We were on our way up to Seattle and really wanted to take a break and grab a quick bite... The Last Stand popped up on YELP with some good reviews, so we thought what the hey, lets give it a try... It was a little bit off the main highway, but my goodness me SO WORTH IT!
This place is one of the all-time great road house diners! We loved the atmosphere, and our waitress CHARLEY was simply the best! She was super friendly and just excellent at recommending with whatever we asked about on the menu. We ended up splitting a Club Sandwich after asking about whether it would be too much or not enough (as we were not famished!) and it turned out to be just perfect for the two of us.
A truly unique place and a bit like taking a trip to place not of these times, and we simply loved it and would stop there in a heartbeat on our next trip.
And like others, clean & tidy, nice vibe, very local clientele, great service and best of all the food was just excellent.
As has been said previously, if you are traveling on I5 and need a nice break and some great food, I can't recommend The Last Stand Diner enough, real people and really good food!
Probably The best burger joint I've ever been to. Awesome atmosphere, amazing food. I got the cheese burger with jalapeños and grilled onions and the fried zucchini. Best fried zucchini I've ever had. We come out here to race and stopped at this place on the way home. From now on this will be our go to place after we leave the track. You don't find real burger joints like this anymore. Way better than any chain restraunt, hands down.
Review Source:We stopped by The Last Stand on the drive from Ashland to SF. Other reviews talked-up the burgers and I was really looking forward to one along with a cold one. When we pulled-up around 7 p.m. we found a mostly deserted bar down by the railroad tracks.
Turns out the grill closes at 5 p.m. and all they were serving was fried food. Their beer selection is small but you can probably find something to your liking. Really wish I got to try their burger :(
