We went to Ewings about 8:30 on a Friday night, and though the kitchen closed at 9 pm, we were…read moreseated immediately, and not rushed to order or finish one bit, which I really appreciated. The host, Jeff, was so cordial and relaxed, he made us feel as though we'd been friends for some time. April waited on my wife and I flawlessly. She was extremely prepared and knowledgeable about the food, all the daily menu items, and the beer and wine list as well. The jalapeno poppers were an excellent twist on the same old "deep fried with goat cheese" that's been around for years. These peppers were sliced, loaded, then baked, much like potato skins, and were an excellent appetizer. Perfect amount of "heat". We both ordered the chicken breast and ribeye combo with an assortment of sides, and it was really, really a great plate. Prepared well, served well, and portions so large, we each took leftovers home. Wonderfully seasoned and prepared meats, and all the sides were very good as well. If you're fortunate enough to land on a night when the soup du jour is split pea with ham, do not pass on this. One of the best pea soups we'd ever had. A+ on the meal, the quality of the food, the staff and service, and the beautiful view from our table at the window, overlooking the Kern River at sunset. The background music that included The Tesky Brothers, and Marcus King was a nice bonus. Loved our dinner.

My boyfriend and I were camping in Kennedy Meadows the night before when we realized we did not…read moreprepare for 20 degree weather. So we drove down and randomly saw this place and decided to have dinner. We ended up speaking with the owner. We asked about lodging and he told us he did not have anything available. He came back to ask us how we're doing and we asked if there was other lodging close by. He said they would most likely be booked. We told him about the night before and how we were very unprepared for cold weather. In front of him I told my boyfriend that we can sleep in the truck again, no worries. Next thing I know the owner came by again and said he has a camper for friends and family that no one is in and he offered it to us, saying he felt bad that we froze. We were elated. I have never felt more grateful and it reminded me that there really are kind souls. He walked us over and provided us towels and turned the heat up. It was perfect. We sat by the fire pit with others, who all had nothing but kind words about this place. People come every year and stay here. I felt such a warm welcome from everyone. My boyfriend and I are so thankful for the owners. We both said we can't wait to come here more and hopefully decades down the road we can stay in the same camper and reminisce. I will tell everyone about this place. It's nothing fancy but it's definitely special! Thank you for making my entire weekend.

Good food but not the service!…read more I came here few time because that's my mom in law's favorite place to dine in. My husband and I drove from LA to take her and her husband for birthday dinner. Here is my positive and negative review based on our experience when we were there. Positive: Food cook perfectly as we asked for. We have 12oz and 8oz fillet mignon, 2 orders rib eyes steak for mom and her husband, large suchini appetizer. Pickle is delicious, you can ask as much as you want for free, good bread. The owner stop by at our table, my mom gave him compliment about the website video he done such a great one, so my mind automatically expect great service. Neg: My mom has reservation at 6PM, we arrived 5 mins b4 6, they didn't have or can't find my mom reservation. Waiting a bit then get our table at the last room due to a large parties were at the patio and crowded and noisy which no big deal for us, we can see the big parties from our window room. It took an hour for our steak, salad served with a warm bowl, suchini too dry to eat. By the time the steak ready, we are half full with bread, salad, pickle and appetizer. 5 minute after the waitress brought the food to us, my mom asked a box to go, my husband ate not even half of his steak, I can't finish my meal either. We are so full end up to bring our food home. The waitress take too long to bring our bill and we still waited again for our debit card back then walk to look the waitress at the bar ask our card. The whole experience is not my expectation with the money we spent we should get better service, also few flies and mosquito flying around on our food. I hope they consider to improve the service better in future

Yes,That bad. A skimpy ration of what they put between the rye toast and the disgusting over pricing - I gladly welcome vs. the "effects" of it on the human body. The rudeness, teribble service, and ignorance of the owner, and staff there goes right along with the effects of what happens afterwards. I would appreciate it if I were issued a T- shirt reading " I survived Cheryl's Diner" to serve as fair warning to those who are not aware. I believe in supporting the "Mom & Pop" establishments in our communities, but I would have to bet that "Pop" suffered and exited - after dining in this place. This would be a perfect target for Chef Gordon Ramsey to visit. Can't imagine the horror he'd find in the walk in freezer. Needless to say, If given the choice- I would choose military MRE's over this futile attempt of actually considering this place a " Diner". The loud gossip between the waitresses should have been enough of an indicator to leave. The results of the effects on the human body after eating there though, will assure that I will NEVER return. Actually, I feel it's only fair to warn others of the results of this poor choice. I would seriously consider beginning a "fast" to going through all that again. I'd love to admit I am exaggerating- were that the case. If they have " negative" grades on rating the "cuissine"- This place is a banner reason why. I can only offer my appology to my date, and fair warning to any who consider eating there. I would go onto the lack of cleanliness of the restrooms- but I am truly ready to simply let the memory of the place fade, and become an automatic warning to avoid it at all costs in the foreseeable future. If I had to sum it up on one word, I rekon "Disgusting" would do.

This is clearly a popular local spot, as seen by the regular customers greeting one another, but it also offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for tourists. There were no issues with ordering or the food. Portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable to fair, especially considering its remote location. Service was prompt, with no major delays. The bathroom is for one customer at a time, but it was surprisingly clean. I would definitely come here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area or passing through.
