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.

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.

But fear not, my land-loving carnivores -- their burgers are legit too. The drinks? On point. I'm convinced they put magic (and possibly happiness) in their margaritas -- best in town, hands down. The vibe? Laid-back, spacious, and beachy enough that you'll forget the nearest coastline is hundreds of miles away. Close your eyes and you might just hear seagulls... or maybe that's just me after round two of margaritas. In short -- great food, great drinks, great vibes. If you leave here unhappy, you probably ordered water.

Also because they have clean bathrooms available, and of course, the tasty burgers, fries, onion rings, and other burger joint favorites. The menu is not cheap, but most things are pretty good including the avocado bacon cheeseburger and the onion rings. They also have really good shakes and malts. It's basically a classic old-school burger joint but everything tastes good because not many places make things like that anymore. Service is usually pretty quick. The decor is classic diner and they've got a few interesting things on the walls. Overall a five star roadtrip stop.

Turns out walking over to the counter to order in-person is quicker than waiting for the customer in front of you to finish ordering at the self-order kiosk. - I just wish the cashier was available sooner/more. - lol tried to order online on the drive there to save time, but service out there so spotty. By the time I reached the checkout page on my phone, it said 25min wait, and I had already physically arrived at the restaurant. Quicker to just order in-person lmao. . Decent amount of indoor seating, but quite crowded. It's a desert out there, and this burger joint seems a popular stop. + First restaurant I've seen with a hand-washing sink within the dining area.

Rumor said that they had done some renovation to what was the old Victoria's Restaurant, but we encountered the same Paris courtyard motif that was the "trademark" of the old restaurant. We were greeted with a "sit wherever you want" by someone wearing a white t-shirt and paint spattered jeans. The menu was presented to us and it certainly was not impressive in style, with its typos and sentences that just ended incompletely (the cordon bleu apparently is "breaded with a creamy"). Our waitress, Diane, took our orders promptly, but the salad that comes with dinner took about 10 minutes to make it to our table; we were the only diners. I had the shrimp scampi, while my husband ordered the ribeye steak, medium rare. His steak came medium to medium well and the toast that came with my scampi was burned on one side and untouched on the other side. The scampi came with 5 plump shrimp, tails intact. Since it was served in a high sided dish, cutting off the tails was a challenge. The sauce on the scampi was tasty, though the lemon flavor was a surprise, hovering at the edge of being almost too much lemon. No dessert was offered, so I don't know if they have any at this time. The menu is close to what is being offered at Ale's, which is in the same parking lot, so the Fireside is going to have to work hard to make themselves special in some way. Diane handled our concerns professionally and she was the best part of our evening. It would be good to have the staff wear something to differentiate them from the customers, as we had no idea who were actually working and who were just friends sitting around. We'll be giving the Fireside another try in a couple of weeks to see if they've worked out some of the kinks. :) All in all, I think they have a HUGE battle ahead if they want to stay afloat and not lose their hotel guests to Ale's and to attract non-hotel clientele. Brainstorming a way to make them special will go a long way in achieving that goal.

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.

So, they gave me a 5:55pm pick up time, I got there at 5:42 and my food was already cold...I still ate it though ‍. As for the restaurant itself, I was only there long enough to pick up my food, and the building looked old and it seemed dark inside, but it seemed clean enough, so...it was really just the definition of "fine".
