My wife and I came here on 4/24/26. Right from the start, the staff was friendly, especially our server Amaya. Amaya went above and beyond throughout our dinner. She even gave us several samples of ice cream, which were delicious. Amaya was very nice and took the time to stop and have conversations with us. Genuinely a nice person! Service was 5 stars. The food was good. The tri tip and chicken fried steak were full of flavor and seasoned well. The only negative we would say about the food is the tri tip was a little on the dry side, and the chicken fried steak was mostly batter. Both still tasted good, though. Just wished the tri tip was juicier and chicken fried steak was proportioned better with meat vs batter. Sides were really good (descriptions in the pics). Food was 4 stars. Atmosphere is very old school feel. They even had the Price Is Right from probably the 70's or 80's playing on the tv. Brought back funny memories. Overall, recommend. Very good local restaurant.
We've eaten here quite a bit over the years, but I've never done a review. The food here is always amazing and the portions are always huge. The service is fantastic and friendly. The inside is kept tidy. They have a grab and go food option for when you're in a hurry. For us the downside is it's on the opposite side of town.
Hola from the 661! Stopped by Honey I'm Home around 3 PM for breakfast--wow. The food was seriously delicious! Our waitress recommended the chicken fried steak, and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. I even downsized the portion, and it was still huge! My buddy ordered the eggs with biscuits and gravy and couldn't stop talking about how it was one of the best he's had in California. The waitresses were super friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. You won't be disappointed!
Honey I'm Home is an east side gem. It's inside an older breakfast joint and they've been here for a few years now. I believe they're still getting their design down, while trying to hold down the fort. You'll be greeted by one of the waitresses and on a weekend you might have to wait just a bit but it's worth the wait. They have some great specialty items and some good signature items too. Service is on point and their coffee is brought in by Covenant Coffee, a local coffee maker. I believe for their different breakfast and or lunch selections you get what you pay for and there's no way you'll leave hungry, if so that's totally on you. My usual is the bacon and eggs, where they have a thick cut peppered bacon. Eggs seem to always done just right. More pictures to follow because I know we will be here in the future. No matter what side of town you live in, this place is worth the 15-20 minute drive. Hope everyone can get the same experience we have had and hope to see you at the next one.
Honey I'm Home has another repeat customer! I have a dairy allergy (not even butter!) and Felicia accommodated my unusual breakfast request without any issue. Thank you so much for the delicious dairy-free breakfast!!! I'll be back!
Breakfast on a Tuesday morning. Dad had been wanting to try this place for breakfast so we made our way to the east side of Bakersfield. We ordered the following menu options. 1. MAN'S BEST FRIEND Omelette $18.59 sausage, bacon, ham, cheddar & monterey jack cheese. I added diced onions. I ordered the hash brown option and pancake. Per their website, one of their specialties are the "fluffy pancakes". Omelette had decent amounts of diced ham, sausage and bacon. I found this to be an omelette large enough to share. Hash browns were standard. Pancake was okay but nothing truly spectacular, just average in taste. The pancake was oversized enough to share. Overall I gave this a 8/10 2. PAUL BUNYAN $21.99, two eggs, two bacon, two sausage, a 1/2 pound ham. Ordered with country potatoes and Rye toast. The bacon was amazing!! Thick cut bacon and cooked to perfection. Overall the breakfast was your standard breakfast and definitely large enough to share. 8/10 Restaurant was clean, tables were cleaned off as soon as customers left. And restrooms were clean and fully stocked. Plenty of free parking. Waitstaff were friendly and efficient. The ambiance is pretty laid back. They also have an ice cream bar with 26 gourmet ice cream flavors.
UPDATED REVIEW.. Christina was our waitress and now im gonna have to ask for her everyday I travel here..What a difference the waitress makes. Christina was the best thing that happened to us when walking in this second time at this establishment. She brought food to our table as soon as it came out (as we requested), without anything getting cold. And her attitude and sweetness make me want to come back. We started with the chili verde macaroni and cheese as a side dish to try the chili verde before we decided to order the omelette. The chili verde omelette, which had more chili verde than I've ever seen on a plate, let alone with an omelet, was great. The taste of the chili verde was just enough to give a kick, but not enough to turn you off of eating it. 5/5 stars. Next was the basic Denver ultimate, which my daughter doesn't eat meat, so we asked for the ham on the side. There was plenty of ham on the side, 5/5 stars, enough for me to put on the chili verde omelette. Next was the make your own chicken sandwich, which we ordered with grilled onions, pickles, thousand island, barbecue sauce, fries, and jalapeno. Great chicken sandwich. It was very crispy. However, the batter on the chicken was almost seasoning-less, but nothing hot sauce and ketchup couldn't repair. 4.5/5 stars. Next was the fried chicken combo, which I ordered with their breast and wing, mac and cheese, the house salad, and ranch. The fried chicken breast was thin & tasty, but the mac and cheese was very creamy and cheesy, yet lacked flavor until I added hot sauce. The house salad was very good. I ordered it with no onions. Sidenote (since I am a weird salad eater, I looked at every bite scared I would be eating a snail. No more salad for me, I have a phobia I think). Moving on, last and not least were the two cakes we ordered. One was a strawberry crunch cake, the other was a cherry cheesecake that I do not know the name of. The strawberry crunch cake was absolutely very good but super sweet. 4/5 stars. The cherry cheesecake item was the best dessert I had eaten outside of the house in a long time. 4.7/5 stars. Overall, great visit this time, even after I swore I would not come back here and order more than one item. Thanks to Christina, I will be back. I will definitely ask for her when I'm going to this location.
Phenomenal service. A little slow but you don't go here for a quickie. You go here to enjoy the atmosphere (great song selections) and the company of family or friends. On this morning I ordered their Hit Lit Chile Verde Omelette accompanied by country potatoes and thick sourdough toast. Chile verde was perfect. What I noticed first was the generous amount of verde sauce. Potatoes were red mixed with bell peppers and onions. Very good. My wife had the French Toast Combo and it was also very good. Can't wait to come back and try out the lunch options.
Found this gem of a restaurant while on a long drive home from Socal. The cute name of the restaurant is what made us stop at first, but then once we went inside, the staff were so friendly and were very quick to help us be seated. We ordered and the food arrived so quick and was all delicious, the portion sizes were also a plus for weary travelers. The desserts there did all look delicious but we didn't have much stomach room left. But we met one of the Owners of the restaurant Ed and he gave us a couple free samples of their delicious homemade ice cream. We would like to come back here if we're ever driving through Bakersfield again.
This place is great and very busy for a Wednesday morning. We got the chicken fried steak, which was huge and very tasty, the country potatoes that were very flavorful, and the biscuits and gravy with rich flavor and soft bread. I also got the waffles and eggs. You can definitely taste the quality of the food. My only suggestion would be to invest in better seating or add some padding to the existing booths haha it might still be Cindy's original seating.
hello last weekend we visited honey. I'm home for breakfast. After an awesome Valentine's Day, I treated my family to a breakfast here. The food was absolutely amazing.!!!!!!. visually everything looked great. The portions here are insane. if you are really, really hungry I consider this the spot for you. Inside this place is very inviting and it has a nice fresh clean feel to it. We will be frequenting this spot for breakfast in the very near future.
We decided to come here for a family breakfast this morning. Our food was delicious with more than generous portions. The kids ate their breakfasts, but the hubs and I have plenty of leftovers for each of us to have breakfast tomorrow, too! Our server was sweet and attentive. The restaurant was clean and not too noisy even though it was fairly busy. My oldest daughter and my husband tried their caramel cold brew coffee; it needed a little bit of sugar but was overall very tasty and refreshing. We will definitely be back! All our food was so flavorful.
I'm convinced chicken fried steak is my true love language. If it's on the menu, I'm ordering it--no questions asked. This morning, I may have found the best one in California at Honey I'm Home Diner. The only reason it's not tied for #1 with Wise's Circle Grill in Dallas is because there was no fried okra or collard greens to seal the deal. But sweet mercy... that chicken fried steak was life-changing.
Big back activies with the kids. This place is really cute inside and has big screen TV'S. The service was great and food was delicious. I was going to give this place a 4 because the ribeye was not to my liking but the rest of the food was amazing. I tried the mushroom it was something new for me. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't order it again. The mashed potatoes and all three gravies are well seasoned and some of the best in Bakersfield. The hash browns are NOT OILY which I absolutely loved and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Great taste and texture on the fried steak. Coffee is amazing, the grilled pork chops were okay but the country potatoes are really good. I will definitely be stopping by again, great service, great food and awesome portions. Btw biscuits are fantastic and so are the onion rings with the ranch. read more

The first time we visited sometime last year my husband took me to breakfast on a random Tuesday and I was impressed, so we recently came back on a busy Saturday brunch and they STILL impressed me. Service was fast, staff was pleasant so everything was fantastic! So far, food has been good and I definitely will come back. It's way on the other side of town for me, but it's nice seeing lots of brunch options in Bakersfield these days. Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, so it's nice to know I have another option. There's lots of parking which is a plus, the other places struggle with parking which makes it hard to visit. Restaurant looks clean, it looks family oriented and they have tons of options for the family. They have tons of tables too, so there's room for everyone. The place stays busy so you know the food is fresh and they keep your coffee cup filled. I'm not sure how long this has been here since I barely visited last year, but if you haven't stopped by you definitely need to check it out. read more

Service was really good! Their sandwiches were really good but that and my coffee is all I really all i enjoyed flavor wise. The chicken fried steak was huge even the half order but lacked flavor and seasoning in my opinion. I really enjoyed my coffee which they use covenant coffee which I love them. The place was really busy and we came on a Wednesday afternoon around 2 which I love seeing a local place doing well. I think we just ordered the wrong items but we want to come back to try it again. read more

This is our third time coming here and this place has been consistently amazing. This was money well spent. Our waitress was so welcoming, and very good at her job. She was attentive and kind. We came back to try more dishes, and got a cheeseburger and meatloaf, which was a new menu item. Everything was so delicious, if you like in n out burger this one is on par in terms of taste and quality. The meat loaf was great! The Mac and cheese tastes homemade and was really delicious. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and that was SO good! It was sweet and reminded me of a cinnamon roll. I can't wait to try more menu items. read more

Excellent place to eat. I am very picky about my eggs and these were absolutely perfect. My husband had the sausage patties and eggs and he said it was great. I highly recommend you come hungry because the portions are large. The service is great, we were greeted with a smile and checked on frequently. Great restaurant. Comfortable atmosphere. We will be there again read more
We've been to this place a few times and it delivers every time! The staff are extremely personable and friendly. Come to find out, the owner was our waitress! I ordered the double cheeseburger and fries and it was one of the best burgers I've had in town yet. Both times we've gone, it's been packed inside and outside! Nice and cozy inside with a cool outdoor vibe as well. The is a gem on the east side and I highly recommend! Both breakfast and lunch menus are great. read more
Stopped into honey I'm home and it was a nice dinner. I took the kiddos and they enjoyed some pancakes and I ordered a Cobb salad with ranch. The restaurant was very cozy and felt like home, they had older shows playing & some older tunes playing too! The waitress was super friendly and kind. The food it was good, but my only hang up was with my salad the lettuce had a bitter taste and looked like it might have been browning a bit too. Overall I will be back to try it again. read more
Our second time dining here. We had gone to the Planetarium at Bakersfield College to see the Meso America art exhibit (which was fabulously invigorating). We were a party of seven. We were greeted warmly. Initially, we were served by the all-business older gentleman (we had him last time) but then we were switched over to Christina J. She was AMAZING, very attentive and endearing. Now for the food. I had the same--doctor's orders omelette with hash browns and a pancake for an upcharge of $1.99 but it was SO worth it! It was also my husband's birthday so he was sung to and given complimentary ice-cream. All in all, a great time read more
Been seeing their social media and food looked great. Came after work and ordered the Prime rib dip sandwich and sweet potato fries which was a special for the day and an open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce. The prime rib sandwich was delectable and the dip was so flavorful. My only problem with the sandwich was that I only ordered one and was kicking myself for not ordering another one for the next day. The turkey sandwich was also good but would have liked if it was carved turkey instead of slices of turkey but overall was still a great tasting sandwich. Staff was friendly and quick to take my order and prepare it fast. Place had a nice ambiance and they had several TV's on with the game going. read more

You will not go wrong selecting this place to dine in for breakfast, lunch or dinner...we came in starving and left fulfilled. It tasted as if it was cooked right in front of you with authentic flavor. The service was excellent with awesome atmosphere and good taste of music. We tried four scrumptious plates and of course every portion was shareable. You will definitely not regret selecting this location for good quality food. read more

I have heard quite a bit about this place on local Facebook group. It is located on the heart of East Bakersfield, looks like a classic American diner. The interior was nicely upgraded, a beautiful bar, lots of shinny chrome. The waiter was super sweet and friendly, chatting up all the customers. The owner came and greeted me. Very much a throw back family environment. The bread basket is very California, baked bread with choice of butter or salsa, both version were good. I got 16 oz ribeye, corn, mash: the food was delicious. I'm very curious to come back to try their breakfast one day. read more

Really sad I'm no longer living down the street, hands down the best bacon & crispiest hashbrowns. I've tried so many things here unfortunately didn't get pictures everytime I came but just know the bacon cheeseburgers & their sandwiches are some of my favorites! their fried catfish is also pretty good! My go to breakfast is always the sausage patty with over easy eggs with hashbrowns & sourdough toast, so good! Service is always good even when it's busy, only a few times we had to wait a while to get our check but they were understandably busy. Can't wait to go back! also love that they have old Price is Right episodes playing read more
