We got here when there was no wait to get seated. With in 10 min we placed our order but had to wait 47 to get our order. I’m not sure if this is the norm but with a 2 year old it was like pulling teeth. I tried to stay optimistic telling myself they still could redeem themselves if the food is good. My wife had the chicken and waffle. The waffle was ok, it was a little on the dry side. The chicken to batter ratio was a little off. It had more batter than chicken, a little dry but the flavor was there. I got my son the french toast. It was a little tough for him to eat but he will eat anything with syrup. I got the cinnamon roll pancake breakfast. I’m a big guy and I couldn’t finish them, probably the best cinnamon pancake I ever had. There are good and bad at this place. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. You can eat out doors or in. It feels like a mix of a old dinner mixed with modern. What got me was the wait after ordering….Kid or not it was a little long. Sitting with a 2 year old that long is crazy. I will come back to check out what else they have to offer but I’m not in a rush to get back. For the three of us we spent $59.

The food was amazing it’s hard to find place where they have big breakfast now a days. Our server Shelby was friendly and welcoming. I had the country fried steak it filled me up. I’m a big boy and it’s hard to do that. Would definitely recommend.

This is a busy place, expect a wait but it is worth the wait. The food is delicious and the servers are some of my favorite people in Bakersfield. The atmosphere is nice but expect it to be loud during the busy meal times. Still an overall great experience.

Food was great, a little bit on the pricey side for breakfast, but I think it’s normal now. Eggs are expensive, wages have gone up. Coffee was good, and servings were big, we had a good sized doggy bag. Their waitlist is great, they text you when your table is ready. It was Saturday, and we waited about 15 minutes. Water and coffee provided outside while you wait. By the time we got there the coffee was cold. Good thought but didn’t work for us. All in all, we were happy with our experience.

Just a great place for a family breakfast or lunch with a friend. The patio is dog friendly, so that always adds extra cuteness. The little muffins that come before the meal are always delicious!
