Food and service were good, but not great! They lacked in cleanliness. They have 2 of three components for success, just need the whole team focused on cleanliness too. Honest opinion... read more

Food and service is great, a location with ample seating. My cousin recommended this location and everytime im in town, its where we have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Love it! read more

Nice coffee shop atmosphere. Fast and friendly service. Ordered a tuna melt and a pastrami sandwich. We will be back to try their breakfast.

They just remodeled this place. Classic vintage diner that gives hearty portions... they definitely live up to that! Tried this place early on a Sunday morning. We each got an omelette and they come with choice of potatoes and toast or biscuits and gravy. I couldn't even finish my omelette. Tastes like a good diner food. Service was good. One waitress working the front until a second came when we were getting ready to leave. Clean place. Affordable compared to others! If you're looking for diner food, this is it. read more

My family's usual go-to for breakfast when we eat out. Their portions are huge for the price you pay and the food we get is great. We usually order the chili verde omelet and/or some kind of skillet and it comes with biscuits and gravy -- all enough food for multiple meals. I will admit their service is hit or miss so we usually order for pick-up to avoid the lines/waits. I don't think I've ever waited more than 30 mins for our food when I've ordered for pick-up. read more

Service was fine for me and a friend each time we visited this restaurant, unfortunately I cannot say that my son received the same service or hospitality that I did. All he wanted were French toast full breakfast with a side of biscuits and gravy which I suggested and they are his favorite. My son's very first visit was a horrible experience. I was angry at the way my son said he was treated as a paying customer. I know it's like beating a dead horse. And most do not believe racism still exists but it does, especially here in Bakersfield. Yes he is a tall (6ft 4in) handsome, great personality, kind to everyone, father of 7 equally beautiful children, black male with dreads. Even though I said all that he was treated like a tall, black male with dreads. He was ignored by waitresses, snapped at by waitresses, order taken reluctantly, stared at by other patrons, and change thrown back at him. I was furious and called and spoke with the owner expressed my feelings and let her know that I will not be returning and nor will any of my family or friends. If you have suffered the same distasteful treatment, speak out and for Gods sake do not spend your money at Country Kitchen. PEACE read more

Food great, service great, restaurant looks professional and clean. I usually come here and get breakfast for my cow workers or family

Food is good. Service is slow. When seated, we were not asked if we wanted anything to drink. I would say between 5 to 10 min before anyone came to us. The food came out quickly but was not fully hot. One person requested fruit instead of hash browns, but we were charged .99 cents, and they did not tell us that there was an extra charge. I also ordered one slice of toast instead of the two that came with the meal, and it was buttered on half the slice. I was asked if I wanted any hot sauce or salsa. I had to ask a second time about 10 minutes later because she never brought me what I wanted in the first place. The restaurant was clean, but the bathroom was nasty. The server we had was not friendly, and she didn't seem to care we were there. read more

Not much has changed as far as seating and decor from the previous restaurant except maybe some paint. You're getting vintage school Sambo's building (I think) be prepared to stand and wait cus they don't have much of a waiting area. Due to the wait time we decided to sit at the counter. The staff was friendly and boy did these girls have their hustle on. We didn't have to wait long to place our order but it did take long to get our order. The place isn't very big, it maybe seats 75 - 80 people. Well we all have our likes and dislikes when it comes to food. If you like food the way your sister cooks it when mom tells her to make your brothers and sisters something to eat, you'll like this place. If you like a lot of food and inexpensive prices, you'll like this place. The food isn't anything fancy, just comfy. It reminds me of sitting on the couch in my pajamas eating a bowl of cereal. read more

Service was good. I ordered hamburger steak , scrambled eggs with cheddar on top, country potatoes, biscuits with gravy, two strips of bacon. The bacon was a thick but wasn't crispy like I like. The potatoes were fried in oil and served glistening in oil. Too much oil. The eggs needed salt and I suspected were also fried in the same oil, not butter which would have added more needed flavor. The hamburger patty was undercooked and also needed salt. The biscuits and gravy had a sweetness to them. It was the biscuit Too sweet for me and the cream gravy had way too much black pepper. The gravy was too thin and didn't have that richness of milk butter flavor that I'm used too. Rarely do I not eat the biscuits and gravy but I left 3/4 of it on my plate. Coffee was good. Overall a below average breakfast meal. I left half of it on the plate. The decor was nice with the natural wood and browns. Overall a mediocre to below average experience. This place has so much potential, these people really should step up their game in regards to food taste and quality. For the price of about $23 dollars I could have had a much better breakfast elsewhere. I will not return. read more

It's my favorite place food is delicious service there really nice. It's really good relax and

First time here, in fact coming here was totally by accident. However, like Bob Ross always said, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents, and this nice little restaurant sure proved the point.  We had business in Bakersfield and decided to grab a quick meal before things got started.  Talk about surprised, breakfast was not only very tasty, but too big to finish.  From the coffee to the Chicken Fried Steak, country taters and gravy smothered biscuits, everything was wonderful.  Our server was also very attentive, our cups never running dry, we felt like VIP's or something.  This place is definitely on our Bakersfield HAPPY list for any future visits.  Not fancy, just good old fashioned, down home style food. Very glad we stopped in. read more

Food is great here. This place is a lil busy weekend mornings but it food is awesome and portions are great. Staff are super friendly amd food comes out semi quick. I ordered the sirloin steak breakfast and my husband the new york steak breakfast both served with eggs choice of hash brown or country potatoes and either toast or biscuits and gravy. So much food especially when we got strawberry waffles along side so yummy. read more

First time at this place. Wanted to try something new, waited at the door for about 10 minutes before someone came to tell we will be seated in a bit. Finally sat down and waited another 10 minutes for a female server to take our drink order then our food. Took about 20 minutes to get our drinks. This place was not busy what so ever for them to take this long. Food arrived after another 15 minutes and was cold and no flavor at all. The waitress only came one time to see how we were doing. There were 3 waitresses there and all of them were too busy waiting on some men sitting at the bar area. Our first experience was bad, food was not good and service was even worse. read more

Arrived to a full place so expectations were really high, was seated right away and the staff was really friendly, coffee was fresh and hot. Once the food arrived the expectations quickly went down, pork chop was overcooked, hash brown under cooked. Gravy had no sausage and the biscuits were flat. The place has a good vibe and will comeback again, will I order the same? Probably not. read more

We checked in a about 8:55, the server then tells us ok I'll seat you in 15min 15min went by others where getting seated and she didn't even come check on us on wait time, I see tables available they don't hesitate to clean y until you have to tell them. Then karina there rude employee comes with adittude mad saying well she's busy I'm not cleaning it because it's not my side, so your telling me I have to wait just because you can't clean it ? She sees olderly people wait doesn't ask anything but let's other sit ? I then ask to speak to a manger and he comes out the same then a employee passes by running her mouth laughing alondra , this store is super rude and if they don't fix there employees it's gonna be bad. I seen people leave because the way they are with customers, I know it's a family own business but no matter what treat your customers with respect!!! Customer service is bad poor people read more

Country Kitchen - Steak and shrimp - Comfort Food Near Me - Bakersfield, California

BEWARE!!!!!I went to this establishment expecting a great breakfast with my family, not to be ripped off.. After reviewing the bank statements and realizing they charged me $8 extra, I decided to go in and see what the issue was... I'm a very understanding person, it could've been an honest mistake after bring it to the employees attention, they just go back to working, ignoring this wrongful situation... I get the owners number and he doesn't wanna help AT ALL either, calling me a liar and stating on his end it's the right amount, and giving me a confirmation number to an account I have zero access too, let alone I don't even know his name.. I wasn't asking for anything free, I just wanted things to be made right... read more

The food was delicious. Portion size were big and pricing was great. Best part was the friendly staff.

The owner is rude, I asked for Splenda's and she said I should've brought it from home. I shouldn't have to bring my own Splenda from home.

The food is good. Not the same like how it was years ago but it's still good. I wish they were open longer. They're only open til 2 pm. If you plan to go for breakfast, go as early as you can because it does get packed. read more

Food was okay. Plates were served sloppy. Coffee was cold. Restaurant waitresses were not so welcoming. Cleanliness was not the best. They also seem to be short on staff. And a bit before I was done eating they inform me they only take cash or Zelle. Which luckily I have Zelle overall I wouldn't go again. read more

-1 one star. Maybe if the waitresses took the time to acknowledge the growing waiting line and fill the empty tables they clearly had, maybe we would have gotten the opportunity to have eaten the food. Maybe I would have more to bass my review on rather than the horrible first impression. Work on your customer service skills. read more

Wow... This is probably worst restaurant ever I been... This restaurant is so unsanitary and have boring common food so what's different between country kitchen and Denny's! My order is taking longer than Denny's and gives me bad quality food! This place have no entertainment or something keeps me busy! Well, this is very ugly than classic diner trailer. I wish I could give you below 1 star! read more

Trash service, VERY unclean from the doors to floors. Yuck! I don't know why we even stayed. The seats in the booth we sat at were full of food, the floors were gross. We then see the busier pick up, hopefully unopened, packages of jelly then add them back to the caddy on the table; he could have at least wiped them off. Our orders were taken, and as we waited for our meal we were sat next to a large very loud party. Being that we were in such close proximity, like just about leg to leg, due to only one side of the restaurant being open the waitress should have moved the the other party's table over as far as possible. which she didn't. The steak wasn't seasoned and over cooked, eggs and toast were cold and my daughter's waffles were dry and tough. Oh let me not forget to add ALL of the condiment containers were FILTHY we ended up using baby wipes to hold them. Final straw was the rude party being obnoxiously loud and the kids, about 10 years old whining and coughing without covering their mouths. read more

Just thought I'd show this place some love. The food is delicious, and the portions are huge, I got the Country Skillet, and it fed me for the entire day, ate half and had the rest for dinner. I was honestly surprised to see that it has a three star rating haha, it is more affordable than many of the other diners in town and the food in my opinion was better than places like Old River Grill, which has better ratings. The service was good, the server was super friendly and attentive even though she was the only waitress on duty. read more
