The atmosphere was great! Came here during the holidays, which is a very popular spot for the OHV community. The burgers smelled fantastic, so of course I had to try one of them! I had the Ortega burger and with a side of nachos. It was a delicious meal to complement the perfect outdoor weather. Service is very friendly and inviting, especially Lety, the owner of the restaurant. She is such a sweetheart who made us feel very welcomed!If you're ever in the area, either passing through or riding some quads, give this place a try. They have live music as well!

Good place for any Off Roading desert rider to stop for Food/Fuel/Water/Shade.They do offer rentals for small OH vehicles and I believe side-by-side's but I'm sure they charge an arm and a leg but hey. You're on vacation

So we happened upon this spot because we were driving back from Mammoth and had to use a restroom. Little did we know that this was not some run of the mill convenience store but a super cool spot. It's one of those off the beaten path experiences that you can only find on road trips in the middle of nowhere. In the courtyard you feel like you're stepping back in time, and in the back there's a large outdoor music venue. Unfortunately there were no shows at the time we were there, but I definitely want to come back and some point to check out a show there. Everything has this high desert retro vibe. Definitely recommended as a spot to drop by if you happen to be in the area.

We were on a stretch of hwy that didn't have a gas station within a one-fourth tank of gas worth of distance so were thankful to see this place. Staff was very friendly. Apparently there's a lot of cool stuff to see/buy here. Will try to stop by next time if we're not pressed for time.

While I was never much into the off road scene, I used to come along for the ride to Jawbone as a younger man with some buddies. While they were whooping it up kicking a ton of dust in the air on BLM ground, I was usually off looking for snakes and minerals and scorpions and geckos and other desert critters.Years later, I brought my own kids out to Jawbone Canyon in my 4WD and we took the backroads up into Red Rock... they enjoyed the critters as much as they enjoyed watching some dudes shooting rifles and handguns out in the middle of nowhere. As the sun went down, the jackrabbits, geckos, and snakes put on quite a show for us crossing the road, and I fell just a little more in love with the area.For the most part, we blow through here on our way to the trout waters of the Eastern Sierra nowadays, but when we have time to kill, I like stopping in to the Jawbone Store. There always seem to be travelers here with stories to tell, and the vibe is always family-positive, even if it's a little rough around the edges.Once met a man old man here who was riding his bicycle from Argentina to Alaska... and man, he had some stories. An older biker dude came up and put his arm around the cyclist's shoulder, handed him a beer, and said, you're almost there buddy. Laughed all the way to Bishop about that one.Gasoline is expensive here, drinks, food, and snacks are a couple bucks more than your local Ralph's... and totally worth it to stop in here and dig the patio, the property, the laid back high desert vibe that is defined by resilience, resolve, and relaxed.Stop in and get a cold drink. It's still a ways to Mojave from here.

Store has basic essentials. Gas price was a little over $6 a gallon, only a buck more than normal gas prices. It is a roll up pay then pump system. Restrooms are only open during business hours and I was under the assumption they would have some available around the clock. I asked where they would have some and I was told there are portapotties through out the grounds however didn't find any. We even rented a couple quads. One regular size and one kids size 50. So much fun!!! Prices were to be expected, very high. And for those trying to find any info about the canyon it's self like I tried, I reccomend coming fully prepared. It was absolutely freezing and the wind was the icing on the cake. No running water or restrooms anywhere. But if you are prepared you will have quite the adventure. Lots of sand trails hard and easy. I would be back but perhaps during spring

We came for the rental off road vehicles. It was freakin awesome! Matt & Jose have the knowledge and personality to run a place like this. Both guys were cool as hell. My brother and I took our 12 year old sons Matt and Jose gave them a great tutorial. As a matter of fact my son was doing donuts within 10 minutes. If you want a great adventure this is the place to go.

Great people running this establishment.Great service always a good time. Good time, if you're four wheeling there or riding your motorcycle there. Gas is kinda expensive but it's got some if you really need it. Lol
