    Came for Sunday breakfast because I had business in Delano. Haven't been here since it's name change to Generals so it's been a long time. I had the country fried steak and I loved it! It came with two steaks so I saved one for later. It was so crispy and flavorful. The eggs were just eggs. The country potatoes were a little mushy but it did have some crispy moments to it. And Im so glad that I was able to get pancakes with it too. It comes with a choise of biscuits and gravy, pancakes or toast. So thankfully I got to try the pancakes which were also great as well. My husband got the oreo French toast. The bread was soaked in an egg mixture. You could definitely taste that. It wasn't dry. He finished it all. The only think about their speciality items, which it all looked good....it would cost almost $25 to make it a meal with the eggs and meat. Hence my option of the country fried steak. Otherwise their strawberry cheesecake waffles were looking pretty good on that menu. Only gripe about the place...sticky yucky menus.

    Add this one to your list. Great breakfast. Great smiles and service. Comfortable and quiet place.

    I readily admit to being a food snob, as many of you who follow me should know. Frankly, on a road trip down Highway 99 from Sacramento to Bakersfield, and back, there is very little in the way of good food options. Sorry, but just as I see it, and I have tried again and again to no avail. That takes me here, the General, which I hoped as an independent cafe/diner type restaurant might be the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, no. It's just another roadside 'greasy spoon'. It's not particularly clean looking, but I did see servers diligently sanitizing seats, booths, and tables when people left, a very good sign. The place, however, is a bit weather worn and in need of a good sprucing up. The menu is OK, typical of this type of establishment, plastic and pictures, and not too inspired. I ordered the Santa Fe Grill Sandwich with fries, plus an iced tea. The sandwich was just OK, and yes, alas, greasy. It came with a beautifully grilled pepper, which I typically would love to eat a pepper like that, but it too looked greasy. I could only consume half the fries, unusual for me as I typically woof them down, but not here. Service was good, friendly, which was nice. Lots of local families seem to eat here. I did have high hopes. Oh, well. Next trip - power bars!

    Strawberry lemonade

    Family oriented restaurant. Great customer service, everyone was super friendly. The food was very good and came in big portions. -the strawberry lemonade was very good! You must try it.

    The waitress was super sweet and really nice. I had the breakfast 6oz steak special and they cooked my steak just how I like it, medium rare. The country potatoes though were not the same. But this caramel banana waffle was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Would recommend.

    Trying a Delano favorite today. After having Pan de CoCo on vacation I needed to find the nearest…read moreFilipino bakery to buy some. Turns out its about 35 min away from me, um ok worth the drive. After reading the reviews I read they sell out pretty quickly and I realized how right they were. When I arrived there was just a few options left and not knowing what to get I watched a customer come in and make an order, to which I of course responded with I want what she ordered. You cant go wrong when you watch what is everyone's favorite. I got lady fingers, sweet cream rolls and banana filled what I believe to be a lumpia wrapper. 6 lady fingers, 2 rolls and 2 banana yummys for $7. A steal! They only take cash so be prepared for that. The lady fingers are bread with sugar coating(not at all like the Italian lady fingers that are more cookie like). They were still warm ftom being fresh made and 3 for $1 how can you pass this up. Soft, sweet bread and a hot cup.of coffee. I would be in heaven. The sweet cream rolls were soft, and pillows. When I got home I put some of my Amish made Cinnamon Pear Jam that I wrote about in a previous review and it leveled up and it felt illegal eating it. The banana lumpia dessert was good, of the choices it wasnt my favorite but im not the biggest fan of fried food. It was crispy, and the sliced bananas inside was cooked nicely and not mushy. The banana flavor was subtle but there. I would have rather had a stronger banana flavor but to me the fry oil was overpowering. The bakery has been there for ao long, do not expect an over priced fancy bakery with mid products. Youre going to an older bakery(been around since the 80s and the building probably hasnt changed much) where they know how to bake the tried and true Filipino desserts and breads without gimmicks or trends, and because they keep interior/exterior basic they can keep the prices down. This is the kind of bakery you come to for quality old school products and service, everyone is helpful and kind and they deliver the most delicious breads and desserts. I will be back soon to try their Pan de Coco!!

The line was out the door when my family and I arrived but the service is quick. It's cash only, so that helps to keep things moving. The bakery is small with a few booths inside if you're hoping to sit down for coffee and bread. Otherwise, most people are in and out. Today, my family and I ordered to go. We always buy their pan de sal. It's my favorite to have in the morning for breakfast. We also bought some lady fingers. They're a great sweet treat.

I was craving a nice greasy drive-in burger with a side of fried mushrooms. The burger was good, just like I remember it being. But the side of mushrooms only came with 7 for a price of $5. Not worth it, in my opinion. I paid $14 for my meal without a drink. Will I come back? Sure, if I want to reminisce about my childhood growing up in Delano without a price tag. Maybe I'll give Elmers a visit next time.

Spent $40+ on some garbage. Sorry to say but this was truly garbage. Fried mushrooms come with a baby amount for 5.99. Zucchini is $1.20 each im guessing since I only got 5 pieces that are small. Burrito is literally a hard burnt overly cooked tortilla. And the best thing here is the jalapeño poppers because its most likely store bought. The oil used was the same oil they fry everything and it is probably a month old oil. I ordered this right before lunch time today. Milk shake was also horrible, think they used 1 scoop of ice cream and the rest was mostly milk. This place should be ashamed of themselves. Very poor quality food and probably should be closed down. I rank this place a 0/10. Nothing was decent about this place and its the 2nd time I've ordered from her.

If you're not from Delano and you're looking for a burger spot in the area then this is the one. The burgers and fries are seasoned well and if you have a sweet tooth then you need to make sure to get the banana shake. Trust me! You'll regret it if you don't try that banana shake!

We ordered Dubai chocolate ice cream before leaving and it was also delicious!
