We arrived in Barstow , California yesterday. Its about a 2 hour drive north from Glen Helen RV County Park. Afer setting up it was time for lunch so on the recommendation of the RV owner we decided on Peggy Sue's Diner. Its an original diner, built in 1945. It sits in the shadow of the Calico Mountains and it was built from railroad tiles and mortar from the nearby Union Pacific Rail yard. It was reopened in 1987 with as attempt to restore and preserve in its original state. The main Street is the orginal Route 66.
Peggy Sue's Diner is amazing.
Its where you really do eat to the beat.
It has a 8 seated soda and malt bar just like you see in the films made in the 50's.
It is a great place to display the heaps of TV and movie memobillia of the time.
As a fan of the original Mousketeers we had to take these photos.
John Wayne
There also have an adjoining gift shop which features the prices displayed in the 50's.
Also a much larger soda bar.
Our table was located next to Buddy Holly. This performance was just before the tragic air crash.
You can also enjoy a Buddy Holly burger.
We dined there twice. Liver and bacon with low calorie onion rings.
Steak and shrimp.
A cornbread muffin.
The food is delicious however, very large serves. This is their take on a roast beef sandwich.
Liver and onions
Low calorie desserts anyone. Shared of course.
There is also a dina - saur Park located behind the diner.
Its quite pretty out the back.
This guy even posed for photos.
Cheers,
Ross and Beverley
