16 Restaurants Worthy Of A Day Trip Outside LA

"To call Pappy & Harriet’s a mere restaurant would be selling the place short. It’s an iconic saloon/outdoor music venue with history dating back to the 1940s when the original building (and the surrounding Pioneertown) were constructed as a Wild West-era frontier set for Hollywood films. Needless to say, we wish these walls could talk. This place is more of a nightlife destination than a dining one, but that said, it's popular for a reason: they’re open all day on weekends and crowds show up early to eat BBQ, dance to live music, and take in all the insane glory emitting from this high desert landmark.  " - brant cox, garrett snyder
