I wrote a terrible review a couple weeks ago. I was…read morecontacted by the owner who asked me what happened, I explained and he made it right. I'm happy to say I just went and ate there again, and the meal was fantastic. 5 stars. Sometimes in the kitchen things happen and I believe my bad meal was a fluke, I was careful to order this one over the phone and pick it up at the window so the employees wouldn't see me. It was a great meal so I am updating my review to 5 stars. My compliments to the staff and cooks and especially the owner for a job well done.

The greek salad was good. I personally was not impressed with flavor of the shawarma chicken. My co-workers got other items and they were happy with what they got.

Amazing. Met the owner and he was delightful…read more Service was top-notch. The food was spectacular and authentic French Provençal (and every other style). I'm a snob about French cooking (I lived in Châteuaroux, 200km south of Paris in the countryside for 2 years). Very little I've EVER eaten outside of there was been this amazing. And none better. Pure perfection. Ridgecrest is lucky to have this gem. It's like a small country cafe inside: comfortable.

After 11 hours straight on the road, I was looking for a blue-collar place to get a balanced meal…read more Ale's steakhouse was the one I chose. No previous experience with this place, but lots of experience with Ridgecrest-NWC China Lake. I have been coming here since 1979. Yeah, damn long time. Back in those days, we would all go out to Inyokern for a great meal at Indian Wells Lodge. It was a little bit of a drive out of town, but well worth it. This time I knew I would be too tired to do that, but next time, for sure. So, what has changed in Ridgecest over the past 44 years? Not much, except more escapees from the LA Metro area. Same dusty, wind blown, hot as hell location in the high desert. Same salt of the earth residents and former military families just trying to survive. That is the attraction of this area. Plenty of No-BS people, unlike the cesspool of LA and Orange Counties. Refreshing to spend time around these unpretentious folks. You can see the meal in the pics. Jealous? You should be. I topped it off with a Margarita for dessert. Angelberto was my server, and he was welcomed by many other regulars tonight. Eat your hearts out, people. I studied all the meals that went past me to other tables. Lots of happy people and good-looking meals

First let me say that the options in Ridgecrest are limited. You aren't going to find the best…read moreMexican food in the world here, but the Mexican restaurants are a better bet on average. 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.
