    The menu is easy to read and the soups are homemade as well as the breads and cookies
    Lauri L.

    We have driven past the glider airport many times, and each time we say that we need to stop, check out the planes and have a bite to eat. Today we did! The food is simple but my husband and I were both pleased with our breakfasts. The service was very good and friendly. It's a very simple place with wooden tables and a counter to order at, but it's fun to watch the fliers land and take off. Best part: delicious homemade breads!

    Antipasto salad  (split this huge salad with my hubby)!

    Best kept brunch secret in the Tehachapi area! Their food is great! Servers are so sweet!! Please remember to tip!! --- Everything is very fresh and they serve huge portions! Highly recommend getting their chili and also trying out their freshly made apple banana walnut and lemon blueberry breads! Very reasonably priced and beautiful views of the sailplanes gliding in and out of the airport. Plenty of parking and worth getting off the main roads to try this place out!

    Chili was very good, just the right amount of spices.

    Ravens nest is a nice little Cafe attached to the glider port. Serving many food choices like handmade sandwiches, soups and salads. Definitely try the homemade chili with choice of bread which is made daily in house by the guy that took our order and made the food. I will be back again since I am a local resident.

    Very fun to take your kids to where they can see the plane gliders! The chilli was delicious and the boys loved picking out an ice cream. Workers were friendly.

    Cute little place. I highly recommend you come 8n spring or winter as there is NO Air conditioner it is very warm in her today!!! I feel bad for the employees suffering in the heat masked. Terrible! The menu looks pretty good with the largest part being breakfast. I order A salad and half sandwich. I loooove all the airplane history and memorabilia all over the walls. Our order was taken and delivered quickly. Delicious RANCH!!! You know I love my ranch yall. The bread ...mmmmm my veggie sandwich was sooo good! Many goodies made from scratch! The crew here is so nice and this location has so .uch history!!! Fanily owned, here since the 70's! This location screams Tehachapi. Small, home town feel. I can't wait to come back on a cooler day with the family!

    Great little grill at the glider port. Fresh ingredients. Very nice cook and waitress. We had a veggie omelette with fruit salad and homemade banana bread.

    First time checking this place out, and it was such a cozy, enjoyable place. The staff was so friendly and wonderful, the breakfast burrito with fresh fruit, and the French toast were both excellent. And you can't beat the views! There isn't a lot of seating, but they have outside and indoor seating. Will definitely be back!

    The interior is very pleasing and cozy, and the staff is extremely welcoming and kind. My partner and I were greeted with warm smiles and great service. We ordered a sandwich to share as they aren't shy with stacking ingredients in there. We also ordered 2 slices of bread, lemon and banana bread, and we were given an extra piece that was cut from the end of the loaf. Everything was very tasty and I only regret not taking some baked goods for the road.

    While sipping my coffee and eating a delicious omelette...this is the view!

    Folks, this place is a little gem you should take time to experience. Tucked here in the mountains is a lovely family business teaching the world's best pilots the fundamentals of flight. Air Force test pilots, NASA astronauts, and a list of aviation trailblazers you wouldn't believe have come here for glider training. The RV Park and Cafe make the entire operation one-of-a-kind. The food is homemade and served as if you are one of the family. Previous negative reviews do not reflect reality of what I experienced here. Seriously, let's wake up and see one another for the gifts we offer the world. This is one of those special gifts.

I stopped in around 5:30 a.m., and it's refreshing to find a place that's not only open that early but also staffed by someone who genuinely enjoys being there. The barista greeted me with a smile, was friendly and welcoming, and made an outstanding Americano. It was incredibly smooth and one of the better Americanos I've had in a long time. I also appreciated that my drink was served in a real ceramic mug for a dine-in order--a small touch that made the experience feel warm and inviting. As someone who likes to get an early start, I was also happy to find plenty of outlets and reliable Wi-Fi, making it an ideal spot to get some work done before the day begins. Great coffee, genuine hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere made for the perfect start to my morning. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

Use to love this place because of the small town feel & kindness but unfortunately they don't do that anymore:( Came in at 5:30 pm they were already cleaning up & definitely didn't want to serve even though they were open till 6pm. Love supporting small businesses but this will be a last for me .

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

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!

Most of the restaurants I was interested in on YELP were closed on Sunday nights, so we took this reco from a local and ran with it. The restaurant is set back from the street in a little shopping area just off the main street from the first exit going East. It is worth a stop even if you are just driving through town. The service was warm, friendly and attentive. I had heard that the shrimp tacos were good, and I was hungry, so I ordered the dinner. My husband got the Carne Asada dinner. I got a very reasonably priced glass of Chardonnay, which I sipped as I studied the selection of tequilas lined up behind the bar. We were also brought chips and salsa right away. The chips are good, but more like packaged chips than fried chips. I sipped my wine, and enjoyed the ambience of this "local's" restaurant. It is the kind of place that your small office goes to for a celebration lunch, or for casual drinks after work. It has that casual vibe combined with affordable pricing that makes it popular. Our dinners came quickly and we enjoyed the hearty dishes. The food is kind of American-Mexican, as there was tartar sauce on my shrimp tacos. The shrimp were plump and there were plenty of them. My husbands Carne Asada was tender and there was a rolled up cheese enchilada with his meal that was just yummy!! It all tasted good and home-made, and we went away satisfied and refreshed, with lots of take-out leftover!

Loud dice rolling and cursing was not a good place for my kids.

The Chile Verde has shrunk in both size flavor and increased in price. It is simply not the same it is too mild; if you want it more spicy they have an up charge, which is nuts. The tacos were extra greasy and the enchilada sauce was bland. Even the two salsas are literally like nearly tasteless. According to the waiter, the owners like it watered down because they think the community doesn't appreciate spicy foods. This is insane. Tonight, I thought things couldn't get worse, but of course I was wrong as another server, not the waiter brought the meals and literally knocked a full glass of water across the table, soaking me and my partner. Other than bring us extra napkins there was no other comps. The place seemed slower than normal for a Saturday night, so maybe the town is noticing the same thing we are. The bathrooms are disgusting. I hope they fix this stuff because it has really given us pause about even coming back.
