    Side order of hash browns
    Danny C.

    The best hash browns in town. Also the largest fluffy biscuits you will find with a thick cut sausage gravy that they never skimp out on. I love the curbside pickup option that makes it super simple and easy and the service is always top notch and quick to order regardless of how busy they are.

    Monte Cristo Sandwich & Fries
    Dara B.

    Second Time Here & Ready to Go Back! This is really I think the BEST Breakfast place in town. I was partial to Old River Grill which is still good. But this place takes the cake. GREAT food! GREAT Service! The waitress staff anticipates your every need. They give you soda/tea to go when you are leaving. The Chipotle Ranch is a must if you are having fries. I would honestly eat it on anything! If you are craving clam chowder they also have the one and only Splash Cafe Chowder and they give you a little crab topping! This Monte Cristo was really good. I ate it with syrup and it was delicious. Such an odd combination but delicious! The fries were HOT and perfectly cooked. 10/10 in all areas! Will definitely be back.

    Chicken Fried Steak Omelette
    Angie B.

    Husband took me for breakfast at Renae's because it was a popular spot for oil field workers. The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping center in Rosedale. Husband and I decided to split the Chicken Fried Steak Omelette breakfast (came with toast or biscuits and gravy) and my youngest son got the kids pancake, eggs, and sausage breakfast. I loved the unique twist to a traditional omelette with the chicken fried steak. The chicken fried steak was perfectly seasoned and crispy! The omelette was fluffy and cooked to perfection. I just cut up and mixed the hashbrown and placed the mixture on toast and pure perfection! The kids breakfast was plentiful and my son enjoyed his breakfast. Thank you for the wonderful breakfast and can't wait to visit again!

    The food was awesome and quick, the server was friendly and helpful. IF there is any drawback that would be the location. Will be back again

    French Dip
    Claudia B.

    Nothing like discovering a hidden gem. I was shocked when my friend said they had the best burgers. I'd never heard of them before. Renae's Cafe is tucked away, next to a laundromat! Once you step inside, you're immediately greeted by a friendly waitress. Their building feels nice and cozy, like you're going to dine in someone's home. It really is a local favorite, because the dining area was packed. They post their specials on white boards and they always are switching it up. I ordered a burger my first time and it did not disappoint. They place the lettuce, tomato, and onions on the side, so you dress the burger yourself. I like mine with everything on it, so once assembled--it was massive! And the crinkle cut fries were amazing! On this second visit I ordered their French Dip sandwich. I've had French Dips from other places in town and I can say that this one takes the top spot. It was huge! Side of onion rings made it that much better. In conclusion: friendly staff, warm atmosphere, large portions--check out Renae's!

    The supreme omelette with fruit.

    I will definitely go back! The service was great and so was the food. Very large proportions.

    The breakfast I had that you should try 5 stars
    Dianalynn R.

    We really got good service with our food and servers both. The food was as good as they said it would be, and I love adding new restaurants to my travels. I honestly wouldn't have found this gem without the word of mouth of friends that visit regularly, so I'm grateful for their advice. I posted a picture of my salad, it's delicious and totally worth the price, I took some home it was so filling. Next time I'm in town I'm coming back for an omelette, hubs said his spinach shrimp was the best he's ever had. Highly recommend.

    Pastrami sandwich
    Dale C.

    Ok what a little gem. Great vibe off the beaten path. The service is great so is the attitude of the staff. It was busy so that's a great sign of doing something right. I ordered the pastrami special. So very good I loved it. One of my favorite pastrami sandwiches I've had. You need to try this place

    Clam chowder 1000/10
    Marlisa S.

    The French toast was awesome here. It was crispy, savory, and sweet! Getting the order of 4 slices, without the combo was plenty of food in itself. I still had leftovers! The French toast didn't even need the syrup tbh, which tells you how tasty it was. Service wise it needs a little work this time, our server just didn't have a great attitude. Maybe she was having a bad day and was fed up, but either way she was a little rude and times and it was not fun. There are no tvs in here which I like a lot! It forces you to pay attention to each other! I like how open it is, the location is a bit random but it makes it a quaint family owned business! The business owner wasn't there this time but last time she was super nice! I suggest checking this place out, lots of yummy food.

    My husband smiling and reading after enjoying his meal.

    This restaurant is always a pleasure to eat at. We fill welcomed and attended to even at their busiest times. The atmosphere is filled with joyful people having pleasant conversations. The restaurant is warm cozy and inviting. Food is hot and delicious. They all work as a team to provide beyond excellent service. We highly recommend eating here. They're only open from 6am - 2pm but after giving exceptional service, they deserve it. The owner and her staff are sweet. Love this place! Sorry we forgot to take photos of our food, but we haven't been disappointed with anything we've eaten.

    Deep pit sandwich with chili beans, potato salad and side of salsa.
    Travis K.

    Came during the morning mad rush after starting our laundry. Seated right away as usual and very quick and prompt service. This little hole in the wall gem just keeps surprising me with eat new plate I try. Must come see yourself.

    This is an unassuming restaurant, in an industrial park. Inside it is very cute & kitsch-y. I was greeted immediately upon arrival and seated quickly. This is definitely a local favorite. I ordered the Bako Omelet, which is filled with bacon, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes and bell peppers. I got mine sans bell peppers because I'm allergic. On top is avocado and sour cream. Everything was well prepared and very tasty. If go again.

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.

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.
