The food is delicious and service is great even tho is an old rusty establishment in the middle of nowhere on the famous Historic Route 66 on Main Street. Would NOT recommend to dine in. Is too hot with no AC and a few flies.

Small family owned and operated cafe. Mother cooking while three daughters are working as waitresses. All overlapped to insure all customers were attended to completely. Evelyn was our main waitress and she was terrific. All had incredible smiles and service first attitudes. I have never been here before and was just driving through when we found Roy's on yelp and decided to try it due to the positive reviews. No waiting but most booths were occupied with diners. Will stop again next time we are back and forth to Las Vegas.

Roy's looks like a fast food joint but inside it's full service Yhey have a very big menu with Mexican food and American They also have done crazy desserts The waitresses are on top of it and the cooks take pride in their art Yhe drive through sucks

Food was tasty and properly portioned. (Not too much) the service was quick and friendly. Restaurant was clean and bathrooms worked! I came for breakfast but I will return for a lunch/dinner/dessert.

4 of us for lunch and we all thought the food was very good. Hubby had chili and grilled cheese sandwich and said they were great. I had the Frisco Burger and it was excellent. Service was ok, the only thing bad is this place needs new ceiling tiles and a paint job.

Quite pleased with this place. I ordered one of the specials. The scrambled eggs came with fresh purple onion, jalapenos and tomotoes. The beans that came on the side reminded me of my Aunt Adeles. They had an excellent flavor. I didnt ask, but that anything like the canned refried beans so many places serve. Infact maybe the best thing was that the food was NOT salted to death!! My husband had the Pancho Villa plate and it was equally as delicious. Coifee was strong, thankfully!! If you can not handle coffee that flavorful, by all means water it down. Place was busy, but service was excellent.

"Best breakfast burrito I've ever had"- James 9yo Great stop when driving to or from Vegas!

On our way to Vegas, we were craving breakfast food and I started checking Yelp for the nearest place and luckily found this. The best chicken fried steak ever! Crispy on the outside and tender inside. The gravy was amazing and the hash browns were perfectly made. We found our stop when going to Vegas. FYI, it is about 1.3 miles off the fwy so it's a bit off the path.

I had two carne asada tacos ....sooo good! Hubby had the big burrito. It did not disappoint. Our server was super nice too! We stopped at Denny's first and something said leave, so we did and tripped over this gem. We will be back!

Ah... the history and romance associated Route 66, which was routed through Barstow, CA on Main Street until the Interstate made the old road obsolete. No worries, as all you have to do to enjoy great diner cuisine, and Route 66 ambiance is to exit the interstate, and drive on Main Street to Roy's Cafe, located in Barstow, CA. The dining room is cheerfully decorated in a mixture of 1963 and 2023, and features lots of booths, each with a checkered tablecloth. There is lots of cheerful, natural lighting thanks to the many windows. The dining room is clean, quite spacious and very comfortable. As you enter the restaurant, you're greeted by a friendly staff member who will invite you to sit at any open table of your choice. Roy's offers printed menus, but a few selections are posted above the window to the kitchen, including "Desayunos Mexicanos" - Mexican breakfasts - and the burger menu, including "The Heart Attack," which includes four meat patties, with the burger reposing on a mountain of fries. Oh my! Yes, I was thinking about giving it the "ol' college try" but I went for breakfast instead. Roy's is serious about breakfast, as the breakfast menu is three pages of all your classic diner favorites, plus the Mexican selections listed above the window to the kitchen, and breakfast is served unitl 11 in the morning on weekdays. It's a breakfast lover's paradise! From the "Pancakes" section of the menu, Tom went with "Three Pancakes, Two Eggs and Two Sausages." The "Pancake" section of the menu doesn't offer the options the "Breakfast" menu does, but you can order add-on's to your pancake, such as berries or chocolate chips - at a nominal extra cost - and you can order your eggs "your way." Tom went with scrambled eggs, and he had nothing but good things to say about his fine breakfast. From the first page of the "Breakfast" menu, I went with "Ham Steak and Eggs," and "Mexican style rice and beans" along with a biscuit and gravy. This is true "comfort food" and the best breakfast EVER! The menu offers countless choices of sides to go with your main entree, including Mexican rice and beans, hash browns, fruit, tomatoes, cottage cheese, and every type of toast you can think of OR biscuit and gravy. Truly Roy's Cafe offers the best of everything! My entree of "Ham Steak" was a thick cut of ham, and the portion was HUGE, as it was most likely 6 ounces or so. It was grilled perfectly on the griddle, complete with grill marks and was juicy, tender and simply delicious. The chef at Roy's Cafe has talent! I ordered my eggs fried sunnyside up, and they arrived as ordered, fried perfectly with just a little brown around the edge, the way eggs should be. Once again, the talented chef nailed this one... The Mexican rice wasn't your "red" variety, as it was golden, with a perfect texture mix of slightly crunchy/soft, with lots of flavor, as I assume it must have cooked in chicken broth. It reminded me of rice that I've enjoyed during my countless trips to Mexico. The refried beans were simply amazing, as they were topped with Mexican shredded cheese and a few corn tortilla chips, and like the rice, they tasted like something you'd enjoy in Mexico. The rice and beans made for an amazing side dish. The biscuit was fresh, in-house baked, cut in half and covered with rich, flavorful country gravy, direct from Roy's kitchen. It was simply delicious! Who could ever order toast when you can enjoy Roy's biscuit and gravy? Words or photos can't describe the goodness of the breakfast I enjoyed at Roy's Cafe on this mid Friday morning. Talk about fine diner "comfort food!" Let me put it this way: You can't find a better breakfast anywhere or at any price than the breakfast you'll enjoy at Roy's Cafe! It's no wonder that "foodies" exit the Interstate and flock to Roy's Cafe, as they've taken a hint from Barstow locals that Roy's Cafe serves great Route 66-style diner cuisine, and the staff is as friendly as it gets. It's not simply nostalgia, it's great food! For all Yelpers... Roy's Cafe is 5 star dining, as the food is amazing and the service is friendly. Maybe the best breakfast in the Mojave Desert? Maybe... just maybe...?
