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.

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.

I've dined here four times now and have loved every daily soup I've tried--the bouillabaisse in particular is excellent.

We ate a late lunch so we had the place to ourselves. They do have a lunch special but I went ahead and ordered the Philly cheesesteak combo. Waited less than 5 min for my food. While we were waiting the seating area was very clean and plenty of chairs. I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted my fries. There was rosemary on them which I like the taste of. The Philly cheesesteak was ok, the bun instantly split apart when I picked it up but it was good nonetheless.
