We decided to take a quick detour off 202 on the way home and give this place a try. I don't have anything to complain about. The draft beers were ice cold, service was amazing, atmosphere was very chill and to top it off the food was awesome. I had the ribeye. It was seasoned great, cooked the way I wanted it. The baked potato was perfect and it wasn't dry. I ate the whole thing, the veggies are your typical vegetable melody. My clam chowder was pretty good. It's nice and thick. My wife had the pastrami loaded fries. She was super happy with it so overall, we were super happy with our meal at J's and we are definitely gonna come back maybe for some breakfast next time. read more

Walking into this restaurant is like time traveling into the idyllic past of an old Western town eatery. The atmosphere pays tribute to veterans, firefighters, and law enforcement officers who serve our country. Badges and flags adorn the walls. The menu is extensive and the food is served with Western hospitality. The portions are large and the food cannot be faulted. Hot coffee, toasty toast with melted butter will grace your table. I really tried to control myself but when everything is so good, you want to keep chomping! read more

Their breakfast food is excellent. Their omelets are huge and they make great options for the omelets as well as their French Toast, paired with bacon and eggs. I highly recommend J's Place for breakfast, lunch or even dinner. They've got various options after breakfast. The staff's excellent service and the ease of maneuvering from the entrance to the dining area is very nice and simple for families to use and enjoy their experience. read more

Been coming here for sometime decided to try their dinner. Let me tell you something the burger is bigger than you think and tastes better than it looks. And always service better than the last time I was here every time. You will remember this burger. read more

Great unassuming place with excellent food and nice service. Jamie is awesome! I had the sausage links as usual and they are huge!

Service is great, my child and I didn't like the food. They serve the pre frozen crinkled French fries, their meat patties are over cooked and they serve low quality food that is over priced. I do not recommend. read more

Amazing food! The Cobb Father salad wrap is one of my FAVORITE THINGS I'VE EVER ATE! So much hard boiiled egg, blue cheese - great fresh quality. I don't think I've ever had a wrap so good anywhere else! Also good is the Ring of Fire Burger! read more

Food is very good, like a home cooked meal, large portions and friendly staff. Breakfast is excellent.

Awesome menu, always friendly staff and today the upper section was opened because they were busy! Ordered the burgers and the home-made chips which are to die for. Perfectly cooked burgers, we get extra chips to take home they're that good. We eat here at least once a week. Nice to see a place honoring our military, LEO's and Fire Fighters! read more

Very nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Tacos are highly recommended and HUGE. It does have a patriotic vibe.

Bad food and terrible service. The restaurants environment was not the most welcoming either.

Best breakfast spot in Tehachapi!! It's no secret J's is the spot for a hardy, home cooked, delicious breakfast. The biscuits and gravy are my favorite. The staff is all family and it shows they are so nice and welcoming. read more

I was in Tehachapi traveling for work last week. I like to patronize local businesses while on the road. Honestly the food here was awful and the service wasn't much better. It took a really long time to get my order (it wasn't busy) and the burger was waaay overcooked. Skip this spot. Henry's Cafe & Jake's had MUCH better food and service. read more

My wife and I took my parents out for lunch - this was prly 3 months ago, so sorry for the late review, but everyone was happy with the food, the staff was SUPER nice, and the restaurant is clean and well decorated! We are going back tomorrow (can't wait!) to celebrate both of my parents who are Veterans (so proud!!). See you around 11AM!!! (-: read more

This is by far my FAVORITE place to eat in all of Tehachapi. I dine here every time I'm up here (and I come up here fairly often), and I will tell you that every positive attribute about them has been CONSISTENLY in each and every time. They've been nothing short of outstanding. This is owned and operated by the most wonderful, hard-working family. Salt of the earth. The whole team puts a lot of love and pride in what they do. The servers not only make you feel welcome, but like you're part of the family or community. The kitchen puts out above-par dishes. They also offer discounts and deals for first responders and servicemen and women. read more

Fantastic venue and excellent service and staff. Enjoyed our breakfast so much. So much space there with a lovely ambiance. Quality of food was very very good but sadly their water was just tap water and it tasted vial. Like something was seriously wrong with the water. When I requested a bottle of water or filtered water to purchase they had none. Hoping they can at least provide some water for me next time I go. Thank you. read more

Wow, absolutely the best breakfast place around. The staff was beyond amazing, service, epic, and the food unbelievable. The pricing was insane compared to how much food you get. This is definitely our new favorite breakfast spot. Love love love it. and the best part is, we got to see Santa Claus today. read more

Love this hidden gem. Comfort food and smiling faces. Chicken and waffles for me. Large portions, lots of coffee! read more

My last visit here was not the best. Only one server for the whole place. When we asked for something we didn't get it. He was running around like crazy. The busboy was helping out and we even tried to get him to give us napkins, water etc and he would forget. Food was just ok. Maybe one day I will try it out again. read more

Our church women's group had our Christmas luncheon at J's today. The staff was awesome. We were a party of 20, our glasses were always full. We each had separate tickets and they were taken with a smile and correctly. The food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. If you are looking for a place for your holiday gathering...go to J's. We had lunch, but they have a great breakfast menu too. Some of the best service and food I have had in Tehachapi...especially for a large crowd. They are now located where the old P-Dub's use to be, across from Savannah's. read more

We came here as a party of 9 for breakfast last Sunday. We didn't wait long , even though they were very busy. Everyone really enjoyed their breakfast. It was all very delicious. The country fried Steak I had was the best I've ever eaten. I will order this every single time I eat here . The portions are large and the prices are fair. read more

Found this wonderful place right here on Yelp! Had lunch there, the service was top notch and not to mention the food! I had the grilled chicken salad and hubby had the club ( sorry forgot to take pictures), both were enough for 2 more meals for us. They are in process of moving, told them we would return next time we are in the area to check out new digs. read more

We have lived in Tehachapi for two years. It's been our mission - having lived in Ventura - to try all the restaurants in our new hometown. There have been a lot of negative reviews about our very very favorite breakfast restaurant, J's recently which seem to be politically motivated. Make no mistake: the owners and their family make the food from scratch. The portions are more than generous, food is fresh and the quality is top notch. As an extra added bonus, the staff is friendly and accommodating. We will return again and again AND we love the American flag, country music and all things Americana! read more

Everyone is extremely friendly and make you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in. We enjoyed our meals and will definitely return.

DON'T GO HERE! If you are on a diet, anyway. They serve a LOT of food, and it's good! Service was great, the place was clean (even the bathroom). I didn't really care for my burger because it was cooked with black pepper, and I don't like black pepper, but everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their food and our time there. The onion rings were good. They even know how to cook hash browns! They are actually brown, instead of just being warmed, like most restaurant. read more

Love this place! The food is great and tasty. The waitresses are so friendly, it feels like home there. We will be back for sure! read more

Her food is so tasty and her staff is extremely attentive to all your request. They make the best hamburgers and breakfast ever. Everything we've ordered has been outstanding.

What a great find! Recommended to me by a friend, I stopped by and glad I did. Excellent food and a lot of it too! The service was incredibly friendly and attentive.

First off, it is a little hidden, but OH SO worth finding! The service is great, the set up is small, but very nice and best of all...THE FOOD! OMG, I can't EVEN! I got the veggie omelette and it's HUGE and delicious! The home fries are probably the best I've ever had, for realz. I got the biscuits and gravy instead of toast...one of the best decisions I've ever made in a restaurant! My husband got the pancake platter with ham and man was that ham steak think n juicy! And the pancakes are way bigger than his head by a lot! I can't say enough. Just go. I am SO SORRY I didn't take a pic first! read more

Service is awful and food subpar. Everything microwaved fresh and bland. The smothered steak was clearly out of a frozen meal and the vegetables were cooked so long they turned to Mush. read more

We couldn't wait to get in here! We love the food at the Rosamond location, and we're thrilled they came up to our Lil Mountain Town. We had the bacon breakfast burrito, and it is definitely the tastiest breakfast burrito in town. It had the perfect ratios, and the salsa was very complimentary and not overpowering. Our second visit was lunchtime I had the philly cheesesteak, and it was phenomenal! The service is always fast and friendly. Also, I have to give them a shout-out for having RED Friday Tshirts. We always support businesses that stand with Law Enforcement and our Military. Thank you for coming to Tehachapi, May God bless your business and family. read more
