Johnny McNally's Fairview Lodge- Restaurant, Kernville CA

Best margaritas on the mountain.great food and across the bridge a nice hike trail along river.great little store and hotel and hamburger stand.kid friendly swimming under bridge behind the restaurant. Fairview camp ground best camping sites and great when river is lower to tube down to bridge from camp site. Family and kid friendly.not a lot of rowdy campers party all night. That's gold ledge camp ground if you want a party camp.definitely a must see and visit.

Everytime I go to Kern I always stop by because it is definitely the best place to eat here!

Best food, people and atmosphere there is! Great bands, drinks and rooms.what else do you need?

This is our new favorite place! We had to come back to back from Father's Day to a following Birthday, as there was no comparison!
Their steaks are absolutely cooked to perfection. Everything is fresh and so good! Their Mud Pie is out of this world! They have a good cocktail menu.
The tables on the patio are right above the water with cute string lights. Stay after and explore the river, bridge and trails!
The service and family friendliness is superb! Everyone works together to make sure you're having the best service. It's also dog friendly on the patio.

We have yet to stay in the lodge, but hopefully soon!

They aren't wrong about having world famous burgers. After 2 nights of camping at a nearby campground, having a McNally's burger was everything I hoped it would be.

This place is beautiful and the food and drinks were great. The steak was amazing and the staff were all kind. We were grieving a loss and they were super supportive while still giving excellent service.

Great food, pretty good service. Try the Fairview Special, it's steak and shrimp (although I am bummed that the price recently increased $10). Not to be confused with the McNally's burger stand (on the same property), you won't find a burger on this menu.

We stopped for dinner and had a great steak everyone was really nice service was great location was great.

Ordered the 24 oz porterhouse and pardner plate (basically sides for another person so we can share the steak). Very delicious! Hospitable and friendly staff. Will return. Right off the Kern River (literally). A fun little bridge to walk across and we were able to see the Kern River moving wildly right after the rains.
There is no cell phone reception out here. They do have wifi, though.

I was 17 years young i was working here as a meat runner. With a close friend named Randy Boone There's really nice moon light here. While driving back home at night we turned off or headlights and drive by the awesome moonlight it's super.

So this place specialty is STEAKS and they serve a dam good steak! Food was great also the jalapeños poppers were excellent with the relish dipping sauce. We were told about this place because we met there Bartender in Kernville her name is (Bri) hope I spelled it right. Bri is a awesome Bartender and she makes you feel like a local because she is so nice and friendly. Hope to see you next year Bri!

Super thankful to have a restaurant and atmosphere to share good moments with some of my best friends family. I always love bringing new people here and seeing their face get amazed.

It was probably just a bad night for this place but I did not enjoy the food or atmosphere.
