The salad are also one of my favorites because as you know, im a ranch snob. The ranch here is fantastic! Don't let the old town vibe/appearance fool you... this place is always cleaned up when I visit. Did you say pie? Ya they have that too! Service can sometimes be a little slow, but your in a small town. So sit back, take your time, and enjoy! Breakfast is a staple here and the pancakes are so yummy! Today im having salad and fries. So good!! My friend had the beef dip and it was also delicious. Definitely try!

They enjoy eating here and usually have no problem. It took a good 20 minutes before our server took our drink order, and even longer to take our dinner order. We all three ordered because I changed my mind and decided I wanted a club sandwich, I also ordered a salad and so did my friend. We never got them until our meal arrived, and even then one was forgotten. When one of my friends received her order it was the wrong one. She ordered a chicken sandwich, not a burger. The burger that did come was burnt; luckily that is not what she ordered. We had to ask for refills as our server was walking by. She never once came to our table to see if we were doing OK. My friend said this was definitely an off night for this place. 12/23/25

The morning of 28 March 2026 I went to Kelcy's Restaurant in Tehachapi with one goal in mind --…read moreTheir medium rare New York steak for breakfast! Mind you, I live 2.5-hours away in western Ventura County, but I'm ALWAYS up for an old fashioned country-style breakfast! Just like the ones from my youth -- meaning, NO AVOCADO!! lol It's GOTTA be some combination of a good portion of red meat protein which will either be a pork chop or steak, SOS, runny eggs (typical for sunny-side up), and either manhole-sized flapjacks, Texas toast-sized French toast, or a HUGE waffle. In lieu of the carbs, I had their SOS simply because I haven't had one in a while. I'll let you know right now, Kelcy's did NOT disappoint this retired veteran!! The steak was BEAUTIFUL and TASTY!! The eggs were PERFECT!! And, their biscuits and gravy was INCREDIBLY mouth-watering!! I should've asked, so I'll have to do it next time, but I can almost guarantee the Cook's a Veteran, too, because this meal brought me back to my NCO days of the 1980s and 90s!! This morning Tonya was my Server and she was INCREDIBLE!! It's obvious she's been a Server for a while, because she knew EXACTLY when to swing by to see how I'm doing, she kept my water glass and coffee mug full, and, in overhearing several conversations she had, she was as sweet as can be! Quite honestly, with all the Sirs and Ma'ams being said, I was back to being in the flyover states, southern states, and our beloved northern states (namely, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming) all over again! Not to mention all of the United States' small towns JUST like Tehachapi; and, I loved it! Having owned a small bistro before and having worked in food services in the military, I can appreciate what Owners go through. Their dedication to their business is obvious as soon as the food is served! And, the Owner(s) of Kelcy's know EXACTLY what they're doing!! From the ambience -- that down home feeling, being greeted when I walked in and the "Thank you!" and "Have a good day!" -- told me their Folks were well trained, well taken care of and appreciated, to hearing the Kitchen Staff banter was VERY nice to see, feel, and hear. But, once the food's served, that actually completes the picture for me; meaning, Kelcy's Owners don't shy from the good stuff!! Kelcy's food quality was AWESOME!! So, I'm DEFINITELY telling my Family and Friends about Kelcy's and will DEFINITELY come back for more!

She comes back and says "sit anywhere " no greeting and no smile. We sit in a booth and wait. And wait. Finally she brings us menus and says "what do you want to drink" no smile and not very welcoming. She brings our drinks and takes our order. Same non friendly attitude. A family comes in (about 6 or 7) and she has the same exact attitude. They sit behind us and we can hear them discussing the waitress's attitude. The mom asks her what's up or something and she says "I've been here since 12:30 and I'm tired" Food was decent. Tasted home cooked. Portions were ok. Prices were reasonable. We may come back again when passing through. Someone should teach this young lady how to be courteous, friendly and welcoming. It seems like such a nice, old school place but she was such a turn off for our first time visit.

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.

I've never had meat that tastes like this did. Then the lettuce was bright yellow. To be honest the best thing on the burger was the purple onion, and I HATE onion. Milk shake was super watery and bland. It taste like when someone tried to make a milk shake at home for the first time and blends ice cubes and milk with no sugar and thinks it's the same. It's not.... I literally took 3 drinks and thew the rest in the trash. The last photo is of what I threw away. I hate throwing away food but I couldn't bear to eat this stuff it was that bad. I had no idea how this place has any good reviews at all. This was hands down the worst meal I've had so far in life. Please save your money and stomach. Go to a gas station and you'll find better tasting food! Walking up I thought "hey this place seems a little rough around the edges they probably have great food!" As most small places that look like this do. I saw the water damaged windows, clacks in the walls and had hoped to find a jem but in fact found a turn. Not even a polled gold one just rotten and disgusting. The restroom was disgustingly filthy, had black marks all over it, I had to pee and ended up using my own hand sanitizer when I left because I didn't even want to touch the sink. There was black all over the sink, toilet was stained, all the devices covered in black marks. I'll never come back and warn you to do the same. I'm really sad to write this but I need to be honest. I hope they get some things fixed and learn how to treat customers one day.
