    Spencer's is a local establishment. They have multiple locations around town but this own is very close to our home. It's a great choice for breakfast or lunch. Service is always on point. I don't think I've ever had my coffee refilled so fast in my life. They have a nice cozy feel, where almost every table is a booth at this specific restaurant. It's great for 1-2 or ever larger parties. They'll make it work for you, no matter how big your party is, especially when they have the banquetesque style room in the back. The food has never disappointed. Cooked to order and just a tip, to order any of your potato options at breakfast well done. They some times also have a bbq going outside for lunch and the occasional dinner. Overall the food is great, the atmosphere is nice and the service is excellent. I would also touch on this place being about the average, price wise, when compared to other local breakfast establishments but the CRAZY $3.00 "admin charge" to pay with a card is a little over the top. So my advise would be to"BRING CASH"

    Chile verde omelette.

    Had not been to Spencer's in a while so I was excited for our retiree group to attend this months breakfast at Spencer's. I ordered the chile verde omelette as that's how I like to compare cooks and variations at various diners The presentation good. The chile verde was not as tender as most breakfast places. The country potatoes were good enough but my friends said their hash browns were lacking and not cooked all the way through. Service was PERFECT. Overall not a bad day but for $17.50 I'd like tender, cut with a fork pork chunks. 3.5 stars but I'll round up and be back to try the chile verde again.

    Service is fast. Food is good. The place is cozy and clean. Staff is friendly and your cup of coffee will always be filled without asking

    Biscuits and Gravy

    Amazing food, quick and friendly service! I wish they had a patio! But the inside is fine and a classic that people are used to. If it ain't broke!

    Pretty good breakfast place! I think my only thing I gotta say was the portion size maybe? I guess I was kinda thrown off guard by the size of the omelette was when I thought it would be bigger. Same goes for the pancakes. Everything was delicious but we just wish the portion size was a bit bigger considering they were about $16-18. Our servers were very nice and attentive and we were seated right away when we arrived at around 9:30am! And the food came out very quick, maybe less than 15 min?

    I took my mother's to Spencer's for breakfast last week. This is my first time since they changed their hours. We ordered a ham and cheese omelette and a hobo omelette. Mother loved her hash browns and our omelets were delicious. Serve was just ok and my order came out wrong so she ate her breakfast while I watched but I would return.

    Good service with even better food ! Place was packed and still they provided that great service kept coffee coming out hot and we all enjoyed our meal thank you see you again soon ...

    They rarely take dirty dishes away.

    My friends and I come through here 1-2 times a year. We eat here primarily because the food is good. Never had food here we didn't like.I can't really say the service is all that great. I feel like because we aren't regulars that we don't get good service. Takes a bit to get started, ordered, anything else... the servers sure are quick to drop that check and NOT buss the table. I'm a server myself. And it's beyond me when they don't take dirty dishes out of the way. Not sure if we may return.

    Flatware presented in a protective paper sleeve

    As always the restaurant is clean and well cared for. The staff is prompt, polite and friendly. My server was Lindsey who was great. You always see a lot if regulars here, which speaks well of both staff and food. I like that they bring the flatware in a paper case, which keeps it cleaner & sanitary. I ordered the Caesar Salad lunch special with Sautéed Salmon. They serve a generous portion of skin on salmon filet that is lightly dusted with a Creole/Cajun seasoning. The skin is crispy and the salmon moist. The Caesar dressing tastes a bit more like an Italian vinaigrette, but is tasty. It's topped with fresh shredded Parmesan, lovely ripe fresh tomatoes and croutons. It is placed on a generous bed of dressed Romaine lettuce. The price is $17 which, in my opinion, an appropriate price for the serving. If you are looking for a delicious home style meal with good service Spencer's is on the list.

    There's a regular menu, a Senior menu, and a lunch special menu

KYRA Let us taste the sweet tea before I got "the sugar" getting a whole glass. And I'm glad she did it is traditionally Southern sweetened tea which would have gave me a problem drinking that.

The GRUB : They have a good southern menu and they have very attentive staff today we got the" Surf and Cluckers" Meal w/catfish, chicken thigh, chicken breast, 5 shrimp, sweet potatoes, Mac and cheese and black eyed peas and Cornbread... and I loved every bit of it the catfish 5/5 stars was tasty well cooked and seasoned just right the chicken breast was filleted (too thin for my liking) 4/5 stars, cooked in a very good batter along with the chicken thigh 5/5 stars the five shrimp 5/5 stars were not jumbo shrimp but we're good enough to satisfy and tasted the same way the catfish tasted in the cornmeal batter, the sweet potatoes were very good and I was surprised at how well they tasted the 5/5 stars Black Eyed Peas where soft and well seasoned 5/5 stars, cornbread was good but colder than I would have liked as it didn't melt the butter 3/5 stars while the macaroni and cheese was nothing to rave about 2/5 stars., honestly for the price it was about as much food as I would have eaten if I went to Hodels for about the same total price for 2 people, however if I had this meal anywhere else outside of Bakersfield it would have cost me approximately twice as much..Great deal for the price. Quick review of Mom's house and I was not disappointed. GIVE THEM A TRY , I've been hesitant on going here since the original owner passed away and it was renamed Mom's House, so my friend who is a sunday regular, offered to buy my lunch here, so what the heck why not just go glad we went ,well try to take the family one day.

She checked on me throughout my stay to see if I needed anything and was sweet and thoughtful the entire time. Another employee, Alberto, also went above and beyond. He greeted me with an upbeat, charismatic demeanor and was kind, respectful, and genuinely caring. I truly felt welcomed, I feel like this level of service is rare nowadays.

It does come on an extremely hot skillet that I kept accidentally grazing so I would say a small adjustment could be to put it in a bowl to serve instead of a metal skillet. The Irish latte was good, had a lot of cinnamon but it definitely had a great amount of caffeine. The menu is simple & that's something I truly admire in an establishment. Their desserts looked SO GOOD. I'll have to come by another time to try it. The only downfall to this visit was the air was uncomfortably warm & stifling. It was in the lows 90's outside & it felt just like that inside.
