Nice hometown dinner. Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner. The options here are great, with a large variety to choose from. I LOVE the thick cut fries! 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! read more

My friends picked Village Grill for our dinner last night, and when we made the plans, I wasn't hungry and said it doesn't matter where we eat. 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 read more

Food was ok and basic. On the way back to town and stopped. Not same service or food quality as Village Groll in town. read more

Can we just say "huge portions" and unbelievable prices?!? This was our first time here (and came back the next day!) The reason? Our server Tish! When we arrived, she was our person! She was so personable, likeable, and gave us a little tour of the place (it wasn't busy at the time so we got her all to ourselves --it seemed liked it!) Love the feel here, seems so peaceful! Will definitely be back and see her! When you go, please ask for Tish! read more

Village Grill - Tish and us!!! - Three people are standing close together indoors, smiling at the camera. The person in the middle is wearing glasses and a festive Christmas sweater with decorations. The person on the left has dark hair, glasses, and earrings, while the person on the right has short dark hair and is wearing a light gray polo shirt. The background shows a window with a blurred outdoor scene, including trees and a sidewalk. - Diners Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Village Grill - Pozole!!! - A large wooden bowl holds pozole, a Mexican soup made with meat, hominy corn, and vegetables in a red broth. The dish is garnished with lemon wedges and chopped cabbage, with a metal spoon partially submerged. The background shows a light-colored surface and some lemon pieces. The image emphasizes the hearty, flavorful nature of the pozole dish. - Diners Near Me - Tehachapi, California

I'm sure the Tehachapi Mountain Festival challenges many restaurants. There is a large influx of people and we all want to eat. We watched the parade and wandered around Central Park. There were many food vendors, but we wanted to sit inside. We walked over to Village Grill. They were pretty busy, but we go a booth near the front. Our waitress brought our drinks quickly and took our order. TheTriple-Decker sounded good to us. It came with choices of regular or seasoned fries. We went regular. It seemed our food was taking a while when our waitress came by to explain there was a mixup, but the food was on its way. It arrived shortly. This is good, old, diner food. It is tasty and in good portions. The service is very home style too. They are looking to please. A good place to eat. read more

Village Grill doesn't always get the credit it deserves, but since their remodel, it's truly wonderful! The food is consistently hot, fresh, and delicious, and the servers are incredibly personable and kind. It's become a go-to spot for a satisfying meal and great service! read more

I have both pluses and minuses to share about this restaurant. I love that there's a very large parking lot, which is hard to find in this town when you go out to eat, but walk carefully through that parking lot, because there are a lot of places you can trip and fall there, as the concrete is broken in a lot of places. I've only eaten there once so far, but the food was good. I had the French dip sandwich and there was plenty of beef on it, and the bread was fresh and soft like I like it, but the au jus tastes like every other diner's does, like it's a dry mix with water and it's incredibly salty. A lady at the counter was having a bacon and eggs breakfast and that looked pretty good. The interior of the place is kind of dark and dingy and sort of depressing, but I guess some people might call that "homey"; that won't keep me from coming back but normally I order takeout anyway since I don't like to eat alone. I will be back and I'm looking forward to trying their fish and chips. Sorry I forgot to take pictures this time, but I will do so the next time. read more

We came to Tehachapi on Christmas day and this was one of the very few places open. At first, I had my reservations but they were quickly put aside. Everyone here was so friendly and we ended up having lunch and dinner there. I had the hot turkey sandwich and my husband had the club. Both were pretty good. For dinner, I had the steak Christmas special and my husband had the cheeseburger. Both were fine. But mine came with soup and I got the pozole. It was amazing! It tasted just like my grandmother's and this place has been added to my heart. Great pozole, good food and friendly, welcoming people. It was a great Christmas meal and I'm so happy that we stumbled upon it. read more

The food was okay. The service was great and the ambiance is a classic family restaurant. Their menu has a great selection of dishes for anything that you might crave. I got the chicken fried steak and eggs, and the wife got their fried chicken. The coffee is okay and their ice tea is pretty good. Very reasonable prices for what they serve. read more

We are on our way to Death Valley and wanted a real breakfast and that's what we got at the VILLAGE GRILL. It was 9:00 AM on a Thursday and the joint was busy. The menu covers all possibilities and based on the other tables the portions are always large and tasty looking. I enjoyed the cinnamon roll french toast with two eggs and sausage links. Everything was very tasty. My wife enjoyed the Shake omelet. Hers also came with a entree size side of biscuit and gravy which we shared. The VG isn't fancy it is just great comfort food with friendly efficient service. read more

We stopped in here after practice to have dinner, walking in it's very clean, spacious. Very family oriented, many good dinner options & desert options. We all tried something new. Food was very filling, flavorful. And the chocolate cake is amazing. Service here is beyond top notch, our server was Duke & he is on top of his game for sure. Super friendly, uplifting, and very polite, it is quite refreshing to meet someone that enjoys what they do & make people feel happy & in a good mood. read more

Dropped by on my way back to Bakersfield after working in Mojave most of the day. The server was nice and took good care of me keeping my drink refilled and stuff. The mushroom avocado chicken sandwich was alright. The chicken was a bit overcooked and dry and the mushrooms were really overcooked, they were crunchy they had been grilled so long, borderline burnt. Seasoned fries were really good, it was an alright meal. I might drop by if I'm in the area again but I think I'll explore some other new options first. read more

Atmosphere: The Villiage Grill is the picture-perfect small-town diner. There is plenty of outdoor seating. Inside, you'll find a full-length bar and plenty of booths and tables. There isn't anything fancy at the Villiage Grill, but there doesn't need to be. Everyone was spaced out, and the employees were all wearing (fun) masks. Even though I was picking up a to-go order, I felt safe. Coffee: The coffee at the Village Grill was good. One of my favorite features of diners is when they offer the little flavored creamers to add-in. The Village Grill had french vanilla creamers if you wanted them. It was brewed hot and fresh, and I have no complaints. Food: The Village Grill menu has everything you want in a diner. There are the usual breakfast suspects from pancakes and omelets to the fun options like "South of Border" options that included the chile Verde omelet, huevos rancheros, and steak, breakfast enchiladas. I was feeling fun and decided to order the chile Verde omelet. It came with pork Chile Verde, cheese, tortillas, and I chose rice and beans. There was the option of hashbrowns instead of rice and beans or toast instead of a tortilla, but how often do you get those options? The Chile Verde omelet was good, in fact, one of the best diner omelets I've had in a while. There was plenty of pork chile, and the omelet was filling. The rice and beans were great, and the corn tortillas were delicious. There were a few bonus tortilla chips too. I haven't been that satisfied with a diner meal in a while.   Cost: For my Chile Verde omelet and coffee, it was $14. Service: The staff was all friendly, and my food was ready when I got there. Everyone was wearing masks, and I felt comfortable inside. In all, a great experience. Overall Thoughts/Would I Come Back? If you are looking for a small-town diner, I definitely suggest Village Grill in Tehachapi, CA.  You won't find much healthy there, but it's inexpensive and good food. read more

Village Grill - Chile Verde Omelet. Would recommend! - Diners Near Me - Tehachapi, California

This is a small, fairly quiet establishment. There seem to be regulars here, as many customers were hanging out and chatting with the staff members. Service was friendly and timely, and the place appeared clean. There is no kids menu, but there are still kid friendly options. The fried zucchini appetizer was quite good, and my husband had no complaints about his burger. The spaghetti that my kids got was just ok, nothing special. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but of you're in the area it's a decent spot. read more

Love the small town vibes. Signs on the window of all the local stuff happening, seats kind of dating back to the 90's maybe even 80's. The average age was 65urs old. It was fun to hear about the latest drama and people opinions of things while sitting. I ordered the tuna melt. Service was fast, friendly and checked up on us. Sourdough was crisp and crunchy, the tuna inside could have used more mayo. Your option of regular fries or seasoned. I chose seasoned Fries, which were hot and yummy. My wife ordered the sirloin with mushrooms. It was good. Corn bread was 4 out 5. I would recommend serving a a dollop of real butter instead of the fake butter with it. It was a little dry but overall I enjoyed it. read more

Once again we are in Tehachapi, CA, getting fuel. Asked for a good place to eat and the clerk and another customer both said "The Village Grill". It was just down the street, so off we went. What a wonderful find. Smallish, with wonderful service and food. We ordered a ribeye breakfast that came with biscuits n gravy and I got scrambled eggs with ham, tomatoes instead of potatoes and an english muffin. The steak was a tiny bit chewy, but what a wonderful flavor and as you can see there was no skimping on the ham in my scramble. But what we enjoyed most was the wonderful service and all the locals chatting around us. read more

SUMMARY: this restaurant will go down as one of the most memorable ones we've visited not because the food or service was outstanding, but more because it was one of the few that was open on our hellacious 19 hour attempt to get into the So Cal basin on Thanksgiving Day. BACKGROUND Wife has a jewelry show in LA that weekend so we headed down from SF bay to LA. We rushed down to beat the snow but that's to CalTrans f#%*€g ineptitude like every agency run by the state, nary a snow plow or salted road was to be found. We were starving from our already long drive (9hours at that point). FOOD (4/5) I ordered a basic hamburger with fries. It was a hand formed party on the smaller side with really fresh ingredients like the lettuce. The fries could've better but overall it was a 4/5. ATMOSPHERE like a diner that's been around for a long time. No frills. Clean. SERVICE Good enough, friendly waitress. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, SIR While we were dining, an elderly couple sauntered in to a rear booth behind us. As he was aged, his wife assisted him to their table. I noticed that he had a well worn US Navy Veteran WW2 hat on. After a few minutes, the waitress came back from taking their order and we stopped the waitress and asked for their bill. We hope they enjoyed their Thanksgiving lunch :) RETURN VISIT? Highly unlikely as this was a once in a blue moon, random visit. But if we're in Tehachapi, we will go back just for the sake of a good laugh and decent enough food. read more

New Year's Eve, about 5-5:30, place we called that was said to be open til 8pm had already closed. Driving down the street, heading toward the freeway home, we saw the OPEN sign on the door. Circled the block to go past again, a few people inside, ok we'll try. Best decision we could have made and glad the other place was closed! Greeted at the door with a big Welcome and a smile that actually reached the lady's eyes! I am truly sorry, I do not remember the lady's name. Lady was polite, cheerful, funny! Lady took order and when she brought our drinks, she sat a pitcher of Mr Pibb on table, laughing how she would save herself steps and still keep my son's glass full! We all had a good laugh and questioned how she knew my son soooo well! Food was good too! I think that, even if food was just passable, we would still go back, just for the waitress! We go to Tehachapi couple times a month, this is definitely a place we will stop at again! read more

New in town. My biggest disappointment is quality of restaurants in town but this place was a total surprise. Great place for breakfast. Service was excellent, the food came hot, I repeat it came hot. Most restaurants like Jake's and Big Papa's come borderline warm to cold. This place stays on top of their customers and that nice. Expect to pay 12.00 for a good portion of food for breakfast. Can't wait to experience a lunch menu. Stay tune... Big Hoss read more

Went for a drive up to Hart Flat for a visit so we decided to go on in to Tehachapi for lunch. We've been here before but it was many years ago so we thought we'd give it another try because as memory severed us it was pretty good. When we walked in we were promptly greeted and seated by a friendly host in a clean well stocked booth of condiments, gave us menus that also had the daily specials. For lunch time on a Saturday it wasn't very crowded. Our server promptly arrived to take our beverage orders and recite the daily special of Salisbury steak and the soups of vegetable beef and creamy chicken noodle. Upon returning with our drinks she took our orders and three of us ordered the special of the Salisbury steak and my husband ordered the pork chops. We all opted for mashed potatoes and it came with veggies. My husband said his pork chops were good. Our Salisbury steak was too came with you typical dark gravy and it no way looked like a Swanson dinner sometimes they can replicate. Actually the portion size was huge. No one ate all their food and the other couple with us shared their meal. We just have to remember this place because it was some really great diner type food at reasonable price. Clean and friendly service. read more
