Tokyo House
This brightly lit, lively restaurant has three distinct options for diners - sit at the sushi bar, get a table and order from the menu of Japanese favorites or take your group to one of several Teppan Yaki grills - seated bars around open grills where highly trained chefs light the grill on fire, fling condiments, aim shrimp at customers' mouths and generally turn cuisine into a circus.
La Fiesta/Sandwiches 'n Things
A family-owned and -operated restaurant offering traditional mexican favorites along with homestyle American favorites. The enclosed patio with misters is a great place to relax with a beer and some nachos on a hot desert evening.
John's Pizza
A great Ridgecrest staple John's Pizza and Fun Factory offer great family dinning at reasonable prices. Enjoy warm homemade breadsticks, pasta, salads, pizza, and much more. Some of the famous dishes include a Peanut Butter Pizza, Turkey Grinder, as well as specialty pizzas which are named after notable figures in the community. A true hometown restaurant everyone can enjoy.
Farris' Diner/Italian Gardens
American diner by day, Italian hideaway by night, this pair of sister restaurants are operated by a local family with decades in the restaurant business. The diner has a simple 1950s theme with traditional breakfasts pancakes, waffles, fruit, eggs, etc. and a range of lunch options sandwiches, hamburgers, chili, tuna-stuffed tomatoes. The Italian Gardens is a softly lit, intimate restaurant with a lounge atmosphere. Italian dishes are ably prepared though you should ask for extra spice unless you like it a little plain. What sets this place apart, however, is its bar - the best selection within 90 miles at least. The food, however, is questionable in value.
Mon Reve
Meaning "My Dream," Mon Reve is the dream come true for a husband-and-wife team of French expatriots. A truly French experience, the owner has been known to give a friendly slap to an uncooth patron and the waitresses are treated like princesses. But with the generally good-natured haughtiness comes a very friendly and sincere desire to serve great food with warm hospitality. French onion soup, quiches, and full French entrees are paired with a solid wine list and an even better beer list.
The Great Wall
The Sarraburin family operate this Thai/Chinese combination restaurant. Noodles, curries, stir-fries and rice dishes are all prepared with skill by the friendly owners and staff. The "express" part is the option to order combination meals from the cafeteria-style selection of several entrees, sides, and appetizers - no waiting!
Junk Food Junction
Sometimes you've just got to make the tough decisions - like whether you want to splurge and have the mozarella sticks with your chili-jalapeno dog and milk shake or just have a nice vegetable side, like fried zucchini or fried mushrooms. When you feel like keeping your tastebuds happy and your cardiologist employed, this friendly Ridgecrest landmark offers all the bad stuff...er, good stuff...you're looking for.
