Unfortunately this was the only coffee shop around. Lattes were 0/5 literally don't know if it's their beans, not knowing how to dial in a shot, or their staffs skill or lack of. They get away with it in a small town I guess.Not spending my money here ever again. I'd prefer making instant coffee with river water at my campsite and it'll taste better-- without the dose of barista attitude from the older woman making drinks.

I had an "interresting" morning....compliments of Cheyl's Diner…read more I am a trained military explosives expert- however " the type of Explosives I am referring to here is NOT a quality ANYONE would hope to have to deal with- and very much warrant an honest YELP review, warning, or an I told you so. 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.

We both enjoyed the steak and lobster, which were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The view overlooking the river was beautiful and made our anniversary dinner even more special. If you're visiting Kernville and looking for a great steakhouse with excellent food, great service, and a beautiful setting, Ewing's is a must. We can't wait to come back on our next trip!

The day we went was surprisingly busy because of course it was their 20th anniversary celebrations and we had no idea! Even with it being incredibly busy things came out quickly! I got to try a peach slushy margarita thingy (I forget the cute name) and that was delicious and refreshing! All the food was delicious and well made! 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! We will be back next time we're in Kernville!

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. And yes, it's family friendly with kiddos. *Our waitress was just too awesome and accommodating*

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.

ATTENTION PILOTS!!! The Kern Valley Airport Cafe is BACK!…read more The new ownership and new cooks are amazing! I flew in this morning and grabbed a delicious breakfast sandwich (eggs, bacon, and cheese on sourdough) on my way to the river to fish for a couple hours. The trail is in good condition and it's just under a mile to the river. No bites today, but you know what they say about a bad day fishing - still better than a good day at work. Headed back to the cafe to grab lunch before flying back to KCMA. I got the co-pilot burger and fries. Definitely plenty of food. The burger is tasty and juicy and the cook adds just the right amount of lettuce, onions, and pickles so you get a perfect bite every time! I know a lot of us stopped flying here when the food and service took a nosedive, but I'm here to say: Airpark Cafe is back! L05 is a great little airport. They have a truck with 100LL. If you want to camp overnight, there is a separate ramp next to the camp sites and they have restrooms with running water! Getting in is easy and right traffic for 17 is as close as you'll get to mountain flying without heading out to Idaho. If you're a student pilot in a slump and just need a fun flight, L05 (Kern Valley) is a great trip. You can even pick up the local weather from your phone on the ground or in the air: https://www.globalair.com/airport/apt.weather.aspx?aptcode=l05 Don't miss this great fly in food destination!
