mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog and Cathy is one of the bloggers. So are Kirk and ed (from Yuma) and even a few others. We just write when we can about what we eat. This week, there is a running theme.
Hi. You know I drive North on the I-15 a lot lately.
Not very far past this common sight is this exit.
Go around (past and right) the Mobil station and park in the Park and Ride lot.
You are there.
Nessy Burgers.
The restaurant kitchen in a trailer.
The place without a phone.
The place that is now open on Sunday. (There was a sign in the parking lot)(It never used to be)
The menu.
All sandwiches are served on large, toasted sesame seed buns and include a slice of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and a Thousand Island-ish sauce. It does not cost less if you don't get cheese. No pickles.
There are bottles of catsup, mustard and the sauce if you want to put it on yourself.
Lots of lettuce. A full slice of onion. 
The bun is toasted, the slice of American cheese is not melted (does that stuff melt?)and that you get a SLICE of onion...not just some raw onion rings....You can ask for grilled onions instead of or in addition to on your burger...but it is easier for The Mister to remove the whole raw onion when we share...
The Nessy Burger ($5.50)
A good size 1/3 lb patty, hand formed. Juicy, cooked in its own grease. It's said the fresh ground meat is a mix of sirloin and chuck. Very good in that it is not cooked too much, but needs some salt, even though salt and pepper are put on when cooking. The other ingredients (various spices, including garlic) give it flavor.
The fries, although the standard crinkle cut ones are perfectly cooked and salted. If you put some on your burger, taking off and eating some of the lettuce with a side of the Thousand Island-ish sauce, that will impart the salt the burger needs.
$2.75 and way more than two people should eat.
The Polish Sandwich ($5.50). Served on the same toasted bun with same toppings (I asked for no cheese because that is just wrong.
Cans of soda here are $1.25, or you can walk over to the Mobil station to get a 32 ounce fountain beverage for 77 cents, a 24 ounce fountain beverage for 99 cents or two Vitamin Waters for $2.22...doing math in your head while you are waiting for your food. Although, since the menu is so limited, there is not much of a wait.
Stop if you are driving by. It is good.
Nessy Burgers North West Corner of State Route 76 and Interstate 15
Open Mon-Friday 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Sat *and* Sun 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Cash only. No phone.
Nice. We've stopped at the gas station quite a bit. Gonna have to get a burger breakfast there on our next trip to Riverside.

We love Nessy Burgers! The fries, although standard, are usually fried up very nice. We used to stop there for lunch whenever we visited a persimmons farm in Fallbrook. Alas the farm has been long since closed and we haven't been to Nessy's since. I'll have to find a reason to stop by for lunch.

Hi, Jan- You see it when you fuel up and have never stopped?!?!!!! That's how I find the most interesting places...just driving and stopping. Makes The Mister crazy...
You are not as good as justifying car trips as I am, Carol...You must practice more. :)

I definitely have to work on just getting in the car and going. I so lazy sometimes I wonder how I find enough energy to stuff my face! :-D

Oh, that's a concept,Jan...eating breakfast before leaving home on a road trip...
It is so much fun to just get up and drive with no plans, Carol. I love that less can go wrong since there are no plans. Whatever happens, happens. Especially the food!
