The Tiny Pony Tavern - Yucca Valley, California

The Tiny Pony is a fantastic mix of disco, cowboy chic, and dive bar charm. My wife and I had a great time dining at this local spot—it absolutely lived up to the hype. The drinks are strong, the decor is lively and unique, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Whether you’re in the mood for a stiff drink, tasty bites, or a fun atmosphere with plenty of photo ops, this place has it all. Highly recommend!

Solid burger. Wings are fried well and tasty. Got the lemon pepper dry rub because I didn’t want them to get soggy in the car. It was a little strong. The sweet chili are probably the way to go. Frozen painkiller is delicious. A fun place to go any time of day.

The Tiny Pony is a true treasure, a refreshing and nuanced take on the classical dive bar genre.
Very welcoming and efficient staff! We were sat and eating within five minutes! (that has to be a world record). Our server (Lauren) was very kind and thorough, and, (thankfully) didn’t allow us to put poison in our bodies without our ID’s.
11/10 food too.
The veggie burger was great and the same price as the burger and the roll of paper towels on every table was a godsend!
It would be a sin not to stop by here.

We had a lunch there because it was across street from Tesla charging station. There is deli right next to the restaurant. Seat yourself. Service was quick but they have very limited menu. They have pool table and nice back cool open seating.

Super snooty front door hostess. Food was decent for a dive bar which is why they get two stars. We waited for 45 minutes for a table during which we ordered a couple drinks and an appetizer for the bar. When we sat down, I asked where we should order and the front door lady gave me a condescending look and asked “well, where did you get all that food?” I told her that we had ordered it from the bar, but we’re still waiting to order dinner and she just rolled her eyes at us. We eventually got someone to take our order but terrible service here! When we were trying to close our bill, I asked multiple people for our bill and nobody ever came. They all said yes they would bring our check but it took us 30 minutes to even pay our bill. This place is just awful and I cannot recommend it. Also, they overcharged us. I didn’t even care at that point because I just wanted to get the heck out of there! Also they let us order the special loaded cool ranch Dorito pie just to let us know they no longer had it 20 minutes later. Cool cool.

We came in on a Friday with our small dog, went to the outdoor patio ordered fries, pretzel bites. We could tell right away the food was going to be good, but man- the duck nacho’s were exceptional, my boar sloppy Joe was messy and amazing(the sage was magical).

Update- my wife just exclaimed the duck nacho’s were the best she has ever had in her life.

If you’re a local you’re lucky- if you’re traveling through make a stop. It’s worth it!

Stopped by for lunch. The restaurant was busy but we still managed to get a good seat. They also have a patio if you walk through the restaurant. Cool ambiance with a large bar and daily changing special such as burger Monday or a special day for wine.
The tiny pony burger is a good hamburger but also not outstanding, just good. The shrimp tacos were bigger than expected and very fresh. The also have a photo box (3 photos, 2 copies for 5$)

Burger and fries were really good! Great spot for a quick lunch before heading out to the park. I hear it can turn into quite the spot at night as well! Great food and service!
