This place is historic and family owned. Best diner by far. Off Hwy 18 towards Air Expressway. This diner has been on the cooking channel with Bobby Flay and other opportunities have taken place there. There food is amazing and they serve from early in the morning to mid afternoon. I highly recommend stopping by.

We travelling New Zealanders stumbled upon this brilliant diner on our route 66 experience. What caught our attention was the sight of two lovely ladies selling handcrafts outside. Entering this family owned and run diner we were made to feel so welcome , sitting up at the diner amongst super friendly locals. Fantastic coffee, breakfast we ordered was delicious and fresh and the owners and team made this a memorable experience. Highly recommend .

For the movie people, this diner was featured in “Kill bill Vol.2”. For the food people, fantastic food and service!

A diner, one of the originals and I hope it remains forever. Good coffee, great food, and nice people. Open for breakfast and lunch.

A true diner. The food is simple and delicious. I had the mushroom bacon burger with onion rings and it was perfect. My daughter had the kids' chicken tenders meal and she was very happy. My son had the trucker's special with French toast. My husband had an omelet with fried potatoes and a pancake. Everything was delicious! It seems to be busy and has limited seating, so be prepared to wait. And their restrooms are very clean (my daughter was very impressed).

Amazing old time Diner experience. Awesome breakfast and lunch options, excellent service. Brian Burger and onion rings are outstanding -- but so is everything else on the menu. Oh! And don't miss out on their homemade cobbler!

This was a quintessential Route 66 Roadside Diner! Super cozy, tucked away between hillsides the food was really good and the exterior of the building had an amazing assortment of flowers! The Burger was Fantastic and the Patty Melt was also really good!

Denise Mitchell

Such a great "hole-in-wall" breakfast/lunch restaurant! Tiny size but food has big flavor! Great customer service.

BEST DINER IN THE US! Their tri-trip is perfectly cooked, the soups and gravy are made from scratch, and their burgers are delicious🤤 And it’s all for a great price! This cafe is a must-stop-at if you’re in Victorville.

This place is amazing!! Wanted to come here for years and finally made it. Food is unique and delicious. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Had the Brian Burger and apple cobbler. Portions are large and prices are reasonable.

First time visiting Emma Jean’s Holland Burger Cafe. A very enjoyable breakfast and experience overall. The cafe’s good food and storied history lives up to its reputation. The reason I look forward to returning belongs to the staff who deserve praise. Friendly and attentive, it was a pleasure to speak with our Waitresses and especially the Cook. It is always a treat when a cafe is set up to allow the Cook to work front-and-center amongst its patrons. To the staff at Emma Jean’s Holland Burger Cafe: Many thanks and see you soon. Ian & Jess 💛💜

Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe Route 66 Victorville, California Before leaving Victorville, California, yesterday, we decided to have breakfast at Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe. This historic and iconic Diner has been serving hungry travelers on Route 66 since 1947. This diner has appeared in a kill Bill Movie and music videos. So what better way to end our Route 66 Road trip than to dine at this historic Diner on Route 66. The Diner is open till 2:45 PM except on Saturday (Closes at 12:45 PM) and closed on Sunday. We will just say that the food was delicious and the service was great. The plates were rather large. I had the Chicken Fried Steak with two eggs and potatoes and your choice of sides. The Chicken Fried Steak was so big that it came on a separate dish from the potatoes and eggs. You also get your choice of sides, which are toast, biscuits and gravy, or a pancake. I opted for biscuits and gravy. The chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly, and everything was delicious. I tried my vest to finish it but it was a large amount of food. I also knew that we would have a desert. Chuck had the Ortega Three egg omelet, and that was pretty big itself, and he also picked biscuits and gravy as his side. He told me it was delicious and was not greasy at all. After our breakfast, we wanted to try the Blueberry cobbler. The cobbler was delicious, especially with the ice cream. The portion was also large, so we only ordered one to share. The staff members were great. They were friendly and attentive. They checked on us as well as the other patrons frequently. We also noticed the shirts they were wearing and asked if we could purchase those shirts. The design on the back really caught my eye, so we purchased two. Overall, our experience was great. The ambiance and atmosphere of a true diner, the delicious food, and excellent service made it a memorable and great experience.

Food was great! Cute and cozy. Very busy spot people constantly coming in, which is a good sign. Would love to stop here again when I'm in the area. Or make my way out on a bike ride.

Such a great diner on old Route 66! Quirky, historic, busy - the food and service were excellent! I was transported to the 1950s - if you're into Route 66, like we are, make this a stop!

This place has a lot of charm and character. The waitress/owner Shawna, who is daughter-in-law of the founder Emma Jean, told me about Guy Fieri's visits here which tells you a lot about the food and popularity. Just driving by, you wouldn't even think about stopping. However, the many great reviews and the fact that Fieri is a fan of this place are enough to convince people to give it a try. My wife tried the French Dip -- taste was good; but the meat could have been more tender. I had the Brian Burger (which was named after Shawna's late husband) -- it was quite good. It is a smashed burger on Texas toast with cheese and mild Ortega pepper. My daughter ordered the Slap "yo" Mama -- check the attached menu photo for a description. She pronounced it to be excellent and worthy of 5 stars. Service was great and the ambiance is certainly fun. I would have liked to give an overall 5 star rating; but the first two meals mentioned only merited 4 stars.

This tiny diamond in the ruff is a great spot in Victorville. Small but great, food was good seating if your able to get a table your in luck. Best get there early. Definitely recommend a stop if your heading to or from Vegas off the 15fwy just off the road bout quarter mile if that. Gots some history value to it, if you love small family businesses and old school diners this one's the one you want to see. It's featured on guys diners, drive-in and dives.

A no frills diner! Easy parking, attentive staff, and food was finger licking good. \n\nI got the Brian burger and it was amazing. Go ahead and do yourself a favor and order the full size Brian bu…

They say you only have one opportunity to make a good impression and today your establishment blew that opportunity. We drove up from San Diego to explore Route 66 in the high desert. We've heard wonderful things about this place so we planned our day's main meal to eat here. We pulled up and lot was full about 3 parties ahead of us. We asked them if they were waiting and they said yes. We walked in an were excited to eat as the food looked and smelled delicious. We gave the server our name and she did not even write it down. She seemed overwhelmed as she was taking orders, cleaning tables, answering the phone and acting as the hostess. We noticed a family at the counter wrapping up and assumed they would call the folks waiting before us, so we decided to wait outside. We were taking pictures and saw this family pull up, park and walk in. They walked in the side door and just sat at the counter. The other people started asking if they were there already and I mentioned i saw them pull after we checked in. We went inside to ask how long the wait was and told the server that family was seated before everyone else. She seemed super irritated and answered back in a short tone. I know mistakes are made and people are not perfect. Sadly, we left after waiting for about 30 minutes. The 3 parties ahead of us were still waiting after we left. Most likely won't be back after this experience.
