Kelley's Cafe

Good food, great service. The young man waiting our table was superb. All the food was good, although not the best. Gravy was very peppery, which isn't my preference, but overall good food. The only dish I personally wouldn't recommend is the chicken fried steak, which could have been much more crisp. Definitely a place I'll go back to.

Stopped here for brunch after my sister's wedding. The staff were very pleasant and quick, easily remembering who's orders were who's even though we were a 8 person party. I was a bit disappointed with the food however. I had heard really good things about them and maybe it was just a bad day, but the food was kind of flavorless and the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy just tasted like straight flour. I almost stepped out to do a rapid test and make sure i didn't have COVID haha! It was a little cramped for a bigger party but for 2 or 3 people it probably wouldn't be too bad. Either way I do think I'll stop there again next time I'm going through Tehachapi to see if it was just a one off on the food bc I've been told by several people how good the food usually is. The kindness and promptness of the staff was definitely a selling point too, really great staff. I'll update my rating next time I eat there.

The best home cooking I have had in 36 states. I'm a construction worker and I work all over the country. I have eaten at a lot of places that advertised home cooking but they seem to fall short. Kelly's really has home cooking. I would say that they have the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had at a restaurant. Reminds me of mom's. Give them a try you won't regret it. The family that owns and operates the place are the best. ENJOY
