  Delicious burgers but $11.50 for very small margaritas that have little booze in them crosses the hog line. Ask the price b4 u buy a drink. $42.89 before tip was pricey for lunch and 2 drinks! And we were hurried along because lunch time was almost over.

  Of the five at our table all comments were excellent.  The small sirloin was the BEST I HAVE EVER EATEN !!  The restaurant was full on the evening we visited but the server (whom I later was told was the owner) was perfect.  Most restaurants in the area do not open early in the week off season.  During our four stay visit SIERRA was the highlight.

  The food is great, but it is often quite busy. What really makes this place great though is the waitress, Joy. Best I have ever seen. She handles herself very impressively even alone on the worst of nights. Just as a bartender, she would have been busy, but she was managing the whole front end.
  Between my family and I, we have covered most of the menu, and have never had a thing to complain about; everything is excellent.

  I spent the weekend in Weldon and saw a good review on yahoo for this place. Although I was skeptical about finding a good steak in the middle of nowhere, I decided to give it a try. I am glad that I did. We went there twice in the same weekend both times with exceptional results.
  
  The dining room has a rustic atmosphere and is very small. The log tables and chairs were dressed with speckled camping plates and the flatware was wrapped in different colored bandannas. The walls were adorned with pictures of horses, antler light fixtures and other "country" decorations. Oh I can't forget the life size cut out of John Wayne.  It completes the look lol. There is a small bar in the restaurant. I believe it's the only full bar in town. I would imagine it probably fills up fast on the weekend.
  
  Since this place is small I would make a reservation, if possible, to avoid either waiting or eating on the patio (we went on a windy weekend). I wouldn't want gritty food or have to worry about my plate blowing away. We arrived relatively early so we were promptly seated and the wait staff was attentive and friendly.
  
  My little foodies in training ordered kids meals One ordered with french fries, which are fried in the same oil that they fry shrimp in, so if you don't like your fries tasting like fried shrimp avoid them at all costs! That's why this place only received 4 stars..I LOVE french fries!! Shrimp flavored fries....YUCKY!  The other one ordered the clam chowder against my advice. We are the "if it's in the sea it's not for me" kind of people. The waitress noticed that he didn't eat the soup and gave him fries instead. Which was extremely nice especially considering I never mentioned anything about it. Great service is always a plus!
  
  I ordered the small top sirloin with a baked potato and a salad. The salad was a pretty decent size and the dressing was good. My steak was cooked medium rare. It was delicious...really tender, juicy and flavorful! The potato was nothing to write home about, but then again it's rare to find a plain baked potato that is.
  
  We returned two days later and I ordered the lighter meal which consists of a smaller portion of protein, a side of seasonal veggies and a side salad. I ordered the sirloin and it was just as succulent as the first time! It was the same size too which made it even better. The seasonal veggies was a mixture of broccoli carrots and squash. It was awesome! The veggies were fresh, not frozen and perfectly crisp tender. Most places overcook veggies to the point where they're just mushy, gross and inedible. I did have to add a small pat of butter and salt and pepper as they were not seasoned but that's fine with me as long as they are cooked right
  
  All in all I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling in the area. It's worth the 11 mile drive from the town of Lake Isabella.
