Restaurants near Lake Isabella

“Very nice place to get a good dinner. The waitress was polite and kind and the food was really good. My wife got a burger that she really liked, and I got the fish tacos. The fish tacos were huge! I got a side of fries, because usually tacos aren't that big, but I only managed to eat two tacos, and a couple of fries. My kid had the Mac and cheese. I had a bite and it was so good! I'll definitely be back to try their Mac and cheese for adults.”

“I decided to try this place, I usually judge the place by the salsa, napkins and furniture It all passes in my book! Really cool lamps Painted art works and nostalgia surroundings Awesome menu with neighborhood advertisements. I had a really attractive Woman take my order, and my food was delicious!!!”

“Awesome food and staff👍😎🌹”

“Small old-fashioned cafe, friendly service, excellent breakfast. Husband and I both ordered 2 eggs (over-easy), with the hashbrowns and bacon. Eggs were perfect, and the bacon serving was hearty. The coffee was good, but they had half-and-half, no heavy cream. Still definitely recommend.”

“I was in Kernville a couple of weeks ago & purchased a bag of your Mexican Chiapas coffee suggested by the fine folks at the Big Blue Bear. Your coffee is amazing & we are headed back to Kernville next month & I plan to buy several bags!”

“Best food in the valley!!”

“Recomiendo en especial todo el menú , excelente servicio y atención al cliente …”

“The smoked turkey club sandwich is absolutely amazing. They smoke their own meats!”

“Had a great time there. Good band playing. Friendly people, non-judgmental vibe. Would like to see a bigger beer selection, which is true of all bars here. Totally recommend this place though.”

“My normal go to for pizza. Today, not so much. Called at 11:00ish, ordered as usual. Was happy to hear it would be here within the hour. I don’t mind waiting as long as I know what’s up. So, around 12:10, I called to check. Guy said he left 10-15 ago. Around 12:30, he shows up. Pizza is ice cold. Tossed it in the trash. I mentioned what I was told when I called, he got angry called his company liars & me an asshole. Asked me not to order anymore. I agreed, as the pizza marginal at best. Pizza Barn is 10000% better.”

“Its really good but the other day me an my mom went there to grab a snake. I got one of thoes chicken Sandwichs witj the pickels on it..it was the worst sandwichs i have ever had..the sause they put on it did not help it one bit..”

“Coming from Australia had never tried this before and it honestly wasn't bad. It didn't look that appetising but the taste was surprisingly good. Very quiet and food was served literally instantly (unsure if that's a good thing or not), and all the staff were very”

“Love this location and always enjoy talking to the employees. Very friendly and food is always fresh. Planning to get some for Thanksgiving if their open that day”

“First time there.The service was great. Super nice people.The sandwich was delicious to! Definitely go if you feel like a healthy sandwich. It's beautiful up here once you get out of town! Remember the wildlife isn't here to clean up after you. So if you pack it in pack it out. Thank you Cheryl Knox

Vegetarian options: I'm a vegi so I can say lots of things to choose and pack your sandwich full”

“I’m not sure why everyone is having a hard time with this location. The baristas have always been friendly and my orders are correct.

My only issue is that they STILL don’t have order ahead available, so there’s often a long, unnecessary line which makes customers agitated and baristas get flustered. ATTENTION MANAGEMENT: It’s 2025… I think it’s time to add order ahead.”

“There was a guy there with tattoos and a really cool fro that was super nice and had the best customer service skills. Ill be coming back again just cause of him, thanks my guy!”

“I haven’t eaten at a BK in almost two years but I just moved to the valley and I wanted something fast and easy so I figured I’d stop by.

Food was meh and prices were too high, but that’s corporate fast food shrinkflation for you.

What impressed me was the staff. I went through the drive thru last night around 7ish and the woman working was so friendly and nice. She gave me her suggestions for how to order the tacos and it was refreshing to interact with someone who didn’t seem bitter and jaded about her job.

I forgot something in my order and when I went back through about 15 mins later it was a man working the drive thru. He was also super friendly and smiled and really made coming here a good experience.

Overall, I was so shocked. Employees at any business, let alone fast food, just seem to hate their jobs anymore. These two didn’t and it was nice to see not one but two people smiling and friendly.”

“The reviews were right, idk where they find the bartenders but they're wonderful. Kimber was ours, she was polite and super insightful to local news or something like that. She let us know about the power outage and told us to check out the hot springs. She also helped us out with food. They serve burgers 🍔 there now. They smelled amazing and tasted just as good. For reals people stop in & check it out.”

“Always a great stop for yummy treats, great sandwiches, comfy atmosphere and all the coffee you can handle. Smack dab in the middle of Kernville Ca.❤️❤️”

“Great place! friendly atmosphere, and the drinks are cheap!”

“my husband and I have dined there twice recently, our steaks were done to perfection everything was prepared with care, the food was absolutely delicious!”

“Good place to hang out. Food was killer also. Mahalo”

“I would to thank Neal the owner of Ewing’s. What a great experience we had at dinner. The view and whole atmosphere was awesome. Great tasting food and the service was awesome. April and Hailey two great lady’s with awesome personality and attitude to help you and serve you. I would give our experience a 10 out of 10 THANK YOU”

“Always friendly! Love the pizza, salads, and the home made bread!”

“Great place great drinks great people They have awesome karaoke host on Friday and Saturday”

“If you're craving Mexican food in the area, this place should scratch that itch. The interior looks nice and clean, with nice decorations all around. The employees are nice and nice around pretty quickly to serve you. My wife chose a burrito and I had a fajita plate. The fajitas were ok, I wish they could have had a little more flavor. The beans and rice were good, the beans tasted homemade, but the rice was possibly premade. My wife's burrito was really good. It has more flavor than the fajitas, and it was pretty big.

The only real complaint I have was that we ordered an horchata and Jamaica (not on the menu) and they were both clearly from a really bad powder mix. They both tastes really weird, and nothing like they should have. Also, it seems like a cool place to get a drink with friends, but it closes so early!”

“Your treated with a personal touch, the drinks are awesome strong if thats what you like and cheaper than most other places around kernville, best of all Steve is the most sweetest giving bartender in the world, and all the locals know it . If you go through kernville this is a must stop even for just a water and a hello from The hut.”
