Banana cream pie
Sandy B.

We were greeted with a smile and cheery hello from Alex. The kind of greeting like you had been away and were coming home. He brought us our menus and we asked about the dessert choices. We settled on a cherry pie à la mode (9/10) and a banana cream pie (10/10) I also had a fresh cup of decaf which had an awesome flavor. It's a nice vintage vibe with fun decor. We will head back for a meal next time. Thanks Alex for winning us over and making our time so enjoyable.

Returning today. Impressed with all the vegetarian/vegan options. I ordered the veggie soup, lots of noodles and potatoes, not so many veggies. Very good flavor though ai would order again. Vegan chili is just ok, kind of sweet, can't tell if this is from a can but kind of tastes like it. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. We had a great visit and can't wait to return. P.s. EAT ALL THE PIE

Food was ok. I ordered the chicken wrap... tasted a little too salty for me. Not sure the sauce they put in it but it was just ok. Wife ordered the grilled chicken burger protein style... super basic. Service was good, a little slow getting food but friendly service. Ambiance was good, felt like I was in an old diner from 1970. Definitely a mountain community diner. Old booths and a lot of memorabilia on the walls. Food -3 Service - 4 Ambiance-2 Total 3

Way over cooked eggs Benedict
Richard F.

I've lived in Tehachapi since 2016 and finally got around to trying this place, I enjoy a good eggs Benedict from time to time so that is what I ordered but the eggs were way overcooked that I couldn't eat it and had to ask for eggs to be cooked softer but when the new eggs came back, they were undercooked! The hollandaise sauce wasn't too bad but in the end I would have rather had the same breakfast at Denny's for better food and a cheaper price. My wife and I will never go back.

Homemade Pie Chocolate
Lauren S.

Visited Kelcy's for the first time, and it was amazing! Just your old fashioned diner which I love. The side salad was honestly one of the best salads I've had in a long time. The little cubed croutons were good and do yourself a favor and get the balsamic dressing! The chocolate cream pie was delicious, I loved the little chocolate chips on it. Sweet and light. The menu had a lot of great versatile things from sandwiches, burgers, soups, salads, fries, chicken baked goods, and homemade potato salad! Nothing gets better than that. The service was fantastic. I didn't get the gal's name but she was the sweetest person ever. She said she was the restaurants "birthday committee". You know who you are, I loved your service and energy. Until next time, Tehachapi.

Overpriced but excellent service and really vintage atmosphere. We got some sandwiches and fries. It tasted fine but just average. We came here because the famous sandwich bakery place across the street was loud and full of customers. We wanted a more relaxed lunch and this was great for that. We were the only guests in the place. I really liked the historic photos everywhere . Nice restroom.

Banana cream pie!!!! Sooooo flipp'n good.

See all

Nice hometown dinner. Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner. The options here are great, with a large…read morevariety to choose from. I LOVE the thick cut fries! 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

Not entirely sure but it looks like it could be the only Indian food restaurant in town. It has two…read moreseparate spaces - the pub and the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, relaxing, and has a fireplace, maintaining a warm atmosphere. We were immediately asked if this was our first time, and then provided some recommendations. Food came fairly quickly - maybe a 15min wait. Server was attentive to the ongoing need for water (that's what happens when ordering the hottest level of spice). Many reviews on here talked about the chicken tikka masala - I agree with the positive comments. It was delicious. The portions are large because I was able to have two full plates and still take a lot home. Just one word of warning: be prepared to suffer if picking the hottest level of spice!

Mine didn't come out with theirs, so it was forgotten. It was busy tonight because not many places were open. We asked about my dish, and she said she would order it and it would take 10-15 minutes. My guys ate their food by the time my dish came. When it was set on the table, it was definitely not what I had in the past. I put one on my plate and it was stuffed with what I later found out from server what it was. She explained I wanted the Chicken Tikki Masala. My guys were already done eating. I said forget it, I was not wanting them to wait another 15 minutes. So I didn't eat tonight. What was brought to me did not look appealing. I waited all day for this meal, It's been a hot minute since we have been here. The guys enjoyed their dishes. My server apologized about the mistake. She was nice, and I'm sure we will return. 12/25/25
