One of our favorite place to stop is located 10 miles north of Barstow on the I-15 Interstate. It is at the Ghost Town Road exit, Peggy Sue's original roadside diner.
The diner was built in 1954 with 9 counter stools and 3 booths. The owners moved to Southern California in 1981 working for Knott's Berry farm and the movies. In 1987 they reopened the diner to restore and preserve it in its original state. With their background working in the movies, it's the place to display their extensive collection of movie and TV memorabilia.
Inside is cozy atmosphere with great 50's music playing, servers in 50's attire and good homemade food. We only stopped for breakfast due to timing of our travel.
The support from locals, truck drivers, military, and tourists (like us), the diner prospered and became popular so they expanded the diner into a real Old-Fashioned Tourist stop. The diner has 50's style restaurant, store with curious and memorabilia, Soda Fountain, Ice Cream Parlor, and Pizza Parlor.
In the back, we took a stroll in their own Dinosaur Park with larger-than-life Dinosaur Sculptures, Waterfalls, Fountains, Ponds, Grass and Trees. It brought some old memories and we made some new ones. Good food and nice place to stop.
Thanks for traveling with us.
Blessings!
