Restaurants in Ridgecrest

“This is an "Old School" family diner. If your a local, you'll probably see at least one person you know while you're there. And the food and service are great!”

“We took the kids out for family night. Everyone loved Ven's! The ambiance was super chill. Everyone was so attentive and kind. The food was delicious 🥰

I had the Cajun Chicken Tacos which were marked mild spicy. I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy, but they were so good. My husband had the chicken platter with cabbage-again, so good!!! The kids all had burgers. They didnt leave a single bite. We were in a debate and pretty much all agreed They have the best fries. The kids had to try desert of course. The cheesecake is addicting! The peach cobbler melts in your mouth.

We definitely made a pact to go back at least once a month for family night. Thank you for great service and experience. 🔥🔥”

“My wife and I ate here while visiting Ridgecrest, and we were very impressed. The location is small, but don't let that fool you—the food is excellent. Everything we ordered was very good.\n\nOne critical thing to know before you go: They are CASH ONLY. There is no ATM on-site, so you need to make sure you come prepared or you'll have to leave to find money.\n\nAs for the meal, the portion sizes were perfect—not too much, just enough to leave satisfied without feeling overstuffed. We would definitely eat here again the next time we are in town. Highly recommended!”

“I’m a big fan of Desert Brew! Their coffee is my favorite, and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. The owners are usually around too, which is great if you ever have questions. I even grab their beans to make at home. It’s a cute, cozy spot with a little outdoor seating area—perfect for hanging out.”

“I love coming here because they always know my order and they’re always also friendly. I can’t even decide who is my favorite but Jimmy and Britney definitely make my day. You guys all rock!”

“Very nice workers! I went and had a very great experience ! And now I’m HOOKED ! #dutchbrosridgecrest”

“went there on opening weekend. the flavors were good. I was happy that they kept most of the nut toppings together, and more or less separate from everything else. the lines were long but they went fast. the customer service was great as well!! The bowls were big enough to share with someone on a little ice cream date. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Knocks it out of the park everytime we eat there. food is so good, with dinner tonight we ordered a side of breaded zucchini and they were amazing.”

“Nice place to get lunch on base. Limited menu, but sufficient when you are from out of town and only there for a couple of days. Much better than leaving base.”

“Our go to for Mexican food even above sit in dining restaurants the carne asada fries and nachos and the chile relleno plate are amazing and the price is budget friendly the staff is always accommodating friendly and welcoming keeps us going back we eat here frequently would recommend a try if ya haven't already you won't be disappointed you can dine in or drive thru or call in And pick up like we do only thing keeping me from giving it more stars is it only allows 5 but I'd say 10 the only recommendation I would have would be add pico de Gallo to the menu I really am not a fan of their PKG hot sauce (thru offer red or green)

Parking: Small parking lot under 50 spaces but seems adequate hassle free

Kid-friendliness: They offer a kids menu and the portions are great for price simple too”

“Good Customer Service Love There Food 🥘”

“I went through on my way to work this morning, and got a frozen blended strawberry lemonade. when they gave me my drink it had a very sweet message written on the top. It's the little things that can make or break somebody's day, for me, they made my day!”

“Great food. It's not a fancy place but clean, well established, local favorite. I had the pozole soup which wasn't on the menu. By far, the most loaded up pozole soup with a side of diced onions, cilantro, 2 slices of fresh avocado, a side of pork grinds (that's a new pozole side for me), lemon. The pork was not fatty but 100% tender and lots of it. You have a choice of red or white broth if which I got the red sauce. Fantastic!

I will certainly come back.”

“Don’t let the China Express part of the name fool you! It’s is definitely Chinese/Thai Cuisine! Delicious food! Great service! Definitely going back! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽”

“Food is always great but on two occasions I have placed order and when I arrive to pick up they have no idea what im talking about. Blame it on a printer , then quickly get it put together last minute.”

“China Lake is the site of the weird and wonderful and strange weapons tests and developments. It is not known for its food. This golf course Cafe is an exception to the rule. The food is as good as any as you'd find on a top tier golf course, and for the engineer needing a break from his analysis it's a culinary oasis.”

“I want to give a Big Shout Out to Karen at Baskins Robbins for the birthday cake it was a huge hit at the party!!!!!!! Vicky Genola”

“So delicious. Great costumer service. 10 outa 10 !!!!”

“Taco Bell is pretty much the same as in flavor. The young lady at the drive thru this evening at around 11:30 pm was very nice & pleasant. She had a wonderful smile & was very helpful & nice. Late night only the drive thru is open. So no dine in or take out. Store looks good. Nice, clean and neat. Good food for the most part too. More so at 2 am when the bars close.”

“The bartender was awesome and friendly. He was busy. Keeping the other tables clean and picking up other glasses. The bar area was clean too. I enjoyed it!

Parking: My friend loved the fried pickle spears. ?”

“Love the original menu and bread sticks are amazing”

“The cold subs are great. The hot subs are ight. My orders usually are ready at the scheduled time. Overall, the food is good. The hot sub really bring the rating down a star.”

“This is easily one of the best Wendy’s I’ve visited! The facility was spotlessly clean, and the service was top-notch. I even met the manager, Shawn, who was super nice, he greeted us the moment we walked in and personally checked in to ask how our meal was.

The food was fresh and delicious: the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and juicy, the fries were nice and crunchy, and the Oreo Frosty hit the spot! They also have an excellent soda machine with so many different flavor options. Highly recommend this location for the friendly atmosphere and great food!”

“Great service great food! bar tender was great made great drinks.”

“The Chicken Parmesan was absolutely outstanding — a perfect balance of crispiness, tenderness, and rich flavor that made every bite unforgettable. The chicken breast was pounded thin, lightly breaded, and fried to a beautiful golden brown, locking in all the natural juices while creating a satisfying crunch. When topped with the warm, savory marinara sauce, it became a masterpiece of taste and texture. The sauce itself was bursting with fresh tomato flavor, seasoned just right with garlic, basil, and oregano. Then came the melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese — gooey, creamy, and slightly tangy — creating a luscious blanket that tied everything together. Each forkful delivered that irresistible mix of crispy edges, melted cheese, and flavorful sauce that made it impossible to stop eating. Served over a bed of spaghetti, every bite soaked up the extra sauce, making the meal hearty and comforting from start to finish. The aroma alone was enough to make anyone’s mouth water — that perfect blend of fried chicken, herbs, and melted cheese filling the air. It tasted like something straight from a cozy Italian kitchen, made with care and love. The Chicken Parmesan wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience — comforting, satisfying, and truly delicious. Also the onion rings are delicious as well.”

“DART had an amazing experience eating there today for lunch!😃 10/10 would recommend!❤️”

“Ernesto and Alex. Clutch peeps. Alex has some great customer service, but Ernesto has that old school class. Can't beat it. Thanks for some great sandwiches.”

“I freaking love this place they always have good deals on the app like literally always and they never mess up my order and the food is good so it's like bam bam bam!”

“Well I've never actually been inside of the place. I go drive thru, I always do online orders and I have to say, I am in love. I am a very picky eater, and the fact I actually do not have to customize ANYTHING on it makes me so happy. And it's so good too, always freshly made. The char burger, I feel like they made this place for me. 😂😂😂 I am joking, but it's literally right down the road from me too.”

“We stopped in here to take a break from our long drive home. \n\nIt took a while to get our food, but it was understandable because the place was packed.\n\nMy double cheeseburger was superb! The meat had a great crispy char, while still staying juicy.\n\nMy wife was quite pleased with her Moons Over My Hammy breakfast sandwich.\n\nWe got back on the road fully sated.”
