Stopped by for a bite to eat. Was there over 10 years ago and remember it was very good. Was very dissapointed. Food was average no longer the great place to eat it used to be. I did find out it was under new management. Hopefully they will improve. Might try again.

Wow, after a great day rafting and fishing on the river, this was a fabulous meal. Extremely friendly service too. We really had a good time here. Make sure you eat dinner here at least once. Best place in this small town.

We got a sort of "give it a shot" recommendation for this place, so we honestly weren't expecting much. Thankfully, we were pleasantly surprised. It was dark, so the view wasn't anything to influence us and the decor is very dated, but our server was extremely friendly and efficient. We both had the New York steak and it was fantastic....

Went for dinner... porbably closer to 3.5 stars first off, the views are incredible. You sit right atop the river and look out over it and the mountains. The food was kinda average. We had some calamari to start... it was battered and cooked fine , but a little lacking on the flavor. Wife had the grilled chicken, which she... More

We went to Ewings on advice of Virginia from B&B Kern River Inn The owner, Leon, asked us where we're from; When he heard that we came from Belgium, he went to a friend who also came to eat, to inform him that he just gave his table to us because he has only driven 15 miles to visit him...... More

Sitting by the window looking down at the panoramic view of the Kern River, and eating one of the best steaks ever - priceless! Oh, yes, the martinis were good too!

This is the happening place in Kernville, with live music weekly, drinks and great food. Steaks and potatoes, salad and fish are all on the menu. Window seats are perched on the cliff edge overlooking the Kern River (way) below make sunset a special time for dinner reservations. Great date place, especially for guys in Bako wanting to really impress... More
