Best Restaurants to Try on the Drive Between Los Angeles and Las Vegas | Eater LA

"There’s nothing like the nostalgia that comes with a meal at Peggy Sue’s Diner in Yermo, the ultimate jukebox-shaped ’50s-era throwback with television memorabilia and diner classics that haven’t changed much over the decades. The diner is probably the most complete and compelling place to stop for a meal between Los Angeles and Las Vegas; the maximalist retro design alone is worth a stop for mid-century pop culture enthusiasts. The menu is fairly sizeable considering its location in the middle of the desert, featuring classic greasy-spoon breakfasts, tuna and patty melts, a half-pound “King Kong” cheeseburger, and Southern fried chicken for dinner. After the meal, don’t hesitate to roam the grounds beside, where massive metal dinosaur structures and a lake landscape offer post-prandial amusement." - Matthew Kang
