Airpark Cafe

What a nice little airport cafe. We flew in and camped at the airport campground. It's a short walk to the cafe from the campground ($20/ngt).There's both inside and patio seating. The staff works their butts off to serve customers. I wouldn't say they're the most experienced though, as there were a few little hiccups, but they were hustling.I tried a breakfast burrito. It wasn't as good as I was imagining, but it did the trick. Prices seemed a little high but maybe that's just the new norm. No objections to eating here again...especially because I hear the burgers are really good.

I don't recommend the biscuits and gravy, not the same. Looks like the small can of biscuits you pop in the oven. Very small portion. Not the same. Miss the guy who use to cook, always taste homemade with good tasting gravy.

Enjoyed a Saturday morning breakfast at this little cafe. Inside it's a cozy room with 5 tables inside for dining (and a few tables on the patio) in view of the tiny kitchen area. The place was full of diners and there was one cook knocking out all of the dishes. What a rockstar! I know that's not an easy job, but he seemed calm and efficient. It's understandable that there is a little bit of a wait for the food, but there is plenty to look at! Lots of aviation books/magazines, airplanes outside, etc.I judge a cafe based on their eggs & bacon; my overeasy eggs were great, bacon was thick and crispy. The home style potatoes were fried perfectly with lots of bell peppers and onions. Their sourdough was tasty and buttery.My husband got the sausage omelette that was huge and stuffed with chopped sausage patties and cheese.Overall, it was a nice experience. The manager was very friendly and attentive.We paid around $30 for our big breakfast plates, a coffee and an iced tea. I took home quite a bit of leftovers.I will come back to try their burgers!

This place is never open when they say it is. We have gone during their posted hours and found them closed at least 4 times. Disappointing

We had a great breakfast at this underrated, peaceful, and friendly cafe next to the airfield. They have a covered deck for outdoor dining. I had the breakfast burrito and it was filling and tasty. Reasonably priced. Will be back.

Just had a perfect Pilot burger with the works! The pulled pork was good too. Gorgeous weather so we opted for outdoors on the deck, watching the planes come and go. Rustic and pleasant. Courteous cooks and servers. And fresh Decaf !

Flew in with a friend for lunch. We called ahead for opening hours and the lady running the cafe that day gave us some info on local weather and, later, a wind check on our way across Lake Isabella.Food was OK - standard short order fare. Excuse me if I don't praise it as highly as others but it's not why you should visit. Apart from the challenge of the journey here, the view from the deck is beautiful when the sun is out, with the runway out front and the river and mountains behind.The cafe has a few tables inside too; in winter perhaps next to the iron stove is the best place to be. On the weekday we visited it was a one person show, with Shawn taking orders, doing the cooking and cleaning, and chatting about local history and events.They have a crew car but it's a bit sick at the moment. However, if you ask there might be some bicycles to borrow for free, and if they have time and you're not an ass one of the locals will probably drive you the few miles to Kernville. Have been back; will be back.

Bottom line: would I come back? Sure. Decent food. Decent prices. As someone else mentioned, the portion size for the side order of onion rings is too small. There are only 6 medium sized rings in an order. It was also odd that there were no refills on soft drinks. I'm told it's because they are served from cans and not a fountain machine. Just not the norm

You wouldn't know it to look at it.....but one of the best burgers I e ever had! Dog friendly, nice staff. Highly recommend it!

I found the airport to be a pleasant experience. The two person staff were very friendly. Jazzy is a star even if she has only been there a week. I didn't get the cook's name but she made me feel welcome as soon as I parked where she was taking a break outside. It was fairly warm and for those that complain about flies you always have the indoor option. It's very clean and cool in there too. My party of three had the standard breakfasts. The hashed browns O'brien style had just enough crispiness and the bacon was tasty. It's a charming spot and was the best breakfast I had in the Kern River Valley among the four I tried. The others followed in this order, Nelda's in Lake Isabella, Cheryl's and The Cracked Egg in Kernville.
