Restaurants near Lake Isabella

“We stopped in for a quick breakfast this morning, and I had the avocado, bacon and cheese omelette. It’s the best omelette I’ve had in a really really long time was cooked to perfection overly stuffed. I had to bring most of it home. Service was wonderful. Food was wonderful. Definitely will be back.”

“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!”

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

“Great food!!! Fun place to chill and have a few drinks!”

“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”

“Everyone's super helpful here. I get the food out fast and easy. No matter which side you're on. And the owners of super friendly. Even will get you your favorite beer.”

“I wanna give a shout out. The best sandwich I ever had at this subway sandwich at this location. I love this subway inside and out is also a liquor store also, there's a Wiener sitsel.
I highly recommend.It's clean family business.”

“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.”

“My son has celiac a couple weeks ago we came here to eat, the lady helping us at the cash register knew about the cross contamination and how to prepare his food. She talked to her coworkers, explained everything to them, double checked and made our eating out experience pleasant.. I really appreciate you thank you for being on top of your game and being supportive, you dont understand how much that means to us. Thank you everyone so much.

“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!”

“the burgers are awesome, sweet potato fries the bomb potato salad is amazing great service great place to eat!”

“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!”

“Always a good stop on our fishing tour. Steve gives great service, very cold beers and good fishing spots to try ! What else do you want from a local spot? Steve rocks! See ya soon! Cris and Regina”
