Overall, a wonderful spot for lunch or a casual hangout. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

What a great find for our road trip from northern California to southern California. They have a lovely big shaded patio where our dogs could hang with us and made the 93F day feel pretty comfy. Kids enjoyed running around the yard since no one else was around. The staff was friendly and helpful. Food was overall pretty good quality with the fried zucchini having a perfect ratio of flavorful batter to zucchini pieces. Burgers were good and kids gobbled up the corn dog. Definitely recommend stopping here.

I strongly urge you all to go eat and hang out here if you are traveling nearby.
Great burgers.
Great fries and the fried zucchini sticks are even better.
A great selection of beers,
A great owner, friendly and efficient staff and they are part of harvest host, so you can overnight in the 40 acres behind the cafe.
What a cool building.
It’s a former bunkhouse for the ranch-hands that is from the early 50s
Lots off cool antiques and collectibles, so there’s tons to look at including a bunch of vintage dirt bikes

Love this place! I stop every time in through this area.

It's Slash X, it's a staple of the off-road community in Johnson Valley. I've ridden my bike here with my pops and his friends since I was little and now I've taken my son's there in my SxS. The staff is always awesome even if they are slammed on some weekends, they still pump the food and beer out as fast as they can. The atmosphere is great, total desert bar that is exactly what you expect and need after a long day of blasting through the desert. I hope my sons bring their kids here one day. Make sure you pay attention pulling out and crossing the highway, cars and rigs come flying through there without slowing down.

This is a five star place cause ain't nothing else around 🤣... All jokes aside, they do have some good burgers, fries, and of course full bar! They have live music sometimes, so the atmosphere can be pretty lively!

Visited this Cafe back in early 2000's, back when Dave still owned it. Such a cool place. So neat that 'Erin Brockovich' bar scenes, were filmed there.

SCARY!
Is what my first thought was.
How GOOD can this place actually be!
BUT WOW!
We were all impressed with the FOOD AND the SERVICE!

The owner and staff are so awesome. The food is extremely good an affordable. You won't be disappointed with the place.

Restaurant and Bar out in the middle of nowhere!

Slash X was on the Google Maps and we were curious about the high reviews. Imagine our surprise to find a really good hamburger (and other great food choices) in the middle of the high desert. This is evidently a place that off road racers frequent and the owner told us that midweek is very slow so no fresh lemonade is made on those days. Only canned sodas and water were offered for the non alcoholic drinks. The beer choices looked great, but alas, we were going to drive off and didn't have time for a beer. Other than that, everything was freshly made. The burgers were done exactly as we wished, the chicken sandwich was juicy and not dried out. The onion rings were Awesome! One of our party loved the fries but the other one thought they were too soft. The building has tons of character and loads of off road racing gear along side the cowboy working theme. Very much recommend this place!

This is an off roader's restaurant/bar. This is a well known destination for anyone off roading in this area. Don't miss it. They also host a lot of organized off road events each year with the various off road associations.

What a fun, quirky place to visit. Staff is nice and the grounds are clean. We will be back!

After leaving king of the hammers we decided to stop at slash X and the food and service was very good I definitely recommend stopping by if you're headed to Big Bear or Johnson valley.

Prices were super high but cool spot. Lots to look at. Good vibes

This place is great . In the middle of nowhere , you can drive your car and ride your dirt bike or Razor to the front door . Good food too

Great place to relax after a ride. I had a burger, fries, and a beer with no complaints. Awesome place with plenty to see 👀

One of the coolest restraunt/bars around. Great atmosphere great employees amazing food. Definitely worth a stop. Great place for lunch while you are out on the trails. You can trail to and from no need for streets and pesky concrete roads.

You have to stop here if your out there. I been coming here for 25 years never gets old good food lots of dirt racing stuff to look at. They have added an outdoor beer garden very large. Some live music . The service here is very good. The food here is very good. The staff here is always friendly. Never a bad meal or experience. Plenty of trails to ride right out of the parking lot.
