Bagdad Cafe — Restaurant in Yermo

It's been MANY YEARS since I have stopped at the BAGDAD Cafe... But the time when we did stop, we got greeted with friendly folks and got drinks but no food... The reason we didn't get food, was we had just eat before we arrived at the cafe... If I had not just eaten, I would have ordered... As we were there, we talked with the owner and other folks and one that always comes to mind is the guy they called GENERAL BOB... General Bob was quite the character... He had lived in the desert his whole life and he and his wife he said worked for the CIA, underworld protection agency, and a few other places... Though he was entertaining and interesting to talk with I thought maybe General Bob had been left out in the desert soaking up way too much sun... Though, his stories seem to be far-fetched, he was still a pleasure to talk with... At the time when we visited there was a run-down Motel to the left of the cafe if you were standing in front of the cafe on Route 66... I see now, from pictures others have taken since I've been there that Motel is completely gone, and the huge water tank is gone as well from outback... I would imagine the cafe is in need of repair as I'm sure people don't spend a ton of money there and as you know a lot to be desired for the area... Buddy and I are planning on a motorcycle trip to California this June, and I plan on taking him by there to just stop in and experience THE BAGDAD...

We read some posts on the Baghdad Café and also watched a video of your house nurse California gold and decided to visit the Baghdad Café we decided to drive the 66 out to Lavic California and then on our way back we decided to drop in to the Baghdad café we weren’t sure if it was open because there was only one car in the parking lot and there was a couple of people inside of it and the building just didn’t look occupied we went in and there was several people inside one of him sitting up on the counter calling for his friend to let him know that they had customers Several minutes later a worker came out and took our drink orders and returned several minutes later with menus and red solo cups of our drinks we ordered one by one he remove them off the tray with both hands gently setting that our drinks in front of us then nervously saying that he will be back to take our orders which was not true about the time the people that were parked in the front of the building when we got there decided to come in and went in the back with his friend the worker and a couple which we never saw again we Souther at the table waiting for a sign of anyone which never came about 20 minutes later we all were in agreement to just leave money for the drinks on the table and leave which we did so and still no signs of anyone if anyone ever finds out what happened to them we would be...

If you enjoy eclectic restaurants then this is the place for you Signs, notes, picture, flags, and even music devices are hung on the wall from all the individuals who have visited this cafe

Only 2 maybe 3 people work there, so please be mind and patient; whereas their job is the: Cook Waitress Cashier Electrician Plummer Hostess Roofer

You name it and they run the entire restaurant all by themselves

They also live on, or about 1/4 down the road from the property (very common for the caretakers of route 66 stops to live on or near the stops)

Great charming people, but they are desert people, so city people be warned you are in for an interesting character

Because the place is out in the middle of no where sometimes their credit machine does not work or works slow.

BRING CASH TO HELP OUT THE BUISNESS.

It is originally used as just a pit stop on Route 66, but now it became a more modern tourist attraction.

I officially have 2 notes posted on the wall from my visit

My brother adopted his dog from an individual who lived about 1/2 down the road because the dog needed a better hone because the old owners could not make ends meet and feed the dog

He adopted that dog because we decides to visit Bagdad Cafe and check out the surrounding area.

Now him I visit the location every New Years Day to celebrate a tradition of...
