“Newest chicken fried steak review for this place was years ago, time for an update! Glad to say it's still great! The portion was very generous, the breading was crispy, and it's real genuine steak. This feels like a hand breaded steak, properly deep fried. The gravy complimented it well and wasn't too salty or overpowering. Home fries were excellent, as was the biscuit and gravy that came with it. Bonus points for being flexible with that - you can get toast, biscuit & gravy, or pancake as your side!

Service was friendly and attentive, never ran out of drink. They went around pretty regularly offering more coffee, which was reasonably priced. All in all, a great experience and I'm glad I stopped. I just wish I was up here more often for breakfast!”

“Awesome food and staff👍😎🌹”

“The food was awesome atmosphere was great and the service was phenomenal. The portions were very generous. I was super impressed. One of the best club sandwiches I’ve had in a long time.”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“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”

“Funny to read the reviews that are low. This is a busy place because the food is good, the service is excellent, the owners are honest and honorable and the place is CLEAN. Yes, there is a line to order your food and it comes to you hot and delicious. If you are complaining that it is slow, you are probably the same person who complains when the food at other places is bad because it is not made to order with care. Relax, stand in line, order your food and enjoy it. Prices? If you did not notice, everything is far more expensive today than two years ago. If you are going to eat out, you need to pay for the fact someone else is buying the ingredients, preparing, cooking and serving that food to you. Welcome to the new American reality.”

“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.”

“I've had my fair share of good pizza here. I must say, based on the price and what I've gotten, it's been batter than the Pizza Barn and pizza factory.
The last time I got there while they were closing, the dude the young dude with the glasses still took my order. He said the oven still on. I got my extra most bestest pizza with extra cheese. I ate it while it was hot. Best pizza I ever had out here.”

“The service is great! The staff is wonderful and very pleasant!our room was very nice, very romantic, the personal hot tub on the balcony is perfect. Our dinner on top of the hotel was very good, a little pricy but worth it. Best steak and lobster I have ever had!”

“Great place to get a whopper. The staff work very hard. The worst part of my experience was watching customers be disrespectful to the staff. The staff were professionals through it all.
Maybe someday the locals will get over themselves and show some respect.”

“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!”

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

“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.❤️❤️”

“The quality of the ingredients is the reason I go to this restaurant. The beans are authentic, the carne Asada is quality. The salsa is fresh and the tortilla chips are warm. You get a large portion for the money and the best customer service from a family owned business. It has a patio that is dog friendly. Yes, they do have authentic fried ice cream, and if you haven’t tried that, this is the place! Cinco estrellas.”

“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!”

“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.”

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