Go grab a drink and mix with the locals you'll definitely have an experience and a good time.

Honestly the chili stood out among the brisket and roast beef sandwiches. The brisket meat when I tried it on its own was very good but fatty. The roast beef was good but compared to the chili, I'd probably just eat a whole bowl. Lastly, don't be discouraged by its tough exterior. We walked in and there was live music playing and the bartender greeted us kindly as we sat down.

If you go for brunch on Saturday definitely get there early as they fill up fast and don't take reservations. As the place fills up the noise does escalate. But it's a happy fun atmosphere.

But you don't want Mexican food, so what to do? Well, the ambiance and service here are fine. The food is fine. You aren't going to leave here feeling like it was a terrible experience, but you aren't going to leave trying to plan your next trip back either. My burger was slightly overcooked and slightly under seasoned. The fries were fine. The toppings were fresh. My wife's salad was mostly iceberg lettuce and a reasonable amount of over cooked chicken. Our server was fine if a little inattentive. The decor is fine. You know you're in a steakhouse-esque establishment that isn't in its hey day. But things are clean enough. I'm sure I'll be back the next time I come to Ridgecrest. Mostly because a restaurant that is 'fine' is about as good as I've found here.
