Let's just say I felt like I was in heaven when I tasted the first bite. Thus sandwich is so perfectly balanced, with the meat and cheese, and the absolutely delicious au juis. I couldn't get enough! I the bread is perfectly crunchy yet soft and subtle, and the cruch helps hold the au juis in so well adding a fusion of flavor from the broth. The sandwich is $20 but I spent almost $40 to travel from inyokern to pick it up...., WELL worth it! Great job! Forgot to mention, it was gone before I hit Jacks Ranch otw home.

So I picked this because they have veggie burger which was what I wanted, and the website was giving me a hard time putting in my order so I had to put in through doordash. 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".

It felt a bit all over the place at first. But the reviews were so strong compared to everything nearby that we decided to try it on our way to Mammoth. When we got there it was pretty quiet, and the owner sat us and took our order himself. He was really friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu and give recommendations. We ended up talking with him quite a bit, and once he explained his background and how his food is influenced by different cultures, the menu started to make a lot more sense. You can tell he really cares about what he's making, and he's very genuine and easy to talk to. We ordered the jerk chicken tacos, the creole pasta, and the soul bird sandwich. I had asked about modifying the sandwich and he mentioned he doesn't really do modifications, which I actually respected. It felt like he really stands behind how each dish is meant to be eaten. The food ended up being really good. The pasta surprised me the most. It looked simple at first, but it was creamy, slightly peppery, and really flavorful without feeling heavy. The beef had a nice char that added a lot. The jerk chicken tacos were also really good, super juicy and flavorful, and everything worked well together. The habanero sauce wasn't very spicy, more on the sweeter side, but it complemented the dish well. There was a small mix-up with my sandwich at first, but he caught it right away, fixed it, and even let us keep the first one. Both versions were good, but the one with pickles had a better balance. The tang really pulled everything together. We ended up finishing everything, which we weren't planning on. Overall, it was just a really good experience. Good food, and a really nice conversation with the owner that made the whole visit feel more personal. We actually wanted to stop by again on our way back, but they were closed. I wish we lived closer because we'd definitely come back. It's a spot that deserves more attention.

You can walk up to the counter to order but it's clear from the two huge screens that you could walk into when you go through the door that they want you to put in your own order. Usually, someone behind the counter will call and hand us our cups for drinks. But once I had to walk over after a few minutes and ask. It didn't go great but eventually I got the two cups. They have a self serve with a nice selection of sodas and teas and lemonade. And there's a great garnish section with pickled jalapenos. There's catsup, salt, pepper, etc. It's an interesting setup for where you sit. There are booths next to the window, and a really nice outside area. In the center, there are 2 top booths, but I really like them. It's easy to get in and out of them. There are longer booths around the corner on the way to the bathroom if you have a larger group. The women's room has always been very clean and well maintained. We usually show up after 1pm for lunch, so you'd think the bathroom would be running out of toilet paper, but no! Really grateful they opened up in Ridgecrest. It's a nice place to take a break.

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.
