BARSTOW — After nearly 50 years of serving residents and travelers, the owners of Idle Spurs Steakhouse have announced that the Western-themed restaurant has served its last meal.

“Morgan and Donna Ray had a dream of opening a restaurant that served great food and a place that the people of Barstow could be proud of,” the Ray’s son-in-law, Mark Zimmerman, told the Daily Press. “I think they accomplished that dream over the last 46 years.”

On Jan. 22, the family posted a message on the eatery’s social media accounts that announced the closure of the restaurant that opened in 1974 on Highway 58, north of Main Street in Barstow. Read more here.

Megan and I have stopped here many, many times over the years.

Our very best wishes to Mark and Judy Zimmerman and all of their staff!

Mark and Megan
