    The inside is nicely adorned with some Bakersfield photos on the wall, restaurant itself is well-lit and clean. It did have a considerable amount of people coming in - quite unexpected since this restaurant was new to me. Service was fast and excellent. Just had my favorite - eggs, hash, and bacon. I think my dish was cooked well, may be a bit under-flavored but you can always ask for condiments. Not bad, might explore their menu some more!

    The restaurant is clean and spacious. There are some stock images of food on the wall for decoration. The waitstaff is nice, but I was left a bit underwhelmed, having read other reviews that said they were met with amazing customer service and hospitality. I ordered a bacon waffle, which stated on the menu that it comes with butter and syrup. When I received my waffle, it had no butter. No biggie. I asked one of the waitresses if I could have some, as I recall it being on the menu. She then told me that it doesn't actually come with butter, despite the menu saying it does. Which I thought was odd... but nonetheless, I got some butter. It was okay. The waffle was a little dry and the bacon is more sprinkled on top than stuffed. Please take items off the menu if they do not come with the food or item ordered.

    I've been passing by this place a few times and I decided to have breakfast here with my sister and I am glad we did. The food portion was just perfect and it had a lot of flavors to my liking. I ordered the California Omelette with country potatoes and a side of sourdough toast-- and everything was delicious! The inside was spacious and the food tasted like I was eating at someone's home-- which in my opinion was very comforting. Our server was nice and friendly and she asked if we needed anything frequently. Also, I recommend trying their Pecan Waffles! I made the mistake in eating this last so the whip cream melted a little bit but it was still delicious and adding the maple syrup made up for it.

    Over meeting, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns with side of toast good portions

    Everything was really good again. It's nice in here. Quiet service is good always really good breakfast. The food was great. Ask for Denali she is a great waitress

    Shared the French toast with banana and caramel drizzle and the Colorado stack with my daughter. Portions were perfect. Dishes were flavorful. Home style environment with friendly staff. We will definitely visit again.

    Food is delicious! Had the chile verde stack and flavor was definitely there. I'm super picky with chile verde and this place knows what they're doing. Must try! We will definitely be back. Service was excellent my coffee cup was never empty.

    New spot in town! The menu has plenty of breakfast and lunch entrees to choose from and the staff is very friendly. Good atmosphere too!

    Me and my fiancé had the absolute pleasure of stumbling in this place while driving back up to sac from a LA trip. WE LOVEDDD this place. The staff super friendly. The food flavorful and rich. I got the mimosa flight and it was yummy along with the chile verde stack which was quite filling. My fiancé got the chicken and waffles with a coffee. Both leaving full and happy . Wish we didn't live 4hrs away but now we will def stop by anytime we decided to travel down from Sacramento!

    Country fried stake and banana cream pancakes

    I've been waiting to see when this pot was going to open up and today while taking my kids to school I saw that it was open so I called my wife and we headed over there to check it out. First impression is that it looks way bigger than Me n Ed's that used to be here. The server and service was prompt and welcoming. Overall food selection was good and my wife decided on the chicken fried steak and I chose the banana cream pancakes. Over all the food was good and prices were reasonable will definitely be going back.

She comes from LA so we meet halfway. She is so nice and so friendly. She really won my heart! This is the second time we meet in Bakersfield. I had this place saved for a while now so I was excited for the visit there. We got there and they sat us almost right away. They have a cute lobby before the entrance to the restaurant. There is an old telephone booth and Christmas decorations. Johnny brought us the menu and it was the lunch menu. I saw on line that they had some great food for breakfast and Te-see asked him about it. He told us they were still making breakfast so I got happy. I ordered a coffee with cream and he brought it in a little tray with the creamer on the side. The table was a little wobbly and the coffee spilled all over the tray. Luckily Te-see got that fixed with a sugar packet. Jonny brought me another tray with coffee and cream. Almost everything was plant base, some egg and chicken but definitely no red meat. Unless I didn't see it. So I ordered the chilaquiles rojos and my daughter the Happy-go-Lucky-bowl. Te-see got the torta española and slew got a pancake to shared. All the food came very fancy well presented. Almost like magazine perfect. I loved them. We were taking videos and pictures as we should like a truly Yelpers that we are. Haha! The food was so tasty and flavorful. I loved my chilaquiles. They were perfect for my palate. They were crunchy and still with the flavor of the sauce. So delicious. They came with a little bowl of beans from the olla. (Freshly cooked) Te-see mention that her torta española was great as well. It came with some green salad. And it did really look so good. My daughter got the Happy-go-lucky-bowl. I was surprised she liked it. It was so beautiful presented. Sorry I already mention that. But yes it was pretty. There was berries melon, pineapple. She said it was really good and filling. She couldn't finish it. The pancake we order to share was so healthy made with all the good grains like chia, hemp seed, brown rice, oat flour. So good. It had some bananas and berries on top. Really delicious. I want to go back again just writing about it. I may go back and order different things from the menu. The bathrooms are very clean.

The chilaquiles with any choice of meat is incredibly flavorful and one of my favorites on the menu.

We finally decided to try Huevo House, and with a name like that I was expecting both cuisines, but I wasn't expecting the Mexican flavors to be this good! The menu was a decent size--one side for breakfast and the back for lunch. I didn't look at the lunch side, but the breakfast options were great: plenty to choose from without feeling overwhelming. They serve pozole on Fridays and Saturdays and menudo on Sundays. The pozole was full of flavor and honestly one of the highlights of our visit. Thank goodness we finally found a place that satisfies us both! I ordered the Country Benedict and he ordered the Brunchiladas--both dishes were delicious and came in generous portions. We also tried the Abuelita Latte and the Mazapán Latte. Both were very good, just on the sweeter side, so if you're not into sweet coffee definitely ask for half sweet. Our server was attentive and informative. She took great care of us and even made conversation, which added to the overall experience. Overall, such a good visit. We'll definitely be back!

We waited about 20 mins as it was quite full inside and we arrived during a Saturday morning (on Valentine's Day). All sorts of guests visit, families, couples, seniors etc. I overheard the regulars say there's excellent mimosas here, I didn't try them but they looked good. Each patron had something positive to say and had a fun little story about their visit to Scrambled. As for my meal, my Mom and I both got cafe de olla which is essentially a Mexican blend of coffee with a hint of cinnamon. Fantastic! Next, I knew this place was known for its Mexican breakfast AND scrambles, so I decided to try the best of both worlds. I ordered a chile verde scramble. The flavor was really good, everything felt homemade. The meat could've been slightly more juicy, but everything worked so well I didn't mind it. The ambiance was moderately noisy, yet relaxed. I got an authentic cafe vibe here as my Mom and I were able to hold a conversation without having to raise our voices. My Mom said she got an authentic Mexican cafe vibe, I can see it! Everyone was super sweet and professional, I felt right at home.
