The "Okie Special" scramble was excellent, the service fast, and the waitress very nice. The place is clean and smoke free. The prices are right and portions are large. read more

KK's Cafe - Okie Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Went back today and had their chicken fried steak; it was pretty delicious. Also, it was big enough for two grown men to share. My buddy and I split it, and we neither of us finished our half of the meal served on separate platters. I think that there are definitely guys out there (and maybe ladies, too) who could demolish this whole thing on their own, but I have to imagine there aren't that many out there that can. Add in that the chicken fried steak is only $10 or so and comes with three eggs prepared the way you want them AND your choice of country potatoes or hash browns AND your choice of toast or biscuit and gravy, and you'll see that it's a great deal on the price, too. I'll be coming back with the wife next time. read more

First time going but not the last...food was delicious and service by Danielle was exceptional. The plates are huge, you will not leave hungry. read more

Decent food greasy but decent. I would not come back here knowing I have other options. We were here visiting and tried due to a break down. It was busy and folks seemed happy but we travel and in my experience this isn't high on my list. The food tastes about like their parking lot looks. Questionable?? Yep! read more

Good country cooking. This is one of those things that I love about Bakersfield. Thick bacon, great gravy, and crispy hash browns. Yum

My all time favorite breakfast spot! I always switch it up and I'm never disappointed. You MUST try their chicken fried steak & get the half order cause it's HUGE!!! Sooo delicious!!! I highly recommend KK's Cafe! read more

We stopped in for breakfast on our way to the March Meet at Famoso, place had quite a few customers so that was a good sign. I ordered some coffee right away and scanned the menu. I ordered a Denver omelet with country style potatoes and biscuit and gravy, my brother in law ordered Bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast. Order came out before I finished my first cup of coffee and all was great, waitress kept my coffee cup topped up and that's important. I have been here once or twice before and will definitely be coming back. read more

For a simple little cafe off of Highway 99, the food and service are perfection! I had the bacon, Swiss, avocado burger, with fries, and ranch. So delicious! The burger was juicy. Avocado perfectly ripe. The ranch is so good! Also, my company enjoyed the eggs Benedict. YUM! Our waitress was very friendly and on point. A great experience. Thank you! read more

I came by because this place is not far from my house. The staff was friendly, the menu was average. 2 eggs, corned beef hash, hash browns, sourdough toast, and coffee cost $10.70-ish. The hash browns had been cooked so that a "skin" developed on the side that was facing the grill. Apparently the cook thinks that is the side to be seen upright when you get your meal. My "once over medium" eggs were done correctly. The hash browns were okay. The corned beef hash was less than average. The coffee was good. read more

The best breakfast I have had in years. Everything was fresh such as the potatoes, spinach, mushrooms etc. Highly recommended.

Stopped in for a late breakfast on Memorial Day and we were immediately greeted at the door by a smiling server. This is exactly what you think a roadside diner should be with all the character and history that one would expect...the difference was that the food was actually not your typical greasy spoon fare...it was a wonderfully delicious surprise! Our server was super friendly and gave great advice about the food. We had a great grilled cheese on thick fresh bread with fresh ripe fruit, the 1/2 Chicken Fried Steak (more than enough!) with a fluffy biscuit and tasty gravy, and a well packed BLT with fresh juicy tomato. We will definitely return here and recommend to others! read more

My wife and I were heading back to Sacramento, after spending the night at her sisters's. Was a little put off by the other reviews, but decided to try it anyway. Service was fast, food was good and adequate to large portions. Wife had oatmeal with all the fixings on the side. I had the chorizo and egg scramble, with a side of salsa, hash browns and biscuits and gravy. While not extraordinary, it was all good. Biscuit was fluffy, and the food was what you would expect at a truck stop. Filled with local regulars and truckers. Also, the bathrooms were clean. Also, was pulling a small utility trailer and it had plenty of easy parking in the unpaved portion of the lot. It's not fine dining, it's a truck stop. Three stars for a restaurant, four stars for a truck stop. read more

1st time visit for Breakfast. We enjoyed our meals and service. Nice small Cafe with Western theme. We'll be back...

I love the down home country feeling of this place. And, the camaraderie of the locals...farmers, the friendly waitresses all make you feel right at home. The "regulars" go behind the counter and feel at ease to pour themselves another cup of coffee. The food is very good too!! read more

This place is a hidden gem. A friend recommended it to me. The breakfast is delicious and great portion size. My husband got the chicken fried steak and was very pleased with it. I got the French toast and it was one of the best I have had. It was fluffy and very flavorful. They are very friendly here. They also have a lunch menu which looks yummy. We will definitely be back soon. read more

Small off the highway cafe. Food (breakfast) was very good. Large portions and fast service. I will return.

It's so easy to get caught up in going to the local franchises like Denny's for a standard breakfast, but it's fun to try a new local place. The food was extremely reasonable with a lot of it. I ordered the two eggs, cowboy potatoes with biscuit and gravy for 6.99. I enjoyed everything on my plate and my husbands. The biscuits were very good, not dry but extremely fluffy and moist. The potatoes were probably the best I have ever had, crisped perfectly, yet soft and fluffy on the inside and lots of bell pepper. We will definitely be back. read more

Everytime I come here I make sure I get the biscuits and gravy as my side dish because it's soo good. Every think I try on the menu is absolutely delicious! The best brunch place near my place for sure read more

This place is a usual eatery for me. The service is always solid, and the food very consistent. If I am hungry I go for the full order of chicken fried steak. It is HUGE, and come with potatoes (hash browns or country potatoes), and a side of either toast or biscuits and gravy (get the biscuits and gravy). Most of the time I will order the combo omelette, which also comes with potatoes and a side. If you're feeling adventurous order a side of spicy sausage patty. It is a standard breakfast sausage patty loaded up with the hot stuff (usually cayenne or red chili flakes). It will certainly get you wide eyed in the morning. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We went here thinking it was Kelly's Cafe. This place tries to copy Kelly's Cafe but falls extremely low. The food is very poor. I ordered the okie's special which was very gross. We arrived at 11 and they were out of biscuits and orange juice. Didn't understand why they couldn't make a quick batch when they still had 3 hours until they closed. Frozen potatoes that weren't fully cooked. I would not recommend going to this place. read more

Place is has amazing breakfast, the okie scramble is amazing, super friendly staff and just all around jamming food. Kinda hard to find but certainly worth finding...... The waitress Rene is very very nice! read more

One of the best breakfast places in town. Fresh and tasty food, friendly service, and a hometown feel. It's definitely my go to place.

The chicken fry is excellent. The waitress is friendly and good looking there is a lot of parking spaces.

Big portions, fair prices and friendly service. The Okie Special is a must try!

Always such amazing food! Servers are always nice and friendly. Their food taste homemade and is fresh. I've never been disappointed

My wife I and missed the memo stating that kelly's cafe had moved. But since we had driven so far we decided to stop at kk's. We were optimistic noticing that the parking lot was deceptivly full. We entered and the servers were nice enough. We had ordered two orange juices but only received one because the ran out of OJ. So I settled for a coffee. Not a big deal but a little annoying. My wife then ordered the "okie special" but it should be renamed the onion special because that seems to be the primary ingrediant. I orded the "world famous chicken fry". I went on a wing with this one because steak was not in it's name or description. But that wasn't the issue. It was supposed to come with a choice of either toast or biscuits and gravy but the waitress said they had run out of biscuits.. I thought "how can a diner open for breakfast and closes at 2 pm be out of biscuits"? I mean we were there around 10 it's not like it was closing time. It all made sense to me when I got my chicken fry. It was literally a cube steak that was dropped in bisquick and deep fried. Which would have been fine if the deep fried pancake batter wasn't a inch thick or of it tasted better or even if the breading would stay on. I have had and many of fried foods in my day. I have never seen breading fall off so easily. The worst though was the hash browns... they tasted freezer burned... and were cold in the center... how is it Denny's can give you decent hash browns but not a diner? Normally I could look past my over easy eggs swimming in grease but the crap kept adding up. It is as if the owners KK's were banking on Kelly's cafe old location and naming KK is like saying" hey we're related and we have the same quality food". But it fell so very short. read more

Great food, friendly staff, quick service. 3rd time going there for breakfast and it gets better every time. The chicken Fry was excellent (and being from Texas I have had a lot of chicken fry in my days and this ranks up there with the best of them) my wife order the Okie Special which was really good. My daughter is a picky eater and the waitress made sure her breakfast burrito was exactly how she wanted it. We will definently be back!!!! read more

I think the previous reviewers must have caught them on an off day. KK's offers the best chicken fried steak I've ever had. My family did have to wait a few minutes for a table, and the biscuits weren't anything special. Other than that, my son's pancakes were perfect, my mom's country potatoes were yummy, eggs were nice and fluffy, and the service was good. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Feel the need to give a 5 star review to balance out the bad ones. I went to KKs and ordered a full breakfast, to find it filling, but good quality cooking as well. The bacon was thick and meaty, the hash browns were golden brown perfection, scrambled eggs were some of the best I've had. Biscuits and gravy were excellent. Waiting staff were chatty, cracked some jokes for us, and had a well groomed appearance. KKs is good old fashioned Americana. read more

Went here to get breakfast. First thing was tepid coffee. The eggs my husband ordered were so runny you could of drank it. My Denver omelet had white jelly like substance in it after first bite. They had barely cooked it. Gross. When I complained, they replaced them, but put the new omelet next to the old one. Are you serious? The service was like the cooking. Not really caring or having any pride in it. Maybe the service is better to the regulars that live nearby or the truckers that drive through. To add insult to injury the two meals cost about 19$. Not again folks. McDonalds would be the same and cost less. read more

The toast and bacon were burnt. I will not come again. The waitress knew they were burnt and never fazed her. Not good

Little place off the beaten path but their breakfast (chicken fried steak) is excellent. Not a big place so go early if you plan on eating there on the weekend. read more

Today was the third and last time I will visit. First time, OKAY; second time my wife hated it, said the fried potatoes tasted like the grease hasn't been changed in ages, but I really wanted to like it and today I called in an order, and when I called in the lady answered with a friendly greeting but was talking full volume into the phone to someone else about the soda machine. I waited and then she said "Hello?!" like she was waiting on me, nevermind she was having a conversation with someone else, hilarious. At any rate, she took my order and said it would be right up. We waited a few minutes and went to pick it up. When we got there our order wasn't even placed yet. Bummer, but I can handle a few minute delay(although we were completely ignored when we arrived). We got our order which consisted of 3 orders of biscuits and gravy and one order of french toast, but we only received two orders of B&G not 3 like we ordered. Got home and the B&G was like salt paste, no kidding. They did not taste anything like gravy. If your eyes were closed it would have been impossible to tell what you were eating. The consistency was like melted cheese, it would string 6 inches off the fork and was so salty we literally gave it to the dogs(They loved it). Kind of a bummer, I really want to like it, its an out of the way old school diner, but its really bad, and the service was really unfriendly. read more

horrible service Today biscuit was cold hash browns werent all the way done eggs werent sunside up like i asked for them than my husband asked for water n the chick forgot to gave us the water the place was a mess..never again will we go there read more
