    2 Eggs and Hash Browns
    Angie B.

    Came for breakfast for a book club meeting and ordered the Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast which came with two eggs, hashbrowns, single pancake, and the chicken fried steak. Best chicken fried steak in town! Perfectly fried and seasoned! The hashbtowns were perfectly crispy and eggs cooked to perfection. The pancake was buttery, thick, and tasted delicious. Waitresses were incredibly patient as our party had no shows and kept refilling our coffee's. Can't wait to come back and try other items although I believe I will probably just order the chicken fried steak!

    Don't come for me guys. Knotty Pine was my favorite for years. However the food is not what it once was and I've had this conversation with several previous regulars. Was there a big change to the kitchen staff over the past year or so? Hopefully it can get back to what it once was. We need to protect this restaurant and keep it around for years to come.

    Eggs Benedict with Ham

    Service into the restaurant was kind and full of greetings and smiles from everyone. Very cozy environment. As you can see from the pictures it is very cozy and warm; like a cabin you might stay at. I ordered Eggs Benedict. Perfect hollandaise for the Benedict's. Potatoes were crispy. My husband had the hot link breakfast with Lonnie potatoes. He loved SPICY. It was heaven. We shared the French Toast. Omgoodness, lots of food. Great coffee. The seating is tables and booths. Space is a bit tight, but everyone is focused on their family and enjoying their space. I loved this place. It is definitely a monthly keeper to our repertoire of favorites. I can imagine their lunch. Looking forward to returning! If you're in the area, come by and give them a try. You won't regret the experience.

    Good food as usual. We decided to go here for lunch and it was pretty good for what we got. My wife ordered their egg, bacon, and biscuits with gravy for breakfast and I got their cat fish breakfast meal with bacon (catfish was burnt to a crisp). Just good ol' fashioned breakfast with some great coffee. Service was excellent, never had an empty glass. Loud atmosphere as well, everyone was talking really loud to each other. We had to use earplugs while we ate, thank God we had some.

    Denver omlete with Lonnie's Hash Browns

    I CANT GET OVER HOW AMAZING THIS PLACE IS. Now this place is TRULY A GEM IN BAKERSFIELD. I can't reccomend this place enough if you have never had their Breakfast or Lunch. This place is the defention of flavortown and every penny spent here is absulotely worth it. Stopped by for brunch on a Friday with my wife where I got breakfast and she got lunch around 1pm. They are open till 3pm FYI. I got myself the Denver omlete with Lonnie's hashbrowns and it was a MASSIVE portion of food considering the price. I honestly couldn't finish my plate, too much!!! My meal was a 10/10, just phenomenal. My wife went with a grilled Tereyaki Chicken Sandiwch and she swears it's the best chicken Sandwich in town lol. Overall, do your life a favor and come here. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I've been coming to Knotty Pine since 2013 and I will confine to come for the rest of my life. Thanks Knotty Pine for all the amazing food over the years. Till next time!

    Two egg breakfast with sausage
    Rosa W.

    I was in town for work and was looking for a nice breakfast place before I flew out. I came across this cute place on Yelp, read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. This was a great choice! When I arrived there was a wait, and the parking lot was full, but because it was just myself I was able to walk in and get seated immediately at the bar by the nicest host. I ordered the two egg breakfast with sausage and I chose breakfast potatoes and a biscuit with gravy. This was So much food, but everything was delicious. To start off the breakfast potatoes were awesome. They had the perfect texture, perfectly seasoned and there were a lot of them. The sausage was also fantastic, it was perfectly season and I think it may be made in house but I'm not sure. Either way it was very good. My eggs were perfectly cooked and my biscuit was so flaky. What an amazing breakfast. I can't believe I got all of this for $14.61 before tip. If you are in town, please give this cute place a try. It is so worth it

    Steak and Eggs, over Medium. Ribeye Steak, cooked Medium Well. Substitute fresh fruit for biscuits & gravy, AND a Perfect Pancake.....DRUMROLL....Under $20 plus tax......enough for 2 people, or 1/2 of EVERYTHING to go! Felix, one of the kitchen workers, and possible manager, was friendly, when he came out for a break. He took time to engage in a conversation with this old man.....me. Experience Cope's Knotty Pine, on the North Edge of Oildale...where Merle Haggard lived in a boxcar that his dad fixed it up real nice. You can see it at the historic and iconic Kern County Museum. Right down Chester, just a few minutes away!

    Chicken and waffles
    Karen G.

    The chicken and waffles were ok. Reason being is that the waffle itself was a little soggy and the chicken had very little flavor. The service was quick and friendly, the waitresses were attentive. The interior was giving country with all the wood furniture.

    I can't believe this is my first time here. I've been hearing about Copes for years. It is a quaint rustic coffee shop, serving breakfast & lunch. The staff is prompt & friendly even though they are very busy. They have a quite extensive menu of breakfast & lunch items. Breakfast is served all day. Their lunch menu looks excellent as well. I'll be back soon to try it out. What I like is that they offer many individual items if you don't have a big appetite. I order a biscuit with gravy and a side of sausage. The biscuit was cloud fluffy, the gravy was rich and peppery. The sausage was moist & spicy. The servings are generous. If you want delicious down home cooking this is the place to come.

    Food is ok but dry, service was horrible!! No drink refills, literally dropped the food and left. We had to find someone to get the check to leave. Other servers walked by and just glanced at us and failed to tip off drinks or even offer a "hey we are busy can I help" . Absolutely not worth the time , go somewhere else.

    Brock's Smackin' Hot Turkey Sandwich, for onion rings
    Aron N.

    Given the reviews, my expectations were high. The food is okay. It's a typical diner. Was disappointed with my turkey sandwich as it was a bit soggy and the turkey was very dry and stringy. The country potatoes were soggy too. I think the traditional breakfast items are the way to go for this place.

    Meat Lovers burrito: replaced ham with chile verde

    Tried their meat lovers burrito. Comes with bacon, ham, and sausage. Replaced ham with chile Verde. Pretty good. They had the chicken Verde under the burrito topped with shredded cheese that hadn't melted yet. The hash browns in side were filling but I wish they were crunchier I had asked the hostess for a mix of sweet tea and unsweetened tea. She was considerate enough to ask if I wanted that more or less sweet. I said less sweet and with lemon. She brought it to me with 2 lemon wedges and it was perf. The moment I finished my plate someone came by and asked if they could take it. Very attentive. The ambiance of the place makes you feel like your in the backwoods camping, but you're really just in the back parts of Bakersfield lol. Kinda on the not so great side of town but just down the block from the Rock Church which I visited for the 1st time and came here after service.

    Do they offer any Vegan options?

    I'm here now looking at the menu. I see nothing specifically labeled vegan.

    Do they serve mimosas here?

    Yes, mimosas are served at Cope's Knotty Pine Cafe

    We waited for almost an hour under "Justin", party of 5, but we were skipped over another party (of 5) who clearly arrived behind us?

    Someone in your party needs to stand up front so they can hear your name called they call three times always if no one responds they move on to the next person on the list

    Nothing like discovering a hidden gem. I was shocked when my friend said they had the best burgers…read more I'd never heard of them before. Renae's Cafe is tucked away, next to a laundromat! Once you step inside, you're immediately greeted by a friendly waitress. Their building feels nice and cozy, like you're going to dine in someone's home. It really is a local favorite, because the dining area was packed. They post their specials on white boards and they always are switching it up. I ordered a burger my first time and it did not disappoint. They place the lettuce, tomato, and onions on the side, so you dress the burger yourself. I like mine with everything on it, so once assembled--it was massive! And the crinkle cut fries were amazing! On this second visit I ordered their French Dip sandwich. I've had French Dips from other places in town and I can say that this one takes the top spot. It was huge! Side of onion rings made it that much better. In conclusion: friendly staff, warm atmosphere, large portions--check out Renae's!

A generous portion of beef with Swiss cheese and green chili is piled onto sour dough bread and grilled. Served with Au jus and very sour pickles. You have an abundant choice of sides to pick from, French fries, tots, potato salad, green salad, soup, cottage cheese or fruit. You also have the option to upgrade your side for a dollar and the choice is clam chowder or onion rings. They are a breakfast & lunch spot only. They have many tasty options to choose from.

I went twice to this location two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much. First with a friend and then I had to introduce it to my kids. The coffees and teas are delish and unique, as well as the smoothies and juices (I didn't try those but my kids loved them). We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good! Filled with little pockets of cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with toasted regular and black sesame seeds (I forgot to take a pic of this one, but I'll add it next time I go). We enjoyed all of the pastries we tried- not a crumb on our plates by the time we were finished! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the employees super nice and helpful. You can ask them for descriptions or ask for a menu to see details and ingredients. They're open late too, so I think my next visit will be a GNO or a date with my hubby.

They also had free WiFi & since it's near the university, it's popping with college students working on their laptops. I absolutely love the variety of items to eat & drink! I got the Dubai chocolate, manakeesh, mint mango smoothie (seasonal for Ramadan, not a permanent item) & a Vimto refresher. I've never had Dubai chocolate before but I am STOKED I had it here for the first time. Perfect size, perfect crispy texture & powerful flavor. I love that the pistachio isn't overwhelming. The manakeesh is my all time favorite. Flatbread with white melted cheese & the perfect seasonings. It's embarrassing how quick I ate it. I can't savor it because it's THAT GOOD!! Only $3!!! The Vimto refresher is my absolute favorite new drink. It has sparkling water with berries. Chefs kiss. I know it's going to hit hard in the summer when I'm needing a cold drink. The mint mango smoothie is PHENOMENAL! The balance of mint & mango is just right. I hope they keep this item around. The service was also wonderful. Kind baristas that are knowledgeable & definitely hard workers! They are a very busy business & they handle it with ease. One thing I do not care for (but it will not affect negatively on my review) is credit card payments. Your subtotal they tell you after you order is only if you pay cash. If you pay card, it is atomically more because of credit card charges but they do not say that. It will also reflect an even higher amount on the screen because it automatically adds 20% gratuity to your credit card charge. So it goes from one price, to another, to another. I always tip but if it's not a restaurant, it will typically be 10%. Be aware of the charges when you go. I absolutely love this spot. I can't wait to try new drinks & food!
