    The food was okay, The waiters take a long time and don't really check up on you. I had to walk around to find a person for my refill, I got a spoon that was DIRTY.

    This IHOP is always so slow. Slow seating, slow serving, slow cooking. Quality of food is pretty standard compared to other IHOPs, just be prepared for a bit of a wait.

    My family hadn't been to an IHOP in quite some time, and being that we had a gift card, we thought, what the heck?! It's Christmas Eve, it was cold out, and we could go for some flapjacks. The location itself is in a pretty sketchy part of Bakersfield next to some motels that were being rented out to a rough looking crowd. Besides that, the location is very convenient. As we walked in, the server already knew who we were, and escorted us to the table my aunt was already sitting at with my grandmother. It was in a part of the restaurant that seemed to be more of a covered/indoor patio. I had to keep my jacket on because it was drafty for sure. Lanie was our server and she was fantastic. Took all our orders with a good knowledge of the menu, and got us our drinks pretty quick. The food itself took about 25 min to get to our table, and when it did, about 50% of the food was room temp, some items were warm, and the only things that came out hot was the coffee. Lanie explained to us that where the food sits to wait to be picked up by the servers was not under a heat lamp. She took back the 50% of food to be warmed, and brought it all back and her apology on behalf of the restaurant. Overall, the food items were tasty, my kids loved the various syrups, and there enough to take home. The location of the restaurant gets -1 stars for its location. And -1 for the cold. Besides that, it was a good experience. If we ever go to IHOP, it'll likely be at their location on Rosedale.

    I didn't think I would ever, but I have to honestly take back my previous review. I decided to return, I'm glad I did! Today was the best! Even on a busy day we were seated and welcomed with best customer service. Our waiter NIKKI was VERY attentive. She definitely has years of experience. We even met Brent the manager and he made sure our food was the way we ordered it. The New management is definitely starting to do improvements. Thank you very much for making our stay a great experience to definitely want to return again! Keep it up!

    First time at this location and JACOB'S service was outstanding. Very attentive to his tables, the ambiance was very welcoming and friendly. Chefs did a great job with our meals, both presentable and tasteful. Will definitely be 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. Also maybe restaurant is part of the hotel

The eggs were well poached, nice and runny yolk. The meat portion was good, it was a touch salty. Muffin was toasted well and the hash browns were good. The hollandaise sauce was a touch heavy on the lemon but I still enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly when I entered as well so the service was good. The setback for me was the price tag, it was almost $18 for just the benedict with hash brown, no drink or anything else. It's a bit high, I think for the quality and taste if it were a few bucks cheaper I'd give pretty high praise. Still, it was a pretty good experience and I'll probably give it another shot down the road.

The second was almond butter and banana with cocoa nibs, honey, and cinnamon. The third was Nutella and hazelnuts topped with strawberries and coconut flakes. They were all delicious, but my favorite was definitely the Nutella and hazelnut toast. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the variety made it fun to share and try different combinations. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is a cute cafe vibe. You place order at the counter and someone brings your order to your table. Smitten is definitely a must-visit spot when downtown for breakfast.

    SMITTENS STAPLE IS THEIR ABILITY TO MISS THE FLAVOR IN EVER SINGLE DISH…read more Update: coming back after some palate development... smitten is one of the most tasteless restaurants in town. Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.
