    Eggs Benedict, hash browns
    Sarah G.

    The service is great. The food is just average. The ambiance is clean, updated, and inviting. This is basically Kristy's (on China Lake Blvd) with updated interior. Food tastes exactly the same. The real disappointment during this meal was the eggs Benedict-- one of the eggs was severely overcooked, which defeats the purpose of even ordering this dish. I think a chef, or even a cook, should know this. Everything is overpriced, but especially the slice of banana cream pie at $7.95. Things I liked: the garlic toast, the busser did a great job, the bill was dropped on our table, and when I put my debit card on the bill, the busser kindly took it up to the register and rang me up. I didn't have to get up to pay my bill, which I really appreciate.

    Taco salad
    Iveria L.

    The best taco salad in state! They can make vegetarian option. Service is always fast and friendly! Great place for bigger gatherings too.

    Grilled Ortega Beef Sandwich
    Tiffany W.

    I've been here 4 times. I enjoyed the food each time. I really like their enchilada sauce. My most recent trip was a few days ago, I got the Ortega Beef Sandwich and it was really good, beef was juicy and plenty of ortega pepper. The sourdough bread had a little more grease than I like but I know a lot of people like their sandwiches heavily buttered. The interior is a bit older but they have plenty of tables and room. It is often seat yourself. One time I had pretty poor service(mostly just ignored and food took forever) but the most recent time I went, we had really good service. My friends and colleagues had ordered tea and coffee and servers checked regularly if they needed top offs. Our waters were kept full. One thing that really stood out to me is that my friend didn't like her dish, the fish and chips, but she really doesn't like complaining about anything. The waitress noticed she had barely touched her plate and immediately tried to make it right. I thought that was really thoughtful that the waitress was perceptive enough to tell she didn't like her meal but that she didn't want to complain and still worked to make it right. So that was pretty exceptional customer service.

    Not much choice for fine dining in Ridgecrest but Friday prime rib at Lugo's was a pleasant surprise, reasonable price and good service

    Breakfast is pretty good here. Service is good. I enjoy the Chocolate Chip pancakes. The only downside is that this is a cash only business.

    The diner was definitely better than I expected and we will return! The Pancakes were really good,…read moreand was the Veggie omelet. However, the Homemade Cinnamon Roll was just okay. The gentleman who took our orders was nice and very patient! The ambiance was nothing special-typical diner. The toilets could use good cleaning, too, but the bathrooms were generally okay. We stopped here on our way to Mammoth from San Diego, and we would return!

    It's a country diner, with booth seating and 50s oldies playing softly in the background…read more We were seated promptly and drink order taken right away. Coffee has free refills. I had the Country Benedict, which is a sausage patty and an egg on top of a biscuit and covered with gravy, served with hash browns. The egg was over easy, and the yolk, when broken, blended deliciously with the gravy. The hash browns were crisp and fresh - very good. The biscuit was buttered, which was a pleasant surprise. They pay attention to small details like that here. Mr. P enjoyed his burger, which came with fresh onions, tomato and lettuce on a specialty bun. The burger was smashed, yet very juicy. His fries were golden brown crisp and cut thick. He liked them a lot. This was easily the best diner breakfast I've had in a long while. Looking forward to stopping in again when I'm nearby in the future. I am full and happy.

    Ale’s Crab House - Pastrami Burger

    We ate here and at Ale's steakhouse across town and they are very similar to me in terms of value,…read morethough they do differ. First, the good. It's nice that there is a restaurant in town with fresh fish. Our server was awesome. We were going to a tiki themed place (which you should 100% try to find if you are in town) afterwards and the server shared some cool info about it when we mentioned it. I ordered fish and chips, against my better judgement, and it was just OK. I'm a fan of beer batter that builds up more than a thin crust on the fish, and this wasn't that. On top of that, the cod was a little over cooked (a bit of a theme for the other Ale's as well). That said, the flavor profile was good and their tartar sauce was on point. I had the option for seasoned fries or steak fries and opted for the steak fries to save some sodium intake. I'd probably shorten my life slightly and get the seasoned fries next time. My wife had a salad that was very similar to the other Ale's -- lots of iceberg lettuce and overcooked chicken. We also had the clam chowder, which had a good consistency but was just a touch fishy. I still enjoyed it, though. They have a pretty good selection of beer and other drinks, as well. The decor is informal and overall I liked the place. Between the two Ale's I'd probably give a slight nod to the original, but they are very similar restaurants other than the focus on seafood here.

    Stopping on my way to Anaheim and Ale's came up as one of the highest rated places. It was…read moredefinitely decent. Just gotta drop a star because our waitress was a bit short and irritable, and the food was really nothing crazy amazing. Ended up having the shrimp and lobster fries appetizer which was pretty yummy, the shrimp on it is the best part. Even the kids loved the fries and ended up also splitting a chicken sandwich that was pretty basic, but cooked well and had a tasty bun. Wife and I split a pastrami burger, and gotta say the pastrami was really good, that was a great choice. It had a bunch of creamy cheese sauce on it as well and was gone in seconds. Ambiance was fine, place was really clean, and service was SUPER QUICK. One critique is when we asked for extra plates to split out food, the waitress told us they were out of plates because they used them all on the party that was in there. This was at max a party of 10, and the restaurant had to only have 10 more people in it total. Kinda weird to be out of plates at 20% capacity... she did end up getting us additional "trays" to use. Totally fine, just a bit odd. All in all, if you need some quick grub, stop in here on your way through. Price was pretty fair, 2 burgers, and an appetizer with ice teas for $50. Decent.
