Jawbone Canyon Store

These guys are awesome. Came in today in desperate battery need. They took care of me fast and tested the battery before sending me off to show it could start a vehicle. They went the extra mile and you could beat the deal. Thanks for the help.

What a total rip off is what my 12 year old boy said after I put some gas in the truck. Not really I said, thank god that this place has gasoline for all the dumb assess like myself that didn’t have enough gas to get to the next town. Yes, it’s true I paid double for gas but thank god the owner puts up with all the state of California BS and has gas because my family and I would have either pushed my 4000 pond Toyota Tundra a few miles or we would have experienced a long day in the desert while we waited for AAA to show up.
First off, this place looks like an old rundown auto shop right out of the movie urban cowboy. If you ever saw the movie then try and remember where Sissy worked, this place looks like it will do for when they make the sequel. There’s a dirty little dog running around the front of the shop greeting customers as they arrive, there are also a few abandoned cars and possibly a few abandoned buildings surrounding the main entrance of the store.
Yes I did go inside and from what I can tell it’s like a little oasis in the middle of nowhere. I saw a man talking to a handful of teenagers, they look like they were riding in the area. The man behind the counter was giving them directions to some of the better places to ride. There were lots of cold drinks, water and beef jerky like snacks. Almost like the famous slash X bar off the 241 in Barstow only without the bar.
So enough with the detailed information about a little tiny gas station/​liquor store on the middle nowhere, please do me a favor, if you’re in the area and you need something cold to drink or even some gas, stop in and give these guys some business. They saved my ass today and I’m very happy that I found this hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. I’m going to try and stop in and buy something here every time I pass this way. Thank you to the owner of the yellow oasis in the middle of nowhere, you saved my ass today!

Great place to stop for kids books and books about California travel and History. The staff was helpful. It should have restrooms attracted to the building instead of the «outhouses».

GOD BLESS JAWBONE STORE!!! THEY ARE AN OASIS IN THE DESERT!!! Iv been riding the Mojave desert sence 1975, then discovered bonks jawbone store in 1979, a awsome little place to rest and have a cold one, my son was only 4 years old riding on my tank from dove springs just for a ice cream samie, when it burned down it was like losing a family member, then out of the ashes jawbone came back to life, its my favorate place ever!!!

Love this place:…great family memories riding dirt bikes here for some fun grub

Great staff wonderful food and mary the head cook is just amazing !
Nate is very helpful this place is like a giant family great tunes and beer plus yummy belly filling foods
Perfect for those days when you ride all day then you come out here and have a huge plate made especially by mary !!
Totally worth the 30 min drive to get there
We will return for one of their parties next weekend to see how it is !

Customer service here is old-​school. Old-​school in the most basic sense that if you need help, they will help you get whatever you need. Case in point, all I needed was a postcard and a stamp, and the gentleman just gave me a stamp after I bought some postcards of Bob the 100 year old desert tortoise. It’s not often to find such kindness.
The visitor center here is incredibly educational and there were some great children books and books for pre-​teens and teens that I regret not buying as Christmas gifts. I highly recommend taking a drive through the desert and stopping here. I never could have imagined that it would be so beautiful, educational and people would be THIS friendly.

Best place n people ever! The bands n pitchers of beer are the perfect fix after a day of riding:)
