Renae's Cafe - 2024 updated lunch menu - American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

At first, when pulling up to the strip mall, we weren't really sure if we should go in. We opened the door and were very pleasantly surprised of the cuteness and home feel of the restaurant. The service was excellent and servers were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The food was piping hot and absolutely delicious! My husband got the Meanie Omelet that was hot, delicious and had a generous portion of all the ingredients in it. I chose the Tuna Melt. Usually with tuna, it's a hit or miss. Lucky for me, this was one of the most delicious tuna melts I've ever had. It was crunchy, not too fishy, fresh and I enjoyed every bite. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The bathroom was meticulously clean. I highly recommend Renae's Cafe. We definitely will be back! read more

Good quality, decent food, and large quantity. We ordered basic breakfast fair. It was under seasoned. The staff were friendly and attentive. read more

Food here is just downright amazing! The ham is so good. The Staff is always so incredibly friendly and welcoming! Their takeout is super quick and efficient as well. You definitely won't be disappointed when eating here! read more

Very good fast food service and delicious options the only criticism I have it's small and gets packed other then that it's worth the wait.

I wanted to try out this spot because I was craving breakfast so I looked for somewhere to eat at near Rosedale. The location is around industrial so I don't think I would have found it on my own! The people here were super friendly and welcoming! The food was also delicious! I was craving bacon and they definitely delivered! Super juicy and crispy at the same time. The orange juice tasted fresh too! I would definitely come back again as it was super delicious and the servers and hosts were super nice! read more

Consistently good food and service. Quick to seat. Clean restaurant and restroom. Well priced

A Warm Greeting and a Hot Cup of Coffee This is rapidly becoming my favorite breakfast place in the whole world for many reasons. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and the food is reasonably priced. The portions are perfect for me, so there is no reason to get a to-go box, or walk away hungry. The basic pancake breakfast with 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon, is prepared just right! The restroom is spacious and can accommodate more than one person at a time, so you don't have to wait outside a locked door when The Spirit says move. Finally, the clientele is composed of hardworking locals, who have made Bakersfield and vicinity the wonderful place that it is. They keep to themselves, but newcomers are made to feel welcome. read more

The food here is very good. The staff was attentive and efficient. The servers checked on me. I've had a burger here and the potato salad. The potato salad is dangerously good. The kind that you can't stop eating even if you're full. I would say that the vibe was a cozy or home-y one. read more

Renae's Cafe - The bacon was very good. Thick cut and just the right crispness. And the potato salad on the side. - American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The servers are friendly and drinks and food arrive right away. Good mix of tables and booths. The food is homemade and delicious. Cute country decor. The place is easy to get to and near major roads and shops. We were seated right away even though it was Sunday, and it was busy. Good choice of lunch or breakfast. There is a happy vibe as well. Definitely recommend. read more

great food and service! i always come here with my dad because it's his favorite. he loves the ambiance and their chicken fried steak!

Upon arriving ,no one greeted me .it took about 15 min before someone approached me and asked me if I had been helped ..I wanted to walk out but wanted to try this little cafe out as I was just driving through on my way home to Santa Cruz ..The service was ok and the food was ok ..The set up of the restaurant is very awkward read more

October 2024 - First time at this hole in the wall spot. It was a little challenging to find, it's very nestled within industrial buildings, not what I was expecting. Everyone is greeted kindly upon entrance no matter how busy it is, nice touch. Very small waiting area, has nice bar top, but the wait staff pickup the beverages from same area, there's no designated wait staff bar top area it seems, it felt kinda awkward a bit crowded with them yelling over the drink orders. The workers seemed to work well with each other like a well oiled machine. This establishment gets very busy, but they turn the tables quickly. They have specials written on white board and that's where I ordered my dish from. I've never had a Huevos ranchero with sandwich style ham slices layered on the crisp tortilla. Ham isn't may favorite, but others probably love it. It definitely has a diner vibe, many employees very nice and eager to assist. I wanted to like it more, but maybe I give another chance to really like the food better. The pumpkin muffin, warmed up, was really yummy! read more

After looking around trying to find a breakfast spot on a Sunday afternoon my husband and I found Renae's. It was packed but the wait wasn't more than 10 minutes. Food and service was fast. Our first time here and it won't be our last! Definitely delicious read more

Renae's Cafe has been a great place for breakfast or lunch. We tried their shredded beef omelette one morning, and it was not only delicious but looked good. Added their biscuits and gravy, which in my opinion, are the best I have had. The food has always been delicious. On another occasion, we tried their fish and chips and , yep two thumbs up. I would recommend it to anyone. Service is great too. Go for it. read more

Food was. Try good and served quickly and hit. Service was good on Sunday after church. It was quite busy. We'll run place.

Yummmmm!! We walked in this morning to a packed house! We had good timing and got a table right away. Stopped in here for my third time, this time it was while I was waiting on my comforters at the laundromat in the same complex. I had bacon and eggs with b&g and hashbrowns and my husband had the chicken fried steak and eggs. The chicken fried steak was hand breaded and so crispy, it was had delicious flavor! The only thing he complained about was how the breading would fall off when he cut bites. My eggs were cooked perfectly, the coffee was great and they had several creamer options available. This place is so clean and staffing shortages don't seem to be an issue here as we were literally checked on a ridiculous amount of times by so many staff members- we both agreed it was better than the alternative read more

Service was good and fast. But food was horrible. Sausage Patty was out of a freezer and not homemade. Hash browns were not really cooked. Eggs were ehh. This place gets two stars because the biscuits and gravy were good. I will probably never eat here again. There are much better choices close by. read more

The entire staff and Renee's café was attentive very helpful and very outgoing was four of us plus a baby. The food was delicious. Portions were very generous. I would definitely go back again. I have suggested to others as well. read more

Good delish! Ambiance was nice and homey, but the service was MAGNIFICENT! those ladies are awesome at what the do. They make you feel at home, they take care of you once you've ordered their delicious food and they continue to give you great service up to the time you are ready to walk out. I had the green chili with meat scramble. Yummy! My friend had the veggie omelet with sides of bacon and biscuits and gravy and tanks of coffee. I'll be back!! read more

I read a lot of recommendations for Renae's and we decided to give it a try. Had breakfast. It was really good. Got seated right away on a Sunday morning. I wasn't expecting that. What really impressed me too was the service. The crew was working like clockwork. Like a well oiled machine. read more

I've been seeing this joint on Facebook recommended to me by so many people, so I had to give it a try. My dad was in town and we decided to have breakfast here on a Sunday morning. We expected it to be absolutely packed and a huge wait because of the day and time, but it actually was fine and the staff was getting tables turned over at a great speed. We were seated after just a few minutes. I really liked the fact that stepping in, you didn't feel like you were in the same shopping center anymore. The decor totally took me into a diner/Cafe vibe rather than strip mall. It was really pleasant. I noted that they were transparent about food cook times at the front for to go orders and loved that they recommended biscuits and gravy for those in a hurry. It totally makes sense to be transparent. I went ahead and ordered a smaller pancake breakfast with bacon and eggs that was purposefully for those who are a little less hungry or trying to be good. My dad got the Bako Omelette I believe, which was really great for those who are hungry looking for something savory. Both plates were perfect, delicious, and the right portions for us and we can't wait to go back and try more! The menu had so many tempting items. Our food came out pretty quickly for how busy they were! We were impressed and our server was on it. The check paying process was also smooth. Definitely recommending this as a great breakfast option in town! read more

Very friendly staff always keeping your cups and mugs full. I am fond of the chile verde omelet. Typically good eggs, bacon and sausage however I tried a burrito and it was kind of dry and bland, and I am also not fond of the county potatoes as they seem to be a little undercooked or cooked in too much oil so there is never a crispiness to them. I recommend the hash browns however as they are perfectly crunchy. To go soda cups are the best and they serve DIET DR PEPPER!!!! Renae's can be recommended for a good breakfast and lunch. read more

I came down from San Jose yesterday to visit family in Bakersfield and we all decided to try this spot since they live 5 min away. Everything went well and food was great except for a young lady who was very rude and made us feel very uncomfortable. She took our drink orders but did not greet us or even look at us. Every time she talked to us was with attitude and I could not enjoy my meal because of it. When she came around to pick up our plates, she rudely reached over the table to take the plates interrupting our conversation and not even asking if we were finish. We were the only people of color in the restaurant, so I would hate to think it was related to that. This young lady seemed like she was in her late teens and was blonde. Although the other staff and food was great, I don't think we will be returning because of this experience. read more

Sunday Funday breakfast stop was an amazing first experience here and we've been back probably half a dozen times since! You can sit at the bar or wait for a table. I've seen them accommodate slightly larger groups in their limited space. Just fyi, they share a bathroom with the adjoining church. We usually go for breakfast, which is by FAR some of the best in town. The biscuits and gravy is top notch. Not too peppery and nice and thick. They have lots options like skillets, omelets, waffles & pancakes. Can't say enough good about Renae's. AND they have Pepsi! 10/10 will return. read more

First time dining here, it's cute small place. Service was great with no wait at all. read more

Renae's Cafe - Denver Omelette with country potatoes - American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Went in there today for the first time with some co-workers for lunch , boy was it good. I had the pastrami sandwich and I substituted the roll for sourdough, I highly recommended you do that it was delicious. The bread was crispy and the pastrami was perfectly cooked. The pickles are on the side and so is the mustard I love that. And the fries are crinkle cut , those are my favorite. I also had a cup f the clam chowder, they add a bit of imitation crab on top that gives it a little sweet taste to it. FYI if the chowder taste familiar, thats because it's from splash cafe. Overall the service was great and so was the food , I will definitely be going back to chop away at other parts of the menu pretty soon. read more

I work at a company across the street and we LOVE getting our breakfast/ the ONLY place we order from. They are quick to answer, and on request they will write down the receipt with prices for our company card. Which is so awesome of them, and time consuming! I have only done the drive thru service around back due to COVID. All the sweet workers are sure to wear masks and come out quickly after the honk! If you are looking for HUGE portions for little $, this is your place! But be sure to tip because it's definitely worth it. Lifetouch LOVES you. read more

We've been talking to our friends about Renae's Cafe off of Meany in Rosedale so much that they sent us pics of their Breakfast Of course that meant we had to grab lunch there too. My husband had their Ortega and Swiss cheese dip on thick sourdough bread and I had the Meany Chicken sandwich (sans bread) which had all the thing I can have (on keto)- Juicy Chicken breast, bacon, avocado, and Swiss cheese paired with a salad with ranch. Renae's is our go to spot for breakfast and lunch. Great food and great service. A local spot that makes you feel like family every time you walk in the door. read more
