The Long Way to Las Vegas - BBQ at the Red House

Home to Tehachapi, CA

Sunday, May 11, 2025

It was finally time to hit the road and after doing our final packing and taking care of a few things around the house, we were on the road by 11:00.  As usual when we head southwest, we made the short drive to Tehachapi for our first night.

An overview map of our road trip.

It was a pretty easy drive, and we got to Tehachapi just after 2:00.  We decided to eat early as we didn’t have any lunch before we left so we were hungry.  One of the main reasons why we stay in Tehachapi is the Red House BBQ so that’s where we were headed.  It was Mother’s Day, and the Red House was pretty busy even though it was the middle of the afternoon, but luckily there was one table available for us.  The ribs were good as ever and we really enjoyed our meal; we hadn’t eaten BBQ ribs since we returned from New Mexico last fall.

Val caught me eating my first rib, not very flattering, but the rib was delicious.  Along with my ribs I had cornbread, mac & cheese and red slaw, an excellent meal.

There were a few new things on the menu we hadn’t noticed before and one of them was fry bread.  Frybread with powdered sugar and cinnamon is one of our favorite treats when we visit the southwest, so we decided to get an order to go and enjoy our dessert later.  It was a smart thing to do as it was delicious, and we will probably have it again on our next visit.

We were both tired tonight, so we spent the rest of the evening relaxing.  Tomorrow we’ll head to the Eastern Sierras.
