EMMA JEAN'S HOLLAND BURGER - VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA

One of the best "roadfood" place and very cozy. Step inside Emma Jean's to experience and see the real vintage truckstop cafe.
Caution - watch out for the lovely young lady working there; she might spray ketchup at you if you don't behave!
We were treated to a great view of the hummingbird "getting its lunch" while enjoying our generous portion of Emma's hamburger and onion rings.

A scene from "Kill Bill" movie was filmed here.
