    Empty Plate - once was a Taco Salad
    James M.

    What a great spot, my biggest issue was trying to figure out what to order. I looked around the café & everything looked good from breakfast to dinner plates on other customers tables. I was torn until my wife said we can come back for breakfast before we leave the area- LOL. We were seated quickly, our Waitress was super friendly & helpful (and very patient). I went with the Taco Salad, wife did her go to (a classic burger). My Taco Salad was the BEST that I have had in a long time - very happy with my choice. The beer was perfect, and all the ingredients complemented the flavor (see pic) Wife loved her burger, I had a bite, it was delicious. Crinkle Fries were hot & crispy. Good friendly family environment with a casual hometown feel.

    A local favorite year after year! We ordered off the "Light" menu and still couldn't finish it all! Great diner food, served hot and fresh. My go to deciding factor is eggs cooked perfectly, no brown bits, and hash browns and bacon extra crispy !!! All served up by pleasant servers! Happy Tummy!

    We have been wanting to try Henry's since we moved up here. All the locals have been telling us to come check it out. We came here after the lunch rush on Saturday. The place was nice a clean. I love the art on the walls. The two waitresses working there were very friendly and got us seated quickly. We got our drinks quickly as well. My boys ordered fish and chips and a cheese burger with bacon. They both loved what they got. My husband got the turkey cranberry melt as a wrap and he said it was delicious. I got the Henry's dip and it was very tasty. The only suggestion I would say is to salt the fries but maybe they don't because of the older crowd that comes in. I don't know. They had salt available on the table so I just added salt. I also asked for a side of their BBQ sauce because they make it from scratch and it's absolutely delicious!! I took it home to make some bbq chicken sandwiches

    Omg....get the Plow Boy. Its huge. You can probably split it. Its a pastrami brisket sandwich. The jalapeños give it a nice little kick. It comes with a side and a pickle. Henry's Cafe was a cute little dinner. I would definitely come back if I were in the area. The breakfast looked good too.

    On my way to Vegas, I needed a caffeine kick to stay alert behind the wheel. I exited off Highway 58 and discovered Henry's Cafe. From the outside, the place looks very unassuming, but once inside, you'll find a spacious dining area that is well-organized and comfortable. I was greeted by the hostess and requested a coffee to go. While she was preparing my coffee, I looked around and noticed that the food being served looked really delicious. Had I not arrived with a full stomach, I would have sat down to order a meal. The coffee was excellent, and I happily got back on the road. However, I made a mental note to stop here next time and try a meal.

    Clean, friendly, and delicious. This is the place to go to for breakfast/ brunch. Clean area, clean bathrooms, and friendly service as soon as you walk in.

    Pretty decent biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was the bready type of biscuit.

    I've lived up here most of my life, and I've never gone to Henry's so today we decided to check it out. We've always heard that it was good. This place sure gets busy. There were a lot of out-of-towners. The wait was about 20 minutes. All of the staff were nice and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for a waitress and drinks once we were seated. Our food came out relatively decent amount of time considering how busy they were. I had the chorizo and eggs with homestyle fries and biscuit and gravy. The chorizo and eggs was excellent. It was probably the best chorizo and eggs I've had at a restaurant, they make them just like how I make them at home. The homestyle fries were perfect. The biscuit and gravy was pretty decent. The biscuit is more on the dense bread side and the sausage gravy was good. My wife had the chicken fried steak and I had a bite. It was pretty good. She said everything else was great, the eggs, the hashbrowns and the pancake. Our waitress even offered us to go cups for our sodas, that scored extra points with me. All in all we had a great breakfast here and I think we will come back here sometime in the future, maybe for dinner next time.

    Love this lil coffee shop in Tehachapi! Great food and staff! Tried their signature chile better omelette. So bomb! First time I noticed it on the menu and love it. The corned beef hash, chicken fried steak are great go to's. They've never let us down. Always extra to take home. Plenty of parking in lot. Depending on the time you go, there may be a bit of a wait. But well worth it!

Tuesday, March 10th, we traveled to Bakersfield to pick up a vehicle I had purchased, and of course had to stop by Kohnen's. My wife and I split a Tuna and Cheddar Panini, and a loaded Turkey (we arrived too late for Sourdough!!). It is difficult to walk away without a mini-pie (try them all, but blackberry is freaking amazing!!). As always, Danelle was there with her typical congeniality and work ethic! We love her!! And I got to tell her about her doppelgänger in a restaurant in Yucaipa!! They do exist!! In summary, eat at Kohnen's!! Say hi to Danelle!

    I visited Kohnen's Bakery Tehachapi yesterday with my family, and this was honestly one of the…read moreworst customer service experiences I've ever had. I only purchased two items -- one cream puff and one slice of cheesecake -- but the cashier charged my card THREE times due to repeated mistakes. Here's exactly what happened: 1) My first card (Card A) was charged $11.20. The cashier asked me if I wanted a receipt, and I said yes. Then she told me the receipt didn't come out because the transaction "didn't go through," and asked me to provide my card again. 2) I gave the same card again, and this time she charged $11.69. 3) Then again, she told me that it didn't go through, so I used a different debit card (Card B), which was charged $11.20. While sitting at the table with my family, I immediately checked my bank account and thought I had only been charged twice. I spoke to a staff member at the store and requested a refund for one of the $11.20 charges, which was processed. However, today I realized I had actually been charged three times, meaning there was still another $11.20 that needed to be refunded. So I called the bakery and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with someone named Danielle. I calmly explained the entire situation and told her I would send all my receipts and bank transaction records by email so they could double-check and confirm everything. She said ok and gave me their email address, but it was very long, and I was concerned about making a mistake while writing it down. So I politely asked if she could text me the email address instead. Her response was extremely rude -- she said, "I'm not required to do that," and told me to just write it down myself if I had a pen and paper. Although I was already uncomfortable with her attitude, I carefully wrote it down and sent the email. However, the email bounced back as invalid, even though I had confirmed the spelling with her multiple times over the phone. When I called again, Danielle answered and said, "Ma'am," in a very dismissive tone, and told me that they had found the three charges and had already processed refunds for both $11.20 transactions. I tried to confirm which card the refund was going to, since I used two different cards, but after putting me on hold for a long time, she read off a card number that was not mine. When I told her that wasn't my card, she insisted those were the only transactions for $11.20 yesterday and told me to "check my bank in a few days" and call back if the refund doesn't show up. And, she didn't apologize for the mistake, even though they charged my cards three times and wasted a significant amount of my time. Even yesterday, when I asked for an apology, I only received one reluctantly after I pointed out that they had made a mistake -- and even then, the response was dismissive, as if I should just accept it because they were "taking care of it." The attitude throughout this entire situation was rude, unprofessional, and extremely frustrating. The cheesecake was very good. But because of this experience, I would never come back. We drove all the way from Los Angeles to Tehachapi with my family, expecting a pleasant visit, but this bakery completely ruined the day. Being charged a total of $34.09 for just two small items due to repeated errors is unacceptable. If your staff cannot properly process payments, they should not be working as cashiers. Situations like this should never happen. What's even worse is that after making multiple mistakes, there was not a single sincere apology -- only attitude, dismissiveness, and instructions for me to keep checking my bank and call back again. My time is valuable. This entire situation could have been avoided if things were handled properly from the beginning. This was an extremely unpleasant experience, and I am very disappointed. Cf) For reference, the other $16.05 receipt is for bread that my brother purchased.

We were there on a Sunday afternoon and the Sunday afternoon knitting club was there knitting and pearling away while they sipped delicious coffee and ate delicacies from the baked goods. We were there for the delicious turkey ciabatta sandwich. The bread is toasted and it just makes the turkey spinach and tomato covered with melted provolone so much more tasty I chatted a while with members of the knitting club while we waited for our sandwich. They're there every Sunday and they knit for people that have cancer who need hats to stay warm. It's a great community up here in Tehachapi. I was impressed with it several years ago when we held a dance recital here this coffee shop seems to be sort of a club of community activity. The only downside is it does take a while to get your order because they're busy, but that sandwich was worth waiting for, and it made the miles from Tehachapi to Mojave speed by

After doing a quick Yelp search i found Red House BBQ. From the being to end the whole experience was great, we were greeted promptly and sat down just as fast. We opted to sit outside since it was a beautiful day with great weather. The patio and outside seating is huge, the inside is a bit smaller but still has plenty of seating and it's nice I love the decor. I went with the Tri Tip sandwich and added hot-links which was a great choice I also got a side of fries. The Tri Tip was well seasoned it had the crack peppercorn taste that I personally love. Served on a soft Brioche bun I believe. They give you 3 bbq sauces on the side to choose from Sweet and mild , mild and spicy all three were delicious. My wife and daughter went with the pulled pork sandwich which I tried an it was delicious,especially the little pieces of Bark. My wife had a side of Mac and cheese and my daughter a side salad. They said the Mac and cheese was delicious and so was the side salad it was fresh. They do have a small bar nothing big and offer beer,wine and some mixed drinks. Overall it was great experience and I say even better BBQ than most of the spots I've tried in Bakersfield. It's a shame it's about 45 mins away but I'll be definitely making the trip back soon to try something else on the menu.

Pulled pork, Mac n cheese, sliced Tri-tip. Very fresh and tasty, and large portions on the plate. The service was horrendous. It started with walking in and the waitress said "wait and have a seat". Wait and sit where? There was no easily identified waiting area. All the tables were full. Oh...across the room on the one empty seat at the bar. Glad I spotted it. We placed an order for onion rings as an appetizer while we reviewed the menu. Several minutes later we placed our entree order. Shortly after that our entrees came out, no appetizer. Five minutes after our entree arrived the appetizer showed up. I wanted my water refilled but we didn't see our waitress for 15mins, finally having to flag down another waitress to assist. Later I asked the manager to explain how the appetizer showed up long after our entrees, even though I placed the appetizer order first. She spoke so fast with a strong non-American accent that she was difficult to understand. I asked her to slow down because I didn't understand her, yet she continued to talk fast with her thick accent that I could only pick up bits and pieces. Something about fried food taking longer to cook than the already-prepared meat. I told her the service was disappointing. She said "okay" and told her waitress to fill my glass. And that was the end of the visit. I don't know who owns the place, but we did not receive a positive customer service experience, rather just getting lots of broken excuses. 2 stars for the food. Nothing for service and management.
