The day we went was surprisingly busy because of course it was their 20th anniversary celebrations and we had no idea! Even with it being incredibly busy things came out quickly! I got to try a peach slushy margarita thingy (I forget the cute name) and that was delicious and refreshing! All the food was delicious and well made! My husband really enjoyed the burger and commented how much he liked the meat mix. The server was a delight, and all around it was a good choice to stop by! We will be back next time we're in Kernville!

We celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Ewing's Steakhouse, and it was the perfect choice…read more We've dined here several times over the years, and it never disappoints. We both enjoyed the steak and lobster, which were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The view overlooking the river was beautiful and made our anniversary dinner even more special. If you're visiting Kernville and looking for a great steakhouse with excellent food, great service, and a beautiful setting, Ewing's is a must. We can't wait to come back on our next trip!

The menu is simple with delicious choices for all, including some Vegan offerings. They have a full bar area and a few good wines. Tonight they had some live music in the background. Caleb & Miles were our excellent servers this evening providing us with a delightful experience. My companion and I started our visit with a bottle of Bianchi Cabernet from Paso Robles, Yum! We both ordered the Filet Mignon with Whiskey Butter, what a treat! My meal started with the best French Onion Soup I've ever had. The broth was deep & rich with slow Caramelized onion and melty cheese. I had two sides of freshly sautéed green beans and roasted mushrooms. My steak was tender and cooked to perfection and delicious. Whenever I'm in Kernville dining at Ewings is always a must. If you haven't tried them definitely put them on your list.

Good food but not the service!…read more I came here few time because that's my mom in law's favorite place to dine in. My husband and I drove from LA to take her and her husband for birthday dinner. Here is my positive and negative review based on our experience when we were there. Positive: Food cook perfectly as we asked for. We have 12oz and 8oz fillet mignon, 2 orders rib eyes steak for mom and her husband, large suchini appetizer. Pickle is delicious, you can ask as much as you want for free, good bread. The owner stop by at our table, my mom gave him compliment about the website video he done such a great one, so my mind automatically expect great service. Neg: My mom has reservation at 6PM, we arrived 5 mins b4 6, they didn't have or can't find my mom reservation. Waiting a bit then get our table at the last room due to a large parties were at the patio and crowded and noisy which no big deal for us, we can see the big parties from our window room. It took an hour for our steak, salad served with a warm bowl, suchini too dry to eat. By the time the steak ready, we are half full with bread, salad, pickle and appetizer. 5 minute after the waitress brought the food to us, my mom asked a box to go, my husband ate not even half of his steak, I can't finish my meal either. We are so full end up to bring our food home. The waitress take too long to bring our bill and we still waited again for our debit card back then walk to look the waitress at the bar ask our card. The whole experience is not my expectation with the money we spent we should get better service, also few flies and mosquito flying around on our food. I hope they consider to improve the service better in future

Great rustic restaurant along the Kern River about a 25 minute drive from Kernville. If you're…read morecoming during daylight ask for a table on their patio which is covered and has mosquito netting to allow a mostly bug free meal. Excellent steaks and service and the steaks are cooked properly to order. The meals are really expensive here with most steak dinners costing over $85 so keep that in mind if you're bringing a family. The less expensive dinners are still over $30. So if you want an excellent steak for yourself with a beautiful view check them out. Call ahead to make sure they are open as Yelps open hours are not correct. I think they are open 4:30 -9 pm most days in the summer months.

Yes,That bad. A skimpy ration of what they put between the rye toast and the disgusting over pricing - I gladly welcome vs. the "effects" of it on the human body. The rudeness, teribble service, and ignorance of the owner, and staff there goes right along with the effects of what happens afterwards. I would appreciate it if I were issued a T- shirt reading " I survived Cheryl's Diner" to serve as fair warning to those who are not aware. I believe in supporting the "Mom & Pop" establishments in our communities, but I would have to bet that "Pop" suffered and exited - after dining in this place. This would be a perfect target for Chef Gordon Ramsey to visit. Can't imagine the horror he'd find in the walk in freezer. Needless to say, If given the choice- I would choose military MRE's over this futile attempt of actually considering this place a " Diner". The loud gossip between the waitresses should have been enough of an indicator to leave. The results of the effects on the human body after eating there though, will assure that I will NEVER return. Actually, I feel it's only fair to warn others of the results of this poor choice. I would seriously consider beginning a "fast" to going through all that again. I'd love to admit I am exaggerating- were that the case. If they have " negative" grades on rating the "cuissine"- This place is a banner reason why. I can only offer my appology to my date, and fair warning to any who consider eating there. I would go onto the lack of cleanliness of the restrooms- but I am truly ready to simply let the memory of the place fade, and become an automatic warning to avoid it at all costs in the foreseeable future. If I had to sum it up on one word, I rekon "Disgusting" would do.

ATTENTION PILOTS!!! The Kern Valley Airport Cafe is BACK!…read more The new ownership and new cooks are amazing! I flew in this morning and grabbed a delicious breakfast sandwich (eggs, bacon, and cheese on sourdough) on my way to the river to fish for a couple hours. The trail is in good condition and it's just under a mile to the river. No bites today, but you know what they say about a bad day fishing - still better than a good day at work. Headed back to the cafe to grab lunch before flying back to KCMA. I got the co-pilot burger and fries. Definitely plenty of food. The burger is tasty and juicy and the cook adds just the right amount of lettuce, onions, and pickles so you get a perfect bite every time! I know a lot of us stopped flying here when the food and service took a nosedive, but I'm here to say: Airpark Cafe is back! L05 is a great little airport. They have a truck with 100LL. If you want to camp overnight, there is a separate ramp next to the camp sites and they have restrooms with running water! Getting in is easy and right traffic for 17 is as close as you'll get to mountain flying without heading out to Idaho. If you're a student pilot in a slump and just need a fun flight, L05 (Kern Valley) is a great trip.

I remember when they first made their way…read moreto Bakersfield, I was excited because when we moved out of Delano we would still drive back to visit their old family owned restaurant. Mama Lynn makes the best food ever! I think her cooking definitely plays a big part of my childhood and the reason why I love Chinese food, I always compare any other Chinese food to hers and hers always wins. I'm not gonna lie, I do miss the Ming location and the drive thru, but I get it... this new location looks a lot nicer and Maui Pho was not meant to be a drive thru restaurant since their restaurant isn't a fast food restaurant. I recently celebrated my birthday here and there was 9 of us and Maui Pho was able to take care of a big party. The restaurant inside is really nice, super clean and I absolutely love everything on the menu. I don't think I have eaten anything here that I did not like. They have combos if you're dining by yourself or if you're with friends/family and eating separately or they have family style items also. If you haven't come to visit their new location yet then you need to check it out. There's no issues with parking like when they were on Ming. If you're in a rush I wouldn't recommend this place because this is not a fast food restaurant, but if you do have time then please come because it's super delicious and worth the dine in experience.

I enjoy this Asian fusion restaurant because it has so many different options! When you look at the menu, you'll notice it has quite a variety to choose from. I really enjoyed their coconut shrimp that came with a side of macaroni salad and white rice. Make sure you're dunking your coconut shrimp in that sauce! It was tangy and delicious. Really enjoy the whole vibe & had a great experience dining here.
