I've only eaten there a couple of times but I haven't recommend that you take a freeway break and stop in. The lady that cooks at lunchtime is an excellent cook. 2 thumbs up!

Third time at The Ludlow Cafe. After all these years of passing through here. Beginning to stop for breakfast on the way and returning home from Laughlin/ Havasu. Like I always say, you cannot mess up bacon and eggs. Great coffee as well. I make it a point to leave early so I /we can stop here for it gets too late.. Thank you again and see you next time.

Great place to grab a bite on the way to the river or home from river. Quick service from friendly staff. Parking is great especially if you're towing. Decent prices considering most restaurants are skyrocketing. My personal favorite was the Belgium waffle with a sausage patty and eggs.

So I stopped to fuel up because the classic truckers boxing in on the freeway made me miss my first fuel turn-off. Noticed the diner and went, why not. I'm glad I did, though. I'm a patty melt guy. When I see it on the menu, I just have to try it, and yes, a real patty melt. Not a Frisco burger, a true patty melt. The waitress was very nice, agreed that the patty melt needs grilled onions, but it's optional here. So I chilled back with a great patty melt, excellent fries, and a spot on Dr. Pepper. Even though it was 114 degrees outside, this place was cool, comfortable, and relaxing. So it may be missed by a lot of travelers, but if you want a good patty melt, with friendly staff here ya go.

Located just 20 miles from the Amboy volcanic crater (which I'm told was last active in the 1930's!) Ludlow was one of the few little towns between Barstow & Laughlin - so glad there is a place to stop for food. The restaurant is very rustic and cute as there is a historical marker out front saying this area was originally a train station back in the day. For the food - it was pretty good. Girlfriend got the club sandwich ($13.99) with fries which was the first thing our waiter recommended and it was really good. I'm on a low-carb diet so I got the bacon cheeseburger combo ($17.99), protein style (no bun, wrapped in lettuce) with a salad & blue cheese dressing. The salad was really fresh & juicy. The burger was seasoned just right & the bacon was tasty. I also got the vegetable turkey soup which was not very tasty. I also need to mention that all their desserts here are homemade! We got the peanut butter cream pie ($5.59) - and added a scoop of maple bourbon pecan ice cream ($1.00 extra) and it was really good Overall this was nice stop for lunch on out road-trip. Glad we stopped in!
