Locale Farm to Table Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (862) • $$

"Everything we had was so flavorful, unique and very creative with the plating! The indoor eating was a bit too noisy, so we ate outside. This will be an issue come summer unless they build a more enclosed patio and have misters."

The Planing Mill Artisan Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.7 (783) • $$

"Pizza & Beer is a brilliant combination we have all enjoyed for years. Planning Mill Pizza is truly one of the best in town. We chose this venue to host a family celebration. They have two party rooms to pick from, one larger than the other. I was disappointed with the responsiveness of the representative in charge of securing the room. It did cause unwanted stress when trying to ensure everything was in order and ready to go. The day of the event arrived, there was no one to greet us or show us to the party room. This was not a good sign, we had to hunt down help before we were finally shown our room. Unfortunately, the room was not set up and we were left to set up all of the chairs as they were just stacked in the corner. There was limited time before guests were scheduled to arrive. We had to hustle to make sure everything was set up. This could have been avoided if they had set up the room before we arrived. All in all, the food was great and made up for the lack of hospitality. I would have given it an additional star but my overall experience lacked. Especially when we paid a pretty big penny to have our event hosted at this venue."

"We came in for a cocktail about an hour before closing. Carrie was our Mixologist who made us the delicious Lavender Lemon drop Martinis this evening. If you haven't had one they are a must try. The ambience is Industrial Loungy. Great date night establishment or to meet up with friends."

Old River Grill - Riverlakes Plaza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (376) • $$

""A sandwich for Lunch", yes it should be the title. Great, clean ambiance when I had a late lunch at this restaurant. I ordered their pastrami and bacon sandwich with fries and jalapeño pepper popper on the side. To my surprised, it was delicious and tasty. Oh I had a great time munching it slowly. I finished the plate. Waitress are attentive and all of them are asking me if I need anything as I sat alone in their bar. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for breakfast, lunch sandwiches and pancakes. I have to try eating breakfast with them next time."

Sassy Bird

★★★★☆ 3.7 (459) • $$

"Stumbled on this place a couple of years ago, and I always stop here if I'm in the area. The staff here is friendly, always, and today we got greeted and helped by the owner. Anthony is very friendly and welcoming and made us feel right at home. Anthony didn't hesitate to recommend fan favorites, he took our order and repeated it to make sure it was accurate. Food took a bit of time, and it was worth the wait. The chicken tender was hot fresh out the fryer, and the sassy Mac bowls were on point. The place was packed and lots of takeout orders, everyone came and left with a big smile. We sat outside, enjoyed our food on the benches, and people watched as the sidewalk was busy.All in all I recommend this place for the friendly service, the good food, and the overall value for the portion."

Fire Island Grill

"Good food, fast service and it's always clean when I go. The bathrooms are also clean."

Salad Sensations

★★★★★ 4.7 (251) • $$

"This was such a great find! It's can be hard to find healthy options with tasty ingredients but this fills that void. I love creating my own salad- the variety of veggies and toppings is great. Everything looks and tastes fresh. The salad dressings are also yummy. I'm also a big fan of the Caesar salad wrap, it's quickly become my favorite lunch when I need something filling but delicious.I've ordered delivery as well as visited in person a few times and always get quick and on point service. Highly recommend!"

Mt Whitney Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3 (534) • $$

"I've been to Mount Whitney Restaurant twice now and both times were lackluster at best... This time around it was after a two night backpacking trip to summit Mount Whitney. We stopped for lunch on a Sunday post-summit and enjoyed watching football while relaxing, talking about our adventure, and eating our food - once it came out. Our waitress appeared more interested in also watching football than tending to tables but oh well, it is what it is. What left a worse taste in my mouth was when I ordered a root beer float and she responded with disgust. She then apologized and informed us she went to a party (something about a wedding?) the night before... not my problem. You're at work now, should have acted like it. Food was alright. Atmosphere was the best part. Go Bills."

The Pickled Deli - Visalia

★★★★★ 4.6 (219) • $

"Despite my dislike of pickles, I was willing to overlook the name of this deli and pick up our sandwiches from here for our picnic in Sequoia. I much prefer to support local chains rather and generally prefer the quality of them too. This spot was a great choice! My turkey sandwich was loaded with meat and all the other toppings I love were fresh. I love that they offered black olives. The only thing that could have made it better was if there was a variety of mustards available. For instance, I prefer a deli or spicy mustard to plain yellow but there's at least only one option listed on the online order form."

Grill Masters BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.5 (355) • $$

"Absolutely the best barbecue in Clovis. The way they smoke their meats and season them are outstanding. I would recommend them for catering too."

Mandys Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (255) • $$

"We were craving Brunch so this cafe popped up on Google. Once we got here, we were greeted and seated right away. The staff is very friendly. The decorations are so cute too. The food was really good and so was the coffee. We got the mimosa flight and it was really worth it. They were so good. I'd say this is a place you do have to come check out at least once."

Grapewood Grill

★★★★★ 4.8 (186) • $$

"This place should be packed from open to close. The fact that they don't have a larger place is beyond me. When you go, don't judge the place by the looks. The food speaks for itself and it speaks wonders. The guys in there are genuine people who actually care about the food. Good job you guys."

The Workz

★★★★☆ 3.5 (322) • $

"I came here with my family and let me tell you the food does not disappoint. I came twice actually for dinner and for breakfast but on 2 different occasions. The service was good as well, they provide you with a number and they bring the food and pick up the food for you. It's a nice place to come and eat with the family. It can get a bit busy. Shout out to Oscar Hidalgo he was the cashier who helped us out very patient and was pur server as well very polite. Will I come again definitely!!!!! maybe next time by myself, my family is too expensive, lol JK . Will bring them"

The Original City Sandwich

★★★★☆ 4.2 (196) • $$

"The ingredients are always fresh. I love that they use shredded cabbage instead of lettuce. Always a great sandwich and great service!"

Greenhouse Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (263) • $$

"Service was good, I have no complaints about it at all. She even slipped me an extra cookie at the end of the meal. The place is clean with plenty of seating. I came in here to write a review because the Cajun chicken sandwich might've been one of the best sandwiches I've ever had and I walked away wanting another one."

Sub Machine

"It's so difficult to find all amazing sandwich. This is one of the free places I recommend."

Caesar's Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (182) • $

"Cesar's Deli has been my go to lately when it comes to catering! I will say the food is absolutely tasty and prices are great! The Penne pasta with the Alfredo sauce has been one of the top hits for sure! Whenever I've arrived with that pasta in hand you can literally smell the deliciousness as soon as I walk in. In the last two weeks I've ordered from here about 3 times and every office always asked where the food was from before I left because they enjoyed it so much. The sandwich platters are huge, and feed much more then you would think especially when paired with pasta. The cookie tray is also so good! So don't skip out on dessert if you're ordering from the catering menu. So worth it! The staff is also super great, and always provide serving spoons and help me carry out my order!"

Granny's Country Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (158) • $$

"Enjoyed my breakfast here at Granny's Country Cafe. The service was not very attentive but the delicious food made up for it. I loved the creaminess of thier gravy and the biscuits were flaky and wonderful. They also had a great verity of other breakfast and diner type items on the menu. I plan to visit again soon."

Ale's Steakhouse & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (194) • $$

"After 11 hours straight on the road, I was looking for a blue-collar place to get a balanced meal. Ale's steakhouse was the one I chose. No previous experience with this place, but lots of experience with Ridgecrest-NWC China Lake. I have been coming here since 1979. Yeah, damn long time.Back in those days, we would all go out to Inyokern for a great meal at Indian Wells Lodge. It was a little bit of a drive out of town, but well worth it. This time I knew I would be too tired to do that, but next time, for sure.So, what has changed in Ridgecest over the past 44 years? Not much, except more escapees from the LA Metro area. Same dusty, wind blown, hot as hell location in the high desert. Same salt of the earth residents and former military families just trying to survive. That is the attraction of this area. Plenty of No-BS people, unlike the cesspool of LA and Orange Counties. Refreshing to spend time around these unpretentious folks.You can see the meal in the pics. Jealous? You should be. I topped it off with a Margarita for dessert. Angelberto was my server, and he was welcomed by many other regulars tonight.Eat your hearts out, people. I studied all the meals that went past me to other tables. Lots of happy people and good-looking meals"

West Coast Sourdough

★★★★☆ 4 (159) • $$

"After a number of visits to this eatery, I continue to be totally impressed. I mean totally!!! (Now does that sound like a "Valley" girl, or what?) Yes, friendly smiles, service, and terrific food. Fast, reliable quality and quantity, unlike their competitor whose name reminds one of a "submarine!" And one other biggie for all "eatery" goers...that is clean, spotlessly clean facilities that are up-to-date, well stocked and looked after on a regular basis. WOW! Way to go West Coast Sourdough!!!! The hits just keep on coming...and by that I mean GREAT music, too...a little something for everyone!!"

Tin Cup Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (136) • $$

"Very skimpy on portions. Loaded biscuits and gravy should be swimming with gravy. Loaded is supposed to have biscuit, hash brown, bacon bits and egg. I paid for an extra egg. Did not get the egg or the hash brown. I do not eat the biscuit so you can imagine how crappy breakfast was. Upside down macchiato extra hot. Barely 3/4 full. Was shocked at how light the cup was. Trying to support local business, but the quality has to be worth the extra money."

Urbane Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (110) • $$

"I love all of the healthy choices at Urbane Cafe! My favorite dish is the salmon bowl, but they also offer other options, such as sandwiches, salads, and soups. The cilantro torta and southwest are two of my sandwich go-to's. My son loves their cookies and flavored lemonades. The kids' menu has plenty of great options that kids will actually eat!The staff at this location is amazing. They are always very friendly and helpful."

Zorba's Charbroiled Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (166) • $

"Reviews looked good so we decided to give it a try. Not impressed at all, food lacked flavor, zucchini was over breaded and hard and extremely over priced for what you get. Not repeating."

Burger Shack

★★★★☆ 4 (132) • $

"Burger Shack is just a solid spot for old fashioned thin, tasty, fresh burgers. I always choose the double (even though I can't eat it all) because it's all about the ratio for me. I love the pastrami burger (like a LOT) but my go-to is my "Texan Style" dbl with jalapeños, all the way, mustard only, well done to get a crispy outside - they're never dry, by the way, Burger Shack has that on lock. It hits all the right tangy, spicy cheesy notes, every time. (They're "the good jalapeños," by the way, that just-right ballpark nacho type.)Their shakes are great if you're being extra extravagant, and even though the fried mushrooms and fried zucchini are sysco or equivalent, they're so tasty with the excellent ranch that they're hard to pass up!"

Dervo’s Deli and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (119) • $$

"Not only do they make an amazing sandwich, but they have Dutch crunch bread! This place is located directly across the street from Fresno State and luckily I got here just as the lunch rush was starting around 11am. I went with a cold Italian sandwich for lunch and an order of beer batters fries. This sandwich comes with pastrami, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese. I got it with the works; onions, peppers, lettuce, oil vinegar, the whole 9 yards. You can tell they put care into their products because everything on this sandwich tasted super fresh. I went with the 8-inch and probably would've been fine with the 6-inch since I also ordered a side of fries. The portions here do not disappoint. We all know it really makes a sandwich is the bread and their Dutch crunch bread was fantastic. Also called Tiger Bread, the spread is super soft on the inside with a nice crunchy top. They make it by brushing a paste of rice flour, sugar, water, and yeast over the bread partway through rising process in the oven. If you see this on the menu anywhere, order it, trust me it's a flavor and textural explosion.You can dine in, get your order to go, or order through their website for delivery or curbside. The inside is pretty basic with a few tables and a small TV in the corner. Perfect if you're looking to get off your feet and fill your tummy. Parking is tight and like I said, I got here right before the lunch rush which had the line almost going out the door. Snack smart Central Valley Yelpers!"

Krush

★★★★☆ 3.6 (161) • $$$

"This is my top go to spot when I want a great meal and great entertainment. the staff is very attentive and quick to keep your glass full. The ambiance is romantic and quite special. This is a great place for a first date or anytime. They bring in top entertainment on occasion and this is cool because it is quite inanimate and you feel like a VIP."

Scramblez Palmdale

★★★★☆ 3.9 (136) • $$

"Every Sunday we use to go to Scramblez after church. Always friendly service.Then covid hit and we stopped going.Recently while my husband and I went on vacation the kids (adults) door dashed from here and raved about how good the food was but expensive. Brings us to today.We call in an order and a lovely gentleman picks up, I believe his name was Jim.We ordered Chorizo and eggs, hash browns and pancakes, French toast and I order the California Eggs Benedict. We took our time to get there and the courteous gentleman called to confirm we placed our order at the correct location because there's 2 places in the AV. That was so nice of him to call us and tell us our order was ready too.We head on in and it's clean and smells delicious. We're greeted by Jim who goes over our order and our total was something like $49.00 plus we gave them a $10.00 tip. Now the food,The California Eggs Benedict was delicious! It sat there a while because we don't live to close but the flavor of the hollandaise sauce soaked into the bread (English muffin) the egg was perfect topped with bacon and avocado. It came with home style potatoes but I gave those to the kids. My daughter had the French toast and she said it was the best she's ever had. The butter was so good and it came with hash browns. My son had the chorizo and he said this place is the only one to ever get it right. Just like he likes it! Can't wait to go back! I took a pic of the daily specials."

Primo Burgers No 7

★★★★☆ 3.5 (152) • $

"I like primo burgers get them all the time. But they need to check their cooks. I order 4 specials and the meat was not cooked all the way and the fries where under cooked also ask for season on the fries he said yeah to my face but did not add it. I wanna keep coming back but they need to have a meeting about quality and integrity"

Luna Cafe & Bistro

★★★★★ 4.5 (78) • $$

"Absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent! We were driving through Bakersfield and looking for a lunch spot that wasn't a chain or fast food. Came across Luna and decided to try it. So glad we did! We had the ceviche, the fish fillet, and the shrimp sandwich. All were fresh, well-seasoned and well-prepared. I know they're relatively new so I wish them well. If they keep with the same food and service quality they should continue to find success :)"
