My husband and I had an outstanding meal here on Valentine’s Day. The owners Darin and Cat, along with their wonderful staff were very attentive and courteous. We definitely recommend you visit.

I agree with Michael Hebert's review on the blonde woman working the counter. I stopped there to get a drink and some ice cream and she was very short, curt and just plain rude. The place itself is cute and I would have loved to come back with my family to have lunch or dinner, but based on her treatment I would not return. The man working the bar was kind and flashed a huge smile....but she definitely needs to be kinder to patrons.

So glad it's open again. They did a great job of remodeling. But it does seem like more of a yuppie place now. The old people that ran it as TOGS had a lot of character. The new people are really friendly and welcoming. The food was great. I will be back many times.

We absolutely LOVE the Schoolhouse Grill. I really enjoy the tri-tip, hamburgers, and hand cut fries; to tell the truth everything is good! Quality ingredients, and you can't go wrong with their homemade ice cream! We'll be visiting every time we are in town.

My parents live close by so we stop in pretty often. The service is always great. The waitresses are always so sweet. Their hamburgers and fries are great. I haven't tried anything else but my parents love their patty melts. Definitely a nice place to drop in and have lunch along your Sunday drive. Also check out the horse rescue store up the street!

Stopped for breakfast while taking a motorcycle ride through the valley. Charming place with good food. Next time will try lunch. Also bought some Rankin Ranch meat at the tiny grocery store located there.

I had a very good meal tonight. I was disappointed I didn't get any swordfish. But I have to be honest, the Sirloin burger is as good as any steak house steak. There is no need for the bun. According to my Lovely wife's smiles, I'd say she enjoyed herself and her meal as well. Well worth the money!

Had lunch here today, June 14th 2020 with friends. I had the most amazing patty melt ever. My friend got a regular burger and she said it was great. Will be going again on our next trip up. The people are really nice. Service was great and the whole building inside and out is cool

This is such a fun place. An old one room school house turned into a general store/restaurant. The food is awesome and plentiful. They are very accommodating to bicycle riders, and it's a favored destination. Recommend small groups and to call ahead for COVID hours.

This blonde lady is rude and the food was 2 stars at best. Stale buns/bread and when you asked for a glass of milk I was surprised it was poured just over half. Not a full glass like soda & water. We came here for wildfire mitigation work to protect the local community. We were inspecting some areas in Caliente near the restaurant when someone threatened to shoot our work crew. We went to the School House grill to eat and ask to use their WiFi to notify our company and police so that no one else goes into that area. The owner lady(blonde hair)of the restaurant told us she doesn’t give out the WiFi code. (Nearest cell phone reception is 40 mins away) we later speak to other customers outside who let us use their phones and that they had the WiFi code from her. I guess the owner doesn’t like people from out of town similar to the guy that threatened to shoot us. Very poor hospitality, food and service.We did find a great place (Kerri’s Korner) afterwards down the road that OFFERED their WiFi without us even asking and they had great food, great service and VERY hospitable.

The now "Schoolhouse Grill" has been completely remodeled by the new owners and what an awesome job they have done with it. The atmosphere, great food and the friendly staff make this country grill/café a must experience. The outdoor patio is a great addition for those that enjoy an open air setting. Make this authentic old schoolhouse a destination on your next drive through the country and you'll discover a true gem.

Stopped in for lunch. First time here. Have heard good things about the food here. Well, wasn't overly impressed. Honestly, have had a better burger at Carl's Jr. Will try and stop in next time we are up in the area. If it's better, will rewrite my review.

This place is awesome. It was a one room school house in the years gone bye. Now it's a general store and Cafe. The food there is excellent and can match any place in Bakersfield. The owner and head cook Rose can and will whip up almost any food idea you want. The Friday and Saturday night dinners are sold out everytime and you need to get there early or call in your order if you want to eat a great meal.

This place is perfect for the 100 people that live in twin oaks. But you or they better not be handicapped. No wheelchair accessible ramps or parking. Unpaved parking lot. 3 steps up to get onto the place. Then 3 steps down to get to the bathroom.No way to navigate this store without crawling on your hands and knees.People were nice. Was told by a local to only eat pre packaged food. They have gotten sick there. So we did not eat the food.3 stars

For a small town feel this is the place to go. You definitely get that comfortable feeling as long as your personality is willing. The ladies at the cafe are funny and awesome to talk to. There is so much history in this little town. Stop by and take some time to discover some of it. Love the fact that this general store/cafe/post office/scool house has had so much history to it, it's great to go in and hear a little more each time.The food has been great every time i have gone in. So far i have yet to have a disapointing experience. Which i hope i never will. Give it a try yourself and lets hear about your experience.

First time coming here. Waitress was really rude. She was giving attitude. I was asking her about what type of tacos they make and she said "it's a taco". She didn't even ask if we wanted refills or anything else. I was asking her directions and she gave me the wrong directions. She seemed racist because she was being nice to the other customers and was ignoring and being rude to us.
