Roy's Cafe

Upfront some bias. The service is always pleasant and Barstow has this weird service culture where everyone is nicer than you’d expect. So service is an easy win.

Atmosphere: very road time cafe. It’s what Sonic wishes it could have. And when you think that Roy’s burgers costs around a Burger King meal, you’d be thinking they’re actively losing money.

Now to the part people actually read. My bad for playing the reverse Uno card. This is the second time I’ve been here. And it’s equally as delicious. Here for dinner on either a weekend or weeknight, it hits the spot. The burgers are delicious. Very much a smash burger but actually had the home-style taste that you can’t make at home. Most impressively were the onions. Odd thing to pick, but they were surprisingly fresh. Like cry as I bite into them fresh, which tells me they know how to manage their produce. The butter bread was super satisfying and I felt almost too full to finish my hash browns.

But I’d come here, and brought people here, for the shakes. The pictures on the dessert menu look like the actual food. Almost doesn’t do it justice, which is fine since they’re below. Very very rich and heavy. Just coming for the dessert is all you need.

Had the 1/3 lb cheeseburger and it was great. Fresh fries and great service. The owner happen to be there and came out greet the guests, which I really liked. He was asking if everything was good, food, service, and talking about the other many items on his menu. I've had the burger twice and it never disappoints.

Good little diner with great country food. Less than 5 minutes off the I-15. Defiantly worth stopping in.

I'm glad I Stopped here for lunch. All the staff was very friendly and attentive. Prices are great for big portions. I'll definitely be back whenever I come through Barstow. He mentioned their hamburgers were great! Next time I will try them. Wide variety of food options.

Found this on Google, checked out the reviews and tried it out. Wow, was blown away. Breakfast was delicious. Ordered the pastrami & cheese omelette and it was so good. Pancakes was great as well. New spot to stop at on my way home. And the staff was nice and friendly. Very personable with the guests.

Great little restaurant! The staff were all friendly, the atmosphere was nice and quiet, the food was delicious and the place was really clean. Ill definitely be coming back again. Keep up the great work!

The food was amazing. The service was 100/10. I very recommend to come this place for breakfast either if you're traveling or visit. The view from the window is fantastic. You can see all the cars.

This place was REALLY good! Do not let the exterior scare you off, it looks a little small & shabby, but the food is EXCELLENT and the servings were huge. Pictured is the BLT with side salad and the chicken fajita quesadilla. The staff was also very friendly and helpful! Two handicap accessible bathrooms. All booths, but there was enough space in the aisle for my mom to sit at the end of the table in a wheelchair. Definitely a good food stop on the way to or from Vegas — support a small business instead of another fast food corporation!

I had a spinach omelette, mushrooms, onion & w/ no cheese. It came with biscuits and gravy AND hash browns 😋I was really good and I the service was great. I had coffee w/ French vanilla. Good coffee. It was hot 🥵 they had a swap cooler so sit near it if you go in summer. Lol

The food was amazingly delicious, the onion rings were well made. I have no complaints, I will definitely be going back and bringing my family.

We absolutely LOVED this place. Service was superb and our food was the best we have had in this area! Definitely will be back before we head back to Texas. Fresco burger was a must try if you enjoy a good old fashioned burger. Dont let the hole in the wall mislead you.

Just moved here and someone recommended this place , and it has treated me good since. Employees are very respectful made sure you’re well taken care of . This place is for families , and when you want to chill to get something off your mind. The food from the pastrami sandwiches to the burgers and the breakfast is always good. Salads I’ve never been disappointed . It’s all great and my dressing comes on the side. But I have no complaints what so ever when coming to this place. And Even know just moving here since my first experience was excellent I go about every other day or even twice in one lol. I’m in Barstow ain’t nothing else out there

I literally couldn’t post a photo of most of the food because it was so good we couldn’t stop eating! The atmosphere is very relaxing and mom and pop type vibe. I love it! We had a party of 4 and every single one of us were more than overjoyed by the plates we got. I love that they had a Diet Coke in a mason jar, my favorite touch. Don’t overlook this little place as it blew my expectations out of the water!

Smaller sit down restaurant with a mom and pop feel. Wide selection, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and both American and Mexican cuisines. Large portions at very reasonable prices makes this a yummy place to eat. It's off the beaten path as far as the I-15 freeway goes, but it is located right on historic Route 66, so a must stop for all travelers. Locals are never wrong, stop in and check it out.

We have ordered French toast with eggs and sausage and a double bacon cheeseburger. Both lunch and breakfast was delicious! I was happy they had vanilla creamer because sometimes the smaller restaurants don’t carry it. Also the salsas taste good but are not spicy. We will definitely return if in the area. The service was great and the restaurant was clean.

Great little place. We love the little ma and pop type of restaurants. Good prices, really big portions, and atentative service with a smile (which is hard to find these days.) We will definitely go back.

We stopped at Roy's Cafe on our way home from the California coast. Unassuming little cafe right off highway, which we found via Google. The man working there took our order & made our food. Service was quick, food was delicious and it did feel like a small town, mom & pop diner. The menu had lots of choices and you could tell the food was made of high quality ingredients. The best part, besides the French toast, was when the man offered us his honey and almond milk creamer to use in our coffee. Talk about personalized service! We will definitely make this restaurant a regular stop on return trips to the coast.

We travel between Vegas & San Diego often & I wanted a good breakfast. This place didn't disappoint! I had one of the best omelets of my life & I love them! I asked for rice & beans instead of the regular potatoes and was given the best house made salsa! So good we purchased some Togo. Definitely stop in if you want the best food at the halfway point

This place is a real treasure! There's nothing else anywhere even close to nearby so driving through the middle of the desert with a dry mouth and seeing Roy's is comparable to spotting a real oasis when you're about ready to thirst to death! The kindest lady in the world named Ms. Nicole was working the last time I had the pleasure of stopping by and I really hope to meet her again. The nich items that they have and the decor makes you feel like you have been transported somewhere else to a time when life was much more easy and simple. Ms. Nicole informed me that they will be revamping the motel and reopening in the near future so I am very excited to see everything they do to the place and I look forward to my next visit!

Roy's is the perfect "greasy spoon!" Turkey burger was great - a well-seasoned patty and liberal lettuce and tomato. Fries were tasty. The service was quick and friendly. I will make Roy's my "goto" whenever I'm in Barstow!
