Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe

If you're passing through the high desert in Southern California or venturing the Route 66 path, you need to make a stop at Emma Jean's in Victorville and order their signature, Brian Burger. While not the only tasty item on the menu, the sandwich's popularity is becoming legendary.

Emma Jean's has been serving customers on Historic Route 66 since 1947 when it was originally The Holland Burger Cafe. Truck driver and regular customer Richard Gentry along with Wife/ Holland Burger Cafe waitress Emma Jean, purchased the property in 1979 adding the "Emma Jean's" to the name. Today, the property is run by Richard and Emma Jean's son Brian Gentry and his Wife Shawna. It is the oldest standing restaurant in the Victorville area.

The Brian Burger w/Fries

The Brian Burger is a thick, juicy 1/2 pound beef patty served on cheese crusted sourdough bread, gooey melting swiss on top and bottom and a tangy green Ortega chili. Great flavor and texture contrast!
