Been hearing more and more about this place. in all my years of duning I have never been or heard of the place, i know boardmansville, but have not heard of duner's delight.

thanks!

Duners DINER. Follow Gecko till it ends and keeeeep going. When that ends.....turn right.

It's kinda like Margaritaville - it's all a state of mind.

so its in like gordons well

ooo you guys just renamed the darn place, its pair-a-dice... gotcha

It closed.... and if they had breakfast, it would suck anyway.. Don't bother...

HAHA X2....

From the end of Gecko to Duners Diner (actually Gordons drags) takes 15 - 18 minutes.

ooo it did close?

What a SHOCKER! NOT! The owner was an A-hole we watched him yell at a man in front of his to kids just because the guy had brought in a water bottle. The owner kicked him out while the poor guy apologized and repeatedly told the owner to stop yellng at him in front of his kids. As the guy was walking out of the place the owner shooved the guy from behind. The guy called the police and waited outside of the restaurant. I was at the bar and watched this happen personally. I asked the female bar tender who the hell was he and she told us it was the owner. She then had the nerve to ask us if we saw the owner get pushed by the guy. She was watching the whole thing next to us when it went down. I guess she wanted me and my friend to go along with her story to protect her boss when the cops showed up. Vowed never to return to that place. To bad cause the lady sure did pour some good stiff drinks.

No...
I was just telling ya to stay away because we don't like your "kind" (Glamis people) around there...

Wow. Thanks for that.

IMO, the place isn't really worth the ride from Glamis. The ride is sort of fun, but vendors has much better food and it's typically quite a bit cheaper than DD.

Thanks for sharing the story.

Sounds like he got lucky that day, you push the wrong guy in the back and you might get knocked the eff out !

What an a-hole !

I thought Ron Pratt owned Duner's Diner, I really could't see him shoving a guy out the door. It was probably the manager, but still shouldn't have happened.

i was in the bar area with some friends in 2008, and some a-hole was yelling at some girl that had a little dog on her lap telling her to leave and followed her and her friends out the door as he continued to yell.
the food really isnt that good in that place either, actually it sucks.
that idiot hasent been lucky enough to yell at the right person.

Ron does own it. I am sure these folks are referring to the old owners who now run it for Ron. They can be a little ruff for sure. The are not going to win any personality contests anytime soon!

We had breakfast there last Sunday and the Breakfast bowl was pretty damn good... We've never had any probs there, the place looks 100x better now that pratt remodeled it..

The ride is 99% of the reason to go there in the first place!

i normally would even entertain the thought of going to duners diner, but now with boardmanville becoming a pain in the (_|_) to go to. I am trying to find out where we will go...

Seen this before 2 times in the last 2 years yes he comes to the table yelling and grabs them and tells them to leave its a good laugh though one of these days someone is going to just knock him out.

Went for drinks a few weeks ago. The waitress politely asked one of us with a water bottle to get rid of it, said it was against the law to bring it in. Don't know if it is a law or rule but regardless the booze was good.

The food sucks but its a break to have a soda before we drive back. Id tell that old fart to go f himself if he cries about a bottle of water. Youd be spending 20 bucks on a couple of burgers as it is. Psyco for sure.

Havent been there in several years but after hearing this they wont be getting my business. Life is too short to get treated like this, especially in front of kids. New years several from the group went over from Buttercup but I said no thanks, my egg sandwiches with hash browns are better and cheaper.

I've been there a dozen times in 5 years, never had a problem and always treated quite well by the staff. I was there when some douchy guy freaked out because they put lettuce on his burger when he asked for no lettuce, he yelled "I said no lettuce!", and was then surrounded by BIG staff guys that were just about to go to work on this guy when the older lady that runs the register shouted "DON'T". The guys backed off and the douche left with his burger minus the lettuce. I thought the whole thing was handled fine. If the sign says "no water bottles", then abide by it, and you'll have no problem. Sounds like a bunch of people can't read or can't respect a business's rules and wanna complain that they were dealt with.

I am with you all the way on that one! Great ride for me for sure!

Ya but screaming and yelling over a water bottle seems a little excessive

Our group camps @ Gordons and have gone to Pair a Dice quite a few times in the last couple of years. I have never had a problem, the people that work there are always friendly to us... we usually take the kids there for ice cream in the early and late part of the season when it is hot. Also gives the adults a chance to have a couple of beers and watch some sports out on the patio.

Duner Delight is a forum on gd.com

The people that work there are VERY rude. The ride is fun and their attitude is kinda fun in a "I wonder what the old lady is going to say to us today."

And if you yell at a grown man in front of his young son you should expect to get punched. I have been in business arguments with with people and if their kids happen to walk in for whatever reason I just smile and deal with it later. I respect nobody more than I do my Dad - and nobody should make a man look like a bitch in front of his kids.

i agree 100% with you, we used to go there at least once a trip when we camped at buttercup but recently we hadnt been going because of the way they treat people and act. i had seen times that someone carried a water bottle in and got screamed at and chased like they had a freakin bomb...its a water bottle tell the people nicely they cant bring it in!

Never has been a problem for us. The heart attack bowl is a "BELLY BOMB".

Come on Chuck, I understand that there maybe a sign somewhere were it says not to bring in drinks. But the customer out in the desert is going to forget from time to time that he's walking around with a bottle of water in the heat. So why not politely point to the sign and say "no water bottles sir". Instead you are a business in the desert that is relying on the few customers that camp around your location and you treat them like that. And you stated "wanna complain that they were dealt with" does that mean belittling them in front of their kids and pushing them from behind because they are not walking out fast enough? And then asking customers to back up their boss and change the story for when the cops come...no thanks.

Somebody please tell me how to get to this place from Buttercup. I gotta go to this place just to see what all the hoopla is about.

Thanks, Tank

I had a breakfast bowl there yesterday morning....they didn't tell me it was closed.
Been going there for years, have never had a problem....the only people I've seen kicked out needed to be kicked out!

Other side of the freeway (going north), next to the cell tower.

Although I respect their rules about the water bottle thing, if it were my joint, I'd allow people to bring in whatever they want. Even BYOB would be fine with me. Sell some killer bar food and make it a party! The more people you get in there the funner it'll be and everyone would be happy. JMO

I don’t know of any bar or restaurant that will let you bring in an outside beverage. It’s not fine dinning but the grub is good and I’ve always been treated respectfully by the staff maybe it has something to do with how I treat them.

Probably been there 40 times. Never had any problems, and the food has always been good. Just make sure you're pants are pulled up.

Anybody got a GPS coordinate? I would like to find it this weekend...

You don't need no GPS

Run sand highway along the east side of the canal from Gecko. It will veer east away from the canal. There is one drop off that if you hit just right and to fast you will lawn dart. Stay on it until you see all the camps at Gordon well, turn right before you drive into the canal by the interstate. Head to the cell tower and go over the bridge that crosses the canal from Gecko. Bounce over the woops until you hit the parking lot. Pull up your pants if needed and leave the water bottle in the car.

You are in the desert. Peeps will carry water as a matter of survival. They must be so desperate to sell water.

Been there plenty of times. Those bowls set you straight till 4pm for sure. Years ago I came up with the super bowl. Next year there was the heart attack bowl.

is it like glamis store pizza prices? friggin 30 bucks for a large pizza and 50 cents a ranch dressing... I about died last time I went there and it wasnt from the pizza

Dude, you should work for Mapquest! Them's some fine directions.

X2 can someone post the coordinates? Id like to know how far im going, make sure i dont run out of gas

Coordinates from the pin on the map from Google earth

32°42'30.41"N
114°57'53.63"W

Thanks for the laugh this morning. I almost spit my diet coke all over my computer and your correct about the one drop off. My friend hit it at about 115 mph, lawn darted and went end over end three times. Had to get some staples in his head after that one. Be careful there!!!!

Two words: concealed carry.

Good food, fun ride, and yes they have asked me the lose the water bottle several times, no big deal.
