Richies Real American Diner

The exemplary service could take off the meal, only barely. Rebecca was wonderful and she took my criticism well. I ordered the T-Knochen special at $23 and Mrs. ordered the half chicken dinner $15. My side was Clam Chowder and green beans, it is the mixed vegetables. My Chowder, the last bowl, came cool. The server (not Rebecca) should have noticed immediately. A **** and I sent her back when Rebecca checked us. I heard her comment on the server, the bowl wasn't even hot and she didn't take it out. It came back a few minutes later (I heard it was microwave) and proved to be tasty. A little thicker than I like (imagine thick white engraving), but delicious. Both sides of vegetables, great! Mushy green beans (yes, we like the can), mixed vegetables were three color paprika, delicious grilled, zucchini, onion and tomatoes. The biscuit is also grilled. Our duck, not so much. The chicken wasn't half a chicken, but cut up. I'm sure there's half a chicken, just not well presented. It was rubbery, a light gray, not desirable. My T-bone, the class wasn't what I expected. Maybe choose? Stringy, hard and worst, it had this Petrolgrill starter taste. I ate the fillet side, which should be much softer than the strip side, but unfortunately no. I finished 3/4 uneaten and said Rebecca she should not recommend it. We finished with the deep apple cake and chocolate cake, both well made and presented. Delicious! Decor, 50's taste and aging. Really, as it was done in the 50s! Some chipping on the stalls, stump dense in the pillow, some peeling color. Clean, present, weathered. Great complaint, no paper towels in the men's bathroom. Empty. Nada. I wonder how many times they check the bathrooms. Our bill was $65, left $15 tip. There are more well-known brands on the street outback, Texas Roadhouse that I know could offer a better value. I wanted to give the locals a way, but Richie's likes a chain. So my intentions were inferior. Go for the pages and dessert. Maybe stick to their burgers? It won't come back.

There Food was good. Only thing the first time i went ...the ribs were lil burnt but still good. The second time it was Delicious...i told the cashier about my first experience so she made sure it was better the 2nd go round. The huge baked potato with Real Bacon...OMGoodness! It was Everything the Carrot Cake. Mmmmmh! I made mistake and erased my pics of everything...trust me this pic may not look appetizing but please believe me it was great

This a good diner, that is located in High Desert region! I have been here only once, in July of 2021. The meal, that I have ordered, was quite delicious. At the same time, it was not on the expensive side. It was fairly priced, I might add. In addition, I would recommend to try their banana split, as a dessert. It was well made, and delicious. The place, during my visit, looked quite clean. There was ample of space, to sit down, and enjoy a meal. The waitress, which attended my table, was friendly, helpful, and polite. So, overall, I had a good experience, and I will definitely, come back again!

Great food, great atmosphere and amazing staff. Everyone was courteous and we were served the best steak we've ever had. Definitely worth the price.

Growing up in victorville I always wanted to visit this diner but never had an opportunity to. I?m delighted to say I finally ate here not once but twice in one week. The atmosphere- adorable. You feel like you?ve been transported back in time with the decor and music. Even the menu looks classic. This place is great for families, couples, friends, and solo travelers. The food was bad. My friend who is a regular here told me I had to order meat (even though I eat mainly plant based). So I broke my diet and ordered ?California chicken on a bun?. The chicken was rubbery and difficult to chew. I thought they forgot to put tomato in it so when I opened it to check I saw that the one they put in it was so thin that it was translucent. The French fries were delicious though. I was really disappointed with my food experience. My friend told me that I needed to go back and order dessert there. So I ordered a ?diner double dipper hot fudge sundae? this was good. My mother ordered the triple scoop banana split- she said that she had trouble finding the bananas in it and when she did that it tasted bad. Friendly service! The restaurant could do with some more thorough cleaning- a lot of fingerprints are all over the round windows above the tables.
