#16 Cafe BBQ



I love this sign. It’s outside the Halfway House Cafe on Sierra Highway. This cafe has been used in a lot of TV shows and movies for a lot of years, and it still operates as a little roadside diner.

A couple of years ago I made a date with my husband to meet me here for fries and a Coke on the way home from work (it’s on his way, and on mine if I get off the freeway). Just wanted to see what it was like inside. The next night we were watching an old episode of Starsky & Hutch—personal research to find out just how much of a dork I was for having a huge crush on PMG in my teenhood—and they were in the Halfway House Cafe!!

It’s been remodeled since then, but not really improved. It needs to maintain a certain flavor.

There’s an old gas station next door that sometimes shows up on fim, too.
