Excellent food served in an eclectic seating environment. Large portions of freshly cooked meals with a large variety of beverages - both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Entertainment often on-site to provide more ambiance. Staff is very courteous and welcoming!

We were on our way to Joshua Tree NP. Came to an intersection they were located at and the aroma was soooo nice. We were hungry so we turned around and parked in lot . People started a line so we thought why not. Outside dining , banana bread man was selling breadthey had a live band outside, and of course the smoker! People are so friendly there. They have a large menu. We got the sampler platter. So much food and a great deal. Don't be worried it looks like a biker bar. Lots of families with kids, loud music , great food and fun . Best BBQ we had in a long time.

Always great service and great food , we are out by them weekly for work. Try the rib platter it is amazing

Cafe 247 is a much needed space in the Lucerne Valley area. I passed by a number of times when I lived in Big Bear, as it's close to one of the three routes you can take to get down the hill. I only stopped in to grab a cup of coffee on my visit, so I can't really review the food or much of the service....other than saying the coffee was good, and the woman who rang me up was friendly. The space is very "road". Lots of bikers. Decor is super eclectic and looks similar to a lot of the roadside diners I've visited over the years. I was surprised by the large outdoor space that apparently hosts live music often. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd absolutely stop back in for an actual meal and to get a more in-depth experience of this spot.

After having driven past this place several times on my way to/from Las Vegas, I stopped in this past Sunday when the crowd didn't seem too bad. Later in the day on Sundays, the place gets filled up with folks on motorcycles and ATVs. Upon walking into their outdoor space, I was pleasantly surprised to see a live band on stage. I went inside (after I figured out which door to use) to order a beer -- Stone IPA, for $7, which isn't too terrible, and took it back outside to enjoy the band. They played a nice mix of mostly classic rock. The staff was not super-friendly, but maybe this is one of those places where they warm up to you after they start recognizing you. I didn't have any of the tasty-looking BBQ, but I might have to rectify that situation upon my next visit. I was a little bummed to have to continue my journey down into the low desert, because I could have sat there drinking beer and listening to the band for hours. I'll be back -- and maybe they'll recognize me?

This is a local's biker hang out, but cooler. We popped in after an extremely disappointing lunch at China House, came in for a look-around , but more importantly, a beer. I would love to be here on a weekend evening to see some bands play on these awesome outdoor stages. The menu was basic, bugers, fries, bbq and the like. We had heinekens and a healthy dose of people watching. There's groovy eclectic rubbish turned into art all over the yard. It was a pretty fun atmosphere. They've got smokers and stuff, so weekends are probably the bomb. We will check it out another time. Gotta try the BBQ!

Finally stopped at this cute little cafe on the way back home to Vegas. They just opened when I arrived on 9th. The lady who greeted me as I walked in was very nice. She recommended the breakfast burrito, which is popular there. I got the sausage breakfast burrito. While waiting, I decided to take pictures inside. Love the atmosphere with all the random stickers. The bathroom was also pretty cool. The burrito was absolutely delicious, especially with the hot sauce. I will definitely come back ;)

Stopped by here on a Sunday after visiting Wolf Mountain Sanctuary, which I also recommend you check out when in the area.Definitely a great decision after standing in the sun and dirt for a couple of hours. There was live music and a ton of bikers. Very festive ambience! Service was good and friendly, they were dealing with lots of people and many drunky folks. Be prepared to wait if you go at peak party hours, we didn't mind the wait it was obvious they were busy. They were out of most bbq so we got a kielbasa and pulled pork sandwich. Kielbasa 5/10- I'd say skip this it's sausage with bbq sauce, corn is over done but the baked beans were great and I rarely liked other folks baked beans and we finished the side. Pulled pork sandwich- 9/10 this was great, the first juicy and flavorful bite hit me and I was so pleasantly surprised!! The home made bbq potato chips just blew me away!! The coleslaw- skip it, truly blah. Bacon Cheeseburger- 8.5/10 overall a monster of a burger that was flavorful and put together well. I feel like the beef could have been more seasoned, but there was salt n pepper on the table. I'd definitely try another burger next time I'm in the area. Jalapeño poppers- 7/10 these are probably premade from frozen from Sysco but they were perfectly crispy.

Great Food Happy People Really Good LIVE music I stop there coming and going into Joshua Tree I got there an hour too early for Tri Tip so I had the best Ortega Burger of my life YUM I love the Goats and Rat Fink on the roof Nice to be someplace where every one is in a good mood
