Fourth of July weekend we decided to head up to the cabin for some cooler weather. One important…read morestop before we head to the cabin was a quick visit to James store. Kernville was wall-to-wall people everyone enjoying the Mountains, sunshine, Kern, river, and America's 250th birthday. James store was busy as might be expected on the big holiday weekend. I headed to the meat department too many choices. I decided on 2 habanero and 2 black pepper chicken kebabs to barbecue and a 6 pack of carnation drumsticks for dessert. The store looked great decorated and fully stocked they were ready for 4 July holiday. Shelly my cashier was super, all check stands were open very little waiting. Our barbecued kebabs Saturday night were delicious seasoned perfect and the marinade just right. The drumsticks hit the spot as well. Happy birthday America

On the way home we hit this place for lunch. Good food and service even when they were slammed…read more We walked in, all 12 of us and politely waited in line as two employees attempted to take and prep all our orders. It was a younger looking girl at the register who didn't seem alarmed by the immediate rush of people who added to the already semi-long line. A couple times she shouted that she was "sorry for the wait" and that there was "only two of them". I immediately thought "oh no". Our group arrived before breakfast cutoff time but since we were in line so long it was well past the cutoff by the time we could order breakfast. Some were bummed but found alternatives. I went with a bacon burger and onion rings. Both were very good with the onion rings were excellent. The shakes looked good but I wasn't adventurous enough to try some before our long drive home. The place was clean, even the bathroom. I was very impressed with the work ethic of the two employees. Kudos to the owner or hiring manager.

Ahh kernville! Such a beautiful place to spend the summer with your crew. The beautiful Kern river…read moreholds so many adventures. Fishing is so peaceful! We love spending the day fishing and chilling. Our normal fishing spot finally opened up near lunchtime. We had been waiting since 5 am and now that we had gotten it, all of us did not want to give up our spot so we opted to pick something up and eat it on the river. Usually while in Kernville we hit up another spot, BUT that place literally gave 5 out of the 6 of us explosive diarrhea. We always see how packed Mcnally's outpost is , and one of our party members said the original one was good. We arrived and were greeted immediately. The service is phenomenal , they are so polite and helpful. They even remembered to give me the soda when the food was ready. That is where the positives end. The prices are exorbitant!!! My god. 25$ for a burger, that does not come with fries or a drink. I got a double bird chicken sandwich , my wife got a double smash and a drink and my friends got a bacon cheeseburger. It was 100$! One. Hundred. Dollars. US. Jesus. Christ. Now, for the price, I was really hoping the food would be killer. It was not. My shredded chicken was dry , and smothered in a funky tasting BBQ sauce. My wife is typically not one to complain but even she disliked her burger. My buddy didn't even eat his. There is no way local people are coming to eat here. It must be all the tourists tubing and fishing or camping for the weekend hoping for a good burger and leaving sad, with a much lighter wallet. Fries were solid! Everyone in the group did enjoy those. An additional positive note, this kernville restaurant didn't give the group the hershey squirts so that is also a plus.

The staff is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The store has everything you could need--from camping and fishing supplies to snacks, drinks, and groceries--and the deli is outstanding. The tri-tip is incredible, and everything tastes fresh and homemade. It's the perfect stop whether you're grabbing breakfast before a day on the river or picking up supplies for your trip. The small-town atmosphere and excellent customer service make this place a true local gem. I can't recommend it enough! Riverkern General Store and Deli is an absolute must-visit when you're in the Kern River area.

TRI TIP!!! We stayed across the street at the Sequoia Lodge, and in the morning you can see them start the smoker and that sweet smell... Their little restaurant is phenomenal. The various hot sauces are a great touch, but the service and smiles that come with it are the cherry on top. Anything with tri-tip, but especially the breakfast burrito and their French toast (no tri tip, lol) are to die for.

My daughter got addicted to this place on a recent camping trip…read more It all started when my daughter went shopping during the day while most of our group was out risking our lives white water rafting. When we came back I could see something had changed in her. Instantly she starts to tell the group about this coffee spot she found. She started mumbling something about going back. It was her wide open eyes when she spoke that threw up the most curiosity. We agreed to have their coffee the next morning. She was bummed out and continued to bring up that place several more times that night. The next morning we sent a few from our group to go and get coffee for our large group. When they returned my daughter was thrilled. We all tried our different coffees and sampled some of the others and none of them tasted bad, even the caramel one was ok. That's right caramel is not a tasty drink, I said it. I drove by the place and it looked nice and clean but I never stepped in or encountered any employees. I just really enjoyed the coffees I tried but thank goodness I didn't get addicted like my poor daughter.

We also tried the quiche, almond croissant and blueberry lemon scone. (It wasn't all for me ). They were all delicious but that's not why I left this review. We had been to just about every store in this town and it would appear no one likes living here. I don't blame them. The ladies at this place all had such a great attitude, were happy and smiling and that made the experience so much better. I would definitely recommend eating here. 10/10!!!! Thank you for having such a positive attitude!!

My husband really enjoyed the burger and commented how much he liked the meat mix. The server was a delight, and all around it was a good choice to stop by!

I also got the watermelon lemonade and it was so delicious! I took my breakfast to the back and it had a nice little seating area with a pretty cool view. It made my morning! After backpacking sequoia we went back and ordered even more sandwiches because it was that good! 100/10 definitely would recommend and I will be coming back if I ever go to sequoia again!

As the years went on I was a little wary of giving them that recommendation since it's been so long since I've been there...but good to know it's still just as amazing 8 years later. They have updated the interiors and there is plenty of seating both inside and outside the sandwich shop. We opted to sit outside so that we could see the river (even though it was 90+ degrees...but in the shade it was a cool 85 degrees) Gourmet Green 5/5 turkey, creamy almond cilantro jalapeno spread (not spicy to me) kind of reminded me of the green goddess sauce, red onion, roasted red pepper, havarti and spinach. Everything just worked beautifully and it basically felt like eating a salad. Blue Cheese Potato Salad 4/5 I wanted this to be more blue cheesy, but it was still pretty tasty. Though when my bf tasted this, he said it was really blue cheesey so maybe I just want it to be way more intense tasting. So glad that this place is still here and that they still are super delicious :)
