Truckers Say This Dusty Roadside Diner Is California’s Best Restaurant - Eater LA

"Oak Hills restaurant Outpost Cafe, nearby Hesperia, serves down-home American classics to weary travelers. At the intersection of the 15 and 395 freeways, where the Cajon Pass stretches out of the San Bernardino Mountains, stands a 62-year-old A-frame building with tattered wooden shingles and vaguely country and western accents. This weathered roadside diner is the Outpost Cafe, and it’s one of a dying breed. The Outpost Cafe’s food is good old-fashioned American fare. Items like chicken-fried steak with eggs and bacon or a 12-ounce rib-eye with loaded baked potatoes are popular. For truckers used to the bland offerings of IHOP or Wendy’s, a juicy Cowboy Bacon Cheeseburger after a long drive is a reminder of home, of warmth and care." - Lynn Q. Yu
