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 :(
A must stop for me when I am looking for a lunch spot in this part of Nor Cal. Â Great burgers and sandwiches. Â If it's a weekend and I am not on business, excellent place to kick back and have a beer.
If you are traveling I5 and looking for an off beat place for lunch this is it. Â Come on over and join the locals. Â A friendly place to stop off at.
My husband and I stopped on our way home. We had a great time! The burgers were really good! Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We enjoyed the choices of fries. My husband had tator tots and I had curly fries. The staff was very friendly! Â They mentioned that this is the last place you could drive up, park and order a beer 2 feet from your car! Â There were all locals there. I would definitely recommend stopping when driving the I-5. Only a mile off the road also!
Review Source:This is a true hamburger stand. It's partially outside and you can tell everyone in town loves this joint. I live out of town but frequent this place only because my husband and I go to a horse trainer in Ord Bend. The burgers are amazing. The sports pharaphrnially is great. I'm a SF Giants and Niners fan but they cater to all bay area fans. They have it all. You can watch the game chit chat with the locals who are super friendly. Not to mention you can eat an amazing burger! You have your choices of toppings and cheeses. The waitress even brought us more condiments. They have a chipotle spread that I highly recommend putting on your burger. If you pass through this town stop by and have a burger.
Review Source:I'm giving The Last Stand five stars, but understand that the final star (or star-and-a-half) is for character. Â
I've already said that I frequent the Starbucks just off of I-5 in Willows because it's exactly halfway between my home and SacTown, so I understand the appeal of freeway convenience and corporate predictability. Â But do yourself a favor. Â If you're tempted to partake in the fast food options near the main Willows I-5 interchange, drive another two minutes into town and check out The Last Stand.
Ambiance: Â An indoor/outdoor bar that The Last Stand claims is the last stand-up bar in California. Â Open-air, like a funky beach bar in Mexico. Â Kind of a sports-bar vibe with the flat-screen TVs tuned to ESPN. Â Plenty of indoor seating, too, if that's what you want.
Food: Â I ordered a double burger, thinking I'd get something along the lines of an In-N-Out double. Â Instead, this monster was four inches high, including generous amounts of crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, red onion, pickles, and thick patties. Â I had to feed one patty to a very grateful Labrador retriever pup. Â Better garlic fries than the ones that I'm hooked on at AT&T Park, with tons of sauteed chunks of garlic.
Drink: Â The Last Stand has a decent selection of draft beers and a wider selection of bottled microbrews. Â After my Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, I took a nap on our bench with my head on TL's lap. Â How long was I out?
Service: Â Laid back and friendly. Â
Dog factor: Â They have a bucket of fresh water on the patio for your pooch that Yampa hit at least twice.
I'm not saying that it's gourmet, or even 50's or 60's traditional/nostalgic in the sense that some mom-and-pop burger joints almost desperately strive for. Â It's kind of a singular experience. Â See for yourself.
This is a great place to stop at for a burger and a beer! The Last Stand is a small covered outside bar that you can pull your car up to, go onto their patio and order a beer. It is the last one of it's kind (hence the name "The Last Stand"). Â This place has burgers, sandwiches, fried food, and beer. Catch some of tge game on one of the many TV's or come ib the summertime to get a cold one.
-patty melt with green salad, cheeseburger w/ macaroni salad and two 16oz beers $19.75.
-right on the corner of Wood St. & hwy 162.
-worth a stop, new owners....clean place, good burgers.
I have only been here once, so I am no expert on this place. But I like the idea. It really is a walk up bar, with TVs and a bar to lean on, but it's just a liquor shanty in a dirt lot. The prices are of course cheap like everything else in this town compared to the bay area. The clientele here is decidedly old(er), but that might be your thing. It seems like the kind of place that would be particularly packed after a high school football game if you can imagine. Their closing time is whenever the people go home. The food here is burgers until 8 or so and then they have a fryer. I am not sure what that means really...maybe fries. But I didn't ask. I say saunter on up to this little shanty, but bring some friends because there is a pretty strong local contingent of parents and old folks.
